This is pleasing state Of things to witness
thus early in the great action Of 1860 In sup
port, however, of his gloomy prognostcs, the light
of the st. Louis l.. p. A. quotes the following
well known authors:
BENZ. FRANKLIN, LEO AYRIcAsUs,
HERoDoTUs, HEGkL,
TIKI KING OF DAHoNEY, Az ENGLISH TRAVELLER,
HERDER, CHRISTOPHER NORTH
ZESO, ORPHEUS,
OLDFIELD, PRTTcHARD,
RprscIOTTr LUDLORY,
GEs. GEORGE WAsHIScT0s.
He also cites IA he has right to do, the po-
cts. He tells US, for instance, to remember that
trades proud empire hastes to swift decay, as
ocean sweeps the labored mole away; whilst
+" selfdependent power can time DEFY; as rocks
" resist the pillows OF tho sky"-which, taken as
stotement of a simple commercial fact, we are not
disposed to deny.
Tn his gallant attack upon the Republican party,
Mr.. #. w. Hoyt, s. l.. L. p. s., adduces the fol-
lowing facts:
!. Hanno of Carthage, after exploring Africa,
brought back cargo of ourang-Outangs (stnnia
troplodytes), which be supposed to be men and
women.
g In Ashantee, when war is determined on,
tho bones of the Kings mother-pOOr old lady
are layed with blood
g. In Dahomey when the King dies, all his
widows-exactly 3,333-are massacred-the dear,
devoted old dowagers
a. Iagas, of the Kingdom of Congo, takes pleas
ure in eating young women The beast! has
young woman killed every day for bis private and
personal tooth
5. In Congo, the women, after tight, eat the
brains of the slain, tearm
All these facts Mr. Hoyt thinks should result
in the defeat of the candidate OF the Chicago Con-
yentiOn Perhaps they will.
The increase of the Republican party, Mr.. Holt
attributes TO this fact: "The ideal element so
predominates, in consequence Of over or false
culture, by the reading of spurious literature"
but we are sorry to say that on the question OF the
relative Constitutional Influences Of the Two Great
Dictionaries he does not say word, although, as
we can tell him. he would have found several cases
quite to the point in Leo Afrcanus. His remedies
for the present pitiful state of the American Mind
are: /. Control the Imagination 2. Discard the
Ideal! 3. Hold the Ideal-aiter being discarded
in its sphere 4. Adopt the Real 3. Exercise
Right Reason!
Mr.. Holt is very fierce opponent of Colonial
ton, partly and principally because of the cost OF
purchase and transportation, which he reck0ns az
the bewdering sum of $6,66s, C0O,OOO This is
his first objection His second is that if the slaves
were asked to go, "their faces would kindle with
90 he heterogeneous blush of conscious degrada-
81 ton" We do not know upon which argument
Mr.. Holt relies most confidently, but considering
the difficulty in blushng experienced by many of
Mr.. Hoit's blacklist barbarians, we think he had
better stick by his Arabic numerals in preference
to his African individuals.
One of Mr.. Hot's arguments in favor of Slavery
is headed, The Debt of the Barbarian" l. e. if
the African should become civilized, he would still
owe big bill to his ciyiizers-a bill so big, in
fact that it would amount to an eternal debt of
gratitude-not to be hoed out, not to be whipped
out not to be lived out, not to be discharged by
his descendants, but to remain upon the account
books of his civilization through all time. This, it
seems to us, would be paying pretty dearly for this
whistle of civilization; and if it not for the
name of the thing, this poor negro might as well
remain barbarian. Moreover tenderly consider
ing this fact and not wishing the negro to run up
a bill which he never can pay Mr. Holt has
another paragraph headed, " The Right of the
" African to Remain Slave" Emancipation to
him would be =" a heinous wrong;" and We expect
soon to hear of Associations of Slaves formed ex-
pressly to prevent their masters from indulging in
The hOrrid cruelties OF manumssOn.
But we must finish our notice of this remarkable
book, by quoting the following pOrtentous query:
1.-THE ponderous globes obey the mandate of
spiritual superiority; andshall the order ofnature
'be reversed here, and the animal species lord it
" over man Z" We don't know. Considering the
fact of this pamphlet, we should say that the asses
were rather looking up but we cannot speak for
the other animals.
