CIVIL WAX PROBABLY


AN0THEH CIVIL WAX PROBABLE.
IL 10 known to ell our readers that the late
Abolition Republican party by their continued
in,ermeddling With the institutions and domestic
Affairs Of the Southern States, aud the denial to
them Of their constitutional rights. irritated them
into the late terrible civil war, which il required
the entire power Of all the people in the North
united to suppress, and the suppression of which
cost US the sacrifice OF. at least. a quarter of a
million Of valuable lives, and laid upon us a debt
which, IL paid. mus. reduce To practical serldon
most Of the lsboring millions of the Nation for
ages to come.
When this war broke out, the Republicans
terrified at thu calamity they had brough! upon
the country, and dssirous to remove from the
public mind. as much as possible. The remem-
brance Of their guilty action in the premises,
dropped the name OF Republican, and assumed
that of Union party
BY the united Efforts of the people oil the North.
the rebellion has been suppressed. African
slavery, In name, abolished, and the negroes
transferred from their humble cabins to the mag
nifcent Government boarding houses, under the
charge of the Ffeedmen's Bureau. and here ends
the frs, act ia the drama.
The second now commences. Tue fraudulent
party name Of Union Is dropped. and the Re-
p~ublcans resppear. upon the stage. under their
old name. aud In their old character of inter-
meddlers in the affairs OF the Southern States
and disregardless Of their constitutional rights,
in which course they will probably again pursue,
a. formerly, till they provoke a second civil war,
perhaps more bloody and disastrous thsn the
fret.
Individuals and States are. and justly, neces-
sArily. ever extremely jealous OF their righ,s, and
resent tie smtlless intentional violation ofthem.
Our own revolutionary war furnishes a vivid IL
lu~stration OF this truth II ia often said our
fathers went into that war on account of the IN
just interference OF England with the rights OF
the Colonies 10 the extent OF = penny "A pound on

Coming now to the clss IN hand. We have in
the United States four millions OF African ne

nal and moral grade, by nature. as science has de-
Amonstrsted. of any OF the human species, and Of
such characteristics that they never can become
homogeneous with the white. the highest. by
nature, in Intellectual and moral grade, OF any OF
the human races. These negroes are mostly in
the Southern States without fault or exclusive
agency on the par, Of those States, but through
! the agency Of our Mother Country and Northern
traders. Between these two races Of whites and
blacks there is a natural anlsgonism, and they

made freedmen. to the superior the former mus,
be. TO preserve peace and harmony, under the
general guardianship of the latter. which can
only be maintained by securing 10 the former
their civil rights, such. in general. as minors en-
joy. and limiting political rights to the superior
the 1hite race.
This 10 the theory which prevailed at the for
nation Of our Government. and has since. in the
main, been acted upon; i, is the theory upon
which the Southern States desire still to act. and
IL 10 admitted that Il IS he right Of those Suites
under the Constitution, 10 act upon this theory !
they see ut 70 DO 80.
Now for the iniermeddliug by The Repub-
leans with this right of the Southern States thus
to act, which, if perseyered in. must. and justly
would. excite a new civil war. or a p~esceabls
separation of the States. In the Convention thai
framed our Constitution. aud in those of the State.
that adopted i,, il was. as will be seen by looking
into the MADISON Papers and EIIIorr's Debates

rule Of apportioning Representatives in Con-
gress among the States so as to preserve to each
its Just weight. power and influence for its
own protection in the con.ederacy of States

consolidated Empire should not be allowed to e1-

finally settled that population should be the

under il. in ell the Ststes substantially tue whites
are alone allowed to elect the quot. OF repre-

case in Indiana. and our people do no; wan. to
change that practice. Negroes don't legally
