No man who has read HECKER'S Epi'

thinking man who has not, will doubt
that Nations have their periOdEof insau.
ity, their accesses Of delirium, confirmed
manis, incursble dementia, hsllucina'
tons and monomania, like individuals.
When the first crusade was preached, aI
Christendsm was insane. Revolutionary
fury is dementia. New England has
never beer free Of mOnomania, some
times on one subject, sometimes on an
other. To-day it is ~spirituslism, to-mor-
row free-love, another day free-religion-
ism and its latest and longest attack
has been caused by the negro. It was
long q monomaniac on the subject OF
emancipation. Now it is so on that OF
education Of the black race and con-
ferring on them the right Of suffrage.
We have spoken Of the lunacy Of the
Nation in connection with the public
debt and the currency. 1t is still more
paIpsbly insane in its follies and vagaries
in regard to the negro. What but the
most confirmed dementia could dream Of
the possibility Of constituting a perma-
nent aud well ordered State Of two dis
tinet races OF men, one Ethiopian, the
other Caucasian, one far superior to the
eother in intellect and mental energy, one
naughty, proud, sensitive, cultivated,
used TO freedom and domination from
their birth, the other s~ervile, vindictive,
obtuse, semi-barbarous, used frem their
birth to slavery, obedience and obsequi-
ousness one white and the other black
and these invested with equal political
rights, and ineesssntly taught by mis-
chievous Intermediates that the whites
have always been their enemies and
Oppressors.
It is inevitable that one or the other
ofthese races must succumb. They can
not live together as equals. How can
any one imagine this possible? 1t is
doubtful il they could long live together
under any circumstances. The Noors
and Jews Of Spain had no political rights
but they were OdiOus to the Spanish race,
and were at last exiled, each in a body,
by 8 general ediet. We may remember.
also, the Punishment Of the GEchupins,
or natives Of Old Spain, from Mexico.
There has never been a real peace, either
IN santo Domingo or Jamaica, between
the whites and negroes, since the latter
were emancipated. The Indians Of
Mexico and Peru eternally dream Of re.
covering their independence. A law Of
nature torbids the living together Of the
two races as equals. sympathy is the
cohesive force that binds societies and
States together. There ,gds sympathy
between the whites and negroes, while
the latter we're slaves. Since emancipa-
lion that sympathy has been changing
into antipathy. Not only is there the
"irrepressible conflict" between white
and black labour, which makes the Irish
intensely hate the negro, bnt the irwin
chile repugnance Of the superior race 10
sharing political power with their inferi-
ors, who they know cannot safely be
trusted with it, and especially with any
influence, direct or indirect, in legisl&-
ton, which for the most part deals with
ouestions and subjects that affect
property.
1t would have been very difficult, after
fhe sudden emancipation Of a whole
semi-savags race, for the wisest states
men to maintain harmonious relations
bstween the races, and prevent the ex-
~t5rnation OF one by the other. As If to
make hvrmony impossible as if to make
a. certain that freedom should be the
h.ne and curse OF the negro, our states
