amalgamation of the white with the red
race produced light red or orange
color, which creates sub-variety, and
thus the great number Of sub-yarieties
have been called into existence,
We observe the same disposition to
meet on half way ground in the phys
ical organism Of the mulatto or half
breed Indian. Where the superior
white man has been, we see a decided
improvement in the form Of SKULL
Can climate, food or labor, work such
miracle as to change the bony strnc-
ture? None but foolhardy fanatic
can believeit. Then, the black and the
white man, pure, are the same they were
when created by the power of God.--
But DR.. Young and his disciples say ::
"God hath made of one blood all ma.
tions of men, for to dwell on the face
of the earth, and hath determined the
times before appointed and the bounds
Of their AaJitation. Acts 17-26. This
is the only passage relied on to prove
the unity of the human race, and all
that this proves is, simply, thatall the
nations possessed human blood in their
veins and not the blood Of beasts, (as
Ariel has it.) And again, this speech
was delivered by Paul, but SO years af-
ter Christ, to an Athcnian audience and
it is not to be imagined that he meant
to include erery nation, for at that time
there were probably several nations Of
whose existence Paul was entirely, ig-
noraut. He was on this occasion, SIM
ply answering questions of certain Ep-
icurians and Stoics, and it is very GER
tain had not then heard of the discov-
cry of America, which was one nation
TO him unkno,yn. But the advocates Of
unity say the Books of Moses teach that
all descended from Adam and Eve;
then where did Cain get his wife, and
if Adam and Eve had regular we'll de.
vcloped skulls, and and like uiN pro-
duce its like, then, whence the negro,
with his Ill shapen skull, leg and heel,
and the red man with his high cheek
bone2 They could only be produced
by miracle--a total reversion Of Ma
ture's laws, and can only be accounted
for as we account for the creation Of
several varieties of the canine genus.
Here we see great many varieties of
the dog species, but no sane man will
assert they all sprang from one pair Of
dogs; though it might be done with
as much propriety and regard for Ma
ture's fixed laws as to assert that the
negro and white man sprang from the
same pair of genus homo. In con lu-
sion, we are free to admit that this sub
ject is one of grave Importance, but
shroudcd in the deepest mystery, and
it strikes our mind as passing strange
that we can gather so little from au
thentc history touching this absorbing
topic, and can only arrive at correct
conclusions by taking the laws of Ma
ture as guide, together with what his
tory has handed down to us. We are
far from believing the negro a beast,
but do believe him sentient human be-
ing, responsible to God and man. One
word as to the position taken by DR.
Young in his reply to "Ariel,' i. C.
the negro is descendant Of Ham and
of Canaan. If that be SO the whole of
Caanans descendants must hare been
SERVANTS to their brethren or the Bible
untrue. II the curse had been pro-
nounced on the descendants of Ham,
every man Of them would have been
reduced to servitude, for where would
be the justice in reducing some to that
condition or permit it done) when all
we're equaHy involved in the same curse!
But we know that all the descendants
of Canaan were never in servitude, even
admitting the African to be his de-
sceudant, (Which we deny.) This is
the old threadbare slavery argu-
ment, and when man gets thoroughly
lmbued with the idea he is certain to
conclude the negro was made to serve
the white as a slave. We can't believe
the Creator so cruel as to create race
of people and purposely doom them to
the CALLING yoke of involuntary slavery.
The Christians God is no respe;ter Of
persons, and the negro is surely q per-
son, for he is endowed with reason and
speech. But Ariel has it that it was
the negro who tempted Eve, and Young,
in his criticism of Ariel, partially asks
if the negro is now enjoying his curse,
by going on his belly and eating DUST
We wish to ask DR.. Young if he knows
the fact to be, that his satanic majesty
mores in that style and lives On such
diet, inasmuch as he concludes it was
Satan who tempted Eve and received
for his pains the curse of belly-going
and-dust eating.
Yours, &c.
