We do not attach much impur
tance to the recent extreme, slander
sus utt-rances Of Col Bl,nio,
Duncan. Of Miss as to the Negro in
his letter for Iotori-ty to senator
lsct Daniels of V.rsinia.
His lLhuman AMI unchristiaA
theories are exploaed errors If Lhe
p .st. The wonder is that man OF
SENSE could wli.e such trash iu tue
the light of this age with evidences
on all hands Of the f.,l<ity of the
assertions.
Is it not this very sigul ,rity OF
novelty OF such views, 50 widely at
Variance with the general b lief,
which has caused this lover Of nolo
riety to court public attention bj
giving uttsrance 10 them?
We do not see bu, that Col. Dll.
can will be most.hunbied by letting
him severely alone. Certainly his
vaporings are harmless aud wilho III
any sting.
By the will Of Providence tie
Negro pushes steadily forward. not
only making an honest living but
aspiring hig her, and in thousands Of
schools and colleges cultivatlng his
mind and acquiring tie accomplish
ments with success; 10 business and
the professions distingui hing him
self by energy and merit withal
steadily if slowly acquiring property
and making himself an independent
self supporting, useful member OF
the government. Let US rejoice and
take courage that III this worthy
struggle more and more the good
people North aud South are aid
ing by their sympathy and support.
