SPEECH OF
Hon. Samuel S. Cox
ON MIsCEGENATIoN AND SLAVERY
Delicered in the House Of Congress on Wednes
day. February l7th, 1864.
[Conclnded.l


| The writer gives us his theory of the war
Although the war has not quite reached the
miscegenetic point yet, it itprogresses visibly
After showing how other wars have blend
ed the various bloOds Of the world, he
says:
1t will be our noble prerogatve to set the example
Of this blending Of blood. It is idle to maintain that
this present war is not war for the negro. 1t is
rights or his physical freedom; It is war, If you
pleaseof so calleda looking as its
final fruit, to the blending of the white and black
All attempts to end ii without recognition of the
political civil and social rights of the negro will on
~ lead TO still bloodier battles in the future Let us
be wise and look to the end let the war oon until
Il so on until the pride Of caste Is done away Let
go on until church and state pnd society recognize
NOT only the propety but the necessity Of the fusion
OF the white and black [laughterl in short until the
great truth shall be declared in public documents
and announced in the messages of our Presidents
that ii is desirable the white man should marry the
black woman and the white woman the black man
that the race should become melaleuketc before it
becomes miscegenetic. IGreat laughter.l
This Is the language of scientific prog
ress, soon to become familiar to the gen
tlemen on the other side. The author pro-
ceeds: ~
The next step will be the opening of California to
the teeming millions Of eastern Asia The patience
the industry, the ingenuity, the organizing the
skill in the mechanic arts which characterize the
japanese and Chinese must be transplanted TO our
soil, not merely by tho immigration Of the inhabi-
tants Of those nations but by their incorporation with
the composite race which will hereafter rule this
tinent. -
1t must be remembered that the Indians whom we
have displaced were copper-colored; and no other
complexion, psychologists affirm, can exist perma-
nenty in America. The white race which settled in
New England will be unable to maintain its vitality
as blond people, The darker shades Of color live
and thrive. and the consumption prevalent in our
Eastern States is mainly confined to the yellow-hair
cd and thin-blooded blondes.
What sad picture this for our New En-
gland friends! Oh, ye yellow-haired and
thin-blooded Yankees! Mingle! mingle!
mingle while ye may! 1t is the sure cure
for your asthmas and consumptions.
Still speaking of these thin-blooded New
Englanders, he says:
They need the intermingng of the rich tropic tenn
permanent of the negro to give watmth and fulness to
their natures. tLaughter.l They feel the yearnng,
and donot know how to interpretit. [Laughterl The
physician tells them they must travel to q warmer
climate. They recognize in this glimpse of the
want they feel though they hopeless Of its eica
cy to fully restore the lost vitality. Still they feel
the nameless longing,

The Rail-spIitter and tao Tailor.


A copperhead oracle, whose malignity us
ually outweighs its folly, thus rails at the
nomination OF Lincoln and Johnson:
"The only merit we can discover in this
Baltimore ticket is the merit OF consistency;
it is all Of a piece; the tail does net shame
the head, nor the head shame the tail. Il
rail splitting Jg6oon and a Joorish tailor,
both from tie Jackcoo9S, both Srot1ing up IN
uncouM ignorance, they would afford gro
tesque subject for a satiric poet" DC.
Such suicidal attacks, among a people
SO invinclbly democratic as ours, and where
'railsplilting buffoons" aud ''boorish fail
ors'' vote, and their votes count on par
with those Of scholars and milionaires, are
utterly unaccountable. Simon Snyder was
thrice chosen Governor of Pennsylvania,
becoming the idol of her masses, by virtue
Of Just such spl, ntic and short -sighted NAL
ice, The facts that Abraham Lincoln rose
from rail splitting to the Presidency and that
Andrew johnson, an Aliterats aud penniless
nobody, one of the "poor white trash" SO
generally kept undorin the South, fought his
way up, through the Legislature. House,
and Governorsbip of his adopted State, are
eloquent tributes alike to the character of
our institutions and the personal worth Of
these men. Billy Gray" said an incensed
Bostonian TO the mercantile millionaire OF
his day, ~ knew you when. you were but
