supporter Of the Radical Democratic" can.

We make few extracts from the quotations,
for the purpose Of showing how wrapped up
in the negro are those miserable fanatics, and
how they propose to "clerafe the white race
by placing it ON an equality uitA that eftAe
negro!
The author defines the word "Miscegena.
ton" as follows Its derivation is from the Lat
in miscere to mix, and genus race. 1t is intend.
ed to mean, therefore, mixture of two or
more races. From this the words miscegeu.
the offspring of persons of different races
miscegenate. the verb, to minge the different
races, aud miscegenetic, tho adjective form,
follow. Another word is likewise coined, ex
prcssly to indicate the authors meaning
malalcukation-!rom two Greek words, signi-
flying q mixture Of the white and black races.
This word is also varied to supply the differ
ent parts Of speech. and will b. readily under
stood without further explanation, by the con-
rccion in which it appears.
The physiological equality Of the white and
black races is thus stated:
"Thc teachings of physiology as we'll as
the inspirations of Christianity settle the
question that all the tribes which iuhabit the
earth were iginally derived from ono type.

parts of the earth, from the prognnthous to the
eliptical, while the color is of all shades be-

quimaux to the tall. 1.-THE Patngonian. But
despite skull. color, structure, the race is rs-
sentially one. and the differences depend upon
climate and circumstances"
The author then comes to the point-thc
rich blending of blood"
elf any fact is we'll established in history,
it is that the miscegenetic or mixed races are
superior, mentally. physically and morally, 10
to those pure or unmixed. " The great
wars of modern Europe, including the giant
conflicts Of Napoleon. have had the effect Of
intcrmixing the treasures of different bloods
and complexious. Europe is becoming yearly
more compositc--at lras, so far as the limit of

lie asserts that in the true order of things
men love and are controlled by Composites"
That the straight haired man loves the kinky
head, the tall the short, tile blond the black,
ETC., and cites Horace Greeley as nm example:
"Such of our readers as have attended anti
slavery meetings will have observed the large
proportion Of blondes in the assemblage This
peculiarity is also noticeable in the leading
speakers and agitators in the great ant-slavery
party. Horace Greeley Of the New York
Tribune. known for his devotion TO the negro
race, is as opposite as a man can possibly be
to the people to whom he has shown his at
tachment by long and earnest labor for their
welfare. In color. complexion, structure.

Of Wendell Phillips. He, ZOO, is the very op-
posite of the negro. His complexion is red.

possible contrasts to the pure negro. Theo-
dorc Til,on, the eloquent young editor Of the
Independent, who has already achieved i'm

doctrine Of miecegenation. is very pure
specimen Of the blonde. and when young

South tinging the colorless complexion Of the
lev North. But it is needless further to par
ticularizp. The sympathy Greeley. Phillips
and Tilton feel for thu negro is the love which
the blonde bears for the black; it is a love Of
race, sympathy stronger to them than the
lore they bear to acoman. 1t is founded upon
natural law. We love our opposites. 1t is
in thu nature Of things that VIZ should do SO,
and where nature has free course. men like
thoss W. have indicated. whether anti slavery
or pro-slavcry, conservative or radical. demo-
cratic or republican, will marry and BE- given

blonde love the black. The black also love
their opposites." 'of
The author then proceeds to give the Irish
