| The explanation of this surprising POiit-
ical result turns altogether on the position

| barbarous States the woman is the slave of

the European his companion. Ssz ssa*G
The natural position of the female in this
| respect is indicated at once by the relation
of numbers. In Europe for every 1O6
male births there are 100 female; hence
we may truly affirm that mouogamy.is is the

unnatural state. But though this is the

Institutions which our ancestors purchased
with their blood, and transmitted to us as

overthrow of the Executive and Judicial
power, established for the purpose of hold

to absorb all power. 1t is confirmed by
the selection of these colored races as the

The boldness and audacity of the schemes
make them appear almost incredible even
with all the accumulated evidence of

| The remedy Tor The evils which threaten,
| not only to destroy our form Of govern

| lists among us is to be found in separation
of the races by the colonization of the d,

able to their nature and organization and II
| where, under the guidance and protection
OF the Republic, they may fulfiil their des-

and their children, and the civilization
4 they have created. Nothing else can pre-
serve the superior race from contamina-
ton by admixture with the inferior, and
nothing else can preyenS demagogues from
i all parties from using the inferior race, as
they are now being used, to overthrow the
i political institutions, and even destroy the
lcivilization of our country. In recent
speech in the Democratic Convention at
Albany, in the State of New York, Mr..
| Tilden, distinguished leader of the
Democratic party. gave the true philosoph-
ic reason Ior the exclusion OF this alien
race from share in the political power of
4 this Government, when he said that the
family relation was the foundation Of our
system of civilization, and that these races
of people, but disregarded this relation--in
other words, pOlygamic races-could rot
be safely Incorporated into the political
! system. All history and experience, as
well as philosophy, teach the same lesson.
We can not safely disregard it. Those who
urge forward these schemes have lost the
] confidence of the white race and seek only
to retain position and power, and are will
ling to call to their aid the brute force OF
this ignorant and degraded race, regard
less of the result of its corrupting and de-

| A separation of the races in this present
aspect of affairs is demanded alike by the
true interests of both. The bitterness and
antagonism which have been engendered
between the races by the, intrigues of par
tisans, added to the National prejudice
which has always existed, renders it alb
solutely certain that violent collisions will
occur. Twill never be possible tor them
hereafter to live in peace in the same CONF
munity. Every consideration of human
ity to the negro, as well as to the preser-
vation of the purity, beauty and vigor of
our own race, demands that provision shall
be made for the separation of the races
that a country shall be provi led in which
the blacks can be established, where they
| may, under the protection of our Govern
ment, have their own laws aud rules, and
if they have the capacity claimed for them
by their Radical admirers, they may work
Iout glorious destiny for themselves.

maintain a government for themselves, and

do not know that the separation of the
races has been claimed as Democratic doc
trine, but do know that it was the doc,
trine of the founder of the great Demo-.
cratic party in this county. 1t was again
and again urged by him and his illustrious
compatriots, in the better days of the Re-
public; and cannot better conclude that
which have to say on this subject, than
by adopting the prophetic language of that
Industrious statesman, Thomas Jefferson.
| Nothing is more certainly written in
the. book of fate than that they {the ne
i- groes) are to be free. Nor is Il less certain
that the two races, equally free, cannot
Hive in the same Government. Nature,
habit, opinion. have drawn indellfble lines
OF distinction between them. 1t is stiliin
our power to direct the process, of emanci-
patton, and in such slow degree that the
evil will wear off insensibly, and their
places be pari pdssi filled up by free white
laborers. If, on the contrary, it be left to
force itself on, human nature, shudders at
the prospect held up.n 5nzsa ..slz
