What must be the effect Of this hostility?
History is not dumb upon this subject. It

although, IN vain, TO keep out the whi;o races

Already the fearful mortality which l,ss raccd
amongst the negroes, and still RACES in tho

liable result. Hostility does not yet exist be-
twcon the white and the negro races in sho
South. a mere separation has taken placo.

Het tho progress of extinction has goao on SO
rapidly, that, if Intensified by hostility, if
even noS arrested, in fifty years Tho negroes
IN tho United States will be as iusigniGcant

are portions of the Southern States, in which
negro labor is absolutely essential for their ae.

Never slnco tho world began, has tho negro
