raust learn to. become familiar With such
bitches In the prosecute Of his scheme. forii
auelioratiDg the condition of the African,
and making unity and contentment in the
land where the races are In theii
present anomalous condition. Mr. WIN.
DOM cites the question OF the tariff
as one upon which Africans will besready
toydivide when the division upon the color
line is avoided by putting the negro ~ tisz
mIuoylry. It would bare been better had
the Senator named some other subject than
the tariff as that upon which the negroes
would divide. We rather think that would
somewhat perplex the African and addle his
brain.
But should Dir. WINpoS be forced, in his
attempt to rexdiust the races, to convey
some OF the negroes north OF the frost line,
he, too, would be violating the law OF
God, which limited the African to the
land south Of the frost line. Let him
attempt that, aud be wifi soon ind that
he had made mistake. But this we think
he has foreseen, as he explained recently
that he thought only OF removing the nc
groes from one southern locality to another.
Yet would that be iust9 We think not.
Nothing will be impartial In this matter
that fails 10 distribute or dif1'use the African
through all sections. II he is.a blessing to
the land, as many OF our northern friends
OF prominence have asserted, then it would
be wrong to deny TO our northern friends a
just proportion OF that blessing. If he be
an evil, it is not just that the South should
bear the whole Of it.
The problem that Mr. WINDOW has under
taken is indeed most difficult. Mr.. WIN
DOM ought to call to his aid the more pous
philanthropists, black and white, and with
them discuss the matter and see what can be
done. We can promise him one thing:
That he will be wiser when the discussion
is ended than when it began; but we fear
he will be no bearer q solution OF the ques-
ton than he is at present.
Mr.. WINDOW has learned that violation OF
the law OF man is one way to enforce subor-
dination temporarily; but he will find that
no more than the violation OF the law OF
God can that secure the prevalence of I'm
just and unnatural predominance.
Meantime the Senator is doing that which
will throw some light on political economy
in an chronological sense, and ultimately
point moral OF significant value to the
country ag.. Ia. =
