suMNER.s RaoonY MANIFESTO

The keynote Of the blood thirsty
wishes of the Abolition Radicals was
struck in the United States Senate re-
Gently BY Senator Summer. Of 1.Iassaehu-
setts, when be said: Ii
@The freedmen. though forheaiing and
slow to anger, will not submit to outrage
always. lie will resist, resistance will be
organized, and here will begin the tcrfi-
bic war Of races foresech BY JtsfeIsen,
where God, in all His attributes, has none
which can take part with the oWpressors.
The tragedy cf st. Domingo viii bo re-
newcd on a wider theatre, with bIoodfer
incidents. BE warned by this historic
precedent. II was the denial Of rirhtyto
|colored people, after excessive promises,
which caused that fearful insnrrectien.
After various vicissitndes. during which
the rights of citizenship wore conferred
on free people Of color and then rekumad,
the slaves at last rose, aud hero the soul
|sickeas at the RECITAL. 1

black Of unmixed blood, who placed him
self at the head of his race, showing the
genius Of war and the genius of states
manship also. Tndor his magnanirnous
rule the beautiful island began to smile
once more; agriculture revived conffneree
took new start, the whites were pro-
teeted in persons and property. and
constitution vas adopted ackn0W sing
the authority of Frances but making no
distinction on account of color or race
In an evil hour this policy was reversed
by decree Of Napoleon Bonaparte; war
revived, and the French army was Com
PEELED to suecumb; the connection Of St.
Domingo with France was broken, and
this island became black republic.
All this dreary catalogue of murder,
battle, sorrow and woe, bsgun in the do
nial of justice TO the colorpd race, And
only recently we have listened to silni-
lar tragedy from Jamaica, thus swelling
the terrible testimony. Like causes pro-
duee like effects. therefore ali this viii be
ours if we madly persist in tho same de-
nial of justice. <k
The freedmen among Us are not unlike
the freedmen Of ST Domingo or Jamaica;

the same sense of wrong, and the same
revenge passing from the necessity of the
case"
The Eastern Infernals having succeeded
in exciting war between the white races
of the North and theSouth, are now doing
their best TO stimulate the blaeksste rise
upon the whites, and commence an indis-
criminatc murder and pillage, for col.
ored insurrection means that and nothing
else. IF that is ever commenced, let not
aIr. Sumner and his compeers suppose
that it will end as it did in HAITI and
Jamaica. In those unfortunate islands
the negroes werc ten to one Of the whites,
but in the South they constitute but little
more than third of the population, and
in only two States do they number as
many as the whites. 4 war of races
would lead to the determination or REIN
slarement of the black There is moth
ing, in our judgment, more certain than
that. Mr.. Summer has made fatal error
if he supposes the negro viii ever walk to
the ballot-box over the corpses of the
whites, or that he will ever obtain. social
