Eds. appeal; A simple retrospect OF a
hundred years viii suffice to convince us,
that time has made extraordinary chan
ges in politics, If in nothing else. It is
now the fashion OF New England, to
worship the negro, for that superior vir-
tue and intelligence which the white
race car never attain a hundred years
ago it was their fashion 10 sell him. No
doubt, time viii produce otherchanges in
the ~fanaticism Of that peculiar people.
The OK and the crocodile are no longer
worshipped in Egypt, and perhaps a
hundred years hence the negro
will nease to be the divinity of
the P~uritans. Perhaps that same
uubridled fanaticism which nowapotheo-
rizes. the sable son Of Africa may then
commend him 10 the stake, in the place
Of the tribe Of witches, which is now
partly admitted 20 be extinct, to the
great discontinue Of that species Of phil
anthrophy, which seeks the happiness of
humanity, through the suffering Of all
with whom il comes in contact.
