er. Ample means can now be procured
for purchasing the negroes property, and
for making them comfortable in new
home. Besides fifty large ships at load
apiece, will carry them ali away. The
expenditure of money will he equally
small But the benefit which must re-
suit both to the white man and the ne
gro, will be alike incalculable, our State
will be relieved of great and growing
evil-peaee will be restored to our socie-
ty, and the negroes will acquire country

To protect the purity of the Circassian
blood, we think is the highest duty
which you have to perform-all other
matters on which you may be called up
on to act, can be altered or changed by
future convention, but the aezulteratSoa
Of the blood, once Effected can mever be
reformed.
In the Eastern States of our confede-
racy, where the negro population is COM
paratively small, and the climate but lily
adapted to their growth, no great evil can
result from political equality. But our
contiguity to the Southern States, which
swarm with negroes; our present large
and rapidly increasing negro population,
together with the adoption of our cli-
mate their increase, renders our situation
entirely different, and requires different
action and different laws.
In the State Of Central America, equal
ity and amal9amation have been efec-
tually tried, and the result has been, both
a moral, physical, intellectual and ma
tiona degradation. The late war be-
tween the United States and Mexico
presents most striking proofs of that fact,
and demonstrates most satisfactorily the
superiority of our Circassian stock over
the mixed bIoods of Mexico. Such i'm
becility being the result of equality and
its consequent efect-amalgama
here, what would it be here! Would
the result be different? Certainly not.
The same causes will produce the same
effects, and amalgamation here as amalga-
nation there, will SO on render the ANAL
gamated worthless and degraded peo-
pie.
This brings us to our third PROPOSE
ton, namely, that the negroes must be
removed which we have already said Is
a measure both practicable and within
our control, and as an evidence OF its
practica bility, we cite the well known
fact that we have already removed a
greater number of Indians, and with but
little inconvenience to any body If they
could be removed, why can we not dis
pose Of the negroes in the same way!
But to what point or place they should
be removed, we of course, are unable to
say; that must be a subject for future leg
isation. A part of the United States
territory, however, may be set part tor
them; or they may be removed to the
West India Islands or to Africa. But
the latter point at this time seems to be
the most favorable, and if selected as the
point Of colonization, will, in all proba-
bilty, render the operation one Of great
profit aud advantage to the negro.
donation has already been made, by
gentleman Of this city, to purchase an
Ohio in Africa. There are lands which
can now be bought for mere triae, If
taken possession of by a colony from the
State, will, like the lands in our own
Ohio, soon become of great value, and
the colonists thereby become wealthy.
This removal will not be without its in
ducements to the negroes. They Will
acquire good and permanent homes, IN
country suitable to their health and con-
dition, and withal, will enjoy the right
Of suffrage without "wadlng in blood up
to their knees
We would not, however, wantoniy in
jure the negroes, nor deprive them of
SINGLE right the enjoyment of which
would be compatible with their interests
and ours; but as the welfare of both
races-but more particularly the white
race-depends upon a separation, we
would not stop to consult the negroes
upon their choice, but after dealing fair
ly and honorably with them, Gf persua-
sion failed would compel them to go.
Their condition cannot, IN any event, be
worse than that in which the white man
found them in Africa.
In this view, however, we are met
with the popular error, which prevails
extensively over large portion of the
civilized world, and has, we have no
doubt, its influence in your Convention.
1t is, that the negroes have been greatly
injured by the white people. But such
conclusions. we humbly maintain, are
not sustained by the facts. But, on the
contrary, we think it maintainable that
every intercourse of the two races (save
that of malgamation, which is prejudi-
cial to both) has been of great advantage
to the negroes.
To elucidate this proposition, let us
turn our attention for a moment to Afri-
ca. and there view the bratalized condi-
ton OF its inhabitants. A population of
ninety millions of people there meet our
eyes. all of whom, save the little colony
at Liberia, are either slaves or masters
And that slavery, the most brntalized OF
