Farewell! but whenever you welcome tne honr
That awakens tbe night-song of mirth in your
bower,
Then think of the friend who welcomed it too,
And forgot bis own griefs to be bappy wilh yon.
-His griefs may return—not a hope may remain
Of tbe few that have brightened his pathway of
pain—
But he ne'er will forget tbe vision tbat threw
Its enchantment around him while liugeriog with
you!
And still on that evening when pleasure fills np
To the highest top-sparkle each heart aud each
cup,
Where'er my path lies, be it gloomy or bright,
My soul, bappy friends, shall be with you lbat
night.
Shall join in your revels, your sports, and yonr
wiles,
And return to me beaming all o'er with smiles :
Too blest il it tells me that, mid tbe gay 0 icer,
Some kind voice bas murmured, "I wish he were
here!"
Let Fate do her worst, there are relics of joy,
Bright dreams of the past, wbich she cannot destroy I
Which come in. the night-time of sorrow and care,
And bring baok tbe features tnat joy used to wear.
Long be my heart witb such memories filled 1
Like the vase in which roses have once been de-
stilled ;
You may break, you may ruin the vase if you will
But the scent of the roses will bang round it still

A Flexibij: Platform.—The lollowing platform
says tbe (Corydon Democrat) we have arranged
to suit all parties. It is a trinity io Union—three
in one. The first column is the Secession platform;
Tbe second is tbe Abolition platform; and tbe
whole read to together is the Democratic platform.
The platform is like tbe Union—as a whole it is
Democratic ; but divided, one-half is Secession and
tbe other is Abolition :
Hurrah for The Old Uuion
Secession Is a curse
We fight for The Constitution
The Confederacy Is a league with hell
We love Free speech «
Tbe rebell on Ia treason
We glory in A free press
Separation Will not be tolerated
We fight uot for The negroes' freedom
Reconstruction Must be obtained
We must succeed At every hazard
The Uuion We love
We low; not The negro
We never said Let the Union slide
We want Tbe Union as it was
Foreign intervention Iu played out
We cherish The old flag
The stars and bars Is a fl mating lie
We venerate The habeas corpus
Southern chivalry Is hatelul
Death lo Jeff. Davis
Abe Lincoln Isn't the Government
Down with Mob law
Law and order Shall triumph
Fifth Avenue and the Five Points-
Practical Movements Towards
Miscegenation.
Some time ago we received a very mysterious
pamphlet, called "Miscegenation: the Theory of
the Blending of the Races Applied to the American white man and Negro." At first we ihought
this silly affair a hoax, concocted by'come Bbrewd
wit ns a caricature, upou amalgamation, aDd.
though often requested to read and notice it we
never considered it worth tbe trouble. In this, as
it seems, we did not display our usual sagacity,
for the pamplet has sold witb astonishing rapidity
its doctrines have been endorsed by all tbe prominent Abolition radicals, its theory will probably
be a planu in the radical platform during this Pre-,
sidential campaign, and an attempt was made in
this city on Saturday last lo practically inaugurate tbe system. N '
The reception of the Twentieth regiment of negro volunteers was tbe occasion, and tbe Club
House of the Union League was the locality of
this inauguration of miscegenation. We have re-
ceiveo the brave boys of Maine, the brave boys of
Vermont the brave boys of New Hamspire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York.
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, and other
loyal States ; but, although we received them very
kindly and hospitably, we gave none of them sucb
a reception as our first families gave this regiment of negroes. Aristocracy sides with aristocracy, and so our best society neglected tbe common white trash and reserved tbeir utmost courtesies for the refined, cultivated and chivalric recruits from Sullivan street, Broadway Alley and
tbe Five Points. Even our veteran troops, scarred by a hundred battles, were never so enthus-
astically greeted as were these ex-boot-blacks,
scrubbers, waiters and whitewashes, whose battles are yet to come off, and whose heroism is chle.
fly vouched for by Nature, who bas denied tbem
tbe privilege of ever turning pale with fear. Nothing but the theory of miscegenation can account
for tnis difference between the receptions of white
and negro troops.
