On pages II and Is we ind the following
questions propouuded and answered by the
Author
"Ouestion What is the best and only true
remedy for the present and prospective troubles
now bre2ing IN the United States, between the
White Peopls epd the Negroes?
Answer. An absolute and eternal separation
of the two races
Question. How could the separation here pro-
posed be speedily and prudently Effected?
Answer. by giving full and formal notice to
The negroes-eyery cne of them, including the
pqlattoes, the 4uadroons, the octoroons, AID all
the other non whites that, after the 4th OF July,
1875, their presence would be no longer required
nor tolerated north of the northern boundary Of

the negroes, who are fast becoming a consum
mate and unbearable nuisance, light be effectu-
ally separated from that really estmable portion
Of the people of the Uaited States-the white
people-who while they are eminenty worthy,
are ALSO enlightened and progressive?
Answer. Yes. All impure comp exionable
persons, of whatever nationality, whether black
Or brown, whether negroes, or Indians or Chi
Rese, or bi-colqred bybrds, now resident of the
United States, might [foF the present at least

there, under suitable regulations, required to

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 controlling motive-what should
,unfailingly constitute one of the great and ultl
mate ends at which we should aim?
Answer. We should so far yield to the evi
deEt designs and purposes of Providence, as to
be botd wiling and nxous to see the negroes,
like the Indians aud all other etfate and dinsy-
hued races, gradually extermuated from the face
of the whole earth"
From pages Is, 70 and so, we cory the fol-
lowing:
"Why il Massachusetts greater State than
South Carolina? Because, while Massachusetts
is inhabited chiefly by industrious and enter
.prising white people, South Carolina is bur-
'dened by large and lazy commonalty of mean
spirited aud good for nothing blacks. Why is
New York greater State than Virginia? Be
cause, while New York is white with Anglo
Saxons and Anglo Americans, Virginia is black
with Congo negroes and Guinea nisgers. Why
is Pennsy lvania greater State than North
Carolina? Because, while Pennsylvania is
blessed With population of heaven, descended
and heayen- destined Caucasans North Carolina
,is cursed With tenantry of hell hatched and
hell doomed Philippians. How pay kentucky
become great State as Ohio? BY waiting
until Nature shall have shown all the kentucky
.Quasheess and Dinahs the way into the Nam
moth Cave, or into some other vast subterra-
.pean cavity, or into the whirlpools of the Mis-
sissippi, or into the labyrinthian wilderness of
some foreign country, and then by being very
particular not to show any of them the way out
again, and by filling their places with race of
,mankind,-a white race, fit to live longer up.
