THE AHALGAMATION QUESTION.

| In glancing over tie file of the BULLETIN
sue of December 18th, which is so peculiarly
apropos to the present time and trouble that
We reproduce it in full. The sentiments ex-
pressed then are our sentiments now, and we,
the people of this city, erred in not pressing
the matter then to a final conclusion. We
temporized and we were imposed upon, we
halted, and for the time, we were beaten.

The kilograms from Washington inform us
that the Republican party, to recover its
losses in the recent elections, have resolved
to pass civil rights bill and to enforce it for
the sole object of bringing back to the sup
port of the party the Southern States. That
the grand object to unite the negro vote is
the aim of the Republican Congress is appa-
rent from all recent demonstrations The
fiat has gone forth from the capital, and here
was to be made the first test TO prove the wis
dom of the policy.
There can be no doubt that the attempt
made this week by the Radical Board of
School Direstors to enforce the idea that the
negro was equal in all respects, intellectually,
morally and socially, with the Caucasian
race, had its origin at Washington. The
| Radicals seem never to have read history, or
| to have learned that it is only within a narrow
range of latitude that great men have been
born. We defy any one to name great man
who has appeared in the Southern Hemis-
phere.
The science Of archaeology has taught us
that the negro has never advanced morally
or intellectually, from the first stone laid in
the foundation of the first pyramid to the
present time. Of the descendants of Adam,
the negro had in the first start an advantage
superior to the white race, tor he had
| climate and soil which relieved him from
manual labor, ard left his brain, if he had
any, to work out the mysteries of nature and
solve the problem. of the distance of the
earth from the sun.
All the nations of the white, or Caucasian
race, sent out expeditions at vast expense to
ascertain what is the exact length of line
fastened at one end to the North Pole of the
earth and to the other end to the South Pole
of the sun, but the African and all other
races, not of the white, have not so far pro-
crossed. 1t matters not with them whether
Venus fiirts with the sun yearly or only in
century or two.
All philosophy informs us that no nation
can prosper which permits q heterogeneous
mixture of races that are physiologically
apart. An admixture of an inferior with
superior race produces hybrid progeny. We
need only to instance the descendants of the
Spaniards who first conquered Mexico and
portions of South America. The grand and
naughty companions of Cortez, by blood ad-
mixture with the negro and Indian, has be-
come what we all know, the present Mexican
race.
What has the white race to do but to pre-
vent the blood admixture of an inferior race /?
1t must assert its manhood--it must vindi-
cate the truth of natural laws-it must recog-
nize that physiology and psychology have
laws which must be obeyed-it must rebel
and resist all attempts to join that which
all experience has declared must be Kept
asunder.
The late attempt of the Radical School
Board to force social equality Vas nobly,
heroically resisted, by the earliest instincts OF
the female sex. 1t was not thought, it was
not reason, it was not study, it was not sci
ence, it was not hatred, i. was not politics =
revolted at any and every thing which was
not the dictate of that divine impulse which
protects the youthful mind of the female in
its innocence
We know, without urging, that the Cauca-
sian race of this city will resist nay, will
even become aggressive, if the attempt is
again made to degrade the white pupils OF
our public schools-schools supported by the
white race-to the social equality of the
African race.
The white race rule the world-the white
race rule America-and the white race will
rule Louisiana-and the white race shall rule
New Orleans.
