In the above brief Binogroph the alb
surdity of making distinction between
species and permanent roricy is demonstra-
ted
The quo modo of the origin Of species,
on whatever hypothesis based, true or
false, reasonable or unreasonable, cannot
| affect the actual existence of any so-called
genus, species or variety.
Drs. Denny and Forwood have made SO
clear statement Of the above truth as to
convert it into an axiom-or proposition
so self-evident at first sight, on seeing it
naked and stripped Of extrancous surround
lngs, as to require no process of reasoning
OF demonstration to make it palmer
If the American people had been put
slntQa aGsse essiQh Of the axiom anuSunced' by
Drs. Jenny and Norwood, they would have
used it to keep fanaticism from entern~
the church and state on the back of the
Negro question, and saved both from dis
ruption. Even yet if they will evail
themselves of the axiom that no theory oe
the origin of what is called a genus, spe-
cles, or variety can affect the actual exis-
tence CT such genus, species, or variety,
they can drive Fanatcism out of the
Churches, and out of the field of politics
as far as the disturbing negro question is
concerned. Fanaticism entered the church.
es and the political arena on the back of
theory of the origin of mankind which pre-
supposed that the Negro was a white man.
The above axiom has only to be called into
service to break the back Of the theory
that negro Fanaticism rides.
In the light of that axiom every one
would see that if the negro had ever been
white man, in times past, he was not a
white man now; and that no theory of
origin, true or false, can possibly affect
the actual existence of the families of
mankind on earth. That form of Fanatic
ism, called appropriately British Abolition
ism, ignores the existence of black men
or negroes. There is not a negro in the
world according to British monarchists and
many American traitors because they are
riding theory SO far off, and so high up,
that none of the followers of their theory Of
mans origin from single pair, can see
the differences that exist among mankind
at present inhabtipg the surface of the
earth Adam and Eve, and the Declare
ton of Independence, prevent those who
are unacquainted with negroes, from per-
sonal observation, from believing in the
existence Of such people. They dare
not believe In their existence lest they fall.
SHY Scripture; as they understand it, and
fly IN the face of the principles at the
foundation of American liberty They
could accept both and still accept the facts
OF the existence of Negroes, Indians, Clip
sizes, and other species of humanity if
they stood in the light of the AROMA
TIC truth that the theory of the origin of
species could not wipe out the actual exist
ing diversitics in the human family, re-
cognlzed by naturalists under terms CLASH
tying them in groups distinguishable one
from another. The term species is the
best to distinguish the different groups
from one another The term permanent
variety, if it means anything, means spe-
cies, and cannot affect the facts at the
bottom ofsthe classification of the Natural
Historian
The black skin, the kinky, wooly hair,
the rank odor, the thick lips, fiat nose.
bent knees, and hopper hips ofthe Guinea
Congo Negro, are some of the existing.
selfeyident facts which the naturalist looks
at in classifying that people as distinct
species from the white man of Europe and
America: When the white man Thomas

and equal, the declaration would have
