the niger was freed and their sweetness
dissolved away in tranquil and placid JOY
as they recapitulated the blessings
about to accrue to the poor white trash
by his miscegenation with Sambo. An
appeal was made to the heavenly seven

requires no demonstration on my part to
prove satisfactorily, that a white man is
nearly as good as a niger, if he behaves

Caesar was q niger, Alexander was q
niger, Bonapart was q niger, the Apos.
