we PUBLISH Ou Jul oOOOnu pogo al az
ticle from the Springfield MASS, y Repub-
Hcan, on this new-fangled chronological
abomination. The inherent greatness and
nastiness of the subject will undoubtedly
draw to it disciples and advocates. The
doctrine is simply nothing more nor less
than the theory of using al old practice
as new plan for "w hitewashing the ne
gro." In other words, it is the crime of
amalgamation put forth as the means of
disposing of the African race in this coun-
try. And since it finds promulgator in
WENDELL PHILLIPS the author of "The
Lost Arts, whose crazy dictations are lis
tened to by the Congress of the United
States, and thousands of people, it will
not be strange should it infuse itself some
way into the political compexion of the
country. Indeed it is urged by it's friends
as suitable for plank in partizan plat
form.
ALPnoNso said he could improve the So

PROJECTIONS OF the human race. In every
age there have been men wiser in their own
o)nceit than their Maker, and these tanat-
! les who ignore the results Of Providence
are ready, in defiance of Holy Writ, to as
sist the Ethiope to change his skin. They
will improve the rainbow by tinging it
with black and chade the lily with the
ebon leaf We might ask, with SHAKES
PEARE:
Can such things be,
And overcome us like Summer cloud,
And not excite our special wonder"
The scriptures say nothing to indicate
that the great and good of yore were hy-
birds of Caucasus and Ethiopia The
classic Grecian face reflected no touch of
the mystic law of miscegenatiOn The
noble Roman brow acknowledged no
debt to the combinations of amalgama.
ton and we have yet to learn that the
radiant peach-bloOm of the lovely English
womans cheek, or the mysterious splen-
dor Of her eye, are to be traced to the
filthy riots of melaleukatiOn.
1t is true that both nature and history
have stamped all the indelble marks of
repul ion upon the taste Of one and the
physique of ;he other, which ought to keep
separate the two races, as either by crea-
ton or the destiny of Providence they
now exist; yet the mere absurdity and
perversity of the theory will draw to its
support and agitation the meddlesome
buzz of uneasy spirits, who, like flies, find
feast in the nuisances of nature But
the scripture hes said that "out of much
evil cometh good" and in this new out
break of folly, we shall have the slight
compensation of knowing at least
what part WENDELL PHILLIPS and
his oompeers really intend to per-
form in saving their country. Mr.
Triton, the editO of HENRY WARD
BEEoHER's paper, has defined how these
patriots are wiling to "pour out their
blood " in this cause. We at last know
why this latter gallant paper hero did not
go to the war when drafted 1t is indeed
for new branch of the service that he
holds himself in reserve, aud it may not
be unexpected should the demand be
made on Congress for an ap 'ropriation to
carry out this measure We have no
no doubt that PHILILPs himself would
be willing to bear the title and even the
burthen of a salary of General of Msoe-
genation.
We must acknowledge, however, that
notwi'h stahding the logical force inhelen
in this new humanitarian doctrine, and
the fervor of persuasion it bears with it,
We are still >keptical as to its general re-
ception and adoption. But few will be
able to see it in the light in which it is
presented, or be willing to agree to the
process or results proposed. We are not
sufficiently master of design to perceive
how the philosophic cast Of GRRELEY's
head would be improved by being crowned
with a trizzly fluff of Negroes wool, nor
how the r4iIiant face of PH1ILIPs would
seem more eloquent or classical for the
proposed infusion of African blood. Yet
we do believe that the common sense of
all such mOuntebank theOrizers would be
improved by smalgamation, and it would
be well for the country if a little practice
in that way would succeed in stopping
their preaching.
