Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-08-07

This BRowNLow. now the especial favo-
rite of the negroes and their allies, no later
than 1866, was opposed to their settle
ment in Tennessee and in favor of sending
those already there out of the State. In his
message of April 6, 1856, to the Legislature,
he said:
at is certainly proper and right for the
Legislature of Tennessee to determine to
with the emancipated slaves of other
States. lam, my
self, the advocate of providing for them a
separate and appropriate amount of terri
tory, and settle them down permanently
as nation of freedmen"
Again in his message OF the Sd of Oct,
1865, he says:
"a long and intimate acquaintance with
affairs in the South has convinced me that
the white and colored people cannot live
together, politically or socially, as equals
and therefore all of our legislation should
look to peaceable separation of the two
races on Southern SOIL"
He was bent upon ridding the State of
them. In the same message he advocated
settling them in Texas, and then he says !:
''If this scheme should not strike the Ma
tional Government as plausible, then let
McAlCO Uc CledHcu OuG anu OuT06u over 10
the emancipated slaves Of the South"
IN 1864 HE WANTED TO ExTINGUIsH THE
NEGROES.
In 1864, this same BRowNLow was for
emancipating the slaves for two reasons
One was that it would be the means of ex-
tinguishing the Negro race. In his paper,
the Kno1uille Whig, of May %, 1864, he said /:
"We have never differed with the South
upon the abstract question of slavery, and
do not now differ, and we are free to say
that the condition of the slaves, when lib
Grated, if left in the South, will be worse
that it is ever during their servitude, and
we are for emancipating every negro in the
South, Notwithstanding all this. For TAX
ing this ground we have two controlling
reasons: First it twill be the severest pun
ishment of the Southern rebels that can be
inflicted, and next, it will be the very means
of extin gushing the negro race, as the re-
moval and civilization of the Indian tribes
have tended to extinguish them"
BRowNLow's DEBATE WITH PRYNE.
In the opening chapter of book lie pub
lished in Philadelphia in 1862, shortly after
he was sent through the Confederate lines,
as too mean a man to be tolerated, BROWN
Low says:
'.In September, 1853, was engaged in a
debate upon the slavery question, in Phil
adelphia, with Rev. Abram Pryne, of New
York, in which defended the institution
of slavery as it exists in che South. The
debate was published in Philadelphia, and
exhibits my sentiments upon that great
question, which have undergone no change
since them"
BRowNLOw PROPOSES TO BLOW UP THE
NORTH WITH LUCIFER MATCHES.
[From Letter No. 5, addressed to Prynel
''Carry on your war, if you choose death
rather than life, and zoe loiH stain euery
scamp in the South ,oith yours and our o,on
blood, and with the vengeance of an infu-
rated foe, we will be upon you in the
North, at the hour of midnight, and as long
as lucifer match can be found, we will
burn up your substance"
IN 1860 AGAINST NEGRO EQUALITY.
"Your ignorance of this whole subject,
manifests itself in your clamors about the
equality of the African and Anglo-Saxon
races. This question of race you call upon
me to settle. to your satisfaction. Do you
ask me to make pointer out of a poodle
Do you ask me to make peach out of a
crab apple? Can you change carrot into
a melon? Can you grow an oak from a
peanut? Will donkey produce an Ara
bian horse? Will Polecat produce Lion?
Can you hatch eagles by setting goose on
buzzard eggs? Most certainly not! You
cannot undo what God has intended shall
never be undone. 1t is. therefore, simply
impossible for you to change an African
into an Anglo-SaXon. 1t is a question of
blood-ot race, as have remarked; and
a question far above the capacity of those
who abuse these Southern States on account
of African slavery" W G. .Brotonloto's letter
to PTyne, Nos Oct. 26th, 1860.
WANTS THE UNION MEN TO GO OUT OF THE
s r-. UNION WITH THE SOUTH.
From Letter No. 81
ssBut it might be that this Southern con-
ference would resolve upon going out of
the Union, and what would the Union men
of the Conservative States do? Go soih
them, and go all together at once and at the
same time, although we deny the right of
secession"
Again, in his Kno1uille Whig, BRowNLow
says:
"What shall Tennessee do? Let Tennes-
seeans stand aloot from the madcaps of the
South and the Abolition hordes from the
North, and say to both-stay where you
are, for you both deserve to be ranked in
the damning catalogue of infamy with
Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr."-W. G..
Bro,cnlooo, Kno1uille Whig, April 10Th, 1861.
WANTS THE NORTHERN ABoLI-
TIoNIsIs TO GIVE BACK THE STOLEN
SLAVES.
From letter No. 81
ssThe personal liberty laws of some IF the
Northern States, the refusal of Northern
Governors to deLiuer up fugitiue slaoes aoho
haze been stolen, and some other things that
can be remedied, are real grievances as well
as insults"
HIS OPINION IN 1860 OF HIS PRESENT
NORTHERN ALLIES.

deriRg men for their money! stoedri1ag lies for q

loao's Letter to Pryne, No. s.
ENDORSES THE HANGING OF JOHN BROWN.
--- From Letter No. 81
ssWe are sending our orders to England
and France for goods, and driving your
hell deserving freedom-seeke into the
holding of Union meetings and making
these against their wills, curse all agitatOrs OF
the slavery question, and resolve that John
Brown and his murderous associates got
only justice when hung at Charlestown."
HIS OPINION OF ENGLISH PHILANTHROPY.
"But abolitionism tells us to give these
negroes back their freedom and restore
them to their country, seeing the means by
which they were acquired. Will the Eng
lish give back their lands to the ancient
Britons? Will the New England Aboli
tionists give back the country to the red
man of the forest from whom it was taken
by force? How then expect the Southern
er to give back the personal property that
was left MIN by his sires ?"-W. G.. Bro,on-
LOUIS Letter to Pryne, No. 8, Oct. &c, 1860.
