in MARYLAND that is they free 10 take Of them
selves but they possess Of the legal attributes
of freedom not even British freedom freedom o,

ehusets offers 10 make them ega white men 10 confer
upon them all the rights Of white TO vote TO hold
office be governors Of the State-ndeed offers TO Gle
them above white born in Europe And in the
face Of all these offers these seeming temptations not sin
gle of these Maryland negroes accepts the though
they can reach Massachusetts, in few hours.
So too in regard to Liberia Phianthropica wel-meaR-
ing citizens got together and organized society for send
ing negroes Africa where removed from the pressure Of
circumstances it hoped the negro would manifesto
different character from that hitherto known.
Well great efforts made to induce the negro to 60
TO Africa TO become citizena voteran ofce-holder
perchance Presdent-and some thousands IN quarter
of century have gone there.
Some few hybrds or persons partakng largely Of Cau
casan blood, and therefore Of Caucasian instincts, have
doubtless emgrated TO Africa to escape from their anoma
lous position here but single negro has ever 10
Africa unless brbed do sothat Isl negro OF his
voon, paying his passage, and acting from his own
impulses the Irish and German engran doesno such
negro has gone Africa since the foundation of the
Liberan Society.
But need not multiply these things No single in
stance is found in the stout ensemble of human experience
where the negro has resisted that natural and legitimate
supremacy of the Caucasian Inherent in the nature and
cessity of things. Indeed such supposton involves
contradiction utterly senseless. How that be felt
which has existence How tho negro aspire after

he is naturally subordinate?
True this legitimate control of the white man may be
abused it often is in the of children and the negro
will then resist seek TO escape from iii but when hui
namely exercised he has WILL as indeed he
never can, desire to cast it off
The abolitonis is hopelessy blind to these things He
assumes the negro TO have the sentiment Of equality
when there ia equalityto have desire for liberty
when he is naturally subordinate; and these phantoms

cious of such sentiment aded and wearcd horses
of the brandy-excited energy of the stage-driycr.
In conclusion, the time is not far off when the scales
will drop from their eyeswhen they viii see the fixed
fact the Interchangeable law the eternal TRUTH the negro
negro perpetual child intellectually "boy' and 10
apply their imaginary "hgher law to such being
Of necessity kill every negro in the Union They may
see if they will open their eyes to the facts star
ing them in the in every direction that proper

starting from the two extremes-South Carolina and Mas
sachusesthe negro lives longest dies soonest just
be approxmates to those standards or in other words

condition in the former withers and dies just he is
forciby thrust into abnormal condition in the latter.
