t;cut disfrapchse no man because Of his color,

they do not. There are some Blacks in those
States who stand higher than tho lowest
Whites; but the position of the Blacks as
caste il decidedly below that Of the Whites.
Their eufranchisement never did and never can
make triAing. worthless, thriftess negroes the
equals of intelligent, worthy. thrifty Whites, be-
cause that is impossible. Nor doeesit make
drunken white loafer the equal of moral,
industrious, sef-respecting negro. 1t simply
authorizes each to pass current for his actual
value.
All but then that horrible Amagamation-
how shall we escape that fearful peril? Why'
Mr.. Doolitte, of tho thousands OF mulattoes ID
the Federal District, how many do you sup
pose had Anti-Slavery fathers Certainly not
one in ten. And more Of them hive been born
in that district than in all Now-Ehglahd.
So AmalQation in Mexico is no product Of
equality, but grew out of fervor and Iuss on
tue one hand aud ignorant weakness and de-
peu5epce On the other. Ama'gamatiOn follows
Slavery. and is rare where Slavery Is IN
known.
Mr. Dooittle thinks tho cOnmingling oil
Whites and Blacks in the Same community ma
housshcd unnatural and pernicious. There we
aeree with him. We differ in regarding Lib
erty as the natural and proper antdote for on
evil which had its origin in Slavery. 1t vas
Slavery which brought the two races together
wc believe liberty may be trusted TO separate
them. To-day, for example, Oh active, healthy
ond increasing emigration OF Blacks to Hayh
is proceeding; but it is entirely voluntary. No
whits has part or lot in it unless as paid
AGENT and there is no appeal to Whites Tor
old clothes aud cold victuals to help 1t forward.
IL three or four States were to offer bountles
TO all their negroes who wcnld migrate to
Hayti, we believe they would spo1 the bull
ness. Thousands will 60 if left alone who VIII
defy or evads any attempt to export them on
legal compulsiop. See the history of Liberia
for an example of colonization by White man
sgement, patronage, and virtual coercion.
Wc presume Some States will be unwise
enough, in abolishiug Slavery, to exile their
slaves If they see fit to do so, neither the
Federal Government nor any other State can
prevent it. For Congress to set the example
by forcibly coloulzng the slaves in the Federal
District would be- it seems to US, grave mis-
take For to send Off the three thousand we
nav FREQ, yet leave bohnd the seven or eight
thousand already free, would be absurd. TIE
one class has as much right there and is rs
well qualified to remain as tho other. and
when ne shall have paid the mainly discyal
shareholders a million dollars for their slaves,
we shall grudse another million to send them
into exile. They are very generally both able
and willing to take care of themselves; AMI
there is quite enough TO BIO done for the poor
without forcing a Objectionable yet costly boon
upon them. Men coonizci against their own
will have very rarely done much Tor themselves
or for others.
