turnedup Who had benin the war and never
been home; had been four times reported
dead, and on at last coming home, found
his wife had believed the reports and mar
ried another man. He determined to give
hernp; but said he to o number of sympa-
thi2ing friends: "The thing that sticks in
my craw, gentlemen, is her a margin a
burned conscript; ef he'd been a man and
fout for his country as ! have done, I

passage quoted in the beginning OF this
article, is in inferring that beneficial results
will follow from an intermixture Of races, be-
cause they follow from the intefmixture Of
different tribes Of the samerace. In1492 CO..
lunabns discovered America and opened up
j country for the only satisfactory expert
ments which we have in the mixed races.
In four countries of the New World the
admixture was prevented by one Of the
races being driven out or by one race and
all mixed persons being held in strict sub
lection. These are Canada, the United
States, Cuba and Brazil; and are the only
stable governments on the Continent. The
want Of private character and public spirit;
the rage Of faction, and the hopeless state
Of anarchy, in all Che countries where the
races are mixed, put the question Of misce-
genation out Of the tot mooted problems.
Whether as in Mexico, Peru, &C., we, have
l. 3 / 2
Spanish and Indian mixed, whether as in
Central America, Guiana, &C., we. have
English, French or Spanish, and Negro OF
Indian, or whatever race mixed with what
ever race, the result is still the same
community preyed upon by vices fatal tc
Its existence. From all these cases is
drawn the great lesson, that social equality
brings amalgamation and amalgamatiol
brings ruin. The prejudice Of the naughty
.ISpaniard TO the Indian and Negro was al
great as that of the Southerner is to day
i Yet it gave way in time.

give us lift in this important matter.
