PROTECTION FOR THE NEGRO.

sumed in efforts to degrade the white race to the
level of the negro. Scarcely day passes that
some bill or resolution is not reported or passed,
looking TO the ultimate equalization of the white
and black races. It ought to be remembered
that every project brought forward by the radi-
cal Aboitionists in either branch of Congress,
and which in any manner affects the negro, is
designed in the end to lessen the distance be-
tween him and the white population of the coun-
try. Allrevolutons ofthis SORT are brought about
with caution, step by step, so that the peo-
ple not seeing the real object, may be led to be.
lieve that this or that privilege conferred npon
the negro, is of too small moment to dispute
about. In this way nations have been deceived,
and suffered one right after another to be wrest-
ed from them, until at last they found them
selves shorn of all the rights privileges and
powers, which, as free people, they once pcs
ssed.
So with this doctrine of equalization of the
white and black races. The accomplishment of
this object is not attempted in single act or
resolution, but in many, so that the deception
attempted may the more easily be Effected
This we see by many of the measures passed and
reported from the var;ous corn,;t,oo, 90 oooh
