MoRs BOLD SENrIMENrs.-We find the following
striking article in the New York Day Book We
need not designate that staunch Democratic
journal. Every day are happy to see, the Demo-
cratic press at the North enlightenng the pub
lie mind to the true character of Southern nsti-
tutions, and are giving heavy blows aboii.ioris
by the mighty battle of facts and conclusive
guments:
DIR. VAN EvRIE's PAMPHLET.-This wonderful book,
in which the author takes entirely view of
the negro question, and negro character is ha ing
most remarkable effect upon the minds of all who
read it. Its reason and logic are unassaiable and
settle forever in the minds of all candid men the
slavery question. No one rise from its perusal
with doubt as to what ought to be done with and
for the negro race. The Doctor proves beyond all
cavil or question, that the negro is physiologcay
and anatomcaly totally and entirely different as
we'll inferior being to the white man. and that his
right and natural normal condition is that of SUBJ
ordination. The following paragraph from the in
PRODUCTION is explanatory of the work:
"Stripping off the skin of the negro, the writer
proposes to demonstrate to the senses, well to
the reason, that he is not black white man,
man merely with black skin, but a different and
inferior species of man that this difference is radi
cal, and total and relatively great in the prmor
dial arrangement of elementary particles, or the sim
gle globue of blood, in the color of the skin,
the groSSer facts palpable the senses; that it is
original, invariable and indestructibe, long as
the present order of creation itself lassthat the
physical structure of the is necessarily and per-
petually linked with corresponding faculties, capa-
nature; and is thus designed by the Almighty Gre
ator for corresponding purposes, social position
harmonizing with those wants. de-; that therefore,
all the charges against the social system of the South
being based OH false assumptions, are themselves
necessarily false; that called slavery is neither
wrong" /" evil is it's extension danger
Gus, but that it is normal condition, natural re-
lation, based upon the "higher law in harmony
with the order, progress and general wel-being of
the superior and absolutely essential to the very
existence of the inferior race"
Doctor Cartwright celebrated physician of New
Orleans, who has spent years studying negro dseas
and examining their anatomical structure, SAYS
this work:
IF it circulated extensively in the North it
could not fail to quiet the Northern mind on the SUBJ
ject of Southern negro slavery. Van Evrie proves
that it is mo slavery at all, in the European
OF the term, but the natural relation of the races
the mere adaptation of natural law, no more to be
warred with than any other natural condition or
cia convenience, springing from the wants and ne
cessities of human existence If our people would
read Van Evries work. his Introductory
chapter, they would wonder that the free negroes in
the British colony of Sierra Leone selling their
children to the negro savages of the interior to buy
fresh beef but would learn that it is only natural
consequence of negro freedom and that it is in the
nature of the negro to into barbaranism when
released from the supervisory care of the white
man. The negroes of Sierra Leone had plenty of
land, liberty, and money to up for themselves,
given to them by the British; yet, after seventy
years, the experiment of making them happy, in
dustrious people has utterly failed"
Every citizen who feels the least interest in the
destiny of his country the welfare of twenty mil
lions of his own people and race, should read this
book. 1t so completely upsets every abolition argu-
ment, and shows the whole foundation work of the
superstructures false and wicked, that the simplest
mind is convinced at of the facts and errors in
the whole question.
