IogoWmaNa uNdcr the influence OF the
in!criormc>s, is an impossibility. We
think Jowcvcr, he is mistaken in SUP
posing, that .hcrc is any ignorance on
this point, by the Radicals. They know,
perfectly well, The incapacity O! the nc.
gro race, to appreciate or to carry on
free government; and arc now using
him for tho express purpose Of destroy
ing free government in tho United
States, and Of erecting centralized
1c3polism in its stead. They arc con-
spIrators not only against humanity
bat liberty. Mr.. Munsen says:
"l( the whites, The negroes, Indians,
Chinese, and Esqmimaux, arc all alike,
mean the races or types alike, IN all
that goes to make up and constitute
their humanity, the humanity Of oac!.
race, alike IN their intellectual capacities,
their anatomical structures, their physi-
oIoGical Developments. and their lon.
$cviLy, then our Radical friends may
with some degree Of propricty aud as
&urancc call them "mcn and brothers"
| admit their humanity, that they arc
all mon AMI not monkeys but deny
Tho 'bro,hc hool;' | deny tho lratcrni-
ty.
"lr support Of This proposition I would
say:
81. They 10 not look alike; no two
OF The types or races look alike; they
arc unlike III form, in color, in szo and
weight.
"2. They arc unlike in each and
every point and particular which diatin.
guishcs men Aom beasts as above sta.
tcd--in shape, III weight, IN height and
also in the duration Of li(c."
lis appeal to Cranioscopy is very for.
ciblc. lie says:
but quite TIC most curious, and per.
hars the most important discovery
which cranloscopy has malo relates to
The position which each typo holds in
the scale Of civilization. 1t is found
that ,hn races o(mcn whose brain meas
m,a yLy ionr cubic inches or less arc
always bnrharous and hca!hcn people,
that they have not intellectual power
sufficient TO frame a government nor to
enact fws; i'll other words, TO make for
themselves any form OF government bet.
lcr,than hcatlcniSm makes. The races Of
;:icn whose Dram measures from seventy.
fonr to ciShty-our cubic inches arc the
nnprogrcssvc people. They are half
civilized or hal. harbaroua the govern.
mcnts they found are always dcspolic;
the laws they enact arc always peculiar,
and arc different from The laws enacted
by any other type Of pcopic.
"rhc people Of China, Japan, India
in short, Tho creator portion Of The
types Of man -arc embraced and inclu
dcd between &ixty-cight and eighty four
cubic inches OF brain.
Tho nationalitics whose brain meas
nrcs nincty-lour cubic inches or up.
ward arc the cn!y nationalitics who are
progressive and enlightened, who

"Cranloscory maps out the types and
shows to what countries they belong:
what realms produce each type that
they are never produced except in those
realms; that race and climate arc
inscparably connected with typo and
form, and that science and civilization
are also mscparablo.
physiology testifcs that the types
OF man arc different creations because
disease Affects them differently. The
negro will live and enjoy good health
where tho white man will die suddenly

but will multiply typo or race RAPIDLY
