ANTAGONIST OF RACES IN EUROPE.
From the Rev. DIR. Bethune's Grafton before
the Phi Beta Kappa Society Of Harvard Uni,er-

With the history Of this country, Gnd

vrlopment Of human nature. Up to that
moment, The great division. even the lar.
ger subdivisions of our race, had been

made distinct by climate, BY language, by
hereditary habits. The eastern and south,

grown over them. Each uaiion has mar.
ried only with its own blood, and the evils
Of the incest are upon their offspring.
Each has kept its own characteristic
vices and virtues apart from those Of the
others; vel il is law Of Providence, that
distinct vices act as checks upon their RI
val passions, while virtue is stimulated by
virtue. The Italian is only an Italian, the
Frank Frank, the Spaniard a Spaniar,l;
and so each OF the races is now well-nigll
as distinct as when Cesar wrote his Com
mentaries. Some changes have beer
wrought by religion and the press. bu
neither religion nor the press has had ii'
fair influence; the one has been distorted
the olher manacle,l, both abused by ma
