b recent enactment Of the legislature Of Massachu-
setts il Is provided that hereafter an persons white men
born Europe and settling in that State shall be denied
the rights OF citizenship until twentyone years shall have
elapsed siace their arrival in the State and the
time il provided that negroes born ii the State who
have absoonded from their the South shah have
al the rights Of citizenship to the native white
population Of that State.
There Isl unfortunately, much popular ignoranoein-
deed much scholastic ignorance prevailing among
people in respect to the specific character aud qualities Of
the human races that this startling aud absolutely
sekenng display Of ignoran and blind impiey scarcely
attracts attention though the time win when the
burning Of witches in the State win snhside into
common. sense and decent transaction in comparison
is undoubtedly the FIRST instance Of human effort to
totally reverse aud nullify the laws OF the Almighty The
British arstocracy long abored elevate the negro
or more correctly speaking degrade the laboring mill
lions Of their 70 level with the negro but y IS
believed they sought place the negro Gbore the
white man and Massachusetts, thought BY many to be the
most intellectual State in the Union and strange indeed
claiming especially respect the higher law, there
fore fairly entitled the distinction OF placing
or seeking TO place inferior negro aoee the superior
white man. To comprehend the inetabe wickedness,
veness, ndecency and impiey Of this transaction, IL s
only necessary few elementary facts, spread
before daily every step and which admit Of no
mistake miseonceptiOn whatever Thus: we annually
receive many thousands OF European emgmnts, rude,
uncouth ignorant Irshmen Germans, Sc; at the end
Of five years make citizens Of them their children
grow up with, nermarry, and intermngle their blood
with our own and the result increased vitality power
energy of population Why this result evident TO
every one2 Because these rishmen Germans Euro
peans of any kind whatever all Caucasian white Men

it is just as true with with inferior anmasthe

Per Contra the white or Caucasian cohabis with
or ntermarries with the negress there follows muatto
ISM hybridsn, deterioration disease and finally extinction
Why Because the negro Is negro and nor white
man because he is different species Of man, and the AL
mighty has perpetualy forbidden the permanent existence
Of any secondary accidental form Of bengto the mu

The American ntermarries with the daughter Of Irish
or immigrant and though the father may have
been rude ignorant may have been IA slave Of the
Pope" but nevertheless the offspring Of this marriage Is
the equal intellectually aud physically Of the proudes
and best of the blood OF rs. Now, viii Mr. Parker
Mr. Philips say will the members of the legislature say
who voted to place the rishman and German below the
the negro, that either of them married negro
sife, her offspring would be the equal of the former
they doubtless ignorant of the laws involved and tbs
ndeous consequences wrapped up in their great antisla
very cause but nevertheless they kaO~ from their
experience that negro equality, the reduction prac
lice Of their theory Of single race, is forbidden they
knoH that inermarry with aegress, their offspring is
inferior and though they do not know that this offspring
Is ahnormasmthat 1t dies out within fixed period
they know that deterioration of their blood abso
lutte and unmsakable tateriory just clearly they
know that offspring by Irish German woman is
ID any respect whatever and yet they have aadacousy
assumed trample the higher law OF the Almighty into
the dust and place the inferior negro ADORE the superior

These general results papable 10 everybody There
no doubt whatever that the admxure of the European
immigration coming the several European countries
