and cbarlatan, offers Us as remedy 'he

he is. and how little does he understand Ine
social evil of Southern society.

The Tribune is quack and enthusiast.
It NAV talk 10 New York, where it is hot
directly aware from experience OF the IN
cGaccablc distinctions of mind and physique
of the negro and white man, OF the posi-
bii,v through education OF making them
" equally tit for the duties of citizens; 1t
may suit Furnishing newspaper like The
Tribune. which is practically ignorant OF
what il talks about, TO think that such
equality attended with prosperity and con-
tcutmcnt and the maintenance OF the dis
tjnc.ions OF race are practicable. But II the
editor of The Tribune were acquainted win
the facts. he would not be so simple,
50 great an imrrac,icable, as TO print
any such propositions. Equality is only at
tainable by the degradation of the While
nan TO the level Of the negro, and from such
Il state Of society every man in the Union
should iift up his voice in invocation 70
Heaven. 1t would be fatal to both races and
drag this country down to state of degra-
dation that would be an offence to the civil
lied world.
The Tr3buse's remedy is an utter delu-
sion. and all the worse because il may make
an impression upon the minds OF SO many
white people; because it will encourage an
impracticabe idea which already exists in
m.uy minds.
Common schools are no remedy in the
case. You bad as well try to establish
equality by washing the negro white. The
Uaople OF this Union have this truth TO find
out, and The sooner they find it out the bet
ter. This Union cannot long stand this
III cookery, this deiu>ion of tanaticism. til
indispensable 10 the contcntment Of society
that the black and white races shall be sepa-
rated from one another. 1t is Indispensable
to the contentment Of both that they should
govern themselves according to their respec-
tive tastes and capacities and, above all, it
is Indispensable for this country that lis popu-
lation should be homogeneous and harmonic
Gus. 1t cannot reach the position Of highest
dignity and force without this. The higher
syalks of life must be replenshed from the
school 0. labor, and. that school should be
wholly composed of the best type Of man,
or the source of replenishment will be hope
lcssly, detective and a failure.
Moreover, this Union cannot exist half
wealthy and half pauperstd. The whole
people must be energetic, rrovidenf, and Sd
sacious. They must look ahead and must
provide for the future as well as meet-the
wants of the present. This the negro can
not do, and the country where be exists in
large numbers must be poor and embar-
raised, and will become more and more so
as his proportionale number in society is In.
creased.
No man north of Mason aud Dixon is
kinder to the negro than his late master. No
man here ever wants to see him slave;
but sensible whites see the absolute necessity
OF a separation of the white and black races.
They cannot live as equals, and for the
peace of both they must be separated.
This will be in time seen by the North as
well as the South. 1t may be deemed too
great a labor to undertake; but there never
was anything socially necessary that could
not be accomplished in some way. The
light will reach the northern eye-slower,
we regret to say, than it is presented to us
OF the South, but come it must, and then all
will see the mere mockery, the abominable
delusion, OF the common schools as remedy
tor cur Ills.
