Mx. Kditoi : In the editorial remarks
in number twelve of the Spectator, under
the title of ''Indian names," somo nig.
gestions are made in reference to the pro
priety of having some uniform standard
for the orthography of Indian names,
which I most heartily approve, Hefore I
give my views on this subject and upon
other kindred matter, suffer mo to say
that, having been a resident of this nun
try for nearly ten yean, 1 have, in com.
mon with many 01 the early settlers of
this country, witnessed the great diversity
in orthography of which ou speak. In
many instances of which thero appears to
be manifest departure from the correct
principle of language, and I have often
thought that a uniformity in this matter
would bo a great desideratum. It seems
to me that the only correct position we can
take in spelling any name or word be.
longing to a foreign unwritten language,
is this, viz: 1st, to spell the namoor word
exactly as the nati es pronounce the same
(unless thero bo somo manifest barbarism
in said pronunciation); anil second, to
spell it in the most unambiguous manner
possible, using no redundant letters and
using no idiom peculiar either to our own
or any other language. If the above prin
ciples be correct, thero has been (to sav
tho least) a most unhappy departure from
Itv which prevails. And I know of no
better method to correct that which need
remedy, than to call public attention to
tho tamo through tho press, hoping that
our best educated men will soon settle
down Into a correct uniformity in lite or
thography of Indian names.
