The Native Race.

I may allude to what may be called the Native Question—the fact that a race of strong men are dying out before our eyes. Could not something be done to arrest so dire a phenomenon? I am of opinion that something could be done, and would like the subject, both as to its cause and its cure, exhaustively considered. It seems to me that were books on social and sanitary philosophy plentifully distributed among the Natives, and a stronger public opinion raised in favour of their preservation, some good might result. Special laws, special missions, and special actions of many kinds might be contrived for this object. Where there is a will there is a way it may be suspected, in this matter.
