ity in a social political point Of yiew-is as great
| and monstrous absurdity ever was conceived
IN the schools.of paradoxical philosophy. The erro-
| neous opinions practical as well theoretical,
which prevail this point, amongst the fanatics and
even the Christians OF the North, grow out OF mis-
| conception of that language and those terms which
| abound in religion and in our philosophy-reli-
glon and philosophy whichwere founded in different
age, and before these brought into such
singular juxtapostion presented in the United
States. The whole theory of negro emancipation.
whose object is to place the blacks on an equality
with the white race, is utterly impractcable and alb
surd.
But that there will be an emancipation in process
OF time, we have not the slightest doubt That the
whole of the Southern States will one day be peoped
solely by white race, and that the African races
VIII disappear, is Just certain that the red race
which formerly occupied the States of New Eng
land, New York and their sister communities, have
faded and disappeared before the Anpo-Saxon mil
hons who now occupy the soil When the white
population the United States becomes as large and
as crowded as in certain parts of Europe, OF
China, the superior vigor and physical conformation
of the AngloSaxon race will drive from labor and
out of existence the black races throughout the
whole continent. They will disappear in the same
way and by similar process as that by which the
red races have disappeared. This is the only eman-
cpation that can take Place-an emancipation
which has already begun in some parts of Maryland
Virginia and Kentucky, where the soil is so much
worn out that ii will not yield abundance enough 10
support the two formerly We hear of the
depopulaton of certain counties in these slave States
Now this depopulaton is merely the commencement
Of that great process Of emancipation, rather dis
appearance of the black races before the superior
physical energy and mental activity Of the white
races. We have no donbt that in less than twenty
years, by the due process of nature herself,
Maryland, Kentucky and Virginia will present
an aspect as different TO that which is now afforded,
the north now does to that when the red races |
held sway.
The whole tanatcism, therefore, Of the present |
day relative to abolition, vain, absurd and fool
lsh error, which is merely used by Matchmaking
half-fedged philosophers, to agitate the world and |
10 acquire little notoriety The politicians and |
ofice-seekers OF all parties adopt it, and Jump into
TINS excitement Tor the purpose of acquiring some
little poston from which to reach Office and power
and emoument Hitherto the abolition question |
amongst the politicians of the norh and particular
ly certain party, has only been the means of de-
sroylng their ascendancy and of injuring their for
tunes and prospects. We believe that the operations
OF Cassus M. Clay and those connected with him |
during the last year, combined some Of the chief
elements which contributed to the defeat of his kns-
man. as ne calls him, Henry Clay. The expulsion
OF the abolition press from Lexington is merely the
exercise above and beyond the law of the State, of
power which every community possesses to protect
itself from ncendarsm, insurrection and those ter
rible annoyances to society, which are so little
thought OF IN the organization of civil government as
never to be provided for No doubt Mr. Clay will
endeavor 10 re-organze his journal in Cincinnati or
some other place, and out of the excitement pro-
duced by the late occurrence in Lexington seek to
acquire additional patronage and power amongst the
northern fanatics
