ihe traditions of the Indiana to people

The otiier wall is now oetween four and

wide; and uppcars in have been erected ol
unburnl bricks, whidi were alierward
l.jeeied to a heat ro intense a to leave
ihem much harder than the culinary brick
even after ibe lapse of centuries. Th
atoiy of hfl Indinns in that vicinity is that,
many hundred yer ago, a warlike people
caint from He north-east, and. ry a series
of in-cf asful battles, wrested their landc
from them. These people wee possessed

(earn thai the people inhabiting the valley
of Tez:uco, were not the Anginal occupaim
of the em!, but had come from a country to
'the north which they called Aztalan. The,
mono iiente of itvw nation agree, in a remark
able manner, with thai liiscovered in Wis
conain. The tradition, moreover, existing
among two different races, holding no coin
mumeation between each other, is a further
'confirmatory proof that the subjects of Mon
lezunn originally occupied our north west
nn territory. Other points of similarity
between the builders of the Wisconsin ruin
end the inhabitant of the valley of Mexico,
are their warlike character and superiorly
it civilisation 10 the red men. We have no
doubt, therefore, thai the jUtecs, ol whom
these Indian traditions tell, are one and
