Before leave this section Of my argunsnt, o.
permit me to say that consider the chronology
of the present version of the Bible Incorrect,
and Archbishop Usher having followed is, con-
sequently our present vulgar chronology Of the
schools is also incorrect. II is well known to q
the literary world that Ptolemy Philadelphus,
King OF Egypt prevailed with the High Priest
at Jerusalem to send him correct copy Of The
Hebrew Scriptures, and also seventy Of the most
talented linguists In the Hebrew and Greek Ian
guages, for the purpose of its translation. They q
arrived at Alexandria, in Egypt, with perfect ss
copy Of the same, and were shut up In palace D.
In the Isle of Pharos. After considerable
time the translation was completed, and many
copies were permitted to be taken from IL for
the Alexandran and other Jewish communities. ,qas
This was the famed "septuagint" When we a
compare our present Hebrew copies, our Eng.
lish version, the Septuagint, and Josephus chron O.
ology, the following is the result: rssE

Its very evident that the Jewish seribes, af. 10
ter the period of the Septuagint, and after the
destruction Of jerusalem, did not pay much at.
tention to copying chronological statements;
and consequently, had made mistakes Of I,943 80
years. How tmany mistakes they had made
previous to that era we are not informed. One
proof will give of the Rabbinical mistakes In ed
chronology. Fromthe destruction Of Jerusalem
by Nebuchadnezzar, to the second destruction By
Titus Vespasian, they make IL only four hun. q d

including Josephus, do not make It less than six %

Having recapitulated the points Of yes-

had produced, not only from the Bible, but also
from ethnol ogical investigations, proving that
the negro is not descendant from the race of aA
Adam; and from many circumstances which be-
have and can be brought to bear on the subject, o.
we shall find ourselves approaching the conclusqis

than the negro; consequently, he is the being
who was the original cause Of sin, misery and q
death in this world. And now, Mr.. Speaker.

to bring misery among us, civil war, rapine. ~
