T0e NXOnsrel Policy.

Political equality to the extent
of participation in all the franchises
and privileges of the body polite,
can only be safely adopted in re-
spect to homogeneous races. 1t can
only co-exist with social equality.
Where the natural types OF race are
SO diverse that social repugnance is
a law of nature, the complete civil
union is as much under bane as
complete social connection. This
obvious truth is confirmed by the
fatal evils which have resulted from
all violations of these natural dis
tinctions. -..
No great leading people have cv-
or submitted to these political
mcsalliances. Neither the Greek
nor the Roman, nor any branch OF
the Caucasian race in Europe, have

the Indian, or the Mongolian races.
The mongrel confusion that has cor
rupted it's way on the earth, in
South America and Mexico, has eff

political, that has destroyed the en-
tire basis and all the requisite ele-
mcnts of popular freedom. French
colonization. where it has sunk to
the low level of inferior races by
sexual affiliation with them, has
forfeited its claims to empire. The
French and the Spanish, prone to
this admixturc, have established no

their preserving efforts in colonizing

the English, by maintaining their
social and political superiority and
an unmixed blood, have planted a
lasting and growing dominion in cv-
cry. part of the globe.
In North America, the once pre-
yailing power of the French has no
monuments except remnants of half
breeds, Habitans and Creoles. The
Spanish American settlements have
produced, after centuries of democrat
ization and chronic anarchy, mon
srelizcl people, made up of the de-
scendants of Europeans, negroes
and Indians, mulattos, whose po-
litical disorders constitute con-
tinual opprobrium upon popular
government. '
This unnatural alliance between
races widely separated by natural
distinctions, which partisan ambit-
ion and fanaticism seek to cstab-

Liberia, where the negro is SUI
