Client evidence. How much more strongly

" Nothing Il more clearly written In the

- The two races can never live under the

riers which nature, morals and color has
- reared between them Nor is IL reason
able to suppose that any government, could
be made permanent in country where the
two races stand like mountains Of mutual
hatred perpciually threatening revolution
airy eruption from the explosive mass OF
conflicting morals, color education and
natural hostility.
II singular fact Of history that upon
whatever part Of Gods creation the two
nations have come in contact, one Of two
results las invariably followed If thewhites
were the moro numerous they subjected anu
maintained in n state Of servitGdc the
blacks; il the latter were the more power
full they inassacred ths whites. What will
be the result in this country? The whites
are Too numerous to fear the fate Of their
race in Ilayti and Domingo Here, the
negro owing 10 his peculiarly fortunate
situation In the midst Of people surpas-
singly progressive in the arts and sciences,
surrounded with the highest type of civil
izalion and in country rapidly and con-
tinuously developing, will ever DO preven-
ted from relapsing into that barbarism
which would evtably be his lot, if crcum-
stauced as his brethren in other PORTIONS OF
the world but his inexorable destiny Will
be serfdom modified so as to accord with
tho advanced enlightenment, chris'ianized
humanity and the enlarged and oompre-
hensive views of justice and jurisprudence
of the age.
Like the "pulcherrima me habito OF
mythology, we regard negro suffrage as the
apple of revolution, thrown against the
banquet Of fanaticism which in the mad
fury of its intoxication from, and strife for
power, seems will inevitably destroy the
government, and plunge us into revolu-
ton in comparison 10 which that OF the
French, with all its crimes and horrors Will
be as the summer zephyr to the winters
blast. Nor is IL improbable if the conflict
ing elements of the times, Democracy and
Radcalsm, are not reconciled, that in after
ages, some European prince, while stand
ing amid the ruins of the capitol, will point
10 its broken columns and crumbling arches
and gloatingly sxultant exclaim, "Ihese
are the saddest epitaphs upon the folly of
mems vanity and hopes" Is ittobe suppos-
ed that the negro once possessed OF the en-
joyment of political power and special i'm
muni,es, will tamey submit to the depri-
walton Of those advantages? To conjecture
such is contrary to human nature and the
teachings of history. 1t is somewhat re-
markablc fact thai themore equal political
ly the two races become, socially the wider
they separate. Weof the Southh have two pow
erful incentives TO keep us aloof, socially,
from the negroes; placed as we are between
the whites of the North, with all their in.
tellectual and moral superiority, and the
negroes with their imbeciliiy, ignorance
and moral degradation, we must ever
choose utilization with the former, from the
fear of degeneracy and sinking below our
neighbors; again, the very thought of plac-
ing our former slaves upon an equality |
with with us, revolts the mind of the edu-
Gated, and shocks the feelings of the virtu-
GUS. The fear of social equality will ne
cessitate q political distinction; and with
the support of the Northern Democracy no
one can doubt that the Constitutions now
being fastened nolens, volens, upon the
