Is THE NEGRO A BEAST.

In order to crafty the curiosity Of
many of or readers who have not seen
"Ariel's" famous pamphlet, we give the
conclusion, in which he sums up all his
arguments. oaarat
Now, let us sum up what, is written
in this paper. We have shown, H.
That Ham was not made negro, neith-
er by his name, nor the curse Tor the
supposed curse) of his father Noah. (2.)
We have shown that the people of In
dia, China, Turkey, Egypt (Copts), now
have long, straight hair, high foreheads,
high noses and every lineament of the
white race; and that these are the de-
cendants of Ham. (3.l That therefore,
it is impossible that Ham could be the
father ofthe present race of Negroes
a. That this is sustained by God him
self causing Mizraim to embalm his dead
directly after the flood and to con-
tinue it for twenty-three centuries; and
that these munmies now show Hams
children to have long, straight hair, etc.,
and the lineament alone of the white
race. 10y That Shem, Ham and Jap
eth being white, proves that their faith
er and mother were white. (6.) That
Noah and his wife being perfect in
their genealogy, proves that Adam and
Eve were white, and therefore inlpoSSi-
Die that they could be the progenitors Of
the kinky-headed, black-skinned neg
roes of this day. ~ That, therefore,
as neither Adam nor Ham was the pro-
genitor of the negro, and the negro be-
ing now on earth, consequently we
knoU that he was created before A dam,
as certainly and as positively as we kno,o
that the horse and every other animal
were created before him; as Adam and
Eve were the last beings created by
God. (8.) That the negro being crea-
ted before Adam, consequently he is
beast in Gods nomenclature; and being
beast, was under Adams rule and
dominion, and, like all other beasts or
animals, has no soul. (9.l That God
destroyed the world by flood, for the
crime of the amalgamation, or miscege-
nation of the white race (whom he had
endowed with souls and Immortality,
with negroes, mere beasts without souls
and without Immortality, and produc-
ed thereby a class (not trace), but class,
Of beings that we're neither human nor
beasts. Q0.) That this was crime a
gainst G cd that could not beexpiated,
and consequently could not be forgiven
by God, and never would be; and that
its punishment in the progeny is on
earth, and by death. H. That this
was shown at Babel, Sodom and Co
morrah, and the determination of the
nations of the Canaanites, andby q DDS
law to Moses. Q2.) That God will not
accept religiousiworsllip from the negro,
that he has expressly ordered that no
man having fiat nose, shall approach
his altar; and the negroes have fiat
noses. Q3.l That the negro has no
soul, is shown by express authority of
God, speaking through the Apostle Pc
ter by divine inspiration.
The intelligent cannot fail to discover
who was the tempter in the garden of
Eden. 1t was beast a tallcing beast-a
beast that talked ndturaRy-ifitrequired
a miracle to make it talk (as our learned
men suppose, and as no one could then
perform miracle but God only, and if
he performed this miracle to make a
snake, q serpent, talk, and to talk only
