Dg~Ex. Governor jenkins, of South
Carolina, in a recent letter disposes of
the Anglo Africans in two or three
sweeps of his pen. He thinks "the
negro race will now run out, for they
needed the strong arm of the white
man to protect them. 1t is now with.
drawn, and they will perish as the In
dians did. Beng connected, as we
are, with a great continent teeming
with the energetic white man, this
race will press down the great Alle-
gheny backbone from Pennsylvania
Virginia, and North Carolina, and
gradually, in time, settle al! along the
ridges and spurs which make down
tho mountain TO the sea coast, and
press upon the less vigorous race until
they are driven down to the alluvia
bottoms Of our rivers, and thence down
to the sea coast and warmer section
where they will finally live on shrimps
oysters, and fish and whatever they
can gather of the spontaneous produc
tions ofthe widest regions, and finally
perish out rs q race.
