This is the grand dogma whereon agitation began
has increased and is about to overturn the only
fabric that ever promised human liberty and ex-
emption from oppression. Let us take the first
branch of the assumption; and what then?
We proceed, relying on the Constitution and on
compromises, until the catastrophe is upon US =
Well might we say, of what avail to can be pa
per guarantees, if God and nature be against us
Truly, should raise a straw against hurri-
cane? But if the entire dogma be utterly false,
then God and nature are not against us and how
infinitely important it is by every mode, to brand
the falsity, and bring the undeceyed and con sci
entous to our help? Should not every one rise
to this the greatest duty? Be certain that if moth
ing better than the Constitution and the compro-
misses under it be preached, and preached soon
and cffectually, shall be overrun. Remember
a goat and goose-divinely inspired, of course!-
were conducted at the head of the crusade of the
middle ages and when was crusade known to
recede and disband? The scourge must be resis-
ted, else it will end in the waste it alone a.

You may seek to evade this basis question, but
you cannot, it confronts you naomentiy; and it is
the only question you have to answer. Answer
it then at once. Why need you consult what his
tory or the learned have sent down? Task your
own sluggish five senses, and they will answer for
you. Bring into line fair sample of each of the
human species. Put up just specimen of the
white races; then a representative of the red
races; then Hindoo or Chinese; next the Ethi-
opian, who cannot change his skin; put mantle
over the naked dirt -colored Oceanican and stand
him up Do not go to Africa for one of the tribes,
who have posteror appendages resembling Gree
llys queue, if there be such tribes. Take only
what authentic geography has presented and what
through the lapse of 1000 years, has not been
changed one jot by climate, revolutions civiliza
ton. Take these five samples Inspect them ;
and then say, if all these five from the same
first parents? You see and know it is impossible;
and you going to remain imposter in cling
ing to the falsity any longer? If you are not yet
convinced, call up the horse, the dog, the
family wasp, and ask their nostrils and instincts

II. Can the species of the human genus affiliate?
There has been instance of the afiliation of the
masses of any two of the species the principle
of identity and equality. Not one. This may
be proof that general atfation Can never occur
until the ordinations since the flood shall have been
changed.
III. AmolgomGtion.-Iti is asserted that VIC are
all of one flesh and blood, and so we amalgamate
If the premises be false, the corallory must fall
even under the most specious theory. 1t is best
to come up to the facts. Ever since the varieties
of man were represented on the Egyptian tombs,
some 1000 years ago, in physiognomy and color
ldentlcaly then as they now are, have any two OF
them, masses amalgamated. giving hybrid
progeny? Never once Individual instances
have occurred but the issue soon becomes cX-
tnct, showing that higher law violated
Repulslve instincts have ever prevented and must
ever deter any general commixture and discolora-
ton of the ordained tribes. Were it possible the
ultimate extinction of all might ensue.
". TIE gradation among the specieS.-There
distinct in moral and spiritual traits in anat-
orny color and ordor, that have never, as masses,
affiliated or commxcd, it follows there must be Il
grad0tion among them. Accordingly all history,
all experience and the cOmmOnest observation
show that two of them are superior and free, and
the others inferior and servile Here are the caStes
nature furnishes. Let this very important fact be
Illustrated. 1t would seem that the ordinations
for Shem, Japhct and Canaan, through Noah, and
that for Ishmael at the Reer-laha-roy had impress
sed them with different natures and distinct tempo
raj destinies. Be this as it may it must ever be
true, that the Sacred OraceS, when truly nterpre-
ted are never in conflict with the uniform exhb-
tlonS of nature
Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and Ca
naan shall be his servant" In every condition

the colored species, they have ever treated their
wives partners and equals And what have
not the issue of Shem accomplished? They have
organized States-cultvated the soil-swung the
compass in the binnacle-compeled types to trans
nit their histories and vews-put the hre to move
their machinery and transport them over land and
sea-explored the Heavens-taught the lig htnlng
to speak-and given to the world, as model, for
the regulation of equal harmonious Republican
States, the good old Constitution. The reverse OF
the dazzling picture is that they cruel in cupdi
ty, engage in crusades, and furnish anarch, opos-
tates and traitors.
Next the red decendents, Ishmael And he

it has been. But he cannot be enslayed. He is
born free and brave and ferocious. They have
been pushed to the far west by still superior
to them, and by destiny they have at each step
manfully resisted But they are not extinct
There are cheering indications that they gath
er and preserve their tribes. Let them collect
their people into States. If the issue of Shem
can govern themselves by free politics, why may
not those of Ishmael? ? If, masses, may
not affiliate and commix, STILL may they not, by
separate State organizations and Federarve Lea
que affiliate politically with the white races?
