feetness; and to the other strength, en-
durance and other valuable qualities. so
He distinguished between the negro and
white man. To the former he has
given black skin and woolly head,
greater strength and less BRAIN He has
adapted him to labor, and given him pores
which defy malaries and tevers. 10 the
other He has given white skin and
head of hair less strength and larger
brain, adapted to higher thoughts. and
greater intellectual Improvements.
But God loves his whole creation
equally, and it is to be presumed that he
has the same regard for the owl that he
has for the eagle, and so with the jackass,
the white man and the negro, provided,
always, that the one is as faithful in the
discharge of his mission on earth as the
other. tits by no means crime or fault
on the part of the jackass, that he can
not run as swiftly as the horse. Ho was
not created for such feetncss; and SO with
the negro, he has not been endowed by
God with the same volume OF brain that
tue white man has, and he is not to
blame for being unable to compete with
him in science and knowledge. He is an
inferior animal to the white man. God
| made him such as he is for wise purposes,
as he made the ass inferior to the horse.
1t is as foolish to think of making poets,
artists and statesmen out of negroes as 1T
would be to make race horse or spirited
charger in battle out of jackass You
may give the negro the right OF suffrage
and the right to hold office, and make
him a legislator; and so you may enter
the ass for tour-mile heat with the
blooded horse, or you may mount him in
battle Tor charge on the enemy; but both
would be equally unwise and disastrous,
for you are attempting to pervert nature
and the laws of God.
Professor Agasssiz, of Harvard Col
.legc, Massachusetts, the most learned and
scientific naturalist the world has ever
produced, declares most confidently, after
lifetime Of thought and observation on
the subject, 'that the negro and the white
man were created as specifically different
as the owl and the eagle. They were de-
signed to fill different places in the sys-
TEN of nature. The negro is no more a
negro by accident or misfortune than the
owl is the kind of bird he is by accident
or misfortune The negro is no more the
white mans brother than the owl is the
sister OF the eagle, or than the ass is the
brother of the horse" "Thcre are, says
the same great authority, cover one hun
dred specific differences between the bonal
and nervous system of the white man and
the negro Indeed their forms are alike
in no particular. There is not bone in
the negro's body relatively of the same
shape, size, articulation, or chemically OF
the same composition, as that Of the white
man. The ncgro's bones contains far
greater per centage of cacarcons salts
than those of the white man. Even the
negro's blood is chemically q very differ
ent fluid from that which courses in the
veins of the white man. The whole physi-
cal organization of the negro differs quite
as much from the white man as it does
from that of the chimpanzcc-that is. in
his bones, muscles, nerves and tibres. The
chimpanzee has not much further to pro-
gress to become negro than the negro
has to become white man. This fact
science inexorably demonstrates.
1t is agreed by all scientific men who
have turned their attention to this subject
that the capacity, by measurement, Of
the skull of The white man is ninetyscvcn
cubic inches, that is, the average Of one
thousand or any greater number of skulls,
The negro has sixty-six cubic inches; the
North American Iudian has sixty-threc
cubic inches; the native Australian has
ffty-six cubic inches. Sir Charles Lyall.
than whom there can be no higher au-
thority, says the feet and hands, the arms
and legs of the white man and negro are
unlike in measurement. The hand of the
negro is one-twelfth larger and one-tenth
broader than the hand of the white man;
his foot is one-eighth longer and one-ninth
broader than the white mans; his fore
arm is onc-tenth shorter, and the same is
true of the bones from the knee to the
ankle. The skeleton is unlike in the
whole in weight and measurement, and
unlike in every bone ofit.
In the most admirable speech of the
Hon. w. Mungen, of Ohio, lately delivered
in Congress, (and to which [ am greatly
indebted for much that have said,) it is
boldly asserted, on the authority Of sci
entifc men, that the world does not afford
an instance of muatto in the fifth gen
Grafton. The hybrid race become extinct
after the fourth generation, unless they
have intermiXcd with one or the other of
the original races. So it is with all ami
mails. The mule docs not breed at ALL
The wolf and jackal, the dog and fox,
have produced hybrids which always be-
come extinct in the third generation
These animals, like the negro and white
man, were regarded, at one time, as only
different varieties of the same species
But experiment shows them to have been
different creations, as it does the negro
and white man.
