And to maintain the utmost secresy of their situation
and prevent being known, they kept no animals, ant
nothing of the kind but chickens; and that the cocks
were kept in vault under ground so that no noise
should be hear from them without And further, when
everany person had attempted to venture to the walls
of this city, they never had been allowed TO return
and nothing of their habits and modes Of life
definitely known. And to show still further, that this
peculiar has had long line of ancestry far back
to the earlier ages of the word and which neither pa
gan Jewish history knows anything of many Of
these cities were in ruins at the time of the Spanish
conquest, and from all appearances, had been for
centuries. Now these historical facts, (or they
probemacs go to prove conclusiyey, that there has
been one unbroken chain of physical connection in the
same race, from time unknown, without inercommun-
cation, or crossing with any other-unti all these ma
tiona casts and features have become unvaryng the
laws OF nature, and that physiological, well mental
degeneracy, has ndeby written the consequences of
this violation, in the unmlstakable form of the AZTEC
CHILDREN.
Again. these remarkable children afford some of the
most interesting, yet melancholy of reflections
not only Of the degeneracy of their
but as like produce like effects, comes home
to us just rebuke of redoubed force when we look
around, and discover the appalling evidences of prema-
ture decay and death, standing in bold relief from
the very causes in our own race
"The degeneracy, and even idiocy Of some of the
BILE and royal families of Spain and Portugal from mar
rying neces, and other relations, is well known;
and defective brains in all those cases are observed
Butthe enquiry which readily arises in the mind of
every Observer is whether they the offspring of the
same parents! From the difference of age, physical
conformation and dissimarity of mental manifestation
we readily suppose they not. Indeed IRON the cir
cumsance ola considerable difference in years-from
having knowledge of their vernacular and not even
attempting any conversation together and their present
great dociy Of learning language-that each one
learns by imitation from others, goes to show conclu
svey, that they not brother and sister; and that
they must have been associated with others of like
kind their Ignorance of their native tongue and
inability to converse with each other was Intentional
But when we reflect further, after manual inspection
of their bodies, and witnessing the prominent marks of
many serious injury, and the large and deep seated
scars of several condtioned sores which they have
sustained, enables to conclude, that their eness
was hVtnliS uuOohhOH, tHey were associated
ndiscrimnately with others, without receiving any par
tcuar sympathy, patenal attention, on account of
them and their dinainlaion.
But again, seeing that they are naturally active and
intelligent, and becomngly formed, were they some-
thing uncommon, and the offspring of living parents,
paterna affection would have prevented them from being
torn from their bosoms, and their native home hence
conclude, that they the and natural re-
suit of long and continued physical violation by inter-
marriage; and it should teach that the Anglo-Saxon
race is not only tending to the same end of mental and
physical degeneration of stature,--but still greater
shortening of human life, by daily repeated violation, in
propagating from infrm and scky constitutions with
regard adaptation of temperament or phreno
logical development
Again, it comes home to us in a more forcibe LIGHT
at the present time, in Irrational rioatio'' which the
assumed 'O,uers that be- is endeavoring to teach that
s'lts just, though stern,
That race overwhelmed by race, in turn
sss Shall pass away; and we like them
| forum borne, like them decay
Go then, and see the Aztec chiIdren,-and learn the
instructive lesson, that without reason in obeying the
laws of nature, may soon call the worm our sister
