 We received on yesterday the ad- vance sheets of a book that will make an impression on American thought. It is entitled, An Appeal to Pharoah is printed anonymously, and deals with the race problem of the South.
 The writer starts with the proposi tion that the negro brought trouble to America, when he came, has been a source of trouble ever since he came, and will remain a source of trouble until he is deported from the country. He holds that the negro was the cause of sectional difference before the war-that he is the cause of sectional difference now-and will be the cause of sectional difference as long as he is permitted to remain.
 His next position Is, that for the first time the Republic finds itself face to face with the African. At first he wore the chains and rags of slavery. The war stripped these chains and rags and clothed him with the garb of citizenship. "Some of us, says the author, ''have stripped him of this robe. We are face to face with the African at last
 The author then argues that two races cannot live together in peace in any country-and history shows that they never have. If anyone had been asked prior to 1865 under what circumstances it would be possible to induce two separate races of mankind to live together on the same soil, on equal terms, and under common gov ernment, the answer would have been.
 l. That the races should be as nearly alike as possible, in all re- spects, to begin with.
 }. They should be as nearly equal as practicable in intelligence and wealth to insure equality in their joint relations.
 3. There should never have been any serious or long-standing cause of enmity between them that would likely be revived under any circum- stances.
 4. Both races should heartily de- sire the ultimate fusion of the blood that would wipe out racial difference.
 3. The experiment should be vol untary on both siees toinsure the en- thusiasm necessary to carry it out.
 6. The people most concerned in the problem should be left without in reference from an outside source of any sort to settle the problem as they thought best.
 These are the conditions under which the author holds the hereafter impossible problem of carrying two races side by side in equality, should be attempted. He then shows that at every point the race problem in the South is precicely opposite to the con dition noted above. We revlew:
 1. Instead of being as nearly alike as possible, the white and black race represent the two most unlike types of humanity in every respecti in which two races can differ.
 ,. Instead of being equal in in- telligence and power, there is a deeper difference than can be found between any two races on the globe.
 3. Instead of there being no pro- fessed cause of enmity or distrust, there has been the most serious cause for dstrust that one race could have given another, in that one of the two races of the South has been in servitude to the other, from which it was released by outside hands.
 4. Instead of desiring the fusion of blood, the two races in the South have absolutely set themselves against amalgamation as the one thing impossible under any circum- stances.
 3. Instead of the experiment be- ing voluntary on both sides, it was brought about by war which deso- lated and conquered one of the races interested in the problem while 1t freed the other.
 6. Instead of the two races being left to settle the matter themselves, the problem isirritated by an outside interference. hitter, partisan and ma
