which you may recognize among the pow.
ers Of the earth. Rayti and Liberia fur
nish further matter for your infatuat:on TO
fatten upon, and you at once proceed to
establish diplomatic relations between fhe
United States and these benighted and
halfmade parodies upon human govern
ment.
AT an annual expense Of thousands of
dollars, you propose to receive! negro di-
plomats from them and send nited
States Ministers to them; indeed you are
the champions of negro equality. without:
regard to cost. place, propriety or Dig
nifty.
This Congress has been in session near
ly eight months. and all that have re-
viewed you have done, and more you wu' d
do if you could. for the negro. What
have you accomplished for the White man
Have YOU provided the payment of PEN
sions 10 the soldiers who have been disa-
bled while fighting the battles of your
country? Have you appropriated money to
relieve the wants and necessities of the
widows aud orphans of white men who
have perished upon the battle fields de-
Tending the constitution and the fla. of our
country? All. no; your time has been
too much :aken up with the negro to think
Of these things. You have not appropria-
ted one dollar for these rposes-purpo-
ses which should enlist the ability and
sympathy of every patriot in the land
Ii this statement is incorrect; it this re-
publican party have ever made a single
effort in behalf Of the manned soldiers. a
single appropriation for the support of the
orphans and widws Of slain soldiers hope
come gentleman on the other side of the
House will correct me. There is no re-
sponse. and am reassured in the correct.
pess of my assertion by your silence.
The alienation of the suilerings of white
men or the protection Of their rights is
not in your philanthropy. Like your H.
lustrious prototypes, Mrs. Jellaby, of the
Boribolaga mission, or tie Rev Aminadab
Sleek. in the play Of the Serious Family,
to the political branch of which you abo-
litionists will coon belong. your sympathies
arc uever active la behalf Of practical and
genuine benevolence.
REASONS AGAINST EQUALiz1NG THE RACES.
Mr.. Chairman, l am opposed to all
these sickly schemes fox equalizng the
races. God made the white man superi
or to the black. and no legislation will
undo or change the DEGREES of Heaven
They are una,erable AS the laws OF nature
eternal as Divinity itself, and to legislate
against them leads US to Infidelity and ru.
IN. God in His infinite justice, placed
the two races upon the earth to work ou.
their respective destinies. History has
faithfully recorded their achievements.
To that impartial tribunal l confidently
appeal for the verification OF the white
mans superiority. AS God made them,
so they have remained, and. unlike the
abolition equalizationists, l find no fault
and utter no complaint against the wisdom
and Justice of our Creator.
The evils OF the attempted equalization
Of the races is illustrated by the history of
Mexico. That country was settled by the
intelligent Spaniard. a race not inferior to
our own ancestors. They developed the
resources of the country by building roads,
highways and canals All along their line
Of march the church and the schoolhouse
were erected as landmarks Of their pro
gress But finally the idea Of the equal
izing Of the races became popular; the
attempt was made. the races wese com-
mingled, and thence forward the deteriora-
ton Of the people was rapid and fearful.
This holds true not only in Mexico and
throughout Central and Southern Ameri
ca, but in all sections Of the globe wher
ever the white race has commingled with
the black or the Indian. This system of
equalization has failed 10 elevate the infe-
nor. but has always degraded the superior
race On the other hand. wherever the
purity Of the white race has been preserved
its superiority has continued. and its de.
velopment. both mental and physical.
progressed.
For three quarters of a century the Uni
ted States have led the van in all that is
great or useful inventions. We have made
an errand boy of tho lightning; we have
applied steam as propelling power. In
single year we have demonstrated the
frailiy of Englsud's s wooden walls by the
construction of our iron clad ships of war:
and, at the same time, by the same
thought. dissipated all previously enter
tanned opinions of seacost and harbor for
tihca;ions Sir. | am satisfied with the
history Of ,he races 80 they are. as they
were created, and "a our fathers lepislatel
