Another hopeful race which this ft
of great condescension on the par. of
some our eountrymen would admit 20
the right Of suffrage aud to hold Office,
&c, is the Mongoliau, or yellow race,
now pouring into California. in the
shape Of the Chinese. These people
are the perfect antipodes of the white
race in every sense, and cannot posi-
bly, understand or take much interest
in our institutions. The Chinese have
been proverbial for their exclusiveness
as people, and long years ago built a
wall fifteen hundred miles long around
their land to keep out the outside barba-
riaus. Their policy of non intercourse
with other nations has been carried to u
ridiculous extreme, and whilst it is no
credit to them, at all events it is good
argument why we should exclude them
| from helping us to rule this land.
If it be right to admit the Negro into
political partnership we cannot refuse
any other race, and we would soon find
the most degraded people Of the world
foaking here to turn our country into
another Mexico, aud our political para.
disc into perfect pandemonium. In
stead of the negroes here emigrating to
the land from whence they came we
might soon behold fresh voluntary i'm
portatiohs Of Africans arriving on our
shores.


Some advocate the policy Of admit.
ting to tl", right of suffrage such of the
colored race as may be qualified by ed.
ucation or property. 1t would be bad
policy to extend this right to the most
accomplished negro in the land, for the
reason that il it be extended to one il
should be open for all. The same rule
applied to the whites must be applied
to all. I am happy to believe that the
race may become sufficiently improved
to exercise the right of self government
among themselves. If they are not it
is the best Of reasons why we should
not jeopardize our system Of government
by confering the ballot upon such in.
competent persons. Once impress these
people with the idea that some day they
are to become fully equal to the whites
in this land, and all notion of going
elsewhere to establish a government for
themselves would be at once abandoned
Believing that the prejudice of the
white race agaisst political aud social
equality with the negroes, is founded
on a natural law which must overthrow
all attempts at amalgamatiug the two
in one nation, aud that the attempts
now being made to produce a perfect
equality of the two races in this coun-
try, If persisted in, must lead to a war
of races aud the determination or cx-
pulsion Of the negro race from the land,
/ feel that it is high time to warn both
races Of the approaching danger. The
exodus Of the colored race, either TO the
land from whence they came, or to some
portion Of this continent, is among the
DEGREES Of fate. 1t may be effected in
peace if the people Of color listen to
reason and to the voice of their true
friends, otherwise not. Andrew john
son was scoffed at when he promised to
be the "Moses" to show them the true
way to the promised land; hut the
time must come when they and their
Radical hackers win fud that he was
speaking the words of truth and sober
ness. MONITOR.
