stitution, in intellect, and in moral re-

trasts upfayorably with any Of tho original
stocks"
These laws of nature, so clearly stated,
arc illustrated by the history of tho human
race, and arc rs applicable to tho negro as
to the Indian. Each race must be pre-
served distinct from the other, or soon dis
appear-the inferior from the face of the
earth, or tho superior from its position
among civilized men. No intermediate
race has ever continued long 10 exist but,
on the contrary, all such have soon disap-
pcarcd. Those whose blood is mixture of
the white man an the negro, instead of ris-
ing to the level of the former, have fallen
even below the latter, and will soon pass
away. Thoscprofesscd philanthropists who
propose to elevate the negro to the position
of the whites, by comrningling blood by
intermarriases, will find the result of the
experiment written il the history of the
past.
Those who counsel and advise a collision
between the races are no true friends Of
either. They have either not reflected
upon or care not for the horrors Which
woud ensue. If they consult history, or
apply reason, the result cannot be doubted.
The inferior race must be the principal suf-
ferers, and, in the end, be exterminated.-
The theories of the Black Republicans and
Abolitionists all tend to one of these con-
clusions. They would amalgamate the ra-
ces and reduce tho whites to the level of
the negro, or SO shape things as 10 produce
a servile war to destroy one of them, which
no sane man can doubt. Those who will
lingly contribute to such revolving and mon
strous results are no real friends to their
race. They would sacrifice both, and our
priceless Union, in their struggles for polit-
ical power and official position. Let the
true friends Of both races and of our insti-
tutions reflect upon the suhjccs, and so act
as to secure results which Heaven and all
mankind must approve. = = Washington

Baya'sl Taylor aciM the Finnish Girls.
--Bayard Taylor has some novel adven-
lures in his Northern European tour, and
meets with strange customs and curiositics.
In his last letter lie tells us about stopping
couple of nights with very friendly old
Finnish lady, where lie got a. bed with
sheets. The first night the mother and her
sons were SO amazed to see him undress be-
fore retiring, that they were curiosity bound
and did not leave their standpoint in the
room until he was snugly covered up. The
revelation Of what they had: seen, to other
members of the family, produced most
wonde Il audience the second night. On
this occasion lie writes: r.
"Yhrec bux.m daughters, of age, ranging
from sixteen to twenty-five, appeared about
the time for retiring, and stationed them
selves in row near tho door, where they
watched us with silent curiosity. AS we had
oho"H ho heoittAttoA III tuo uISL CASE, we uC-
termined to be equally courageous now,
and commenced" removing our garments
with deliberation, allowing them to fully
inspect them. The work thus proceeded in
mutual silence until we were nearly ready
for repose, when by pulling off stocking
and displaying the muscular. calf, suddenly
alarmed the youngest, who dartcd to the
door and rushed out. The second caught
the panic and followed, and the third and
oldest was obliged to do likewise, though
with evident reluctance. The perfect COM
posure of the girls, and the steadiness with
which they watched us, showed that they
were quite unconscious Of having commit
ted any imrropriety."
