sublimity.
He who ascends to mountain tops shall find
The lcftest peaks most wrapt in clouds and snow !;
lie who surpasses or subdues mankind
Must look down the hate of those below.
- Though high abore the sun of glory glow,
And far beneath the earth and ocean spread,
Round him are icy rocks, aud loudly blow
Contending tempests on his naked head,
AID thus reward the tolls which to these SUBMITS
led. BYRON.
The author of that sublime word, mis-.
ccgenation," must have patience with us
mortals. Our ideas may not at first be
able to enter into the full grandeur Of his
principles. We may be somewhat startled
1t their novelty, but like the boylwith say
ing his prayers, We will get bravely over it.
Some perssn said this was Democratic
production. don't know, nor do care.
Here is an extract or two:
s'In the oldcn times the master (he writes
It with small my said, as loyal men say
to-day, "He that is not with me is against
me-" When he cast out devils, as
Burnside did in Ohio, and went about do
ing good as opportunity offered, to the poor
and the oppressed, the hypocrtes were
Mortified and talked to him of the law and
of the prophets, as the traitors Of to day
talk of courts and constitutions. 1t is fit
ting that we should brand these men with
the name Of Copperheads, remembering
how he [small h addressed his audience Of
caviliers and hypocrites %! generation
of vipersr"
This may be Democracy, but in the
words Of the Clown. "tis very pecooliar."
In the mental system, he says, "the
irritable seek the calm, the grave, the gay,
the impassioned, tho modest; the impetu-
ous, the gentle, &C." Ergo, we must all
Null in love with niger wenches. 1.-THE
rule in love affinities is the same as in cleo
trio af6nities; unlike attract-likc repel."
From this proposition he argues that the
white New England blondes and the daugh-
ters of the South entertain "a frenzy Of
love" for the young colored bondman, "who
is to,her hero, blazing in all the splendors
Of imperial manhood"
He does not Aatter any nationality that
happens to be white. He talks thus Of
Americans-the simon pures:
'The white people of America are dyirg
for want of flesh and blood. The checks
are sunken, the lips are thin and blood
less, the under jaw narrow and retreating,
the teeth decayed and painful, the nose
sharp and cold, the eyes small and watery,
the complexion of blue and yellow hue,
the head and shoulders bent forward the hair
dry and struggling upon the men, the
waists of the women thin and pinched,
telling of sterrility and consumption, the
general appearance gaunt and cadaue'ous
from head to FOOT"
lie continues: "The white race which
settled in New England will be un:ble to
retain its vitality as blonde people. Tho
darker shades Of color live and thrive, and
the consumption SO prevalent in our Eastern
States is mainly confined to thu yellow
haired and their blooded blondes.
"They need the intermingling Of the rich
tropic temperament of the negro to give
warmth and fulness to their natures. They
feel the yearning and do not know how to
interpret it. The physician tells them they
must travel to a warmer climate They
recognize in this a glimpse of the want they
feel, though they are hopeless Of its efficacy
to fully restore the lost vitality. Still they
feel the nameless longing" q dare not
quote farther here.) "All that is needed
ITO make US the finest race on earth is to
cngraft upon our stock the negro element
which Providence has placed by our side
on this continent" He says the whites
and blacks have an irresistible tendency to
mingle. The black man loves the white
woman. He sometimes breaks through
the shackles of the law. 1--WE must accept
the facts of nature. The best way to con-
4uer nature is to submit to her Cd Sublime
morality!
He says the Irish and the Negro are
bound to mingle. 1.-THE fusion, wherever
it takes place, will be of infinite service to
the Irish. The Negro is mild, spiritual,
&C., &c. The Irish arc coarse-grained, re-
vengeful, unintellectual, &c. Take an
equal number Of Negroes and Irish among
the lowest communities Of the city of New
York, and the former will be found far su-
perlor to the latter in cleanliness, education,
moral feelings, beauty of form and feature,
and natural sense"
OF the inhabitants Of Sligo and Mayo,
"Miscegenation" says:
1.-THE people have become thin-legged,
-, with mouth projected, head sloped,
nostrils distended; in short they exhibit
all the characteristics of the lowest type of
the Negro"
Let your Irish readers be lenient. IT'S
. matter of taste, and you know,
"a fellow feeling makes US wond'rous kind"
Oh my dear author, you are hopelcssly
enamored. l sympathize with you.
s'As the dew to the flowers. the bud to the bee,
Az the sun to the rose, is the NEGRO to thee |"
JAMES.
