The darker races of the earth outnumber
the white. The white is to lead them to
a high civilization. The colored race
will exist in this country as long as the
country exists. 1t will enjoy privileges
in common with the white race. The
selfish interests of the white man. to say
nothing of his higher instincts, will pro
duce this result. The Republic, by its
own momentum, Will soon roll its power
over Mexico, Central America, and the
West Indies, which will before long be a
portion ofits States and territories. And
these vast regions, with mines of:wealth
and soil yielding choice product, will de-
mand labor to such an extent that cmi-
grafton from Afi.ica-under some regula-
tion-wili be probably encouraged.
The tidal flow of Caucasian emigration
from the Old u orld will go on in the
future as IN the past, but its course will
in the main lie i'll the higher latitudes of
our vast domain, dotting the valleys and
plains between the Allegheny and Rocky
mountains with cities, towns and villages,
planting the triumphs OF civilization on
their lofty peaks, and making the shores
of the Pacific rich with commercial cities.
But the lower latitudes, while they will
secure the brain and capital Of the Cau-
casSian, can not benefit from his labor;
natural causes will prevent it, and the
labor Of the darker races will be neces-
slty that no statesman will fail to appre-
ciate. This mutual dependence of CAPT
tai and labor will prove to be the con
trolling power of Providence that will
secarc political equality for the black
man and the sympathy OF the white race.
| hold TINT climate abolished slavery, and
climate will render secure the political
entranchisement Of the emancipateG.
Had the climate Of the North been
adapted to slavery, it would have existed
there to-day; but it was other wise; an
anti-slayery sentiment grew mp, it fright
ened the South, they trembIed for their
oiiga chy. The result was war and free
dom Of the Southern slave. Climate
again comes to the rescue OF the black
man. 1t gives him an importance as an
instrument of national development, and
the cries Of justice demanding his entr2n-
chisemcEt must and Will be heard.
The noisy politician, the scheming ad-
yenturer, may cut as many antics as he
may choose on the troubled waters Of our
national politics, but he cannot control
the wind aud tide These are in Gods
hands, and their course means that the
Repnblic Of America shall rule the Nortk
American continent; by her reflex inhu-
cncc elevate every nation il the world,
and bless the varied memFerS Of the
whole human family.
The idea of white mans govern
ment" may be forced on our Republic by
the Democratic party, but as Sampson
snapped tie cords with which he was
bound and stood forth in gigantic strength
our nation in its expanding glory Will
stamp it under foot i white nE.n might
Just as well attempt to make a special
appropriation Of the sun rs Of the Gov
ernment of the United States. But ii
NAV be said that he means 10 rale it
Our theory Of government is that a Ma
jority Of the people rule. The truth is,
that in American politics that side rules
which as an aggregate superiority Of
numbers, wealth, intelligence and cum
ming; and their rule is prevented from
depressing the minority by constitutions
III guarantees. The white man who says
he is afraid Of the black man ruling this
country, has either head or heart that
no man need envy.
