to Mr.. Doolittles position. But suppose 'ne
British Government had thirty Years ago,
proclaimed its determination to get rid OF the
Irish-to export them to strange countries ana
6ll their places with Briti.h and sootch-ana
this On the express ground that they were 40
inferior. detostsd race, with whom Brltons and
Scotchmsn could not sssOclate-does any one
believe that any Three Millions or One Million
of Irish would have migrated Would the

Itself.
"A word now a. 10 the detirability-or, II

Wholesale and fiual eypatllation OF its gamblers

y cen YOU talk of sending Of ts rural laborers--
those who grow its corn, its rice, It's cotton, It's
supsr--the ease is brayely altered One OF tho
worst features Of our socisl condition is the
general aspiration of our people to live without
manual labor. or with the least possible amount
of such labor. We have twice as many pre-
tenders 10 live by trade, or by something sse
than bona .fde productive industry, as we ought
TO have. But here is on attempt to eSpol -Four
Millions Of Manual LaborerS--the very cla's OF
which we are most in want, and by which oil
ths rest Of us liye-a full eighth Of our poPua-
ton. whereof not ono in thousand has ever
lived, OF expects ever to live, By aught but the
ruis,t, hardest and least requi'ed lator. we
know no parallel to this but the expul'ion oi
the Mcors from Spain and that OF the HuRuenots
from France-two of the blacklist crimes IN
the history of Christendom. by which two great
Kingdoms were seyeraly brought TO tho brink
of ruin.
We heartily agree with Mr.. DOolitils That .
separation Of tho White ard Black races 10
our country is desirable and will provo ad'
ynntsgeous 10 both. Let the White black.
guards Of Rebedom polish their own boots and
saddle their own steeds-it will do them good
every way, and afford the blacks more time
for growing the staples whereof tho word
.tapd, in need. But it does not at all follow
from tho premise that Whites and Blacks
should live separats, that either need seek
home ia some foreign country. We have On
area large enough for Five Hundred Millions
of People, not oDe-tenth of which has ever felt
tho pon: of q plcw; We have every variety Of
soil auA climate which is adapted to any pOr-
tion OF our people, Black or White; and n ia
simple wisdom, it i, baked common sense. to
retain a. many houest workers as possible.
Let Florida, or Western Texas, or both. be

OF any Whites who might choose to live among
them, but o. 0 region TO bs ccloaized. im-

Let wise and good Whites 50 among Gem,

Agriculture and the Arts be cherishedi end Jet
us show ous superiority, If we have any to
show, BY discardipg and scouting the mean
jealousy which fears that the negroes would
become our masters il they were not kept un-
der by unequal and oppressive laws. The
Blacks are not an attractive race; but Whites
who are afraid they would marry negroes, or
that their children would, or that negroes would
become their suptriors or rulers, if the laws
did not protect them from such fate, ore
far moro disgusting.
We dissent from Mr.. Doclttle's conviction
that tie Rebellion was caused. aud that Slav-
cry il upheld, from fear Of what is called
Negro Equality; ard that ample provision for
the e1patriatioD Of Blacks would soften Rebel
hate Of The North and of Universal Freedom.
On the contrary, we consider the cry for Ne
gro E,patristiOn merely prcte1t for holding
Oh to Slavery. If Slavery were abolished to-
morrow, and no hopo remained of its reG'tab.
lishment, we believe the more enlightened
Southern Whites would generally protest against
Colonization. They are accustomed to negroes,
have been brought up with them, like their
easy ways and submissive manners, and know
they could hire them tomorrow on terms moro
advantageous end satisfactory than any other
laborers on earth. They are acclimnted-ttey
