Here is singular and not altogether un.
poetical tradition regarding the origin and
relative positions of the three races on this
continent. 1t is current among the Semin.
ole Indians: They say that when the Great
Spirit made the earth he made also three
men. All Of the men had fair compilations,
and after making them he led them to.
the margin of small lake. and babe them
leap in and wash. One obeyed, ard came
out purer and fairer than before; the second
hesltated 4 moment, during which the water,
sgitated by the first, had become muddied,
and when he bathed, he came out copper.
colored the third did not leap till the water
he'd become black with mud, and lie came
out black with its own color. The Great
Spirit laid before them three packages, and
out Of pity for his misfortune in color, gave
the black man the first choice. He took
hold of each package, and having felt the
weight, chose the heaviest. The copper.
cOlored man chose the next heaviest, leaving
the white man the lightest. When the
packages were opened. the first was found
to contain spades, hoes, and implements Of
labor; the second enwrapped, hunting, fish.
ing and war like apparatuses; the third gave
the white man pens, Ink and paper, the en-.
gines Of the mind-thc means Of mutual
mental improvement. the social link Of
humanity, the foundation Of the white mans
superiority. With regard to the black race,
Democracy holds similar tradition, con.
ceving them to be fit only for hewers Of
wood and drawers of water.
