SCIENCE AGAINST THE M1scE-
9ENATION RADICALS,

Samuel Is. Weue, Oh tue nrm Oh row
Ter & Wells, and editor Of the Phreno-
logical Journal, has recently published
q work Of great value, written BY him,
and containing on very important sub
jeets the results Of his long and careful
observation and study. Il is entitled
"Nsw Physiology;" is a book Of 100
pages, and over ono thousand illustra-
tons. It may be purchased at Lille &
Co.'s, or ordered through Begle.
Speaking of "The Future American"
Opp. ~4ll-4ls) Prot. Wells says:
"Some late writer's, accepting the
doctrine that the American climate is
unsuited to the pure Caucasian, And a
refuge against humiliation in the tho
DRY of the blending Of the races, white,
black, yellow and red, the offspring of
which-,he future Amsricsn-will DO
the composite and cosmopolitan 6ropn
man-the true monarch Of the world"
Prof. Wells says, tive are told in a
late publication
The ideal or type mar of the future
will blend in himself ell that is passion
ate and emotional in the dark races, all
that is imaginative and spiritual in the
Asiatic races, and all that is intsllec-
tual and perceptiys in the white races.
He will also be composite as regards
color. The purest miseegan (mixed
man) will be brown, with reddish
cheeks, curly and waving hair, dark
eyes, and q fullnsIs and suppleness OF
| form not now dreamed Of BY any indi-
yidual people. or course tho old races
| will not DO entirely lest sight Of. Ma
ture abhors uniformity, and while the
highest and purest type will be such as
we have described, there will be all
shades Of color, from white to black"
Commenting upon the above extract
from the "Miscsgenasion" textbook,
written by q foremost Radical, Prof.
Wells remarks:
"The God-given instincts Of every
properly constituted white man or wo-
man furnish q sufficient refutation Of the
theory Of miscegenstion, so far at least
az it relates to two races 30 widely sep
aratcd as the negro and the Caucasian,
and we may spare all argument.
We may remark, however, that whether
o mixture Of blood shall result in a COM
pound superior to either of the ingredi-
snts, or inferior, depends upon the
adaptation Of the n to the other.
Some mized races are powerful than
their ~progenitoSs on either side; but
everybody knows, or ought to know,
that this ia not the cass with the Off
spring of a union between the black and
the white races. The m~ulatto, though
superior to the negro in intellect, is in
ferior to both the black and the white
man in physical strength and endur-
ance; and the mixed race always either
becomes absorbed in y or the other
Of the pure [distinct1 races, or else
speedily dies out"
Again, on page 467, after speaking OF
the best specimens Of the "miscegen"
in this country-Rock, Turner and
others-Prof. Wells, (who has always
been IN abolitionist, says:
"There are those, as We have said,
who rest their hopes for the future Of
this country upon q mixed race, grow
ing out of a union between the black
and the white races, with such an inter-
mingling of aboriginal American and
Mongolisn blood as may DO a~ttainsble.
These theorists show little respect for
the God-ordained Laws Of Nature.
Facts are against them. The mulatto
is often highly gifted intellectually, but
be 10 not generally robust in body, and
marriages between persons of this class
are not apt to be fruitful, certainly not
prolific. Their children are less so, if
not entirely barren, as mulattoes Of the
third degree, We believe, always are.
chronological science has settled the
question in advance Of the political
theorist. There can be no permanent
mulatto race"
