A TREATISE ON THE SIX-NATION INDIANS
By J. B. MACKENZIE
——————————-
(Page 28—lines 7-9.)
It has seemed to me that it was not quite ingenuous in myself to attribute to the Indian writer in question (Rev. Peter Jones), the reflection on his countrymen, obviously conveyed in my expression, "discovering in him such in-dwelling monsters as revenge, mercilessness, implacability."
That writer's position, more fairly apprehended, is this: That, while confessing these to be blots on the Indian nature, in the abstract, he yet seeks to fasten them on many whites as well.
