the plantations and are going to work
with a heartiness which promises, I'M
less disturbed by aagitious counsel,
aided by bitterness and hostility which
may be engendered, to establish set
tied harmony between the races. IL is
the true policy of the United States.
=. 1t is the duty and the interest Of the
white race of the South, as far us pos
sible, to cultivate the feelings of kind
illness which have heretofore existed
towards the blacks and to avoid an
tagonism. And it is essential to the
well being and continued existence of
the black race. Madness and folly
alone can council hostile relationsi 4
There are in the ten States. put I'M

whore the antagonism is B already
brought about, eight millions of
whites. In these States, there were at
the opening Of the war, four millions
Of blacks. But we see it computed by
high authority in the North, that more
than one million Of them persisted
during and since the war. Judging
from the mortality which has taken
place amongst the negroes, in South
Carolina, since emancipation was en-
forced, this computation appears to us
most reasonable. Here, then, are two
races, the one the stronger race, with
population of eight millions the
other, the weaker race, witha popula \
ton of three millions. In every one Of
the Southern States, the white popula-
ton has majority, excepting in
South Carolina and Mississippi. Is
it wise--is it humane, to throw these
two races in antagonism against each
other?
Amalgamation is an impossibility.
After centuries of union, the Irish
have not been identified with the
glish-the Pole with the Russian
the Hungarian with the Austrian. All
these people were Of the same race
the Caucasian race, But here, in our
Southern country, the two races in
habiting it are of different races the
one the highest-the other the most
inferiorrace in the world the one the
other day the master-the other the
slave; the one black the other white,
To throw these two races into antagon-
ism for political power and mastery
must introduce contention and hate,
and il continued, the determination Of
the inferior race. Yq
If the North American Indian had
assumed the position ofinferiority his
inferior nature required, he might
have lived and multiplied in associa-
ton with the white race but he dis
dained inferiority-he sought indie
pendence and equality, and is swept
away before the advancing step of the
white man, to the foot of the Rocky
Mountains.
That is the worst effect of the mill
tary act to bring the black and white
race in the South into hostile antago-
nism, we suppose there can be no
doubt The policy Of the act is, by
giving suffrage to the negro, to unite
them against the white race; and, by
the aid and management of few white
men in the South, called Southern 10y
alists-to take possession of the
governments of the Southern States;
and to rule them in subordination to
the Radical party Of the North.
Now, union amongst men, to wrest
any object of magnitude and impor-
lance from others, naturally creates
union amongst those who are to be
deprived The Union and organiza,
ton of the negroes at the polls, to
seize the governments of the Southern
States-must produce union amongst
the white people to prevent it. IA
And in the union of the white race,
let it not be supposed that it will be
partial only, and feeble. There were
in the Southern country
who, when the issue was Secession or
Union, went for the union of the Uni
ted States. This was most natural
But when the issue is, which race shall

white race. This, also, is most natu-
raj. 80
Those who have instituted and are,
now carrying on the policy of ruling
he Southern States, by the union Of |
,he black race, should remember no W

therefore, of the course of these races.
they thought that the non stakeholder

would assist them in subjugating the
south. The non Shareholders were
their sternest enemies They
hought that the negro would rise in
nsurrection at their bidding, and kill
heir masters. They worked, sympa-
hized with, and stood by their mas
ers; until emancipation was forced
pon them. They are now all over

eace with the white race, than has
Xisted since the war. Mie'
Let the white race remember these
Kings. They are the stronger race,

hem act with great patience and for
earance towards the black race-seek

IL they can by peaceful organizations

nendurable and in the end must prove i
