The Question of Raoe,

clearly the law that governs the superior

right, if not by the divinity, of his color,
and will listen to no terms on the part of
the original posscssors of the soil, but abb
ssolute submission to his sovereign will.
l.If they submit, they may live. If they
prove troublesome, they must be Subdued.
If they put themselves in a state of per-
manent rebellion, they must be s1termin-
ated. This seems to be the law, above all
other laws, which the Caucasian race has
imposed upon itself; law which has been
somewhat relaxed in the case of the French
and Spaniards, who were once the coloniz-
ers of the New World, but which has nev-
er been seriously relaxed by the Anglo
Saxons, the Anglo-Celts, and their Teu-

Eternal Foes,
Yertlsing

To render homage to the dead is assuI-
odly a praiseworthy practice, and ems
which cannot be too much encouraged, ss-
Pecially in a country where it is new, at
least as public demonstration. But
there is ground for. no little astonishmsnt
to see it used to revive the resentmsnts
left by the late civil war, in certain polit-
ioal sections. The fear seems TO be that
the true resontments and passions are
weakening. Five years have passed since
the South has been subjugatOd, and not
only is it as yet treated as yanquished,
but we see that the Radicals in Congress
attempt to organize in perpotuity an off
cial ceremony to remind it of it's humilia-
tion, II is not charitable and it iI not
politc.
Let each one, North and South, weep
their dead fallen in the struggle, honor
their memory, and render homage to their
graves, nothing better but such proceed
ings should be regarded as private, not
public acts. At the sequel of q OWL
war the nation has but to bemoan its lost
blood victors and vanquished were equal
ly her own children, and, the fratricidal
struggle exhausted, nothing remains but
to pour upon the wounds of each ths balm
of forgetfulnoss. Why then eternizs ths
remembrance, as though we were to glori.

ways keep awake, by cruel prosecutions
