This our new government is the first, iu The his
tory of tue world, based upon this great pbysic-
Bl, philosophical aud moral truth.
Inns truth has been slow in the process Of
development, IKE all other truths in The vari-
Gus departments of science. 1t is so even amoug

even within their day. The errors OF the past
generation st u cung to many as late as lwenty
years ago. Those at the North who still cling
10 these errors with Zeal above knowledge
We justly drnUmlnate Iaualics All IanatcIsln
sprugs from All alteration Of the mind, from
defect III reasoning. IL is II species OF insanity.

sumo that the negro Is equal and hence con-
cIude that he is eutlilsd to equal privileges and
rights with the White man. II their premises

whole argument ialls.
