THE RACE QUESTION.

Discussing the negro exodus
the New York Herald thinks
the great mistake. made by them
was rushing in great numbers to
a single point without prepara-
ton. 1t advises the negroes to
follow the example of the Irish
men, the Germans and the YAM
KEGS, who go as separate farui-
lies = individually. and almosl
: | ! !! ! !"
all ~ ~ dessir,-
u following tlI example of the
Irishmen, Germans and Yankees.
From the adoption of the if
teenth amendment until the
present time the friends of the
emancipated and enfranchised
have believed and acted on the
assumption that there is no es-
sential and fundamental differ
ence in the mental and moral
structure of the two races. The
unaccountable delusion prevails
in the face of facts such as can
be brought to bear upon no ott-
er subject of a similar character
within the whole range of scien-
tihc controversy.
The Republican claims that no
woolly-headed race ever had a
history. That portion of Africa
from which the ancestors of our
American negroes came is, SO
far as progress is concerned, just
where it was three thousand
years ago. On the Egyptian
monuments the negroes of that
age are shown to US in form and
feature precisely as we see them
now, but invariably in a servile
and subordinate condition.
The deduction is, that the
negro as, compared with the
average Caucasian, is. a child.
and although he will gradually
emerge from childhood, there is
nothing to justify the assump-
ton that he will ever attain the
grade CT manhood reached by
the superior races. The negro
being his own master appeals
and advice is useless as it is
wholly ineffective. The negro
having been given his freedom
is now at liberty to work out his
own salvation. That they are
lacking in judgment is proven
by the hegira to Kansas.
