The African Problem.
The old proverb says:


Our great domestic institution has one
Of it's strongest bases grounded upon
this recognized principle Of divine law
In fact, our system Of slavery is not
lust or right, if it puts the negro in a
lower field of action than he was clea.I
ted to occupy, in the order of nature.
If the white man was designed to be
servant to the black, then we have up
get the whole order of Providence from
the earliest records Of time. Or if the
black man was intended to be equal to
the white; or if he'was not formed to DO
servant and the white man to be mas.
ter, then have we, in all ages, gricved
heaven with our presumption, our usur-
patton, and our cruelty to the negro
race.
Now, of all the absurd theories which
nave been put forward in explanation
Of the proper status Of the respective
colors of human kind, we think the
most self.ovidently false, is the one adj
vanced by northern abolitionists, claim
ing that black and white are equals. As
we'll might VIC, upon the appearance of
things, pronounce darkness the equal OF
light. As we'll declare tho bat and night
birds the equals Of the s%un-gazing eagle
and golden plumaged birds of day
The one emblamialize the darkness and
the other light. So also is it Nth ne
groos and whites.
They are not equal. Taking itf3r
Granted that we are all settled upon
this point-what next? or course one
must be inferior and the other superior.

Of slavery ask US. And they array be-
fore us the weak, the old, the lame, the
blind, and demand why we do not co.
cree them into our service. Here is a
very subtle argument Of our opponents,
both in England and America, which
perhaps needs a more thorough airing
than it has usually received. The an
swer appears very plain to US. The
conditions OF life stated in the argu.
ment, are transient and accidental.
They are in no sense parallel to the ne.
gro. Blackness is as natural to the ne.
gro, as are spots upon the lcopard's
back. His color is unchangeably fixed.

things. The inferior, being naturally

exist with them, without being subject
