morallzed freedmen fed by the govern
lment, and both races guarded and pro
tected by General Palmer and 400
troops, and knowing of the murders
Tapes and robberies committed on the
the highways in the country, and The
loss of the remnant Of large fortune
In trying to reclaim his lands, make E
crop and cutting lumber with said de
moraIlzed labor, saw and was the first
man to conclude and publish his views
predicting the two races would never
llye together as they had done prior tc
and during the war in peace, safety and
| probably, but would drift farther and
farther from each other. Ny predlc
tlons have come true to the letter, and
will never be otherwise Tor the follow.
ing reasons: The Anglc-Saxon race
has pro;en itself in some respects supe-
rior to all colored races and Ged
seemed to haye ordained their seperate
and distinct calling and fields Of opera
ton, especially as to the white and
African races, as the mixing of the
blood OF the two races produces an Ell.
'eebled, delicate and short-liyed of
spring, and not adapted to the very
cold Or tropical climates as its respec-
tive ancestors are; consequently, the
| conamIn1ling Of the blood OF the two
races was forbidden by the Creator.
The history OF the world does not give
a case where two races so dissimiar
ever lived together in peace without
compuision or slavery, OR social eeuali-
ty and atnalgamation One must pre-
dominate and the other migrate, or
determination is inevitable, and God
does not favor either amalgamation or
determination, as these two races seem
to have their especial work OF evaneel-
ling their own respective races in
other countries. Hence the mission
sry movement.
For wise purposes God has oyerruled
the covetousness Of the superior to en-
slave the inferior race for a time only,
that the latter might learn civilization
ard Christianity AID go back to en-
tighten and Christianize their own hun-
dred million brethren in the Dark Con
tina1t; they being better adapted to
that great missionary work than any
other people. The wrath of man shall
praise him, and the remainder will be
disfranchised." Besides, man is his
brothers keeper, and the duty of every
man is to keep another. The kind feel
ing that existed between the former
slaye- holders OF the South and their old
slaves was destroyed by the sudden
emancipation, enfrancllisement and
bad ADVICE given the negroes by incom-
petent and wicked teachers of both
races after tie war closed. Seeing this
| advocated the gradual transportation
OF the negroes to Liberia, at govern
ment expense, in a pamphlet, and sent
copies to the President, and each men,
Der OF both houses Of Congress 90 years
ago. And now, if philanthropic indi- !!
viduals and churches wish to help to
elevate the negroes, let them do so by !
the best teachers and workers
TO be bad and orphans with them to
Liberia to establish manual laboring
homes and schools, and moaey to sup
port them and the natiys children
while being prepared for future useful
ness. Had this course been adopted
and faithfully executed thousands of
rapes and other outrages
would haye been prevented hundreds
Of millions of dollars worth of property
saved from the hands Of the burglar
and torch Of the incendlary, aud other
hundreds OF millions saved that have
been spent in restraining and punish
Ing offenders, as the South bad only
lew empty ialls and penitentiaries,
which haye been greatly increased in
numbers and all filled to overhowing
or third of a century, and our State
courts, officials and their expenses in
creased a thousand per cent. Besides
III this and noIe-the former friend
hip that existed between the two races,
md So proven by the peacefulness, con-
eminent and falthfulness of the slaves
Turing a most destructive and merci-
ess war OF four years duration, has
,een gradually giving away to dlscord
lnd hatred as is now proven by the
ace riots IN every Southern State, and
shen all the former slaves and their
ormer owners are all dead, which will
,e very soon, the new issue OF both
aces will haye driftei so Tar from each
ther as to make peaceful living i'm
osslble. Incompatability viii then
s written upon all our institutions,
politics and social Gus
oms. Already these questions are in
he most dep'orabla condition. The