One hundred and fifty ladles, belonging to tbe
best society of New York, subscribed to a flag for
tbe colored volunteers. Io a beautifully worded
note Ihey style themselves "the mothers, wives
aod sisters of the New York Union League
Club ;" and call the flag "an emblem of love aud
honor from tbe daughters of this great metropolis
to ber brave champions; and promise the darkeys
tbat they will ♦'watch tbeir career, glory in tbeir
heroism, minister to them when wouaded, and
honor tbeir martyrdom with benedictions and
witb tears." Are these promises, like piecrust
made to broken ? If not, this is a pretty fair start
lor miscegenation. Wby, tbe phrase "love and
honor" needs only the little word "obey" to become equivalent to a marriage ceremony; and,
surely, if the daughters of tbe Fifth avenue ha'i
really married the negro recruits they oould do
no mora than "minister" to them and "glory'
in them, give tbem " benedictions and tears," as
they have contracted to do already in the presence of Providence of Mr. Charles King, whom
Mrtjor Noah used to term "the Pink of good society/'Mr. King was once editor ot a paper called
tbe American; bat Noabs's ridicule convinced
him that he had not talent enough for an editor,
and so he retired into that asylum for good society people of week Intellects—Columbia College—
and degenerated from a journalist to a profesor.
If Major Noab ever raises bis head from the sod
of Greenwood and takes a look at passing events,
how he will roll about in bis grave and shake tbe
cemetery witb sepulchral laughter at the spectacle of Charles King, "the Pink," spouting second
hand bonbast to a lot of ignorant darkeys on a
Saturday afternoon in union square. Should there
be any truth in spiritualism we hope to hear from
Major Noab on tbe subject.
Tbe pamphlet upon miscegenation to which we
have relerred takes higher ground than the "higher law." It argues tbat tbe negro is nol only
equal to the white man, but actually his superior
and that tbe white race must be mixed with tbe
black in order to attain its perfeelion. Miscegenation, therefore, is absolutely "essential to American progress." "In course of time tbe dark races must absorb the white." "All religions are
derived from the dark races." The Irishman' was
originally of a colored-race;" but now "be bas
sunk below tbe level ofthe most degraded negro."
'Between tbese two races' the-Irish and thenegro-
"the first movement towards miscegenation will
take place." Are Mr. Chase King and the one
hundred and fifty ladies aud their husbands, sous
and brothers, Irish, then? "Tbe white people of
America are dying for want of flesh aod blood;
they need contact with healthy, loving, warmblooded negroes to fill up the lean interstices of
tbeir anatomy." Is that tbe platform ot tbe Union
League? "All the characteristics ot the ideal ot
beauty in woman belong, in a somewhat exaggerated degree, to the negro girl." ls tbat tbe ideal
of our best society ? -'The blondes love the
blacks; Horace Greeley, Wendell Philips, Theodore Tilton—all blondes—love the negroes by
natural-law." Does this account ior the mingling
of whites and blacks at Union square? "When
the President proclaimed emancipation be proclaimed also tbe mingling of the races; the one
follows tbe other as surely as nooday follows sunrise." Is Mr. Lincoln, too, a miscegenalor ? "The
position of the Republican party to-day proves
how tar we are towards the truth." Verily, tbe
soul of John Brown is marching along. Our predictions of a piebald Congress and mulatto President, uttered years ago. are surely coming to pass.
