In the South has already commenced
the irreprcssiblc, inevitable, and never to
be avoided conflict, which always has, aud
always will, result from the attempt to or.
Sanisc popular government with q mixture
Of dissimilar races, upon terms of social
and political equality. Nothing is more
certain than that the three great races be-
tween which Ahc carth's surface was divid-
ed-the Caucasian, Mongoliah and Afri-
can-can never be amalgamated, and by
consequence, can never be orgapized into
political communities upon terms Of perfect
equality, with any prospect Of peace or per-
pctuity. st. Domingo. for example: The
whites were first massacred BY the negroes,
and Immediately thereafter an unceasing

Of mixed blood. In South Carolina, where
the negroes and their allies, the carpet
baggers, have large majority of the pop
ulur vote, the line of distinction was first
between the white and the colorcd voters,
and now it has come between the negroes
and mulattos. The negroes have issued
the following manifesto:

Is any man so stupid or ignorant of the
history of the past as to believe that these
conflicts Of race can ever cease short of the
subjugation or determination of one or the
other Of the contestants. It would be
quite as reasonable to expect to elevate the
native Indians to our own social condition,
and amalgamatc them with our own race,
an experiment which the experience of GEN.

practicable with all the advantages Of no.
mogencousness in favor of the latter.
The experience Of the world has proved
in all ages that no people are capable of

heritage Of freedom with people whose
normal condition is that of servitude, we
confer no blessing upon them, and bring
into our own politInl organization one Of
the worst elements Of dissolution, people
who would at any timo part with their boon

whose only idea Of liberty is licentious in

people Of the commonwealth, is quite as
