THE END OF ABOLTTION.,


THE END OF ABOLWON:
If the veil were lifted and abolitionisss permitted
to see the resutsthe final end Of this hideeus ens
terprize,' there is not mot single man, woman
or even free negro that would not start back IN
horror and dismay from the frightful consequences
which now, in their blind wickedness and ignorant
infatuation they are SO earnestly laboring for.
We have been permitted to look over the memoir
anda and notes of gentleman who has been engag-
ed several years in investigating this subject, and
which are now ready for publication, and for the
benefit of readers give the results or the lead
ing results thus arrived at.
1st-A white man married to, or cohabiting
with q negress there will be fewer children than
with the unmixed flood.
2nd-Ths offspring intermarrying with other
hybrids will have still few children.
Sd This offspring intcrminglng with hybrids or
muattoes of the same degree, or remove, will ex-
hibit still lower degree Of vitality.
4th-Mulattos of the third generation are exceed
ingly fragile and rarely reach maturity.
6th-The fourth generation of the mixed blood
are positively incapable of reproducing themselves
as the mule as any of the animal hybrids are IN
the single generation.
These general conclusions are derived from a vast
number of facts, and they are confirmed by the OBJ
servation of every man living in localities where this
mixed material is found and ndeel by the whole his.
tory of the past, for such thing as new race or
community springing, from two different races,
never has, as it never will be seen.
Pritchard and other European writers, with no
practical knowledge of any race except their own,
set out collect facts confirm their theory that
Mongols, Maays Indians, negroes &C., were all eau
casians white men-that is no matter what their
external appearances that they all had the same
faculties and the nature the 200 millions OF
Europe
The great point relied on to prove the unity or
oneness of all these diverse beings the viriity

offspring as test of speces-thus the mule is ste
riletherefore the horse and ass are different species
But they found the mulatto begat offspring there
fore, the white and negro, they said constituted
single species.
It is strange, indeed, and absolutely discredtable
to the scientific men of America, that this absurd
conclusion, rather that this absurd assumption
has not been exploded. A single moments refec-
ton is sufficient to show its unsoundness, even to
non scientific person, or any one ignorant of the
facts involved, yet the whole European scientific
world has hitherto accepted it as basis or starting
point for all their reasonngs on this subject and i'm
posed it on ourselvesl White men and negroes are
human beings horses and asses are animal beings,
therefore the inductons of Pritchard necessarily
false. But he was equally false in his .ttcts or as
sumed Facts The muatto is positively sterile as
the mule, but being human, while the mule is mere
y ANIMAL this sterlity, of course, manifests itself
in widely different manner.
The mulatto, with constantly diminishing vitality,
reaches its limits in the fourth generation, beyond
which is as impossible to reproduce itself it is
to the former to pass beyond the single generation.
The rule or test of naturasts is as reliable in
case as the other when all the facts presented,
and in their proper order; thus the mule, animal
limited to a single generation cannot reproduce it.
SELF therefore horses and different species
thus too the mulatto human being limited to
four generations cannot reproduce ITSELF therefore
whites and negroes arc different species.
Hybrdity varies, of course no, merely in regard
to men and animals but among the latter yet on
this wretched assumption that the mule and mulatto
must manifest must be tested by precisely the
same formula has rested and still rests the whole
European dogma of single race, and the consequent
conclusion that the social system Of half of the
States of this Union is monstrous outrage on rea-
son and humanity.
We have only to apply these physiological data or
we have only to contemplate the doctrines of aboli
tionsm in the light of these tacts to where it
would end. The abolitionists, accepting the Euro
pean assumption of single race, demand that the
three millions of negroes be Immediately declared
Free and placed legal anG political level
with the twenty millions of whites. If this were
done it would be followed of course. sooner later
by admixture of blood-these negroes would disap-
pear, there would be only mul attoes-then mongres,
and finally with the diminishing vitality of the mon
grel element, time would come when every drop
particle of negro blood would utterly disappear
as if there had never been negro on this continent
And here is where these 'Amis des nOirs would end
their hideous philanthropy impous humanity
in the death-the utter extinction of their pro-
tcges.
But this humiliation Of the negro. repulsive it
