to live with 'em and die with 'em, and

yard and when Gabriel blows his horn
can rise from the dead with 'em with

hilarity Of the occasion, as General
Toombs said.

love these old darkies, not as my
equals, but as | love my children. /
love them because they love me and
are dependent upon me- The relation
between the white and black race is
by nature one Of protection on the one
side and dependence upon the other,
and when it ceases ito be that | have
no use for the niger. 1t is always
pleasure to me to befriend EN- when
they want my friendship and my help,
but when they aspire to be my equal

no further sympathy. l have been

any hand in making 'em that way. 1t
is their human nature and they can't
help it, and l have a sovereign con-
tempt for any effort their people are
making to change their relation to Us,
for 1T can't be done.
The education of the niger is
humbug, so far as to make him a good
citizen. 1t has been tried already,
and has proved failure. His best
education is one of contact, close con-
tact with the white race. If we will
let the negro alone and keep him out
OF politics he will get along very we'll
and there will be no problem to solve
There never would have been any
problem If he had been let alone. He
has no business with office or in ile
jury box or in the legislature, and he
never will have. This is white man S
government and the white man must

dominant race. We don't want the
Chinaman nor the Indian to make our
laws. AS a laborer and a servant and
dependent had rather have the negro
lation to us just suits him, and when
you try to lift him out of it you make
him fool and vagabond and render
him unhappy. / don't want him a
slave any more, for his slavery was no
advantage to us. l had a lot of EN-
myself and know they were no profit
to anybody except few exacting mas
tiers who made of slavery all the foul
blot" there ever was in it. There is
no problem to solve unless we make
one.
The white folks can't all be Wander
bits and the niggers can't be white
folks. Let us all be content with our
destiny and not fuss around because
somebody else is better off. Let us
take things as we find em and do the
best we can. Folks are very much
like horses. If you breed 'em too fine
they are not fit for the wagon or pillow.
We have got to have different sorts of
folks, and nature knew it, or size
wouldn't have made 'em different.
Parallel of the Indian.
This morbid sympathy for the poor
negro is wasted. Why not have it fer
the Indian? We robbed him of his
land and run him off and have been
cheating him ever since. He is, by
nature, of higher order of humanity
than the negro. He has more pride
and more emotion. He has more re-
venge and more gratitude, for these
two things always go together. 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 negro. 1t suits and
fits both races and hope it will stay
so. l heard an old physician say that
he had never seen great-grandchild
that descended from mulatto parents
in mulatto succession. The crossing
of races has never improved them.
Not even will the Jew and the Gentle
mix with harmony. John Randolph
boosted of his Pocahontas blood, but
reckon it run out in John, for that was
the last of it. History makes no record
of two races living together in peace
unless one was in state Of depend
ence upon the other. Our modern phil
anthropists are deceiving the negro
when they fatter him with capacity
equal to the whites in fitness to invent
or to govern, or to rise to the heroic
or the sublime l reckon if one of
our millionaires was to die and leave
his money for the education of poor
white children i. would be a violation
of some Of the constitutional amend
ments. We want to help the negro,
but we want him to help himself first
He has got to work out his own ad-
vancement by industry and by saving
what he makes before education will
do him any good. DR.. Mayo, of Bos-
ton, was the superintendent of edu-
