suggest that, on a designated day, the citizens
throughout the United States, who favor an ex-
elusive white citizenship, meet together in their
respective localities and declare their sentiments
In an authentic manner. On that day, LET pure
white flag be raised in every city, town, village,
and hamlet in the Union, with these four words
inscribed: America for White Mem" If

The negro is "colored man" with
the same nature and wants as our
selves, and therefore entitled to the
same citizenship, and the more rapidly
and extensively that we intermarry
and mingle our blood with him, OF
eearss the more potent, prosperous,
happy and powerful We must become
rs people or nationality! Or the
negro is negro, human, of course,
but specifically as different from us as
the crow is from the eagle, and there
fore with a widely different nature
and widely different wants, is neces-
sariiy designed by the Almighty Crea-
tor oftho Universe for widely different
conditions, and our blind and sinful
efforts to ''abolish" this difference and
bridge over the gulf dug by the hand
Of Omnipotence, must utterly ruin
our institutions, liberty, civilization,
all that was won by our fathers of
1776. One or the other of these
propositions must be true, and the
other must be false, of necessity. Can
there be any doubt on the subject
Our reason, our instincts, and the
daily evidence Of our senses settle the
matter, Of course, and in all this broad
land not only is there no man, woman,
or infant even, that has been weaned,
on whom a negro could impose him
self for white man. The gulf sepa-
rating sexes may be disguised-a
woman may for years, pass for a man,
or man pass for woman, but the
Almighty hand has so legibly stamped
the negro a negro, and dug the gulf
between us so wide, and deep, and
impossible, that, since the world be-
gan, no negro has ever imposed him
self on any one man, woman, child or
fool, for white man.
What sin, impiety, utter, devil.like
audacity can, therefore, equal, or ap-
proach even, the fathomless and utter
less sin of tboso who would ignore
this palpable and unavoidable work of
Omnipotence and strive to "abolish"
it! Think of itl-thc Fifteenth
