NEGRO WORSHIP.

presses they subsidize, placing their
last hope in the negro, have made the
most frantic efforts TO secure for him
the balance Of political power. But
to their dismay, just where there was
an equilibrium Of parties the black
allies, instead of being masters of the
situation, really drive off so many
Republicans that the scale is largely
turned against the Amalgamation
party of negroes and Radicals. The
strong common sense of the American
people has revoltcd against the unnat-
uraI and foul alliance that Radicals
have made Not only is this felt
among Democrats, but the great mass
of Wings and Republicans are as
deeply imbued with the feeling. At
the meeting of the State Medical
Society, in this city, its eminent pre-
siding officer expressed the sentiment
of all the enlightened members of the
profession when he said:
Apart from the undisputed reality, that the pure
white man-the lndo European-has acquired
possession Of all the governments Of the earth, not
merely savage or tribal, and thus shown his hpt-
tude for ruling, there such Verties in anatomy
or physiology as warrant US in believing that the

BY the lights Of science, blind TO all but truth,
nothing extenuating and setting down naught in
malice, does the thicker Uranium, the heavy skull,
the prominent temporal ridge and deep temporal
fossa, the narrow head and arched forehead, the
large and prominent ears, the very prominent eye,

thick lips the larger size of the ethmoid and the
greater extent Of the pituitary membrane, the
stronger and heavier lower jaw with its recedent
chin and its prominent avoolar edges, the essenod
projection OF the occput and its foramen magnum

slender pelys, the higher calves Of the leg, the
fat and broad foot, with its absence of an arch,
the long heel, and the generic odOr Of the whole
body, mark human being diverse from the
white man in form, characteristics and natural
habitudes seriously to interfere with social life

While we demand for every man life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness, there is question
whether 1t is wise prudent for US to assume the
danger Of an effort to lift the misplaced denilens
Of the Torrid Zone into the same plane with the
native white Of the Temperate Zone, in that civil
ired belt Of the earth in which this white man has
borne no rivalry, in which he has subdued and is
ruling every people diverse from himself in the
Eastern and Western hemispheres, and is now
breaking in pieces and stamping with his feet
the residue Of tribes, the original possessors Of
the soil we stand upon.
At the conclusion of DIR. Wallaces
address, the Convention unanimously
passed resolution thanking him for
"Ihe able address just delivered, and
that copy Of the same be requested
for publication in the transactions of
the Society" In vain our cotempo-
rary, the Press, objects TO this, and
enters its solemn protest against the
principles of science and the truth of
history. They have not, as it fondy
thinks, been obliterated. They were
often ignored, often forgotten during
the hurly-burly of war. "Mako the
negro the ruler Of the South" was the
appeal that passion listened TO, and
selfish and prohigate rogues profted
by. To this we owe the recon-
struction policy Of which Whittemore
and Bullock are representatives, men
put in power by military authority as
a "carpet-bag' government for the
South, which they plunder and mis-
represent But it is the North, too,
that now is made the victim. In vio-
lation of the Republican platform,
which solemnly denied any design to
establish negro suffrage in the loyal
States, it has been forced upon them.
The Federal Legislature which makes
laws for Pennsylvania is packed with
knavish "carpet baggers" like Whit
temore, with Brigadier. Generals elect

For before the Fifteenth Amendment
was passed, before there was a pre-
tence that a negro was eligible to
any Federal Office, one was thrust
into the Senate of the United States
by military power. This was the |
crowning act of Radical insolence and
bravado. The pride of white men
was to be abased by this slap in the
face-by sheer military power an
ineligible negro was put among the
lawmakers for the American people
Radicalism has not heard the last Of
this nonstrous and impudent outrage.
One indication of public feeling, quite
significant, was given in this city.
The Radicals wanted TO accustom
mems minds to the idea of negro
rulers, and public act Of negro wor.
