The Latest Raving Of Abolitionism.

Theodore Titop, the melancholy Rp.
pendix TO Beecher's Independent, ipsults
public morals by openly recommending
amalgamation between the negroes and
the whites. As matter Of logic, this is,
no doubt, the last consequences of the Alb,
clifton doctrine. as II is now carried out
by its apostles under the auspices of the
Administration. But Mr.. Tilton says
~ is not the black blood Which must be instiled
into iohite veins; Iu whit; blood phich must
F., be infused into The blacks" How the
one may be done and the other prevented,
is n after of physiological research, OF
which Mr.. Tilton alone seems TO possess
the secret. lfhe intends to effect this bv
| internarriages, then it is clear that he
does not consider the happiness of the
parties Immediately interested, but sims
! ply the new variety which is to spring
| from such unnatural connections. Mar
riages to be happy, and to result in the
proper education Of The children, must be
assorted in regard to temper and disposiN
| ton as well as TO the social standing and
education Of the parties. These things
the philosophers Of the black school en-
tirely ignore they would degrade our
own women 10 elevate the negro, and to
renew an experiment which has failed
during period of FIVE thousand years.
'We have absorbed the great Irish race,
we absorb the great German race, why not
also the great Negro race ?" exclaims Mr..
Tilton. You have not absorbed the great
Irish race, and you are far from absorbing
the gren. German race, though YOU ex-
hibit as great an ignorance on the subject
OF ABSORPTION as an any nogro on Souths
ern plan tation. Races have never been
absorbed in history Oh the contrary, you
can trace them after thousands of years,
even when they have sprung from the
same parent Caucasian or Mongolian
stock. Any civilized nation can absorb a
number of individuals, or even families !:
but not whole race. IF 100000 or 200. .
600 Germans emigrate annually to the
United States, and scatter over the whole
surface OF the country, they may be alb
sorbed by marriage, and their individual
characteristics gradually extinguished: but
where they have settled in considerable
numbers they have retained their pecu-
liar characteristics, their industrious hab-
its, their trUgality, and even their Ian.
guage. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, In.
diana, in short, all the Western States
can furnish proof of this assertion. And
If the Irish settled in masses, like the
Germans, the same would hold of them.
But they prefer remaining in the large
cities, where. by their familiarity with the
language, they find more ready employ
ment and me ans Of distinguishing them,
selves in all the learned professions. That
even there they form powerful assooia-
tons, has been so repeatedly demonstra-
ted, that the preachers of the doctrine of
absorption will have TO wait for some GEN.
turies before they can accomplish the Job.
The French have not yet absorbed the Al
sacians, though they intermarrv with
them, and hold them politically for more
than Two hundred years neither have
the Austrians absorbed the Magyars, or
the Spaniards the Sicilians, or the Eng
lish the Scotch, with whom they are now
united for more than one hundred and
hfty years. The Russians have in like
manner failed to absorb the Poles, and
have not succeeded even in absorbing the
Finlandersl The Abolitionists may boast
of their numbers; hut we defy them and
their descendants, whether white or col.
ored, to absorb four millions Of negroes.
The truth is" says Mr.. Titon. in an
ecstacy OF nonsense, "the negro is in eve~
ry way equal to the white man, is he not
superior to him in many respects"
That the negro is superior to many a
white man we readily admit after reading
Mr.. Tilton's learned dissertation but
that the average negro is equal TO the av-
erage white man, is an unblushing false
hood.
|. Professor Moleschott, the first pbysiol>
ogist of Europe, and man who is neither
influenced by abolition nor by pro slavery
sentiments, has proven by actual expert
ments that the brain of the negro COM
tains less phosphorus than that of the
white man, and that the average quantity
OF his brain is less than that of the white
man by Two ounces. Historically, the me-
gro appears entsngled with the white race
from the remotest antiquity to the press
ent time; yet nowhere do we see even an
independent imitation of the civilization
of the Greeks, Romans, Phenicians, POI,
tuguese, Spaniards, French, or English in
any negro tribe. Out of themselves they
have produced nothing-not an ides to
enrich mankind. But the Abolition ia,

five thousand years comes the great Abo-
