preaching up crusade against the South are Of necessity
ignorant Of every phase Of southern society," for starting
out with alsehood IL necessarily follows that all their
conclusions false but in their stupid and besotted de-
usons they say things and repeat things in n
gard TO which the community liable be led into de-
plorable errors
Thus when 1t is replied 10 them that their doctrO.
tend to end in amalgamaon Of whites aud negroes
they ward off the imputaon by declaring that slavery Or
the present condition of southern society still more OBJ
noxious this charge that il is "wel known that
large portion of the slave population is of mixed blood
that amalgamation is going rapidly that at no
distant day there will he negroes and they often quos

South
If this really So or if they really believed that
So why should they labor earnestly TO change Ina
status and to alter the relations OF the negro Such result
would end their great enterprise once for there are no
such monstrosities white slavespnot single in
stance or likely to be- and therefore, when negroes
have disappeared slavery has disappeared and their la
bors useless But there is amagamation the South
none whatever not single solitary instance Thai
which ignorance and delusion imagine or disor int,
amagamation its exact opposite and utterly externally
universally incompatible with such condition of things
Amaganlation means union absorption, combination Of
the social elements into final and homogeneous whole
The invasion and conquest of the Normans, aud their
final intermarrage and combination with the Saxonim
England, amagamation not of different spe-
cesfor that is physiological mpossbilitybut of vare
/ ties of the species
The Eruption of the Magyars into Europe in the ninth
century, their conquest Of the Huns and final amagam
with the latter into the modern Hungarians is another in
stance of amagamation. The rise of the 0ttomans or
Osman their conquest of ASIA their final appearancen
Europe and their extensive admxture with the Romans Of
the lower empire and especially their inermarrage with

blood with the choicest specimens Of the Caucasian stock
is another instance of amagamation and though the E
ropean Turks of time incapable of progress long
they cling Mahommedansm, they physically con-
sidered remarkably fine people.
| But ourselves the most extensive and the most
glorious example of amagamaon the world has seen
The people Of one State amagamae with those Of another
and receive from Europe, from Asia, Africa from all
the continents, and mngle blood with all the branches
and with every variety Of The descendants Of
the ancient Egyptian Hebrew, Persian Greek and Roman
we'll the modern Italian, Frenchman, Spaniard and
Brton here mingle their blood in reservoir and
constitute the amalgam homogeneous whole Of Amer
canism
This is amalgamaton--it is an amalgam Of portions
parts varieties of the original stock and physoog
caly considered is only possible to those belonging such
stock or species.
But there is another thing confounded with it which
though far from it light from darkness, the ignorant
and credulous often mistake for ii, and whee communities
/ are sometimes destroyed by II.
When the Spaniards conquered this continent unlike
our ancestors they brought females with them and
/ therefore sought wives as well concubnes among the
native population The result of this admixure of
separate species mot of varieties Of the p
cies) the generation of vast mass of mongresm
hybridism; or, termed by themselves, mestzos. The
white Spanards descended, and the Indian Next
can, native, after fashion, became elevated at any
rate, this mixed mongre element soon became powe-
full il not controlling, element all the Spanish yce-
alties With much Of the intelligence cultivation and 80
cal influence spread all the provinces often holding
high trusts under the Spanish governors scarcely affected
by caste yet deeply and universally sympathizing with the
native race this hybrid mixed population Mt last raised
the banner of revolt and led by dalgo Morilles Vic
toria Guadalupe &c. all with some native blood in their
veins enough the native population without
losing the inherent superiority of the Caucasian how
ever they at last after desperate struggle overthrow the
Spanish dominion and founded the socaed Spanish re-
publics 1t is great mystery to many why repnbicanism
fails in Mexico Central America, &c. Some say repubi-
canism is itself utopan; Others that "Anglo-Saxonsm
which, by the way is myth) can alone sustain repub-
cansm; while Others and perhaps the larger portion at
tribute it the priesthood and tho utter incompatbiy
of Catholicism and liberty. None Of these have really any
thing do with it. There white men, Indians, or
natives and there hybrds Now, these three different
instincts tendencies the precise extent Of differ
in their physical sirucuresaad left to govern them
selves Of pepetualy in conflict with each Other
Under the rule Of the Spanish governmentthe outside
pressure ofa desposmthey restrained and kept in
order but this removed each of these contradictory and
conflicting elements left their tendencies there can
be sentiment or harmony-nothng but an in
congruous drifting to social dissolution and final eI-
tinction
Nor is this remote The Spanish dominion overthrow,
Spanards emgratng these countries the supply
of white blood off, there more hybridsm generated
while that still existing and located mainly in the cities
grows less and less every day. thus time must come and
soon when the white blood will totally disappear
and with it, of course the ideas the ntal habtudes the
religion the language everything impressed on them by
the Spaniard and the native relapse into its original
condition, rs it was at the time of the conquest
This process-this admixtnre hybridism, mongeF
ISM decay, dissolution and final extinctions of course
still more rapid where whites and negroes involved
The negro much further removed us than the
Mexican or Indian aud thus the offspring Of whites and
blacks with lower degree Of vitality decay and disa
pear rapidly,
The muattoss and moagrels who backed by the British
feet and prompted BY British agents led the negroes
of San Domingo to cxteminac the whites have already
disappeared.

other mongrels, with less Caucasian blood and
