GREEN CRY, COL, May 2, I87i.
HON. JACOB THOMPSON AND THE NEGRO
RACE,

Editors AppeaL-You criticise severely
the views Of the negro race expressed by
Mr.. Thompson in a recent speech at
Chattanooga. We think Mr.. Thompson
could not have meant that the morality
OF the negro race was superior to that Of
the white-that is to say, that the ne
grO's sense Of honor and right and his
practice of the social virtues are superior
to that Of the white race. The expression
in connection with his asserted religious
superiority was doubtlessly uttered
loosely in the fervOr Of defamation with
out due reflection upon its full import.
But Mr.. Thompson was certainly right in
saying the negro is more religious being
than the white man. He instinctively
Worship5 the supernatural, and is filed
with superstitiOUs dread Of ghOsts,
witches, and Of all strange and unex-
planned phenomena of nature. His own
being is not more q matter of fact to him
than the existence Of vsritabls devil
with clOven hOOfs, horns and tail,
and eyes glowing with fire, and
nOstrils breathing g smoke and fame.
He is prone to see the supernatural
in everything above his comprehension.
His faith in religious teaching Is the most
trusting. and absolutely unquestiOning.
Who ever heard of q negro skeptic or
sthsist2 His faith is blind and never
doubts. He Is highly emotional, and
when wrought upon Is transported and
exalted to the highest pitch Of religious
excitement, which he enjoys with q zest
of which the white man is utterly inca
psble.
The mistake you make is in OOnfound-
iEg religion with morality. They are es-
sentially distinct things-as distinct as
any two su distances in nsture-often found
in combination, and, on the other hsnd,
often found in opposition. Morality with
out religion will not save q man from the
devil. Ninety per cent. Of the felons In
our prisons, and Of the murderers on the
gsllOws, die religious, while some men Of
the highest moral character have died
atheists. And 1 have known negroes
never so happy, and never so filed with
religious zeal, at when half drunk, and in
the very glow Of this excitement commit
pettv larceny, RONIM.
