South Carolina.

"That is Just what It means, and the
reason Is that wherever and whenever an
inferior and superior race come In con-.
sion the inferior race must go TO the wall.
And shuts up the 7ri6a"e'S mouth by
saying:
sThe Tribune itself wisely remarked the
other day that only very few demagogues
and very ignorant people assert the pres
ent fitness OF all the sons OF Adam for free
government II stumbled across funda-
mental truth, and will not be allowed to
forget it,"
The Ne,cS gives quotation from Senator
EDMuNDs's speech on Che Chinese bill. 1t
is as follows:
"lf you 90 OF into the broad modern
civilization that free-traders and frce-think-
ers and free-loyers and free-cverybodles
maintain, of course you must say that AL
mankind are Of one kin, that they arc all
Of one nature, that they are all OF one des-
tiny, that they are all OF one syinpath!' anu
that they can be poured Into one common
rcccptacle everywhere with mutual adVan-
tage to every one Of the human beings who
is thus brought in contact and amalgama-
ton with other societies and human be-
ings; but the misfortune about 1t is that
the common sense, the common inf0rma-
ton, and the common observation OF every
body has demonstrated that that is not true.
The people of Massachusetts,, | do not
think, would he hungry for IN Eruption
Of 4 million Of the inhabitants OF the con-
tinent OF Africa to-day or tomorrow or
next year; not because tie people OF Mas
sachusetts have any hostility to the Afri-
lco Il ~ 1psii
yel0pment, his growth, his education,
every ameliOration that may belong to him,
but because they believe by instinct or by
education that it is not good for the Two
races to be brought into that kind OF con-
tact in that place. Speaking in part ior the
people Of Vermont, am sure it Is not so
as to them. II is based upon the belief that
nations and races, rs they have been con-
stiiuted 10y the God Of Nature, and 10y po-
litica and geographical divisions and az
rangementS, get on better rs separate ialnl-
lies with their separate independence and
separate institutions than they do amalga-
mated together, unless their origin, their
race, their tendency, their nature Is such
that, being put together, they aSSimiiate
and become one perfect, homogeneous, and
prosperous mass
No southern man could nave stated South
Cardinals doctrine more succinctly.
The Senator from Nevada, Mr.. JONES,
the friend of CoNKLING and ARTHUR, is also
quoted. He said last spring when dis
cussing the Chinese bill:
"The philosophy OF the history Of every
are and our experience OF the last seven
to- Il, t4..s
Dhccy that the African race will never be
permitted permanently to dominate any
State OF the South. The experiment Of
comforting upon them political power in
proportion to their numbers has thus far
proved 4 dismal failure, and, in my iudg-
ment, will so continue as long rs human
nature is as il is. The failure has not been
because we have not done everything we
could to make it succeed, but because laws
independent OF and above all human laws
have irrevocably stamped upon the one
race its superiority over the other. Intel
lect and intelligence are forces in this world
often greater than numbers"
Everybody knows where the "intellect
and Intelligence OF South Carolina are to
be found.
Senator MILLER, Of California, in discuss
ing the Chinese bill, said:
eve ask OF you to secure to us Amer-
can Anclo-SaXon civilization without con-
tamination or adultcgation with any other.
We Of this age hold this land in trust for
our race and kindred"
That Is, for the Caucasian race. Pretty
sound talk for a Republican.
% Ill
StalwaTt Republican, goes quite as far rs
the South Carolina Democrats. In the de-
bate on the Chinese bill he said:
q say the Caucasian race is superior in
mental force, intellectual yigOr, and morals
to any other branch OF the human family.
| have authority here that even the sena-
tor from Massachusetts, [Nlr. IIoarl will not
flout. have authority which l propose
to read that believe on a question OF this
kind is ~ GOOD a. can read. / believe,
in the history OF this people, that no man
has ever been connected with its govern
ment who has ever had Il greater love for
The human race than Abraham Lincoln.
say further that no man in this country
ever discussed the question OF the rights Of
the human race with a. much intelligence
y
cared over and over again in that memOra-
bic debate between stephen 4. Douglas
and himself in 1859, which attracted the
attention OF the whole world, that the ne
gro was on inferior race to the white man.
He repeated It again and again, and nota-
bly, at Columbus in 1851. that the negro
was and must ever remain the inferior OF
the white race
Mr.. MILLER quoted Mr.. LINCOLN as fol-
lows. Mr. LINCOLN said:
81 will say, then, that am not, nor ever
have been, in favor OF bringing about in
any way the social and political eQuaiitv
Of the 5ldck and White races; that | am
not. or ever have been, in favor OF making
voters or Jurors OF negroes, nor OF qualify
ing them to hold office or intcrmarry with
the white people, and | viii say in addi-
ton to this that there is physical differ
ence between the white and black races
which believe UU tOreUer forbid the ticO
races liUing together on terms of social and
political equality. And iuasmuch as they
cannot so live, while they do remain to-
gether there must be the position OF supe-
rior and inferior, and I, as much as any
other man, am IN fdUOr Of hdUinq the SUI
perior position assigned to the white race"
The NepS and Courier closes its article
as follows:
"The Tribune need not apprehend either
violence or fraud at elections in South Car
DINA. We have changed all that. The
Democracy are the white people, and the
white people are the Democracy. Demo-
cratic rule is wlkte rule, and white rule is
as necessary for the welfare Of the colored
people as for the well-being of the whites.
The superior. race, the whites. must pre-
vail for the reasons which Senator, Jones
Miller, Teller, and Edmunds give in their
