The African Race.

The Colored population of this Country
are subjected to evil influence from the
most opposite directions. On the one side,
the Slaveholding interest and its conteder-
a.es, including the bulk of the Mercantile
and Business classes of the Free States,
with their satellites, the unthinking multi
tude, steadily represent and try to regard
the Blacks MS divinely ordained for menialS
and serfs-created only to polish boots and
pick cotton. On the other side, the Philan
thropic portion of the community are ac-
customed to think and speak of the Blacks
only as sufferers and victims-as an injured
and trampled Race whose degradation is
purely the result of White sel6shness,
cupidity and tyranny. The natural effect
on the Blacks either way is mischieveus-
the Philanthropists teaching them self
satisfaction; the Shareholders intoxicating
despair. If they cannot rise in the Social
scale, why worry themselves with the at
tempt? If their present degradation is
entirely the result of White oppression,
how can they help it Thus the great
mass of them remain sunk in debasement
and gross sensuality, when they might
and should be doing much toward their
own social emancipation.
We loathe and detest all laws which
give or withhold Political Rights on ac-
count of color. A mans a man for a
that and ought to have the full rights of
manhood, whether his savage ancestors
were Celts, Goths or Observation-Disclosures
his complexion be ebony or ivory. If he
be weak, depressed, despised and destitute,
he has 80 much the more need of all the
protection and aid that equal rights can
give him. Nothing but his own positive
misdoing can justify the State in denying
to him the rights accorded to the most ia
vored citizen. All constitutional exclusions
of any class from the Polls, the Jury-box,
&c. because of their color, are aristocratic,
unjust and infamous. We have fought
them ever since we had voice or vote, and
mean to so long as they and we shall exist.
But Equality is one thing-Famillarity
another. Every human being has Justly
the same rights as another before the law,
bat no man has right TO another's society,
save in his need as q matter Of charity.
While there are Blacks among Us, we
shall insist on their being treated as well
as Whites; but it does mot follow that we
consider the intermingling Of Whites and
Blacks in the same community natural or
desirable. We certainly do not. On the
contrary, we apprehend that moral evils
would have resulted from such coming
ling even if Slavery had never existed
that the intellectual superiority Of the
Whites would have effected a debasement
of the Blacks below their natural level,
even in state of freedom. The Indian is
not a slave, bus he degenerates and dies
out in the presence of White Civilization
the South Sea Islander is not enslaved, yet
not even Christianity can save him, In in
termiDgling with Whites, from corruption
and gradual determination. The Negro
has more Elasticity. more endurance; but
