You have not appropriated one dollar for
these purpOses-purposes which should en-
list The ability and the sympathy Of every
patriot in the land.
If this statement is incorrect If this
Republican party or its Administration
have ever made single effort in behalf Of
the MANNED soldiers q single appropriation
for the supper, Of the orphans aud widows
OF slain soldiers. / hope some gentleman
upan tie other side Of the House will CO..
rect me. There is no response, and I am
treasured in the CORRECTNESS. Of my asser-
ton by your silence. The alienation Of
the suferings of white men or the protec>
ton Of their rights is not in your line Of
philanthropy. Like your illustrious pros
totypes, Mrs. Jellaby. of the Bori.bo-la- ga
mission. or the Rev. Amibidab Sleek in the
play Of the Serious family, to the political
branch Of which you abOlitionists will soon
belong, your sympathies are never aetiss
in behalf Of practical and genuine bsuevo-
lence.
Mr.. Chairman. am opposed to al these
sickly schemes for equsiizing the races-
| God made the white men superior to the
black, and DO legislation will undo or
change the DEGREES Of Heaven. They are
unalterabe as the laws of nature, eternal
a divinity itself, ard to legisIate against
| them leads us to infdelity aud ruin. Since
creation dawned, the white race has i'm
proved and advanced in the scale of being
but as the negro was then SO be 10 now
But" says the Abolitionists, ''the African
has been blessed with no opportunity fo-
improvement" Who gave the white man
an opportunity God in bis infinite JUS
tiee placed the two races upon the earth at
the beginning of time TO work out their re-
spectiye destinies. History has faithfully
recorded their achievements. To that inn
partial tribunal | confidently appeal for
the yerriicafi ZION Of the white mans superb
GRITTY. As God made them 50 have they
remained. and unlike the abolition eauali-
cations i find no fault ard utter no com.
I plant against the wisdom aud Justice OF
our Creator.
The evils Of the attempted equalization
| of the races is illustrated by the history
| Of Mexico. That country Nas settled bT
the intelligent S?aniard. race not inferior
to our own ancestors. They dayelvped the
resources Of the country BY building roads,
| highways and canals. All along their
! line OF march the church and the Sch Of
! house were erected as landmarks " their
progress. But finally the idea If the
! eqUaiizing Of the races became popular
the attempt wa. made. the races were cen
mingled, and theneefOrward the deteriora-
| ton Of the people was rapid and fearful.
/ This holds true not only IT Mexico sBd
/ throughout Central and S0utier1 America
! but in all sections Of the globe wherever
| the white race has cnmmingled with the
black or the Indian. This system Of equal
! ization has failed to elevate the Inferior,
but has always degraded the superior race
On the other hand, wherever the purity of
the white race Las been preserved, its su-
periority has continued. and its develope-
ment, both mental and physical PR crossed.
| Neither soil nor climate, upon this cOnti-
Dent or elsewhere, has ever lowered tho
standard Of tho governing race.
F0r three quarters Of o century :5e UNI
ted States have led the van in all that is
great OF useful in inventions. We have
made an errand boy Of the lightning; We
have applied steam as a propelling power.
In single year we have depominated the
frality Of "England's wooden walls" by
the construction of our .rOn-clad sbibs OF
war and at the same time, by the same
thought, dssipatei al previously enter
tanned opinions Of sea-coast and haroor
Notifications. Sir, i am satisfied with the
history Of the races as they are, as they
were created. and as our fathers legislated
for them. / claim no originality for these
thoughts ; and they have been entertained
by some Of tie ablest Statesmen, not only
Of our country, but Of England, among
them Mr.. Canning. who when the British
Parliament was considering schemes kin
dred to those now occupying the attended
Of the Republican party in this country,
said:
In dealing with :he negro, sir, we mus

! One Of the great statesmen Of today
= Lord Sohn Russell. whenever he alludes e
J the black race in America and to a change
Of its status, talks only Of very grsdua
emancipation, because he knows that sud

o immediate emancipation upon the groun,
. Of expediency alone. American Statesmen
i should oppose it, Not only upon that ground
y but also upon the ground thar the CoDsti
