Mr. Chairman, | am opposed 70 al
these siekly schemes for eouaIizing the
races. God made The white man superior
TO the BLACK, and no Legislation will undo
or change the decreos Of Heaven. They
are unalterable as the laws of nature,
eternal as divinity itself, and to leeis-
late against them leads US 20 in6deIity
aad rain- Since creation dawned. the
white race has improved and advanced In
the scale Of being, but as the negro vas
thens so he is now. sFBut,'' saws the
abolitienisas, 'fthe African has been bles-
sed with no opportunity for improve
meht." Who gave the white man an op-
PoEtanity2 God, in bis infait justice,
ptaced the two races upon the earth at
the beginning of time to work OUT their
respective destinies- History has faIth-
fully recorded their achiey emsnts. To
that impartial tribunal 1 confidently ap-
peal for the verifeation Of the white
mans superiority. As God made them
SO have they remained, and unlike the
abolition saualizatinnists find no fault
and utter no complaint agaist the wisdom
and justice CT 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 in
ferior to our own ancestors. They de-
yeioped the resources Of the country bv
ballding roads, highways, aad canals
All along their line Of march the church
aud the school-house were erected as
landmarks Of their progress. But hHaiIy
the idea Of the equalizing of the races
became popular; the attempt was made,
the s8s@ we're esminEled, and thence
forward the deterioration of the people
was rapid and fearful. This holds true
not only in Mexico and Ehsoughout Gen.
tral and Southern America, bat in all
sections Of the globe wherever the white
race has eommingied with the black or
The Indian. This system of equalization
oaS failed to elevate the inferior, but has
always degeaded she superior race. On
he other hand, wherever the purity of
he white race has been preserved, it's So
has continued, and it's develop
nent, both mental and physical, progress
led. Neither soil or climate, upon this
continent or elsewhere, has ever lowered
he standard Of the governing race,
For three quarters of century the
United States have led the van ia all thai

aave made an errRnd boy Of the lightn-
