no accounting either foF the 7itiated taste Of
sane men or the vsgsTies of mad philosophers
But not for bis own individual pleasure does
the Americana CloO'z urge his plea Of more than
brotherhood with the people he loves. I. IA for
bis countrYi i IS foT the esuss Of progress; II
is fer the world; it is for Christianity, that be
pleads for anna algansiion with . race which,
with his purely Cor impurely) sainal instincts,
he believes in all physical attributes, to be SO
superior to his own. @Our pEejuaicss,p he ssys,
" are dying ont, and nature is asserting the
unity Of all msa. The negro declares that be
loves tbs white man, and the progressive party
Of ths North asserts the rights Of the negro.
The leaders of progress, among shsm we
quote Wendell Phillips and Theodore Tilson,
urge miscegenesic reform (amslgsmAtion of the
races Tbs American people are ri9s to re-
eeive the tsuth. The Southern women feel the
magnetism Of association with tropical rsea.
(HOnible) The mothers and dsughtsrs Of the
slsveh5lding sIist0efaey are thrilled with q
strange delight by daily contact with their
dusky male ssrvitors. Through the fiery gate
of war they (ths Americans both Of the North
and SOuth) are being led to daliVer2ncs from

call of the negro for fraternity. There were
wants in his nature which only the negro could

Christian or enlightened community, that
should lesd any TO deny this. The success of
the anh-slsvsTy party has proved it, so that de-
nial Of tbs principle Is denisl of facts uniFeT-

The aashor's politics are as decidedl- black

fortune" he says, ''if this war should end with
out black general in command of white or
mixed body of troops. We want an American
TOusssint L'0Ferture to give the black his
proper position on this continent, and the day
is coming. People say the rebellion is at an
end; but that Is not true. The South will fight
to the last; but it is in the eternal fitness OF
things that they should finally be subdued by
tae black soldier. After that, the lands of the
South must be divided among the negroes, who
are iss only loysl population.
Were the ideas Of this fanatic confaed 70
himself they nigh! excite laughter, diEgast, or
contempt; but when expressed in more modest
and more guarded lsngusgs by Mr. Phillips OF
Mr.. Tilton, they elicit the approval of crowded
audiences Of educated Americans, of when

mEdness of the hour in this distracted country
receives new but unfTAgrant Illustration. If
this be doue in the green leaf, what shall be
