The negro skull won't hold as many ounces
OF shot as the white mans. Can there be a
more potent proof that the white man has g
right 10 sell and to own a creature who car

head2 He is pantigrade aud curved as to
the tibia. Cogent demonstration that be was
made expressly 10 work for the arch-footed,
straight iibia'd Caucasian. He has q ret

be cannot have a soul Of the same color as
that Of sn Italian or Spaniard, far less Of a
fllxen-haired Saxon? See these peculiari-

putt Can you doubt that the being with a
head Of that nature was made only to till,
hoe and dig for another race? Besides, the
Bible says he is son Of Ham, aud prcph-
ecy must be carried out In the rice Famps,
sugar-eanes and maize-felds of the South
ern Confederation. It's fat blasphemy to
set yourself against it. Our Saviour sane .
tions slavery because he does not say word
against il, and its very likely that St. Paul
was a slave-owner. Had cotton and sugar
been known, be might have been planter !
Besides, the negro is civilized by being car
ried away from Africa and set to work, in
stead of idling in native inutility. What
hope is there of Christianising the African
races except by the agency # the apostles
from New Orleans, Mobile, o, Charleston,
who sing the sweet songs of Zion with such
vehemence, and olsmor 50 isrvently iO7 hap

COMPARISON.
Mr.. Russell arrives in Chicago, in the great
and free West, and thus he describes his SEN
sations:
allow pleasant it was to see white faces in
the fields, to gaze on the waving corn, and
on the martial rows of wheat sheafs; to be-
hold the villages and the Christian spires
rising in the distance; to observe, as it were,
under ones eyes the growth OF civilized COM
munities; the village swelling into the town,
and the town grasping the dimensions of 3
city. And how wonderful has been the work
OF the rail; in a night it has spanned the in
terval between war and peace, between
swamp and harvest fields, between sedition
and coutentmtnt. Last night we travelled
through lines of outposts, ever danger
haunted BRIDGES, by camps where the soldiers
watched eagerly for their supply of bread,
and cheered Justify as it was delivered to
them from the train, for without its aid they
could get none. This morning Union flags
foated from the little stations. Corn is
abundant The vast plains are rich with
crops, or are ready to yield to the tilth. A
city worthy Of such name rises above the
waters of the sea-like lake whose waves roll
from the boundless horizon in crisping foam
on the smooth sandy beach. The pure clear
air inyigorates the frame weakened by tbs
warm, clammy breath of the South The
notes of the mocking bird are heard no more,
but the prairie hen gets up with q sharp
whirl from the roadside, and drops with her
brood into the deep, Towering clover; the
partridge calls from the stubble, and instead
of the foul turkey buzzard and his lazy
wheel sWoops The gray falcon over the broad
meadow in rapid curves"
