FROM the Memphis Post
T utura Of tie G0loTed Race Of the
EY REV. JAMES LYNCH.

As soon as the rebel armies surrender
ell and the freedom of TIE colored people
became fixed fact, YOU could hear every
where in the South the opinion expressed
that the "negro will die out" Most all
white persons you meet regretted emaIi-
cipation, con account OF sincere love for
the black man" 1t seems, however, that
the Fortieth Congress has reversed what
Was considered Il divine decree i'll refer
ence to the ''Sons Of Ham," by giving
them the right to vote. Now, they in
woke the aid Of Congress and the power
OF the Democratic party Of the North ;
they appeal to Anglo Saxon pride TO as-
sist them in maintaining their supremacy
over this race which they said would
,'tt.,Ge away rapidly III Il state Of freedom"
It is easy to see that political selfish
ness, sordid interest and disappointed
hopes were at the bottom and prompted
the cry Of 80. the poor negro" when
he WAS enlaucipatel, us it does now the
howl about the differentiation Of ten
States" because he is cnfranchised.
The colo2ed man is 10 longer Il thing,
or Il ward Of the body polite; he is q
person and citizen by virtue of his birth
in the country. Without the exercise OF
the ballet, he would be at the mercy OF
every white man in the community
Brand 3 man with political inferlority,
and in spite of civil laws, justly enacted,
SO far as he is concerned, they would be,
to quite al extent, an entire nullity.-
But some Of our legal lnninaries who
deny this say: "White women and child.
rem do not vote, yet they are protected. "
1t is sufficient, i'll answer to this, to say
that white women have husbands, brot5'
ers, fathers and sons who do vote, and sc
do the children stand nearly related &c
those who vote.
That class of white men in the State Of
Mississippi who demand that every white
man shall vote, while they accord the
black man the same right, are III the
bounds of humanity and patriotism : that
class who declare for impartial suffrage
but Insist on qualification, are III the
bounds Of humanity and patriotism. bu'
that class who declare that this is a
siwhite mans government" and that the
black nan has no political rights because
he is black, is outside OF the pale OF rea
son, humanity or patriotism. y othlng
i,better prores this than the character OF
tie newspapers that are It's exponenls.-
These newspapers set at defiance all re
fined taste, chronological rules, or historic
record; magnify every wrong committed
by a black man; they tantalize him fol-
his bluuders or awkwardness, and rIdicult
him for his ignorance. Phey bring Eo
to light single redeeming feature Of hi
character, but veil his goodness with thel
deyilish hate and malignity. Indeed, i
would seem that Satan's imps III perdl
ton, surfeited with his supplies, visite'
regularly the sanctums OF their editors
and there vomited, and from this excre
lnent they filled their sheets.
The destiny of all the races on th'
globe is bound up with that of the Amer
lean Republci. God bas willed it So

JOHN ". LANGsToS, the celebrated col
ored scholar and orator, created sensa-
ton when lie spoke in Louisa Court House
Virginia, some time ago, in favor,
of the republican party. The seeesh
were at first highly indignant at the i'm
pudence Of q negro coming to. talk in
their midst, even to his own people but
hey were good deal taken down, first
by his wonderful eloquence and finished
Style, and next By the fact that Langston
proved to be the son Of one of their
slaves The education Lalgston reeeiV-
ed came from his white father, who, as he
said in his address, "slcerS by the side of
my slave mother in the village grave,
yard" The Confederate General Cor
don was so pleased with Langston that
he called upon and invited him to his
house after he had heard his argument
in favor of Radical Republicanism, and
the white ladies of the place would not
be satisfied till he had given them
speech in the village church. Truly, the
world moves!

of religious feeling. And one that is Sc
lected from good judgement, from con
science, and from moral consideration
one that is selected on account Of the
depth and breadth Of true moral life, as
well rs for other reasons, will be apt to
make a household blessed.
And in this manner you must recollect
| that natural traits are more powerful than
artificial ones. \ person may have IN
excellent experience III religion, and yet
make poor wife.
When my venerable old President, Dr.
Humphrey, was lecturing once, III college,
he said: ''In selecting your partners toF
life, first choose persons Of naturally good
disposltions-Persons that are naturally
cheerful and gentle. You, Will perhaps,
b. surprised" he added, 'to hear minis
ter of the Gospel put cheerfulncss and
gentlcness before piety; but am OF the
opinion of Baxter, who said that the
grace of God could live with persons that
he could not" Whatever may lie done
by piety, whatever susceptibility there
may be of religious emotion, and founda-
tons of disposition should be natural
And when the foundation is so, there will
come III greater measure of fancy, OF
affection, of sentiment and then Will
come in, too, interest.
They who marry for interest, without
regard to moral considerations, usually
lose even that; but they that select from
mora considerations, broadly and deeply,
gain first the moral ends that thcy seek,
and then, through these, other ends which
they do not seek-atlection, admiration,
fancy and frequently thrift itself: ''Seek
first tie kingdom Of God and its right
eousncss, and all things shall be added
unto YOU" is just as true Of marriage as
of general conduct. 4 man that begins
at the foundation OF things, and in every
part of Ills life aims at that which is deep
est in religious aspects and in moral rcla-
tions, aims at everything else beside,
though lie may not be conscious Of doing
il.
. SO, If there be any children o" Chri t an
parents who are disposed to take the
daughters Of Canaan for wives, let HE
say t. them the advice ofthc old patriarch
Isaac is good, when he says: Thou shalt
not take to thysclf wife of the daugh-
ters Of Canaan. 60 back to the hoGse-
hold OF thy fathers. 60 to the religion
in V liich you have been brought up" 1t
is not wise to mix religions; and any
man who marviys Il wife Of q totally diff
ftrcnt faith from his own, thinking that
h, car bend her afterwards, Las little idea
of the temper Of Il woman. Asa general
rule, one had better marry according to
the religion and customs and usages to
which he is accustomed. Many a man
that WAS brought up on a low scale has
married above himself i'll society, and has
been made unhappy all his life by his un-
matched, illmatrd osilion. Such 4 union
now and then may prosper, but rs gen
efal rule it is better to go back to the
llnd OF your fathers and take compat-
ion from among those OF the same faith,
the same social standing, the same occu-
pations, aud the same ideas rs your own.
Then there will be promise of hanD:uesS.

CBEERFUL WoMEN.-O, if ''gloomy''
women did but know what comfort there
is in a cheerful spirit How the heart
leaps up to meet a cheerful shiny face, q
merry tongue, an even temper, and heart
which either naturally, or, what is bet
ter, from conscientious principle, has,
learned to take all things on the bright
side, believing that the Giver of life be-
ing all perfect love, the best Offering we
can make to him is to enjoy to the full
what he sends of good, and bear what he
allows, Of evil Ike q child who, when

Among the secondary influences which
can be employed, either by or upon ma
turally anxious morbid temperament,
there is none so ready to hand, or so
wholesome, as that so often referred to,
constant employment. 4 very large
number of women, particularly young
women, are by nature constituted so ex-
ceedingly restless of mind, or with such
a strong physical tendency to depression,
that they can by no possibility keep them
selves in state of even tolerable cheer
fulness, except by being continually oc-
cupied.
