RACE.

We object to the Acknowledgement of
the negro race. We believe that race
inferior to the Caucasian in such char
acter and degree as to render it fit and
proper in a Republic of such institutions
as has ours, that the Caucasian alone
should bear rule by ballot or in Office.
This was good Black Republican doc
trine, back in sc, when the originals"
mo brag over it) in the Republican
ranks first organized and ran q Presi-
Dental candidate.
But Of late, in the Union party, GER
tain self-styled "leaders" have told US
that we be no true mon if we do not
approve the plan for giving the ballot
to all male citizens, Irrespective of
race"-which is a Broad Church phrase
for the concrete proposition to enfran-
chise negroes and Cinnamon. Because
we object to it, they cry out that we are
"prejudiced," and allege that u pro-
test is of the same character with that
lifted against the Emancipation Procla-
nation, and the arming of negroes dur
ing the warl We quote this absurd
comparison of the newly Matched Radi-
cal champions simply to show the only
fact it does suggest to most Of those in
the Union party whom they now de-
nounce, to-wit: the Rampagers were not
particularly favorable to the Emancipa
ton Proclamation or the arming of the
negroes, but as that was finally APP
proved in full by the people, their mar
row minds and their sordid souls alb
sorbed the idea that hencetorth the
more "Radical" in name-no matter
what is the plan-the surer of popular
success.
But they say all races are equal as
men, although they decently or on a
stress of public showing confess that
there may be permitted. some sort of
social distinctions. But all must vote
at the same batNsebox. All races are
equal as men, and hence should vote on
impartial conditions.
Professor Hockey, the most distin-
guished of modern anthropologists, has
just concluded q series of lectures in
London or the subject to the study of
which he has devoted his life. Prof.
Hockey is a protested Christian, q mem
Der of the Anglican Church, and de-
sirous, if possible, by his Investigations
to show that all men are Of one blood.
He so announced. Very well : he makes
a close examination of all races Of men,
as varied opportunity presents, and he
concludes: " can link together all the
races of the earth, except the negro"
The negro he cannot anthropologically
bind with any other race upon the face
of the earth. But he finds that wherein
the negro differs in his life element"
the Blood, from other races, he is Elm
ferior." Is Science "prejudiced?"
Need we again refer to History for
proofs of the negro's absolute inferior
ity? There is no other testimony. The
assertion that the negro was the builder
of ancient Thebes and Memphis has
been overthrowa by the in~disputable
testimony of Ledyard and Bayard Tay-
lor and others,-as we have heretofore
quoted them.
Science and History plainly oncur in
placing the negro rae as an inferior.
Some Merchandising politicians have
been and are mistaken in thinking other
wise. Many politicians, who are hypo-
critics, have made a mistake in suppos-
ing that the advocacy of alteration
equality was the way to achieve or re-
tain high office.
