TIKI sTETEBFUGES OF CPPEEs-
SION.

1t is the systematic resource of those who
would use political and social power selfshly
and uuscrupuiously to represent their victims
Us creatures Of an inferior nature, to whom
ordinary justice as between man and man is
not due. The Roman plebeians were written
down base, mechanic slaves by the Roman pa
trcians TIE feudal lord claimed absolute
power Of life and death over the serf, and over
The persons of the family of the serf-a power
3n kind precisely like that which he exercised
over his horses and oxen; and this he based
npOn the innate inferiority of his servants. So
when an unreconstructed patriarch gets volu-
1le, he pourS ont string of cOmmonplaces
about the incapacity of the negro. He is stupid.
He is lazy. lie lis clumsy. He is liar. He is
sensual He is thriftless. He is treacherous.
JIe has every vice under the sun. and not
single cOmpensating virtue. 1t is in this way
that forlOrn planters talk TO special correspond
ents, who make due report of these dismal
and malignant yarns. By and by, we
shall have quantities Of the same stuff reeled off
in Congress again. Already, an honorable gen.
feman from New-YOrk, has taken upon himself
TO deny the proposition that the Black is the
equal to the White" Whoever does assert such
proposition "infames passions and keeps up
sectional excitement" That's the talk A
furious White man shoots an unoffendng freed
man, and you must say nothing Of precautions
against multiplied repettiOns Of such barbarity,
because d good, kind Christian protest would
"a, o,1 l-on
ment" planter cheats his labOrers out of their
wages, and we must keep still about it, because
10 make q noise would "infame passion" To
ask common rights for colored men is "to keep
mp sectional excitement" All this is based
.npon the assumption Of the ingrained, hopeless,
incorrigible and inevitable inierOrity of the
black He is not even the equal of horses; for
no one is permitted to cruelty beat and starve
his horse. He is below pigs in the scale of Gre
alton. for pigs are well fed as matter Of good
policy. He must live in a limbo, neither man
nor beast, with none of those privileges assured
which belong to the one or the other.
A Southern mOurner, bereft Of his chatteS
and weeping for his scattered gangs, can have
no sweeter consolation than to hear the repre-
sentative Of Free State spouting these par
adozes and platitudes, and indirectly doing his
best to make the Rebellion respectable. For
that is what it amounts to- after all 1t was
the ohense of the North that it regarded the
Black as human being. 1t is still the sin of
the North that it seeks to secure to the Black
the rights and immunities of human being.
Let Mr.. Chanler have his way and there is not
despondent planter who will care one penny
for the mere names of Slavery and Freedom.
The sovereignty of the White race" says the
honorable member, 'must be maintained" Soc-
eysigntp-mark the word II means "suprem-
acy,'" supreme power, royalty" Well; ifthe
supremacy Of the white race be according to
the law of God and of Nature, we tell the
honorable gentleman from New-York that,
failing TO bring in o bill for the establishment
of Slavery, he is recreant to his professions,
false to his principles, and shamefully oblivious
OF his own philosophy. He has no business to
acquiesce in Emancipation. He is wretchcd
coward if he is afraid to argue openly for tht
fresh, prolonged, Eternal Enslayement Of the
Blacks. Without this there can be 10 White
supremacy" Without this, there can be no
Supreme power" Of the superior race"
Without this there can be no light.colored
royalty"
There are, it appears, AZ gentlemen in our
House OF Representatives who by their vote
upon Mr.. Farnsworths Resolutions, announced
TO the world that they do not believe
/. That all just powers Of government are de-
rived from the consent Of the governed.
2. That just government should secure full
protection to all in the enjoyment Of their in
alicnabe rights.
5. That taxation and representation should
be inseparable.
4. That loyal Blacks who fought for our lib
cry should be entitled to their own.
nlustrious forty-two You are all white, we
believe, and yet your "supremacy" seems TO be
"rathe' upon the dwinde." fellow feeling
ought certainly to make you little kinder to
the colored people. Amt you both in the same
