anu lHe more mdTkcu SUBDIVISIONS OF tneSe
races. In the ninth chapter of Genesis,
God gave. in prophetic blessing, the mastery
OF the world to Japhet granting to Shem an
inferior control leaving Ham unblest, and,
therefore, under curse, to be ever continu-
ed.
This superiority of one son of Noah over
the other two in the great divisions Of the
earth, has been carried out in the MASTER
hood of one race over another in the many
yorieties of these great races.
My limits forbid any extended explana-
ton. | can only say that in Europe the
Norman showed itself to be the master race
especially conspicuous in France, Great
Britain and Ireland. For eight hundred
years it has held its sway. Whatever the
changes, this Norman blood has ever been
the spower" that governed. But there were
grades in it, which have come down until
this time. both in Europe and in America |;
for North America being colonized from
England, Scotland, Ireland and France, all
their peculiarities of races have been sent,
besides those belonging to many other fami-
lies of nations which have made this new
world their home.
That part of the Norman race which held
sway in France and England, and sent its
Representatives over the water, | will ex-
press by the name Of Cavalier, because that
was the word which, in England, distinguish
ed the ruling mind from the Puritan in the
day of the great rebellion. This Cavalier
type of the Norman settled the Eastern part
Of Virginia, North Carolina, most Of South
Carolina, and has throughly leavened, by
emigration, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sisslpppi, Arkansas, and West and Middle
Tennessee. The Scotch were, to some ex-
tent, mingled in these sections. The Scotch
Irish, originally peopleing portion of Penn
sylyania, from thence overspread the valley
of Virginia, the western part of North Car
olina, and East Tennessee.
The Puritan race was that part Of the
mingled Norman and Saxon races which
never held power in England, except when
Cromwell was Protector. The race settled
New England, and has infused itself through
all the North, except Pennsylvania.
The North and South are now in war
waged by this Puritan stock against the Cav
alier and the Scotch-Irish part of what was
the United States. This war has long been
brewing. 1t was obliged to come. 1t had its
rise in the elementary minds of the races.
Thus,
The Cavalier or higher Norman type, in
harmony with the Scotch and Scotch Irish,
have, the world over, one great popularity
i. e., they honor authority as authority from
God. . And, having thus the mind which
knows how to obey, il knows how TO com
mand. Hence it is the governing power,
wherever il is found in conditions TO show
itself to be this high type.
1t must be that governing mind-for, to
honor authority, as authority from God, is
the highest reach of human thought. 1t is
faith in God simply as God, above all reason
ing. And the same faith is seen in all rule
over men, as ordained Of God. II IS, there
fore. the highest condition Of mind to insure
rightfnl obedience to, and rightful control
of, Government.
The Puritan, on the contrary, is, as have
said, that development Of the Englishman
which never held power in England but
once, and from its radical element this phase
of mind never can be the ruling power in
all SuuHhlt EptS
The Puritan is the ultra liberty man Of
the world-both in religion and politics.
He is not willing to be under authority, as
authority, Of God or man. His pride OF in
dividual right is so extreme, that he must
have all rule and all authority, and power
to be such only as he in his reason shall ap-
prove. Hence he recognizes God only as
his reason reveals Him. Hence he admits
Government only as he likes it. Hence,
however, God may speak Of Himself or Of
His Government over men, spiritual or tenn
poral, the Puritan submits. or refuses, only
as he wills. But as each man claims the
same right Of reason. il follows that the Pa-
ritan has no tribunal whatever 10 control him
in public body. For, as eyerybody's judg-
ment is as good as another's, in bis estiina-
tion, so no ones can be admitted TO be SUI
preme. Reason, therefore, must necessari-
" fail to govern. The strongest will then,
has the control.
The tendency, therefore, of the Puritan
mind. is to m6delity in religion. and anarchy
and ultimate despoiism in the State. u ran
