The uuificatiOn Of the people OF
Louisiana, says the CarOndclet
street meeting, is our wish and pur-
pose for the salvation of the State. !
IL Qualification" be their object, and !
Qualification" upon the terms of race |
CAPABILITIES avowed by them, il fol- |
lows that the shortes. and the best
path 10 the end should be taken.
That path is very plain. Already
the negroes, the carpet-baggcrs, and
the scalawags, are "uniGed' on the
Radical race platform, now agreed
to by the CarOndelct street meeting.
Now let the latter get all the white
people in the State to Join the Grant
party, and the Qualification" will be
rounded and complete. Louisiana
will be a unit for race equality from
head to foot, and will promise in
the future to become q fertile gard
en- ofmOngrelism. Mongrelism, like
mixing pure water and lager beer,
which spells two good liquids, is to
spoil two good races. These races
God created separately and cast
them in different moulds. AS pen
atty for the violation of his plain
law that foTbids their admixture of
blood, He has stamped hybrid on
their joint progeny. Hybrid is eth
or a monster incapable of producing
its kind, or il is a creature whose
vitality sinks gradually TO final ex-
| tinetion with every repetition of
| the cross of blood. A respectable
negro should desire TO maintain the
purity of his race. A .fortiOTi so

grel race, aud you give il up to fee
blencss and corruption, only TO be

slant streams OF new supply from the
pure blood of both races. lift should
appear to us to be foredoOmed that
our once boosted Southern civiliZa-
ton is to be mongreiiZed, and we
had our choice, we should much pre-
fer that certain States, aud terrific
ries like the Indian reservations,
should be dedicated and given up
exclusively 10 the negroes, on which
they should enjoy the widest oppOr-
tunitics to try the battle of life and
work out their own destinies. Any
thing but the admiXturc of blood
which has borne such fatal example
in Mexico and most of the Spanish
American States. That would give
the best hope, too, for negro preser-
walton. For otherwise the white
blood will eat him out in the course
of time But such a process of get
ting rid of the negro must be at an
awful cost of while decentralization.
If there is n Craftsmanship wise
enough 10 effect ID, tho two races
should be kept apart for the mutual
good, and the severcst laws should
be enacted against the marriage OF
the blOOds. THERE'S mutual death in
the two blOOds to each other. Our
Northen people seldom if ever seem
to think of these as some of the re-
sultsof their politics on the question
of ethnOlogy. The negroes are too
few among them to cause alarm
for the future. Bnt is il not mar
velOus that the respectable citizens
of New Orleans who lately met and
deliberated on CarOndelet street
did not think of it? Can they con-
template with satisfaction the pros.

blood in the puddle of hybred adj

problem is to be solved, but certain

white race should carefully abstain,
by all acts of their own from giving
