the revelation of his own divine will, lie crc-
ated Adam. He added Adam to nature Ad-
am the great federal head of the Caucasian
race.
We need but trace history, to become con-
vinced of this. Every step in the grand march
of civilization has come through the brain OF
the Caucasian. Egypt, the cradle OF science,
colonized Phenicia and Phenicans in
vented and launched the first small barks on
the turbulent waves of the Mediterranean, to
exchange the products of one cline for those
of another. And this was the beginning of
commerce. Cadmus, Phenician, introduced
sixteen letters of the alphabet into Greece (;
and this was the beginning of literature.
Gioga invented the Mariners Compass which
guided the Caucasian in sail vessels over the
wide waves of the Atlantic and Pacific. Gal
lileo invented the mechanism Of the clock, to
compute the hours of day and night; and
the Telescope, to scan the planets Of space,
TO compute their size, distance and motion.
Shwartrz invented Gun-Powder, which in
!nauy respects places the weak individual on
a footing with the strong. Gutenberg, Shoef-
fer and Faust invented the Printing Press,
the car of intelligence for the diffusion of
knowledge. Hall invented the Steam Engine,
which propells wheel carriages on our Rail-
ways and vessels on our waters. Fulton ap-
piled it to Steamboats, to navigate our great
rivers. Whitney invented the Cotton Gin to
prepare the lint to clothe the world. Morse
invented the Telegraph by which we can
stand on one spot of the globe and converse
with our antpodes. Sir Isaac Newton discov-
cred the laws Of gravitation, steam aud light; (;
Galvani, the laws Of galvanism Harvey, the
circulation OF the blood; Gall and Spurzheim,
the system of phrenology Franklin, the con-
troll of the lightnings Of the heavens.
Every great Artist theworld ever produced;
every great Naturalist, every great Physi-
clan, Metaphysican, Poet, Historian, Orator,
Statesman or Law Girer, Military Genius,
Thcologian or Diviae,-all, all, were Cauca
sian. Noah Abraham, Moses, Solomon, Da-
yid, Christ, his Apostles. Luther, Melancthon
and Calvin,-the direct vehicle of revelation
(that Polar Star of the heavens, which guides
the great ship Of civilization as it passes its
brilliant path over the waves Of time to its
great and glorious destiny -tlc.c too were
Caucasiaus.
Mr.. Chairman, is it rot an axiom, self
evident truth. that the mission of this noble
Caucasian race is peculiarly brilliant and pre-
eminent? Superiority! Superiority! /; is
its heritage OF heaven 1t is its inalienable
right Of God
The phlosophy Of historyswiIl also ansiaiD-
this great trntll beyond contradiction. 10 wit:
Wherever two distinct races a superior and
an inferior, are brought to dwell in contact,
one of four results will follow cs natural
consequence under the operation Of natural
laws. First, The inferior will become sub.
seivient to thc superior. Second. IF not this,
the superior. Thirdlr. If not either of these
two, the inferior, By overwhelming numbers,
brute force and lawlessness, will exterminate
or expatriate the superior. Fourthly, If not
either OF these three, it will be because the
superior has become so corrupt. depraved and
degraded as to amalgamate with the inferior
Here then is mongrelism; where the blood of
two distinct races coursing through the same
arteries and veins, are antagonistic elements,
warring with each other, and resulting in a
malformation or defective brain,-the pre-
pared seat of an unbalanced mind, the want
of the capacity of selEgevernmcpt in the in
dividual. An aggregation Of such individu-
ais, form just such similar society. Society is
always properly the creator Of government.
Government is always properly the creature
of society. The chip will always partakc of
the property of the block; the offspring will
always inherit more or less the quality of the
parent. If society be corrupt, degraded and
rotten, the government emanating of it will
also be corrupt, degraded and rotten, and will
c.umble and topple to extinction, entailing
the same awful doom on the society from
which it sprang. We need only trace the
history Of America for examples of this mo-
mentous truth. Tile slaves of America were
examples of the first instance; the Indians
Of America are examples of the second San
Domingo is an illustration Of the third; Mex
leo and many of the South American States
are this day living examples of the fourth.
Mongrelism may be aptly illustrated by a dozen
of army caterpiilars cooped in a jar. tha
strongest will devour tie weakest, and then
the strongest will be metamorphosed isto an
cphemeral fly, will dwindle, languish and
expire.
Mr.. Chairman, the logic Of facts makes the
conclusion inevitable that the great cause of
the Democratic. party is the cause of ciyiliza-
tion-is the cause of Christianity and Civil
Liberty. She has unfurled ber colors; she is
marshalling her invincible legions on tho
