The Sa5ordiRatiOn Of Inyeriority.


In No ], l treated briefly OF the good con,
ditiOn ofthe slaves OF the South, as compared
with the Southern whites, and with the free
blacks cfthe United States and showed by the
irrefragable argument oil comparative increase
by propagation that the slaves are the best off,
among the three classes referred to! They are
the best of, by being guaranteed subsistence,
and being Tree from the cares, anx'eties and re
sponsibilities of The other two classes. 1t might
hav been further shown that blacks are not as
well calculated 10 bear we'll those anxieties,
cares. &c, necessary for the maintenance oi
families by the same statistical increase of free
blacks, which falls far short ofthat ofthe South
ern whites, and immensely short of the pro-
portional increase of slaves! 1t is beyond all
question from these facts that SLAVERY
you please to call it so, is most congenal with
the State oiAfrican development in this coun-
! try.
When we, people Of the United States, talk
as much as we do in favor of progress, it is per.
ect nonsense in any of us, to dispute the in
|
generations removed from the most bloody and
savage life OF Africa, the marvel is that they
have been so rapidly developed towards eeva
ted civilization and christianity! Nothing but
State OF sevituds in some sort compelling bar
barous nature to yield obedience to superiors,
could ever have developed them half SO fast
Just look at their condition, not with either The
eye Of pro-savary or antis slavery but with the
eye of true philanthropy and you will see that
in development they three times exceed US tie
bnasted heads of human kind! We boast o
long lives, OF highly developed ancestry, and
where are we now, wi h every nel0s p'pars rec
king with the blood and butchery of war. mur.
ber, rapine and death by every form of mur-
derouS violence! say where are we compared
with the slaves?
And where are the free blacks both North
and South, with their poor horses, shabby cows,
no sheep, starved dogs, and suffering children!
They a.e living monuments OF the truth oil our
census returns that show them far behind the
slaves in condition.! There are exceptions among
them, bnt he is just as unwise who deals entire
ly in exceptional development, as he or she who
deals entirely on exceptional abuse of slaves!
But. for the fanatic and biggot, exceptions and
false statements is their holy food. and it might
seem to be pitiable to rob the poor ounces of
these their only staff and stay.
For the real good Of the blacks, the Lord ev.
identity designs that thai check to forward ma

shall not yet terminate even if the destruction
Of our boasted government and its miScalled
freedom, shall be the sacrifice necessary to its
preservation! There is no slavery equal to the
servitude fish, and we have enough of this in
the United States to condemn as to freedom,
any government on the face of the earth
| 1t is astonishing that in our boasted wisdom,
when men and nations both pass from imbecile
infancy to old age, through power ful manhood
that it should be thought degrading the blacks
to call them an inferior race! Infants and
children, in points Of development, are Inferior
to men and women, and all good sense teaches
the propriety of their being in serving obedience
to those above them in years and condition Of
development. No sensible person dub but
this obedience is better for them. Then why
repudiate the service OF the black race? Is it
because they have black skin, while th't Of
our children is white, that they think blacks
ought not to be subordinate? Or does any one
in &c al fan II to
say that the bllckS, as rare, only three or
four generations removed from savage life, are
elual to, or above the whites in develop nent
fifty generations removel fr)m btrbarty? BY
Inferior wiU always se~Oes the sparjor, and IA
natcism that says nay, can't helpit!
