Ia It, There is no problem to solve un-

everybody likes him and respects him.
Mack is contenled and happy. l wish
everybody may be happy-and why can't
Mack's children get along the same wav.
| Wen. they can, and ,ley sill, ;f the col
lticlans will let 'em alone. The white
folks can't all be Eanderblts nor Jaw
Goulds nor Joe Browns, and the niggers
cant be white folks. Let us all be con.
tent with our destiny and not be fussing
around because somebody else is better
on. Let us take things "a we find 'em
and 90 the best we can. Folks are very
much like horses. If you breed 'em too
me they are not fit for the wagon or the
plow. We have got to have different
sorts of folks, and nature knew it, or
she wouldn't have made 'em different.
ihis morbid sympathy for the poor negro
Is wasted. Why not have it for the In
dian? We robbed him of his land and
run him off, and have been cheating him
ever since. He is by nature Of e higher
order of humanity than the negro. He
mas aiore pride aud moro emotion. He
has more revenge and more gratitude, for
these two things always 60 together, but
you can't wean him from the forest, for
that is his nature. The negro loves to
depend upon the white man and the
white man loves the homage of the ne.
gro 1t suits and its both races, and /
hope it will stay so. Fred Douglass
seems powerfully concerned of late about
the negro, aud says they have got to be
colonized or anna gamate. Well, they
nave tried the one and the other will
never be, for it is against the order of
nature. heard an old physician say
that he had never seen great grandchild
that descended from mulatto parents in
muiatto succession. The crossing of
races has never improved them. Not
even will the Jew aud the Gentle mix
with harmony. John Randolph boasted
of his Pocahontas blood, but I reckon it
run out in John, for that vas the last of
ces living together in peace unless one
was in state Of independence upon the
other. Our modern phianthropists are
deceiving the negro when they flatter
him with capacity equal TO the whites
in fitness to invent, or to govern, or to
rise TO the heroic or the sublime. Why
don't these philanthropists exercise
themselves little about Cobe's children
and thousands of others just like them.
l reckon if one of our millionaires was to
die and leave his money for the educa-
tion of poor white children it would be
violation of some Of the constitutional
amendments. We want 10 help the ne.
gro, but we want him to help himself
first. He has got to work out bis own
advancement by industry and by saving
what he makes before education will do
him any good. DR.. Mayo, of Boston, is
the superintendent of education in that
State, and he says, "The negroes must be
told that no people in any land was ever
30 marvellously led by Providence as
they have been for 250 years. Indeed
al! the good there ever was in slavery was
Cor them. It was that sevsEe schon! of
regular work and that drill in the prime.
val virtues which every race must get at
the start and their slavery was a charity
school compared with the DISSOLUTION and
tyranny by which the European nations
came up to their present civilized life.
II the southern freedmen now lie down
in stolid indifference to their future they
will deserve all that their most conlemp.
tuous critics say of them" That is sen.
sible talk.
There is no foul blot in that view of
slavery aud 1t Is good talk to the negro.
There is no politics in that, no south
ern outrage, no bloody shirt. 1t is much
better talk than ever expected frog:

the bad negro wants is less chaingapg
and more whipping, and the bad white
man should be punished the same way.
