, man, Irving, in glowing prose, with
thoughts that breathe and words that
burn, has pictured their marches and
conquests, and their arts as well as
, their arms. The whole Christian
world shrank and trembled before the
mighty genius of this Arab race, while
it was overrunning Spain and threat
ening Europe with downfall. But in
an evil hour they who planted the no.
blcst banners ofpoctry, and Of prose,
Of philosophy, and of history, in the
front rank Of the learning ofthe world,
they who had invented the science of
notation, and taught us decimals,-
they who had created algebra, and Civ

measured the heavens in their astrono-

use. to the stars, and consultations,
that sparkle in the sky; they who be

manac, (the Diary) the little wor; now
indispensable in every mans house,
alas, Mey mingled the blood OF their
heroic race with tho Nubiau,--the ne
gro,--with the inferior and degraded
races Of Africa, all about them, and
they rapidly fell from their exalted po-
sition into the degraded pool OF race,
with whom they had commingled.--
These once heroic Arabs were driven
from Grenada, and lingering awhile
upon the coasts Of the Mediterranean,
they re-hed into Africa, dishonored,
degraded, destroyed, by forgetting their
Arab nobility, and becoming Nubians,
negroes, and other inferior races Of AZ
RIGA.
THE OTTOMAN TURKS NEXT.
Years afterward there sailed forth
from Asia, that great storehouse of ma
tions, the Ottoman Turks, under the
banner ofthe Prophet, and their Cres
cent swept over almost the same
breadth Of territory that the Arabs had
gone over before them. If they paus-
ed at the Pillars OF Hercules in the
West, their scimetars flashed in the
East, under the walls OF Vienna, and
swept of every living man that showed
himself on the open plains of Austria
or Bohemia. But alas. they entered
upon the same degraded crime oiamal-
gamation and miscegenation, and they
soon cmasculatcd these once heroic
Turks, the approach Of whose Crescent
had made the Christian tremble in cv-
cry Court Of Europe, and upon every
nayigablc internal sea. In their ha-
rcms, the thick-lipped, wooly headed
negro woman was mixed up with the
beautiful Circassian and Georgian, and
children Of all lues, and colors, and
races, were the product Of this hateful
misccgcnation; and God--evcn the
God of Mohammed--- has punished the
Moslem by his own degradation and
his own overthrow for violating that
| tilst law Of nature--thc preservation of
the purity Of race. The Crescent no

rior Of Africa, as the custodian ofthese

associated himself with the negro, or
negroes, and recognized him or her,
either as brother or sister, from that
hour the Turkish Empire began to
crumblc until now it exists only by the
tolcration of the Christian Powers Of
Europe.
TIE MooRs AND THE NEGROES NEXT.
Let gentlemen, then, but study the
history ofthe Arabs in their mixture
of races, let them but study the histo-
ry Of the Turks, let them but study the
history of Morocco, if they will ever
take tho trouble to study at all, and
they will see what fatal step they are
taking now in equaiizing unnatural ra.
ces. or rather in subjecting the superb
or white race of the South to negroes
from Africa. Muley Ismael was En-
pcror of Morocco about 1850. and he
had negro, as well as n Georgian
wife, between whom and others, were
born from him, the historian re ords,
800 children, the last born when he was
near 80 years of age. This Muley Is
mael, in order to do, what you in this
Congress are doing, that is, to enforce
a military despotism upon his People,
neglected the Moors, and enlisted an
army Of 100000 negroes, obtained from
the coast of Guinea. Through civil
war and bloOdshed, and for over 100
years, as you will find in the history of
Morocco written by Chenier, the Moors
were in the most miserable condition
a people could be in, almost all the
time under the power of these negroes,
these Janssarics, these Pretoran
Guards of the Emperor, and they new
er ceased in their insolent demands and
pretensiOns. 1t was not till 1850 that
these 100000 negroes could be got rid
of by any device, and then, through
Sidi Mahomet, by cunning and fraud,
they were reduced to $4,000 before they
noted their weakness. 1t took a hun
dred years for the Moorish race to re-
cover itself from the fatal crime of Mu.
ley 1smael and it will cost hundred
years to recover from your legislation,
If the People continue you in power,
another Election.
