ScCnd IN the SOclal Scale JuSG as MS INDUSTRY,
talents or moral worth may be estimated by
his fellows.
Throughout the broad domain of anma-
ted being eachs pccies hasits specific uses; its
purpose, its design, and in the more cleva-
ted-the human creation-its mission, writ
ten in its structure by the finger of the AL
mighty, and in language too legible to be
mistaken moment. Our experience, our
common sense, our reason as well as our in
stincts, impel us to treat woman as woman,
having with different organism different
wants, tendencies, in short, different ma
turc, which for her happiness as we'll as our
own must be recognized and must be acted
on in order to preserve the moral health, in
deed the physical health Of society. So, too,
in respect to childhood--to force the infant
to live out the life of the half grown, or the
latter to act as if they had the capacities of
the adult, would not only be wrong, sinful,
impious, but absurd and utterly destructive
of social order, indeed, Of very social ezis'
tence. So, too, in respect to the inferior
crcation-our domestic animals-each spe-
cies has its own specific nature, specific
wants, specific purposes, and its we'll being
as well as our own demand that they be
treated accordingly. The natural relation
existing between individuals of the species
is equality, sameness--for though in oul
own race we see great variations, these arc
all the result of accident, of chance, OF
innumcmble contrivances, and which in Eu'
rope actually transforms the only inferior
element of the population (royalty) into this
bogus, bastard or accidental superiority.
Now, were we to violate this great founda.
ton law that undcrlies our institutions, oul
social as well as our political edifce, were
we to force men and women and chill dren
or try to force them to vote, to have voice
in the government Of society-to manifest
equal car sites, to fulfil common duties
where would this end, this monstrous social
contradiction and absurdity terminate 2
Why, of course in the total destruction o
the commuuity-the universal debauchment
of all that is trne or good ; for the natural
relation thus lost sight Of there would fol
low and only could follow, social chaos
We have now nearly four millions ofnesroe:
in our midst, and who must soon be ten ol
twenty millions. These negroes, except {
mere handful whom imposture or misguided
philanthropy has transformed into socia
outcasts, are now in natural positiou-i
normal condition, their true relation to tht
superior white man. " they were not here
another inquiry might be presented; bu
they arc, and always must remain here ant
are destined to rapidly multiply here, an(
these are the things we must reason on
These negroes do not rory from us-ther'
is no variation in white and black-they ART
spccialites, and this same speciality per
vades the entire being, as wide apart in sin
gle hair or primordial atom, as in the colo
of the skin; in short, this negro is widely
different and vastly inferior species, and TIT
existing relation, however defective in par
ticulars, is natural relation which spring
spontaneously from the necessities of human
existence. \ single fact is sufficient to de
mohstratc beyond doubt, Or even the Hfiecta
ton OF doubt, the perfect truth Of this asser
ton. In all human experience there is nj
instance where white men have propagatet
then selves, or in other words, lived when il
this condition, and on the contrary, no sin
glc instance where negroes have propagate(
when out of this condition, or when thrus
into the position Of white men, or so calle,
freedom.
Now, nothing is palmer or less mistaka
bic than that the pcrvcrson of this relation
tile violation of this natural law of white
supremacy and negro subordination, mus
dcmoralize and destroy society, must debaucl
and corrupt it a thousand times over more
hopclcssly than even that following a per
version of the true relations of the sexes
children, &c. Or in other words, the exttin!
relations of the races-of thetwcnty millon
of white men and three millions of negrne
is the basis, the corner stone of our repub
lican cdifcc, which supports the whole fab
ric Of our civilization, and which, if pcrvcr
ted, and these twenty millions OF Whit
citizens degraded to a legal Or forced lcve
with these subordinate negroes, then, 0
course, that natural equality among whit
men which constitutes American democrac,
must be corrupted and lost sig Int of, and ou
whole system sink into utter ruin and desc
lation. True, the North, with no negrcc
among them, may escape this distraction
but will they? Democrats must remembe
that they got their democracy from the South
that it was the Jeffersons and Madisons VIII
first promulgated aud established its glori
Gus truths, and in spite of the efforts of tn
Hanliltuus and Adams of the North, that i
was the Calhouns and Jacksons who sustain
cd and defended these t. 'uths-that even ii
1910, when nearly the whole North lay pros
trate at the feet Of 4 paper aristocracy, Gv
Southern States were found faithful to th
cause of democratic equality; in short Nor
thcrn Democrats should know, that if "sla
very" were ovcrthrown, the Grecleys AM
Stewards and Weeds and Tom Corwins woulC
be able to accomplish the object for whicl
their party has labored for halfa century,
to impose upon them bogus or bastard Re
publcanism, which, except in name, is ltt
if any better than monarchy itself.
Finally, ifanything more were needed t.
