When two races wholly opposed by na.

equality, cne of two things happens
The superior race, both by moral and
physical means, exterminates the inferior
one; or else the two become extinct
The truth of what we say, has been strik.
ingly illustrated on this continent.-
When the colonists reached America,
they found it inhabited by a brave and
barbarious race. William Penn and 9th l..
er philanthropists, believing in the equal.
ity OF races, set about to elevate the In.
dian, and the result Of his scheme has
been the total determination of the In.
dian race. Where amalgamatiop took
place between the Indians and Europeans,
the result was progeny of half breeds.
who were destitute Of the virtues of the
whites, as well as those of the red man.
while possessing the worst vices of both
races. They were vicious, dcbauched,
cruel and very short liyed. In the con.
stant friction between the two races, the
inferior one has been rubbed, while the
descendants Of the white colonists have
become a great. people. On the other
hand, tho Spaniards who conquered Mex.
leo, at once amalgamated with them, and
the result has been the complete demor.
ahEation and depopulation CT that .coun.

the revolutionary war, Mexico and "tho
colonies" contained about the same mum.

the colonists Of the United States have
increased from three 70 more than thirty
millions while in the same space of time
the mopgrel race of Mexico has only in.
creased from three to a little over six
millions. Although all travellers repre-.
sent Mexico as one Of the healthiest,
and most productive countries on earth.

Remarkable Conduct of q Dog.

We have new dog story to relate : A
little Euclid Avenue friend of ours pos.
sesses, among other pets, fine pointer
dog, and couple Of little chickens, that
have been deserted by their mother-a
very unprincipled and unnatural hen, by
the way. The other day he fell asleep
while playing with the chickens. As he
lay upon the floor, with his long, golden
curls streaming out upon.she carpet, the
chickens nestled beneath them, as they
would have nestled beneath their runa.
way mother. The pointer dog was near,
and, for some time, had watched the pro.
ceedings with evident interest. Finally
he approached the sleeper, poked the-lit
tie chickens from beneath the curls, took
them gently in his mouth and carried
them to his kennel. Their juvenile own.
er was much alarmed upon awaking and
finding that they "wero not" Alarm
was changed, first to surprise and then
to pleasure, upon discovering their where.
aboats, and the gentle manner. in which
they were being cared for. The dog
seemed perfectly carried away with fond
affection for his charge. He would gent
ly caress them and look upon them with
eyes beaming with tenderness. For three
or four days, the little chicks thus resi-.
ded with their canine friend. At night
they would rcpose beneath the hair of
his paws, and during the day Ne was
their constant companion-attending to
their every wants with human care and
solicitude. Finally this unnatural mode
OF existance seeming to disagree with
them, the chickens were taken from their
strange protector much to the htter,s

Can't Go II.

We rarely pick up an exchange, these
days, that we do not see somo account of
a roc,unter between soldiers and negroes.
There seems to be an enmity between
the two classes that has been embittered
by the attempt Of the Abolition party
to elevate the negro, and degrade tho
soldier to an equal footing, The "boys
in blue" cannot so this nmalgamation
doctrine. They have been in the South
where they have seen the negro in al the
glory of bis dirt, lazinoss and ignorance, !.
and they have not formed the most favor
able opinion ofthim. The boys will
hardly vote to degrade themselves to the
level Of an Ignorant negro, as the Aboli-
tionists wish them to .- Hancock Courier.

DEAR SIR We do not write to YOU
as party men, but as citizen soldiers who
have returned from the field to resume
the duties Of civil life We entered the
war to put down the rebellion, and there
by preserve the Union but we cared
nothing for the Union then, nor do we
now. If slavery went under we did not
care, and if not it was all the same to us,
provided we saved the Union. We did
not want to see the Union broken up,
nor do we now want 10 be placed on q
level with negroes, as q reward for our
services. AS you are a soldier, General,
we have a right to look to you to defend
our rights, and if you will stand by the
the boys, they will stand by you; but if
you go to placing us upon an equality
WITH negroes, then well all go against you
The boys didn't like the idea of negro
soldiers, for we were able to whip the
rebels ourselves; and although the me-
groes wore the uniform, you know, Gen.
eral, that the white soldiers did the fight.
ing. We stood that because we could
not help it; but now that we are citizens
we will vote our sentiments, and never
will we consent to marah up to tho polls
alongside of niggers. You Know that
General Sherman was always opposed to-,
niggef voters, and we can't 60 them. %
we want You to answer these ques,
tions, for when it comes TO voting we are

right we will vote for you but if you are

% These are questions which overy man
must answer by his advocacy or opposi-
tion to the Jacobln policy Of universal
Negro Suffrage and equality rof races
They are the natural and logical results
of the extreme radical policy. 1t will
not do for them to claim that the mortal.
ity of the negroes Of the South since the
commencement Of the rebellion has swept
away this preponderance of blacks from
the localities referred to by the statistics.
We admit that the mortality has been
much greater than the public imagine,
and that at least one million have been
swept away in the last four years; but
have there not been at least one million
of the Southern whites killed in battle
or died of disease incident to the war p
The great mortality of the negroes has
not been confined to adult males, but has
taken with it in its sweeping results male
and female, old and young while the
loss Of the whites in battle have been
from the male population, and principal
y the voters, leaving a larger proportion
OF non-voters among the whites than the
blacks, under the Negro Suffrage policy.
When we add to this natural disparity of
males the exclusion from the ballo.-box
OF large class Of whites by the provis-
ions of the amnesty proclamation, is it
not reasonable. to suppose that the pre-
ponderance Of blacks whe would become
voters, should the Iacobin policy be put
into practice, would be in still greater
proportion than is revealed by the re-
turns of the last census, and in fact ena.
ole tue negroes to secure majority in
the Legislatures of several more States ?
Is it not better to stop and consider these
startling facts, take our bearings and see
where we are drifting, before we plunge
the ship Of State into any such uncertain
waters? Would it not be better to rally
to the support of the sagacious reorgani-
zation policy of the President, and CO.
ment what we have obtained through a
long and expensive war, before we at
