eyer prevent two races 80 far u,ntL as tho Afri.
ran negro and the white mnn, living together Oh !
terms Of equality. Tho teachings Of history viii
again acrveus 10 reach tho final result The social
condition Of New York is tending fast to degrade
large portion Of her citizens Of the same
men who nrc naturally equals. This being the
cuse. We can har'lly suppose much will be done
to elevate un inferior and naturally degraded
race, to the standard Of equality. Should they
oven attempt it, failuro will be tho end. What
nature makes unequal not all the genius fanati-
cisn,, educational efforts, aided by every figure Of
thought, can make equal To this fanutiuai scheme
wcsay it is fraught with little evil Influence OH
the Southern slnveholder he can calmly look
this movement in the face, without fear of harm
from its workings. The "higher law" doctrines
crnana,ing from the pulpit, are fruught with
danger of an Important magnitude-importan
from tho fact that the fullacy claims the rcveal-
cd word of God for its support. Well meaning
and good men may be cheated by this revelation
dressed fraud. Even iE the South. reason may be
dinmcd by these fulsc interpretations of the re-
vealed word Of God. Truth, when fasey an.
piled, is equally dangerous with falselood, and
even false facts arc more misclievous than false
should not be lightly looked upon. The preach.
or las hold upon his hearers that no other speak
CT has, and should he SO far forget his high and
holy calling, and lend his powers of mind and po-
sitlon to the PRONUNCIATION of any of the MANY
isms of the day, matter how absurd, or frau
dulon in lis effects, it will be taken for truth bv
the minimizing many and this is against the
STAKEHOLDER when the iavoritc ism is abolition
ism. But here the STAKEHOLDER has n stand point:
for nature and revelation, originated from the
same Almighty, intelligent Unit, and harmoni-
onsly meet each other in truthful integrity, and
will stand the same in nl time, 10 matter how
man may labor to mlsintcrpret the records of
citfer. Nature and revelation will vindicatc and
make permanent their own truths, in mockery of
mans fraudulent, OF mistaken purposes In our
own country, there has been good and great men
who have been dcluded by this race unity ques.
ton, who have logged and flountered in the
darkness OF the fnr-gone night of time losing
sight OF creation us it stands in we'll ma rLcd char
aeteristics before the senses, and have essayed To
enter the arcana Of nature, and unfold the Sc.
! crcts Of Jehovah in original creation. A yn;u
glorious selfishLess has often thrown its misty

cd the dclusion the mind. This often results
from mIsntcrrreation Of the sacred text or a
preludiced and sl,ortsighted reading Of the Book
OF Nature All things arc apparently against
the Southern STAKEHOLDER, but it is only apparent:
Tor, ii the result of creation is u fixed reality un
der laws Of specialization and permauencv.
then is nature trustworthy. and will stand on its
integrity through all timc until the Almighty
shall will the change. Then these mistaken and
fraudulent emanations from the pulpit, the selfish
ravIngs OF politicians, and the blind fanatcism of
ignorant abolitionism, will only act as balancing
and mrcnsatng principles OF the South to check
ITS arrogance and wrong doing and as such should
the Southern man look at the matter and profit
by The teachings, guarding well his own country
home and Interests, under rules of eternal Justice
ahi tenderness for the weakness OF wickcdness
vi Ills fellow men, who opposed to him. These
misclicv"us mcddlings will, mo doubt, result par
tial evils, just in ratio of the watchful caro- and
intelligence of tho people where carelcssness, i'm
morality and wrong government dominate. The
nlisehlevous influences will have more potency:
ont where the movements Of the enemy are duly
watched and cautiously guarded, little harm need
te apprchended On the contrary, humanities
Will 6e better understood and practced: the re-
'a'ioh the Two races bear to each other will be
closely examined aud good to both will be the
result The physical. mental and moral consti-
tuition of each, though 90 different, will harmo.
nlousy serve each other, and both NAV euiov
happiness in proportion to obedience to tho laws
OF their different constitutions. The difference
Is liked in nature, dependent on no educational,
OF external influences and are defiant of inter.
meddi'ngs by fraud or fanatcism, upon the in
trgrty OF nature. The stakeholder may sa fely rest
and leave his claims TO rule the inferiorly con-
stituted negro upon her laws. This natural diff.
terence is no plea for cruelty or wrong; on the
contrary, it should ever excite the tender care of
the superior, towards the weaker race.
we will next notice what is against and for
the Southern stakeholder: On his industrial cner
gies in tho production of the great staple-cot-
ION, 10 production of man has ever had such a
Worldwide range Of influences, as this testile
fiore, called cotton. EOwonder it should produce
such deep interest in the inlabitantsiof the cl-
der continent to work out the nature of its pro-
duclion, and the possibility of extending to other
cli'nes, this almost vegetable monarch of the
world. On examination of the productions of
different portions of the world, we find cotton is
produced in Africa and India, cultivated with
some success in Egypt Algeria, in Islands of the
Indian Ocean, in parts Of China, Persia, Asia
Minor, and Islands of the Mediterranean, and,
also, in some of the Southern portions of Europe.
The genius Of England. and Franco has been, of
late, actively employed in working out the sue
cessu cntiyation of this import ant staple in all
their colonial possessions CIimatology has been
studied With the most anxious care science has
been bus. to comprehend every influence that
modifies the growth and produetvepess of the
cotton plant The cotton regoil embraces q bolt
round tho earth about FIVE Thousand miles wide, 1
but even within this belt, there afe fourfifts of
the area, either water, or mountain and desert,
that will not produce it at ALL. Ths of ITSELF
makes pfodpctionfvery doubtful. The thing
of over-production occupied the minds of men
for some time, but the matter, as proven bv time
