man and woman) will improve that race p
Fellow-mechanics and laboring men, are
you ready for this experiment Who of
you, Democrat or Republican, will give
wife or daughter as bait for buck negroes2
Who of you, Democrat OF Republican, will
give your daughter, your beloved offspring,
as subject upon which to test the sinfusingj
OF the blood of the brutal barbarian negro2
In the name of all that is good will YOU
not rise up as one man and resolve that YOU
will never rest until you shall complete the
overthrow of the base and brutal fanatics
who would, by overt acts of unsurpation.
not only destroy your Government, and
with it every principle of constitutional
liberty, but by "infusingn the blood of the
beastly ne o, would debauch, disease, and
utterly rot out your posterity2 Should this
humole address meet the eye ofany white
worklngman who belongs to the Radical
negro party, beg him to stop right here
and reflect. As a free American citizen,
what nave you to gain by taking the negro
by the hand as IMAM and brother2" Do
you think it could possibly benefit you or
your iamliy-your wife, daughters, and
sons-by forming an association. socially
and politically, with even the best of ne
groesf Ihere Is no sensible white man,
neiong TO whatsoever party he may, who,
II ne VIII only reflect on this single point,
that wall not acknowledge that such an
association would not and could not bene-
Ut MN IN any way But do you think that
your DUTY to the negro requires yout to form
such an association with him2 You cannot
think so, for the first law of nature is self
preservation. You are required by this
law, law which no earthly power can re-
peal or ignore, to stand by and protect your
own household and the purity and sanctity
OF your own fireside.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ofAmerica, can you
contemplate proposition so loathsome
without feeling the noble blood of your
Caucasian sires boil in your veins While
you look upon the degeneracy wrought in
tne caucasian family in South America,
central America, and Mexico by gender
ing with negroes and Indians thing
which Moses declares is degrading to the
beast"-can you for a moment listen to a
proposition which, if adopted, must entail
the same accursed calamities upon your
chlidrens Rising to the full dignity of
your natural superiority, will you not swear
oy the patriotism and blood ofyour fathers,
that measure so utterly revolving shall
never be adopted 2 You are told by the
mongrels that the adoption ofnegro suffrage
will not oblige you to associate with ne
groes. How is this Mongrels tell you
that the negro is your "equal," and that
therefore he must be admitted to all the
civil rights and political privileges which
you ENJOY. How can the negro be elevated
SO high without making him your equal
socially What does this s'natural equality
OF all men, which gives the negro the right
TO vote and so ON mean2 Does it mean
mat he shall vote, be admitted to the jury
box, and be free American citizen, in all
public relations on level with white men,
and then De kicked out of our parlors be-
cause he is negro9 The mongrels tell us
That there are ''some white men" with whom
we do not associate" Very true; but we
40 not refuse to associate with them because
they are white On the other hand, how
ever, II we refuse to associate, with all ne
groes, however respectable, we can have no
other reason for doing so than because they
are negroes. What kind of equality" is
that which votes the negro because he votes
the carpet-bag ticket, and kicks him out
OF the carpet-bagger's parlor because he is
a "nigger2" Is it natural equality 2" If
mongrel declares that the negro shall vote
(the mongrel ticket always because he is
the natural equal" of the white man, and
then refuses to take the said negro home
with him to dinner, just as he would
white man, all other circumstances being
equal, that inongrel is q, hypocrite and
liar. Equality" is an absolute term
You cannot add to it or take from it, and
the man who asserts that the negro is the
equal of the white man, and at the same
time refuses to cat, drink, sleep with and
marry negroes because they are negroes, is
a villainous scoundrel. Queer kind of
equality" is that which says to the negro
vote by my side because you are my equal"
and at the next moment "keep away from
my daughter because you are niger i'-
But while the mongrels here practically re-
pudiate their own doctrine in refusing to
gender" generally with negroes, they
would be glad enough if the white work
ingmen and women of America would do
so, A,population, utterly debauched, and
fostering with mongrel scabs, would be
easy prey for sIch vampires as Tilton,
Beecher q Co. The latter do not propose
to intuse or bait with negroes themselves,
but such process would improve and in
vigorate ''poor white trash" From what
has been said, we see that all the evidence
which can possibly be obtained on the sub
ject, not even excepting that of the mon
grels proves conclusiyely that the negro is
not the natural equal of the white man.
Wherefore, since nature does not rejoice in
the union of things which are not in their
own nature alike, negroes should not come
under the same yoke with the white peo-
pie. ~ a. b
The writer of this works every day at
his anvil, and it cannot be expected that
he could give to this subject the study
which is demanded by its vast Importance;
still he is of the opinion that, while the
joints of his argument are not so nicely fit
ted as they might be, his position cannot
be successfully assailed. He takes the po-
sition that all the civilization of the world
all that ever were and all that are now
were and are the work of Caucasian brain
and arm. Who win dare deny this2 And
his argument covers the fact that negroes,
in their normal condition, have never even
dreamed of civilization. Who will deny
this2 And he fortifes himself by defying
any Radical or mongrel to show where any
negro ever originated any useful invention
or thing. SImpregnable, then, in this posi-
ton, and utterly defying all controversy,
he invites his fellow work ingmen, without
regard to party, to a calm and candid ex-
animation of this all-absorbing and tran
scendently important subject. He has no
motive in this address higher than love for
his country and race. He desires nothing
