THE CAUSE.
! The human creation is group or famil
composed of several species some six or sey
en- Of which are sufficiently known to be class
ed and defined with absolute certainty
Among all the innumerable beings composin,
the organic world, there is no such thing a
single species, and the absurd dogma O
q single human species or race, so universal

and utterly in conflict with the fixed ant
fundamental laws of organic life, as the ide,
or notion ofa stick with single end is ir
conflict with the laws ofphysics. Superb

are not black white men, or colored men, a.
they term it, why, :hen, forsooth, they mus

snake was not the same as the gsrtersnake
why, Of conrse. it must be half bird or fish
or some other monstrosity midway between
snakes and some other form of life!
We see all about us, every day, on every
side, the manifestations oft simple and fl

but different birds. So with fishes, the shad

Again among dogs it is seen they are all

not necessary to multiply words IN a subject
of fact-demonstrative. physical fact. All
that is needed to a rational mind. or even to
the lowest grade Of intelligence is the simple
statement IF these facts, with the unavoidable
differences that belong to them, to convince
the widest and most bewildered among us OF
the awful errer under which they are labor
ing in respect to the social order and domestic
institutions of the South.
As has been said the human creation is a
family or form ofllfc composed of some six or
more species. Like all other families or
forms oflife. they have a generic resemblance,
but are specifically different. This difference
is uniform and obsolute, fixed forever by the
hand of God, end no human ignorance, folly
or impiety can ever modify it to the millionth
part of an elementary atom. The difference
in the physical-the mere organic structure
peryades the entire moral and intellectual
being, so that comprehending the former we
can easily measure the latter, or in other
words. tho physical differences between the
white man and the negro represent exactly
the Intellectual.
AS with all other genera, there is a certain
capacity Of interunion in the several human
species, less, however, in the Instance of eau.
cassians and negroes than in other races, for
the two occupy the extremes of the generic
column, the former being at tho head and the
latter at the base of this column. There is
always an imperfect vitality in the mulatto
and mongrel vergingt to absolute sterility, and
the fourth generation of the former is as alb
solutely forbidden to multiply itself as the
mule in the first generation.
Such, briefly presented, are the funda-
mental and everlasting tacts-fxed forever by
the hand Of God-the negro is different and
wildly different human species, the most in.
terior as the white man is the most superior
of all human races. Why is this So or when
or how the Almighty Creator saw fit, in His
boundlcss wisdom and infinite goodness. to
thus ordain things, we do not know, nor ever
can know. It is hidden from us, as is the be-
ginning and the sading of cur own individu-
al existence, and tho man or the men who
seek to know ito penetrate the counsels Of
the Eternal-to know VIXEN, or how, or why
the human creation exists, as it now stands
before us, palpable to the sense and unchang.
able in its diversities, commit similar folly
to that of the individual man who might
seek to know either the beginning or the end
of his own existence. 1t is fact, existing,
unch hangable and everlasting, while the or
ganic world itself exists, that the human
creation consists of several separate species Of
men: differing just as widely as do species in
other and all other forms Of life, aud to shut
our eyes TO this fact and blindly, studidly and
wiekedly assume them all to be single spe.
ces, we must not only continue to infict a
terrible punishment on ourselves, but we
shall richly merit ush punishment
This negro race is here, must always re-
main here, for it is wanted here, and ifsome
infinite power should interpose and suddenly
apnihil.tc it, we would instantly SGT to work
