is incapable Of any aspirations Tor freedom, and'
therefore, incapable Of plots and insurrect'ons.
TIL, Ere, Trade, contends that Instructions are
impossible on the very ground and the oniy groand
on which negro slavery is justihable. III IL were
not mental, moral and physical imposslelnty 'o'
the slaves to rebel, they could not rghtfuly De
held in slavery. But the argument Of The Free
Trader is too curious not to be given at length;
Revolutions are the results of sn sppreciston-a
faint ar pdi,tnct appreciation, II may be, but SUI IN
apprecistion- Of Liberty, and yesrnng aiter Free
dom When these feelings iahabt tie soul OF ga en-
slayed PEOPLE they viii ever be on the alert, Watching
and prsype for snopportunity to burst ssunder the
chains that bind them in bondage, and take their posi-
ton in the Pantheon Of Nations as tree and inde
pendent people. We believe, 100 tns tne oaa ss.an
because they are entitled 10 their freedom; and tnat
sooner or later they will strike every she'e Tor thst
equality with which God endo we'd them but which man
has taken from u en-
{" Rnt with the negro il is different. By nssure In
capable of self government they are by nsture inca
pable of having such aspirations and these separations
this spprec alton Of Liberty-this yeartins ster
Freedom-this dreaming of equalty-sre abs hutey
necessary 10 incite TO revolutionary action, or 70 In
spire disposition TO be free. The negro we repeat
has po,hipg of this or these The Supreme Being 10
His omnipotent wisdom so constituted me atelectas
and physical organism Of the blsck man that, while
He disqualified him for epoyin ing and approaching Lao
erty and sefgovernment, He also failed to endow MN
with thoee feelings and those aspirations tnat would
lead him to make SD effort 70 obtain temporary nee-
Som. This is fact that Should be studied; It Is
fact based upon and sustained by all history rs
fact too that proves beyond all doubt that the Wnte
man and the negro are distinct races-one the gu
pc rior to govern-the other the inferior to be gov
erped. The negro is instnctively submissive and
obediert. They look to the white man to direct and
control; they would be lost without this their labor
would be useless without ia mighty machine ca
pable of producing good, and yet worthless becsuse It
tss no propelrg power. The brain OF the white IN IN
and the strong arm and physical endurance OF the
negro BLENDED are necessary 20 oeautliy tue parsdes
of God on earth. And in His wise economy He has
so rianed it, and the wild rawlings of fanatics cannot
alter or change the unatersble decree
This argument of The Free Trader, allowing the
premises upon which it rests, might obviously be
pursued good deal further. 1t ought to secure
the eternal quiet Of the South. 1t shows the slave
holders to be just safe against Abolition ag
as sganst slave nsurrestion, aud that al the talk
and movements and alarm at the South on both
these topics are alike "pOodle-doodle stuff But
though our Southern brethren are perfectly ready
to concede the premises of The Free Trader as
VI Cidfclf, '"a'h Az 'HNNA wv"
not seem to be very strong as buwark against
either instruction or abOl ton.
The comments of the Southern journals afford
some curious instar Of disposition on the part
both of those that believe in the insurrection aud
those that do not to saddle the whole blame of the
affair on people from the North. Thus The Mem
phis E0gLe, not content with enumerstng among
the causes of negro insubordnstion "incendary |
Vaccinations of proving Aboiionists, mentions
also, as an additional and even more influential
cause, "the great and unprecedented fimiliirite'
allowed to negroes by shareholders Of Northern
land foreign birth" This certainly is something
new. The old story used to be what hard masters
the Yankees were, aud how much less indulgent
than those Of Southern birth. On the other hand,
The Savannah Ne,es, denying any reality TO the plot
yet charges al the alarm about it to Abolition
"emissaries in our midst, making use of the tele-
"graph to disseminate through the country exciting
'rumors of negro instruction, their object evil
IDENTITY being to stimulate the popular fanaticsm
'of the NORTH
