The tri-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1866-1868, 1867-06-25

COPY of which has been sent us by the Au-
thor, Mr.. Helper, with his =" respects and best
wishes" We do not purpose to make re-
view of it-only to give such extracts as
will furnish fair insight of its contents
In the first place, Mr.. H. writes in the service
of the white races of the earth alone, and as
sails all other colors or races of men. He
next denounces Roman Catholicism and
advocates Congress of the leading men of
the world to partition its surface into TWEEN
ty-one grand Republics. Various minor sub
iects are discussed, ALL however, tending to-
wards these three lerding ideas: the destruc-
ton or fossilization of all others except the
fair skinned races of men, and the popula.
ton of earth by such alone; the extinction
of the Romanish religion, and the absorb
ton of all existing nationaities into twenty
one Republics The book is written in
half prophetic strain; loose, flowing style,
occasionally growing in intensity and pow
err. Mr.. H. has exhibited great research,
having collated much curious learning, and
applied it in an exceedingly novel manner.
1t is noteworthy that in political matters he
strikes Secessonists, Copperheads and Black
Republicans for different reasons, but with
equal vigor-and holds that the loyal Dem
ocrats of the nation and white Republicans,
opposed to slavery and the negro, will form
new party upon that basis and expel all
colored races from North America.
On pages IA and Is we find the following
questions propounded and answered by the
Author:
"Question What is the best and only true rem
edy for the present and prospective troubles now
brewing in the United States, between the White
People and the Negroes?
Ansmer. An absolute and eternal separation of
the two races.
Question: How could the separation here pro-
posed be speedily and prudently effected?
Ansmer. By giving full and formal notice to
the negroes-every one OF them, including the
mulattoes, the quadroons, the octoroons, and all
the other non-whites, that after the 4th of July,
1876, their presence would be no longer required
nor tolerated north of the northern boundary of
Mexico, and by assisting them, to limited eX-
tent, to get somewhere lit would matter very lit
tie wherr) sout o. t..t south-moving boundary.
Question. Is there no other manner in which
the negroes who arc fast becoming consum-
mate and unbearable nuisance, might be efectu-
ally separated from that really estimable portion
of the people of the United States-the white
people-who while they eminently worthy,
are also elil9 nLeneQ anu progressive.
ApS'cer Yes. All impure-complexionable per-
sons, of whatever nationality, whether black or
brown, whether negroes, or Indians, or Chinese,
or bi-colored hybrids, now resident of the United
States, might Uor the present at leasD be colo
nized in a State or Territory by themselves, in
Texas or in Arizona, for instance, and there, I'M
der suitable regulations, required to remain
strictly within the limits assigned them.
Question. In any policy which we, the white
people of the United States, may be induced to
pursue toward the negroes, what should always
be with us a controlling motive-what should
unfailingly constitute one of the great and ulti-
mate ends at which we should aim?
Ahsmer. We should so far yield to the evident
designs and purposes of Providence as to be both
willing and anxious to see the negroes, like the
Indians and all other cttete and dingyhued races,
gradually eXterminated from the face OF the whole
earth"
Mr. II. then publishes copious extracts
from various sources, mostly foreign, IN or
der to prove the inferiority of the colored
races to the white.
From page SO, we copy the following,
which is Mr.. Helpers description of negro:
"The night-born ogre stands before us; we
observe his low, rccedng torehead his broad,
depressed nose; his stammering, suffering
speech and his general actions, evidencing mon
key-lke littlcncss and imbecility of mind By
close attention and examination We may also dis
cover in the sable individual before u.s. if indeed
he be not an exception to the generality of his
race, numerous other prominent defeats and de-
fciencies. Admit that he be not rp-jawed,
mailed -tOngued nor tongue-tied, is he not skue
sighted, blear-eyed, or bobber-lipped? If he be
not wry-neeked, Wen marked, nor shouldcr-shot-
ten, is he not stiff-jointed, hump backed or hol
low-bellied? If he be not slab-sided, knock
kneed, nor bowlegged, is he not Ito say the leaSt)
spindle-shanked, cock-heeed, or iut-footcd? If
he be not MANNED, halt, nor blind is he not fever
ish with nfammations, festerings, or fungosities?
Ii he be not afflicted with itch, blans bisters,
does he not squirm under the pains of bois,
burns, or bruises? If he be not the child of con-
tusionsr sprains, nor dislocations, is he not the
man OF scalds, sores, or scabs? If he be not an
endurer OF the aches of pneumonia, pieurisy, nor
rheumatism, does he not feel the fatal eXacerba-
tions of ranking wounds, tumors, or ulcers? If
he be no complainer over the cramps of coughs,
colics, nor constipation, doth he not decline and
droop under the discomforts of dizziness, dropsy,
or dlarrhea? If he be no sufferer from hemor-
rhoids, erysipeas, nor eXfOliatiOn, is he not
victim OF goItre, intumescence or paralysis? If
he experience no Inconvenience from gum-rash,
cholera mOrbus, nor mOOn-madnesS, does he OF
vince under the pangs of the hip-gout, the tape
worm, or the mulligrubs? II he be free from
idiocy, insanity, or syncope is he not subject to
fits, spasms, or commissions Aye, in almost
every possible respect, he is person of ill-pro-
portion, bemish and Disagreement; and no truer
is it that the Turk Tin Europe) is the sick man
of the East, than that the negro Gin America) is
the sick man OF the West Neither the one nor
the other VIII ever recover. The malady OF each
is absolutely incurable. Both are doomed to
take upon themselves-and that very soon-the
cold and inanimate condition of complete FOSSIL
zation.''
From page II we extract the following
the present Congress:
among other black monstrosities which shall
be herein arraigned for castigation, is a high
handed assemblage of conspirators against public
rights, public morals, public safety, publieein-
terests, and public decency, now Cor but REGENTS
ly) organized in the good city of Westinghouse
sectional and seditious assemblage, which shall
be everywhere stigmatized and detested in all
future time, as the Black Congress Without an
open and complete announcement of all past
errors, conjoined with full and solemn promise
of better behavior hereafter, few members of the
Black Congress, whether Senators or Representa-
tives should ever again be elevated to any Office
whether national municipal, or of any other
grade or nature whatever, within the gift OF the
American people. The why's and the wherefores
of this just and necessary structure on the Black
Congress, together with numerous other weghty
and relevant considerations, shall be brought for
ward and adequately explained in due time"
From pages rs, 70 and so, we copy the
following:
"Why is Massachusetts greater State than
South Carolina? Because while Massachusetts,
