and AMERICA? Why is the elephant of
Africa different from the elephant Of
Asiay Why were not the camel and
the horse originally found in America 7
why haas the Asiatic camel two bumps
while the dromedary has only one, and
the cameleopard none at ally Why is
the ourong outang (thc wild man ofthe
woods) only found in Asia and Africa ?
>Aad why is the African ourang- outang
black while that Of Asia is brown?
And as 1T pleased the great Creator to
make species Of plants and trees, and
BIRDS, hrutes and fishes, is it not rea
sonable to suppose that He also crea.
ted different species OF men ? and as.
signed to one as to the other, distinct
and separate homes. Would it not be
irrational to suppose that in the crea-
ton Of nan, God would depart from
His universal law? Yes. While ali Il Q
races Of men are Of the same genius

wise God; and are at0ned for by the
same Divine Savior, the species OF men
are rs distinct from each other as are
the species OF plants, and birds and
brutes and fishes. And as the oak diff.
fers from the hickory, and the apple
rom the peach; as the eagle differs
from the owl, and the vulture from the
dove as the right whale differs from
the dolphin, and the shark from the
shad so, also, do the various races or
m>n differ one from another.
But il seems to me-, my friends. that
there are other facts which establish the
plurality of the human races, beyond
reasonable doubt. Less than four cen
turtles and a half ago, there was not one
single person in Europe, Asia, or Airi.

ct OF, to Inn, new species of trees
that the birds, the beasts and fishes
were also neN and strange, and hence
he was not surprised to find Il distinct

%rieties Of man, Now, from what cOun-
try did these trees, and men, and birds,
and beasts and fishes come? How
could they come from any other land
when no other land contained like men,
or birds, or beasts, or fishes? From
whence did they come? From the
same source that similar creations in
Asia, and Africa and Europe game
from the hand Of God, our Father and
Creator, and they were made where
they were found in America.

THE WARNING.
The condition of Mexico and Peru
should he sufficient to guard us against
the banctul consequences of the inter
m xture of distinct and inharmonious
races ofmen. Alike subjugated by the
Spaniards, and the negro element in.
troduccd into both countries, they set
out together on the downward course
of the adulteration of blood. And
from the mixture of three distinct races
there sprang more than twenty Mon
grel crosses.
In speaking of their condition, Tsch-
udi. Il learned German traveller, re-
marks: "As a general rule, it may be
fairly said that they unite in themselves
all the faults. without any OF the vir-
tues, of their %progenitors; as men they
are generally inferior to the pure races,
and rs members of society they are the
worst class of citizens
Anarchy, rapine, unbridled license
and degeneracy are the characteristics
Of all Mongrel breeds of men. And,
yet, in the name of philanthropy, an
effort is hcing made, by the leaders of

d cou iit,on Of things which would in
e,ltabI} result in Monsrelism or ex
termination.
Ii is Tor you, my cOuntrymen, to de
tcrmine whether these evils shall bc
ayertrd. The responsibility is yours.
You cannot avoid it, if you would, and
your cheeks should crimson with shame
at the thought of evading such q re-
s~ponsibility, even if you could. The
issue is plain. 1t is the choice between
white anil black--between negroes and
white men. No one a be deceived.
The Republican leaders have declared
for negro equality ; while the Democ-
racy are in favor of the supremacy of
white men. He. who votes for u Re-
publican candidate, thereby votes in IA
vor of the negro, and against the white
man. And if Republicans be elected
to the Legislature, they will vote in ia
vor of amending the Constitution ofthe
United States, SO as to force negro sui
TRACE on Ohio, in defiance Of the will OF
Oiioans!
Are you prepared? Never again
will you be calIedto vote at an election
oi such vital moment. All that you
hold dear in the prcsent-all that you
can hope for in the future, are involved
in the issue. Think well; act WORTH
