prchension We are told the Ethio-

have indnbiiablc evidence that the
Caucasian can change his nature aud
principles TO suit those Of the negro;
and we are forced to tho conclusion
that " the present strange doctrines
are fully carried out, but few genera
tions will pass away before the Eth
opian will become a Rtiie whittier and
the Caucasian a great deal blacker.
We would not impugn any mans
motives. Whatever course, after ma
ture deliberation, man conscien-
tiously believes to be right, that he
ought to pursue. II those heading
the present radical movement in the
South conscientiously believe that the
negro is the equal of the white man,
and entitled to the same rights and
privileges, they ought, by all means,
to assist him in securing those rights
and privileges. IL they believe that
secession was a great crime and that
all who participated in the late wal
are traitors and criminals, meritinp
the severcst punishment, they may
be legally excusable in abandoning
their old comrades in crime, turning
United States evidence, and thereby
aid in bringing the monstrous rebels
to condign punishment. If they
