THE CAUSE.


! The human creation is group or famil
composed of several species some six or sey
en- Of which are sufficiently known to be class
ed and defined with absolute certainty
Among all the innumerable beings composin,
the organic world, there is no such thing a
single species, and the absurd dogma O
q single human species or race, so universal
| y accepted in modern times, it Is irraAona
and utterly in conflict with the fixed ant
fundamental laws of organic life, as the ide,
or notion ofa stick with single end is ir
conflict with the laws ofphysics. Superb
cial and ignorant minds fancy that if negroes
are not black white men, or colored men, a.
they term it, why, :hen, forsooth, they mus
be something midway between as and ami
mails; as if because the Crotalus or rattle
snake was not the same as the gsrtersnake
why, Of conrse. it must be half bird or fish
or some other monstrosity midway between
snakes and some other form of life!


We see all about us, every day, on every
side, the manifestations oft simple and fl
ed laws of organic life. All are grouped to.
gether in families. The eagle and the owl
are both birds, as are pigeons, robins, SC.
but different birds. So with fishes, the shad
salmon, trout, pickerel, &c, are all fishes
but different species, Of course. So with
serpents-the black snake, tho adder, moe.
casin, garter and rattlesnakc, are all alike
snakes, but what world of difference be.
tween the harmless little reptile of our gar
dens and the rattlesnake, that.venomous and
terrible creature that strikes and kills in an
hour!


Again among dogs it is seen they are all
dogs, all with the capacity of interuniou
yet what an almost boundless difference be.
tween the graceful aud intelligent hound or
pointer, and the brutal and stolid bulldog
Can any one be so stupid or wicked as to try
to educate the bulldog into the habits of the
the hound! or to force then, to live tho same

these creatures, whom GOD has made differ.
ent and desi gned for different purposes, to
fulfil the same purpose Surely there is as
great relative difference between the eau.
sasian and the negro as there is between the
hound ard bulldog, and to force the fonaer
into Impartial freedom" involves as gross
and as awful an impiety as to strive to equal
ize the latter, or to compel beings whom God
has made different to manifest the same quail.
tiles and to live ont the same life. Bat 1t is
not necessary to multiply words IN a subject
of fact-demonstrative. physical fact. All
that is needed to a rational mind. or even to
the lowest grade Of intelligence is the simple
statement IF these facts, with the unavoidable
differences that belong to them, to convince
the widest and most bewildered among us OF
the awful errer under which they are labor
ing in respect to the social order and domestic
institutions of the South.


As has been said the human creation is a
family or form ofllfc composed of some six or
more species. Like all other families or
forms oflife. they have a generic resemblance,
but are specifically different. This difference
is uniform and obsolute, fixed forever by the
hand of God, end no human ignorance, folly
or impiety can ever modify it to the millionth
part of an elementary atom. The difference
in the physical-the mere organic structure
peryades the entire moral and intellectual
being, so that comprehending the former we
can easily measure the latter, or in other
words. tho physical differences between the
white man and the negro represent exactly
the Intellectual.


AS with all other genera, there is a certain
capacity Of interunion in the several human
species, less, however, in the Instance of eau.
cassians and negroes than in other races, for
the two occupy the extremes of the generic
column, the former being at tho head and the
latter at the base of this column. There is
always an imperfect vitality in the mulatto
and mongrel vergingt to absolute sterility, and
the fourth generation of the former is as alb
solutely forbidden to multiply itself as the
mule in the first generation.


Such, briefly presented, are the funda-
mental and everlasting tacts-fxed forever by
the hand Of God-the negro is different and
wildly different human species, the most in.
terior as the white man is the most superior
of all human races. Why is this So or when
or how the Almighty Creator saw fit, in His
boundlcss wisdom and infinite goodness. to
thus ordain things, we do not know, nor ever
can know. It is hidden from us, as is the be-
ginning and the sading of cur own individu-
al existence, and tho man or the men who
seek to know ito penetrate the counsels Of
the Eternal-to know VIXEN, or how, or why
the human creation exists, as it now stands
before us, palpable to the sense and unchang.
able in its diversities, commit similar folly
to that of the individual man who might
seek to know either the beginning or the end
of his own existence. 1t is fact, existing,
unch hangable and everlasting, while the or
ganic world itself exists, that the human
creation consists of several separate species Of
men: differing just as widely as do species in
other and all other forms Of life, aud to shut
our eyes TO this fact and blindly, studidly and
wiekedly assume them all to be single spe.
ces, we must not only continue to infict a
terrible punishment on ourselves, but we
shall richly merit ush punishment


This negro race is here, must always re-
main here, for it is wanted here, and ifsome
infinite power should interpose and suddenly
apnihil.tc it, we would instantly SGT to work
