I had therefore determined to leave the subject in the hands of those to whose attention I had called it. But perhaps'a correspondent of the National Intelligencer deserves some notice from me.—Mr. ‘F.’ has, for reasons best known to himself, taken occasion to say, that ‘a few Indian mounds are all that Aztalan has to boast of, and that neither brick nor mortar was ever seen there,’ c., and has endeavored to convey the idea that he had visited the premises.I was surprised that a man whose writings show him to be possessed of literary talent, and occupying the place which Mr. ‘F.’ fills or has filled, should, upon the information of a ‘vagabond,’ have contradicted what appeared to have been a careful survey and measurement, especially as be denounces in such broad terms those who have written (as he says) of the West without personal observation.I can only say, that having frequently visited these ruins, I have seen nothing to induce me to change my opinion, or vary the statement of facts, which I have given; and Mr. F. is at liberty to draw what inferences he pleases; and the public will doubtless duly appreciate the writings of one who has shown himself to possess such a total disregard of truth.
