canoe as to.the degeneracy of our Re
publican government than any other
sentence that could be given. The
sentence is SC repugnant to Southern
taste, refinement and dignity. that
their disgust is inezpressible, when it
is either advocated, practiced, or
sought to be legislated and incorpo
rated in the social fabric of this ma
ton. Sumner, and all his negro-lov-
ers, may hold this heresy to their
hearts as fondly as they would cher
ish the apple Of their eye, but the
Southern people will never degrade
their manhood, womanhood, pride
and chivalry to such a revolving spec
tacle. They may legislate, enact and
proclaim, but they never can success
fully foist this hydra headed monster,
this baneful "social evil" upon the
Southern people. There is an innate
sentiment in their hearts, which can
never be eradicated, to loathe the
hand that would offer such chalice
to their lips.


If negro social equality is ever
practiced in the South, it will be BY
Northern extractions, exotics, those
who come among us from distant
cline, where the African and Cau-
casian are dwelling in Tranquil un-
consciousness, believing it was but a
mere accident of birth and not a
determined purpose of God to create
them distinctive races. If God did
not want the two races to be separate
and distinct, then He would not have
given to the Caucasian pure white
skin, classic mould, straight and
glossy hair, and to the negro a deep
black skin,. british visase, curly and
crisp hair. This is an indispuiable
line Of demarcation, and they who
overleap it violate Gods natural law,
incur his displeasure, and place them
selves in an unenviable position.
WHAT is thy servant dog that he
should do this thing?" Ifitis done,
it will be by the law of necessity and
not by the option Of choice.


We had related to us few days
ago, where a Northern Methodist
preacher was practically cured of his
negro equality proclivities. He was
travelling in anupper county of Cher.
okee, Georgia, and stopped at the end
of day to remain the night with a
farmer. He, stranger, was kindly
and hospitality received. At the sup
pei table, this Northern guest very
earnestly aud arduously advocated
negro equality-said he thought it
eminently proper, socially and legally
right, for the negro to eat at white
man "a s table, sleep on his bed, and be
entertained in his parlor. The pro-
prietor Of the house, a man Of South
ern principles and birth, who believes
in the superiority of the white race,
listened to the mans views in silence,
butevidently. with heated iadigna-
ton: The supper was over, the hour
Of retiring arrived, when the propri-
etor of the house took down his double
barrel shot gun. heavily loaded, went
to the back door, called a hired negro
man, hig, buck fellow, and t then b!
ushered him into the bedroom Of the
Northern man and told him there was
his bed-fellow for the night. The
Northern man stubbornly refused
the Southern maninsisted-told them
both to turn in for the night or he
would kill them. He told the North
ern man lie had advocated negro So
cial equality, now he had to practice
it-tnat the dose he wanted prepared
for others, should first be taken by
himself to see how it operated. And
at the muzzle Of the gun they slept
together that night, s,0ectly no doubt.
Next morning the Northerner rose
and departed sadder and wiser man.
