the progress and happiness OF mankind

the negro, isolated in Africa, is, and must bs
a useless nonproducing savage. His organ

of the quadruped forbids an upright posture
and all human experiences is in accord witt
these physiological facts. We must, there
fore, admit that Gsd designed the negro fo
juxtaposition with the superior white man
otherwise he would be created in vain, a sup
position, of course, not to be tolerated a mo
ment. Moreover, his wonderful capacity fol
lmitation-that striking quality with those
2 ignorant of his nature have often mistaken TO,
real capacity-is positive proof that Goo
. designed him to exist in juxtaposition with
the superior race. The social relations be.
tween beings so widely different in their en-.
dowments as the Caucasian and the negro,
and the purposes the Creator has assigned
them, should not be- as indeed they never
have been, mistaken by those actually in
contact with these negroes. That the subor.
dinate negro must accupy subordinate So
it is is replied, it does not follow that he
should be slave. Ofcourse, it does not, but
what is slave? All Gods creatures, human
and animal, have natural right to live out the
life He has adapted them to.-When they do
this they multiply and arc happy when they
do not, they are miserable and die. When
they live tie life that they are designed for
they are free; when they do not, they are
slaUes. These obvious truths only need to be
applied to negroes to determine the point
whether they are slaves in Massachusetts, or
free in Virginia. In Boston, according to
the statement of the City Register, the births

past, arc 1874, while the deaths for the same
period are 376, thus showing that it is only a
question of time when Puritanical and bas-
tard philanthropy shall have destroyed all
the negroes of that enlightened" common
wealth. On the contrary, the negroes in
| Virginia, for the same period, have muti-
| piled even faster than the whites themselves !!
Similar results are universally demonstra-
| ted by the Federal census in all the States of
the Union. The subordinate negro is in a
subordinate social position, and rapidly null
tiplies Or he is forcibly thrust into the posi-
ton of the superior white man, and rapidly
perishes. Or in other words, the negro in
the South lives in accord with the nature God
| has given him, and is happy, and rapidly in

! forced into conflict with his natural wants,
and miserably perishes. The term slave is,

Europe, crprsssing certain relation of rh,te

In respect to ourselves, the presence Of this
natural substratum of society excludes all

among the dominant race, borrowed from the
Old World and secures freedom and equal-
ty for the masses. Our whole political and
party history presents one continuous proof OF
this vital truth. The planter or so called
