There ara msny, vast crowds, thousands, in
deed millions, who Indignantly deny that they
are mseegeustors or supporters OF mongrsIism ;
indeed, It is reasonable 70 say that If the drse
issue Of mating or inteEznarriazs with negroes
were placed before the peopls Of the North,
scarcely one in Thousand would accsDs doe

ever ignorantly or blindly they may be aiding
IN this monstTous crime against cur race and
lmpiety to God
We hsYs within the compass Of thsae States
twenty seven millions Of whit sizens and be-
tween four and five millions OF iegroes. These
negroes are different and subordinate beings,
and therefore are naturally adapted and are de-
signed by ths Almighty for s different aud sab
ordinate social condition; OF they have coHl-
mon origin and common nature, and designed
by the Almighty for the ssTas Liberty and COM
mon condition with ourselves. One or two other
Of these assumptions il true, Of course. II the
former, then Southern society, or so-cailed
slavery, is right Of necessity, though there may
bs many defects in the social condition, to be
reformed OF improved as society progresses. On
the contrary, if the negro be naturally entitled
to the liberty Of the white man, then be should
have the same social condition, and not only
would miBcsgenation or mixing Of blood follow
this common condition, bat it would be benef-
ciAl, and all sensible and truly patriotic men
should aid in Fastening an end 80 bsne6ceni as
theluniveTsal harmony OF society.
We repeat, one or the other of these thiBgs
mast be true. Which is il 2 Web, we msy
reason till doomsdsy, and, after sll, We must
come back 20 experiences. actual experiences, as
the sole, absolute and iHdispRtable test Of the
matter, and thus settle the question, which,
slavery" or "anti-slaveTy," is right. Msssa-
ehuSetts and South Carolina present rs With the
material for determining ths absolute tTnth Of
this matter More than half of the population
Of the latter arc negroes. They are n domestic

Of these facts, great Political party rises up IN

But the mere statement of this terrible truth
falls dead on these daluded people, who, per-
