The above SENTENCES show what
was thought onsthis matter by the
great Apostle Of modern republi-
canism. They are sentences which
ifcarved upon his tomb would prob.
ably diminish the .ntlmber Of wor-
shippers at that Mecca Of Negro
dom, but they contain truths that
the white man would d. well to
ponder and the black man would
do well to believe.
Tokens are not wanting that q
healthy tono Of thought is superced-
ing the .sickly sentimentalism that
spread over this country-on theme
gro question after the great qanaict
that produced emancipation. The
conduct Of the negroes had materi-
ally aided in producing this healthy
reaction. We do not think it haz.
ardous to predict that there will be
a total revulsion in public senn.
ment on this matter within the
next two.years. The negro is not
the equal of the white man and
cannot beomade SO. In a country
where the two races have long OK
listed in the position of master and
slave as here, you cannot by law
produce that which custom, preju-
dice, and instinct forbid. AS the
fugitive slave law was not and could
not be enforced in the North because
of a controlling public sentiment

Rights bill which shall attempt to
make white and black companions

at theatres and the race track, will
never be executed in the South. :.
+ And we wish here to state anoth,
er conviction the Caucasian has.
fThe negro, by claiming too much,
is in danger Of losing that which
has already been conceded to him.
He has aroused the pride Of race,
amour propre Of the white man, and
the dictum of Mr.. Lincoln may. be
yet, considered by the party which
honored him living, and mourns him
dead, as a, bequest, the execution
of which is to it a paramount'd duty.
The recent Enactment by an over.
whelming predominant majority Of
Republican Congress prescribing
qualifications Of jurors in the Uni
nEted States Courts can be aimed at
nobody but negroes, and that Con
gress will not have finished its next
session before another blow will be
given in the same direction. Let
them fall thick and fast. af
