the following paragraphs:,
The co!ored man and the white man cannot

Our fnal destiny. as far as Tcan dimly see,
is that in three hundred years it will be a
rare thing to see q colored mani in this coun-

One power must rule, and the other will
not be.pleased; and if we don't separate, in
less than three hundred yearsthe colored man
in this country. will be a color between the,
Canadian. Indian andthe inhabitants Of India.
This country, gentlemen, is not ours in. my

The.immigration Of the white race from
Europe mustincrease, Whilst the immigration,
of the black race must decrease, as the slave

Moreover, experience teaches that mo two

That the United States Government iutond, tc
carry out thoroughly every principle of justice in
tho restoration Of private rights and property in
its uss and under its control now in the South We
do not for moment doubt. It has already e1-
hibitod praiseworthy indications Of its policy in
that respect. We hero with much satisfaction
noticed recently the restoration by government,
of the rlrious Railroade and sundry other private
properly throughout the South to their legal rep
rossntativcs and owners. This, NC reconsider right,
just, and at least eonsiliatory. For government
to pursue any contrary policy, in cur opinion ut
this time would be ut once to publish acts viola
tive Of its character fsrequity, and Of its avowed
generous and nsgnanimoua feelings toward q
crushed and fallen peopls..., We do net believe
that it will. To encourage, restore sad foster
concord, prosperity aad happiness AMONG all
GLASSES and professions Of our people, we'bclieve
will be the aim of our government and thatith
ain viii be steadily and respectfully pursued.
While therefore, we 6ave been much pleased with
the nets and straightforward and constitutional
course Of President Johnson thsS.far, In his Off
cial life, and With his integrity notwithstanding de-
termination to do what he fcels to be rightin NIL
things, We yet have to learn of Tho rs. step taken
by proper authority,to restores to their rightful
owners the many Southern Newspapers, which
have been for somc timo past aIId arc new, in the
possession and under the control of government.
These papers toail intsnts and purposes are pri-
pate property, and aided the laFo Southern Con:
federacy in our opinions. moi nea as much, as did
the NOW restored Southern Railroads, upon which
tie armios and munitions and pataphernalis of
uarof relate Confedsr2cJ Fere constantly trans
ported. The damages sustained by newspaper
propriotors by the stepPsgp and the conversion of
their journals into. other channels Of use, cannot
DC estimated. By this courte thoir employment or
busiaess ceased. BY it atuo their support and
the subportof their families ceased. Besides, in
the restoration of this proretty,aow that the war
ia ovor, the onds of government can 10 relIl and

they ever have been, or ever can be through tho

pennad in no. spirit Of dctation, we hope it will
