The Bible teaches that God created
of one blood, all nations, to dwell on all
tho face of the earth that the original
creation, from which has sprung all the
nations and races of men, were man
and woman, named Adam and Eve;
that this first pair were created about
six thousand years ago. Scientific in
vestigation shows that no remains of
the human species are found in forma-
tons of the earth prior to that date, al
though the earth itself has evidently
existed during a period of millions of
years. Men and animals living in a
torrid or burning climate during many
ages and generations, are quite different
from those living in the temperate Gil
mates. Nature accommodates every
living animal and vegetable to the cir
cumstances in which it is placed. These
changes are sudden in some instances,
and in others it takes many ages to ac-
complish this change.
Even in temperate climates, men as
sumo certain pecularites of shape and
appearance One can tell Welsh
man, an Irishman or a Dutchman as
soon MS he sees him The Americans
arc already, in few hundred years,
assuming national pcculiarity as to
size, shape and appearance. The Amer
can is tall, straight, has long legs, red
or sandy hair, and fair complexion.
Compare him with the European, with
his long body, short legs, broad flat
back, and there is more difference, ex-
ccpt in color alone, than there is be-
tween the European and the negro.
That climate and mode ofliying alone
produce the differences among the races,
is almost admitted by the New York
Day Book, although no paper hates the
ncgo more bitterly than it does. The
Dag Book says:

Thus it will be seen that Copperhead le-
gslators, including all their leading repre-
sentative men, acting on the Sharswood
doctrine, strongly opposed measure which
has saved the Commonwealth already over

carried and became law by the active and
earnest efforts of Republican legislators

saud Dollars saved 10 the state.
On the 1st of August 5000 900 will be
paid out of the State Treasury to the holders
of Pennsylvania bonds, for the interest due
on that day. This sum will be paid in Nd-
ttonaJ Currency the lawful money Of the
United States, and not in gold, as Judge
Sharswood and his supporters would have
required.
The act repeating the old law requiring
payment of interest on the debt of the Com
monwealth in coiE, and authorizing pay
ment to be made in National Currency, as it
now stands on the statute books, came from
ne pen of Senator Connell, of Philadelphia,
who, as chairman of the Finance Committee
of the Senate, perfected and reported the
bill, April /, 1854, and supported tho same
in an able speech on that occasion.
The bill was strongly opposed by Sena-
tors Clymer, Wallace and other Democratic
Senators, who then avowed the Sharswood
doctrine that our National Currency was not
legal tender for debt that we were bound
to pay foreign bond holders iE gold or sill
yer, and that payment in the money OF the
United States was reputation; but to the
credit of the Union Republican members OF
the Legislature of 1864 the bill became O
law, and has already saved the State more
than three millions and a half of dollars.
While every Republican in both Houses
voted for the bill, every Democrat, excep
Senator Kinsey, opposed it. We give the
