civilization to which they arc capable,
morally and Intellectually, must be Sc
cured to them by their education and re-
ligious training; but they cannot be ad-
nitted to political or social equality with
the whitc race. It's due to ourselves-to
the white emigrant invited to our shores
and it should never be forgotten-to
maintain the fact that ours is and shall
ever bo a Government Of white men. The
purity and progress Of both races. require
that castles must be maintained, and inter
marriage between theraees be forbidden
Miscegenation must be the work and taste
of other cEimes and other apeople."
To work, is the law of God, and is the
only certain protection against the pau
perism and crimes Of both races. The
negro is peculiarly adapted tothe cultiva-
ton of the great. staples of the South
He should be encouraged to engage at
once in their production, by assurances of
protection against the avarice, cupidity
and injustice Of his employer. He isffee
to choose his labor, and to make his own
bargain. But he Should be required to
choose some employment that will insure
the maintenance Of himself and family
On the other hand, the employer must be
assured that the labor contracted for will
be specifically performed. The cultiva-
ton Of the great staples of the South re-
uire.continuous labor from January to
January. The planter cannot venture
upon their cultivation unless the laborer
is compelled to comply with his contractj
remaining and performing his proper
amount of labor, day after day, and week
aftersweek, through ho.whole- year; and
If he attempts to escape, he should be re-
turned to his employer, and forced to
work until.the time for which he has con-
traeted'has expired. BY such a system
of labor, the welfare and happiness Of tlle
African may be securs the agricultural
and commercial prosperity of the State
sustained, and our homes again become
the abode of plenty.
In the civil war just closed the troops
that responded to the call and command
of Mississippi have signalized' all those
high qualities that adorn the character Of
the soldier By thier yalor, courage and
heroic constancy, whether in camp, on the
march, or amidst The carnage Of the bat
Etle!feld, they have sustained her honor
and glory and made herimmortal. Many
have returned to ruined homes and for.
tunes. Others have fallen upon the bat
tle-6eld, or have been manned or disabled
for life. Many Of them and their fami-
lies, and the widows and orphans of the
dead, are ilfa state Of destitution The
Federal Government has magnanimously
| thrown over the rebel soldier the mantle
of oblivion for the past-but no pension
from it's Golfers awaits him or his family; !;
no homestead from the vast territory
invites them toscomfort and repose. To
Mississippi alone can they look for assis-
.tance. Whether it was right or wrong
to call the soldier TO arms, it cannot be
sSgrong to make such provision for them
as will relieve them and their families
from want and suffering, and secure TO
their children the means of education
Justice and gratitude demand it. Honor
and magnanimity will bestow.it.
