Be sconttinued by the great mass Of %intelll-

EVIDENCE to the same effect this morning
The following remarkable extract we take
| from the Cincinnati Commercial, which was a
Fremont Journal in 1866, Read it,
1t is, we do not doubt an opinion honestly
entertained by many. that the negroes Of the
iSoutAerr States differ from the whites only
III the degree Of their cisiiiza ion and that
nothing is wanting but emancipation and ed,s-
cation to elevate them TO ~sHcla-a- state Of M
teltectuat ana moral equality, as to entltie
Remainder the rule that all men are Gre
ated eafiaI-to share III the duties and priv1-
Eeges of government; and from this IS, de-
dueed the idea OF the obligatiHn4on the part
Of the Angto-saxon people Of the un,tea
States, to eulancipals and educate their Atri-
can bretheren as they are called and OF the
great wrong shat IS committed against them,
when such emancipation end education are
delayed, Or altogether neglected. Now, how
ever IotfCSki4 sHEU SI3HibtS i!af Aa'C S%Gti
entertained, they are DOUBT MOOR
RECT.
Referring to some statistics, it continues :
If we are Of sufficient capacity to Judge,
they show most conciusipa'y that the abe
Iltlol Of slavery and the elevation Of the
blacks Of the South to a condition Of civil
equality with their masters, weufd be follow
I'd by consequences anything but desirable to
themselves, and most disastrous to the other
party-rhat being incapable of republican
setf-governnlens, it : is impossible foF them to
become, la & political Sense, q desirable part
OF a republican seit-gevefulng people that
being as much wanting III a capacity Tor spnn-
taueous~ industry as IL a capacity ipr SELL
government, the Juxtaposltlon u the two
RACES renders the serv.tude OF the one. or the
expulsion Of the other Il matter OF absolute
necessIty-that, In short, the presence Of d
numerous black population IN a community
at whites is Inconsistent with the safety OF
either race, except upon the terms that the
former hold to the latter the relation Of ,sro-
paFty.
These are in substance Identical with The
sentiments recently put forth in the Canadian
Parliament by a member who resides among
the fugitive slaves there who have escaped
from the South. They tally pretty well also
with the sentiments We have recent yqnoted
from, the Vermont Patriot. Is there any
body SD hopelessly denlented. 50 very al idiot,
as to be Incapable Of seeing that these evil
tienCes which we aaduce,. and which are
wholly beyond contradiction, show that a
gradual change is taking place in the North
ON the negro question: The extract from
the Cincinnati Commercial Is dianietrically
opposed to the fundamental principle OF the
Fremont platform.
