isolated and lon TO his own yoilion--
would rapidly return To his African
standard, and ii the four millions m
our midst could be thus disposed OF
ono hundred years hence there would
not be one of their descendants that
ever heard of Liucoln's proclamation,
or of lincoln himself or of anything
that the poor creatures, parrotlike,
pibber away about now This is no
opinion or speculation-it is fact, or
rather inductive fact--a simple, palpa'
bic, physiological necessity Of the ne
gro organism, fixed and fashioned by
the hand of God, and can no more be
otherwise than law Of gravitntion
can be reversed, or any other decree
Of the Almighty can be "reiormed' or
set aside by chance or human forces.
BY himself and Of himself, the negro
is a non.producing, mountaineering
"heathen," with natural aptitudes
like all other creatures, human or
animal, to live and multiply his kind,
but is now in Africa exactly whero au-
thontie history first finds him, and
exactly where he must be (if iso'ated)
millions of years hence Perpetual
summer-the earth producing, spon-
taneously, fruits, roots, &c, enables
him to live but he makes no advance,
one generation being seemingly capa-
bic Of all that innumerable generations
are. Brought to America, and placed
under the care and guidance OF a mas
ter his wonderful initiative powers
render him an essential element OF
our modern civilization, not only in
the cultivation Of some hundred de-
grees of latitude in the centre Of the
continent, that otherwise must needs
be barren waste, but in the produc
tion of cotton, sugar, coffee, &c, es-
sential to human comfort and happi-
ness, and without which that mighty
American commerce which has so
modified our modern civilization could
never have existed at all. But we
repeat, withdrawn from this care and
guidance, his wonderful initiative fac.
ulties no longer called into action,
and left TO his own voition, he as neces-
sarily returns to his African standard
as the once domesticated animal re-
lapses into native wildness. All
other races or species of human kind
have certain mate or specific char
acter, that enables them TO make a
certain advance, or progress, as we
call it, and the white man or Caueasi-
an is capable of unlimited powers
in these respects That is TO say,
each generation, using the knowledge
transmitted TO it by its predecessor
adds its own acquisitions, and trans
mits this TO the next one; thus its
march is ever onward towards that
indefinite perfection it strives to reach,
but, being mortal, cannot, in positive
sense, realize. The negro resembles,
as near as two things may, the boy or
white lad of II TO 10, and the human
law based on this natural, pre.ordained,
and everlasting fact, fixed by the hand
of God, as we have witnessed for two
hundred years in these States, renders
both white and negro, "master and
slave,' happy and prosperous, and
while both live and multiply them
selves, it is also seen to be the most
harmonious human relation ever wit
messed in human experience, and a
man might live lifetime in South
Carolina and never see the slightest
collision OF race. But the amazing
madness Of century, and perhaps
still more, the potent influences OF
European monarchism, have culmina-
ted in W hat luratics, traitors and fools
call negro freedom--that is 10 say,
the people of the South, having exhaus-
ted themselves in the vain effort for
separate government, are now power
less, while the dupes and tools of Eu-
ropean monarchy, with an army of
sixty thousand men, force the negroes
from their homes and into a Fictitious
and monstrous equality with tho white
people.
If the hideous faction that now
claims to be the Government of the
United States, had taken the four
millions Of negroes from their masters,
and located them in Africa or Central
America, or had driven the white peo-
pie south of the Potomac to tho North
or West, and thus left the negroes to
their own vciition, then there would
be freedom, of course, and, as we have
said, a hundred years hence, or as
soon as the small amount of white
blood in them died out, they would
be just as they are now in Africa
simple, useless, mountaineering heath
ems, as utterly unconscious Of their
great "liberators," John Brown and
Abraham Lincoln, as the native Afri-
cans are now of Jugatha, or the Plo
temys' of Egypt. But Congress
or rather the old "Anti-Slayery Soci-
ety." which is now the government,
do not mean this--thoy mean impair.
tidl freedom, the same condition for
white and negro-in word, they
mean amalgamation, and every man,
and woman too, in this broad land,
that assents TO the enormous and un.
speakable sin and crime OF this faction.
are, Of necessity, striving to transform
their own descendants into niggors.
Both white ard negro, forced TO sub.
nit to the same rules, &C., are of course
slaves. Their natural tendencies ro
pressed by the military force en-.
ployed, aud we have only to think for
a moment what these natural tonden-
cies are, to grasp the measureless hor
rors wrapped up in the "reconstruc
tion y of the South. The white man,
with twenty per cent. more brain. with
his natural instincts for progress and
indefinite perfection, is in iuxtaposi
tion with the negro, whose instincts
impel him to snake worship and Afr.
can savagery, and an external military
power, in pursuit Of "poace," is stri-
wing to crush out both Of these natural
tendencies, and compel Impartial
freedom" and amalgamation OF civili-
zation and savagery. The negro an
incumbrance, an obstacle to the white
man, of course he sweeps him from his
path, while the white man. having