But ibis trold aud silly pamphlet does not hesit-
tate to dabble with Ihe next Presidency. It says
"that the solution of the negro problem will not
have been reached in tliis country until! public
opinion sanctions a union of tbe two races ; .that the
next Presidential election should secure to every
black man and woman the rest of their social and
political rights, and that the progressive party must
lisetoihe height of the great argument and not
flinch from the conclusions to which they are
brought by their own principles—viz. that we must
share with the negro our hearts and homes." This
js the doctilnce ofthe radical abolition parly.—
Wendell Phillips endorses it in his speeches. So
does Henry Ward Breecher, So do CheeVer, Tilton, Gariison and the rest. So does Parker Pills-
bury, in a published letter. So do Angelina G
Weld, Sarah M. Grimke, Lucretia Mott, Horace
Greeley and other old women. So does Albert
Brisbane, who quotes Fourier to back bim. So
does J. McCure Smith, who writes to tbe anonymous author ofthe pampelet:—'I am perfectly
willing to add my signature to your doctrines but
is it not rather a cool proceeding on your part to
expose-oui- beads to shillelahs while you keep your
own out of sight?" So does Wm. Wells Brown,
himself a negro and ready to marry a white heiress
offhand So does Charles King, "Pink of good
society." So do the members of tbe New York
Union League Club, their wives and daughters.—
So will the whole abolition party, as soon as they
deem it prudent. So wi 1 the abolition candidate
for the Presidency, either openly or secretly. This
pamphlet is to the future what Helper's "Impending Crisis" was to the present—a prophecy and a
warning. People of America, look whither you
are drifting.—New York Herald.
Practical Amalgamation.
The female Abolitionist at Port Royal, it appears, have commenced reducing the amalgamation, or miscegenation theory (0 practice. Tbe
decency ot the operation may be questionable, but
its honesty must be admitted. Tbe New Hampshire Patriot, a paper of too respectable a character to make such a statement without the evidence to sustain it, informs Its readers that many of
tbe female Abolitionists wbo went to Port Royal
as teachers of negroes, have been successful in at
least one branch of juvenile development. It say s:
"Private advices from Port Royal say thut many of the female abolitionists wbo went to Port
Royal to teacb tbe little niggers how to read and
pray have been obliged witbin the past few months
to abandon their black charges and open nurseries
on their own private account. An officer informed
us recently that no lees than sixty- four spinsters
bad contributed tb the population In and about
Port Royal harbor. The climate seems to favor
population even more than the production of Sea
Island cotton by paid negro labor.
'The information furnished ns by tbe officer concerning tbe sixty-four little mulattoes bas been
confirmed by the testimony of the R8v. Liberty
Billings, Lieut. Col. of the First South Carolina
Regiment, who is here in oonsequece of ill health.
He says it is a sad truth."
"A sad truth." Why "sad I" It fc only carrying out tbe doctrines ofthe dominant party—and
1 hose female Yankee teachers wbo bave broken
tbe Ice are the first mothers in the new Israel.
Sumner should make an oppropriation.—Constitutional Union.
9 , ..Miscegenation.**
The Sonoma Democrat Says :
As the word whioh heads this article may fee
unintelligible to many of oar readers, we will inform tbem tbat it is a new term ior amalgamation
or a general admixture and intermarriage of tba
white aod blaok races. A pamphlet under the
above title has recently made its appearance In
New York, which haB received the endorsement of ,
Theodore Tilton, editor ot Beecber's paper, tbs
Independent, Wendell Phillips, Miss Dickinson,
aod tbe leading Republican orators and writers.
As the opinions and doctrines of thia elass of persons, have hitherto foreshadowed the course of the
Administration in regard to tbe negro, we may
shortly expect to see "miscegenation" adopted
aB part of its settled polioy, and steps taken to enforce it, as is now being done io Congress by tbe
measures pending in tbat body ior tbe establishment of a perfect social and political equality be
tween the two races.
The New York correspondent of tbe London
Times gives some extracts from tbis precious publication a portion of wbicb' with his comments, wa
publish below *
A few extracts from tbis work will serve to
convey to European readers some notion of tbo
fanaticism that so easily takes root in America,
aod of tbe fermentation of ideas, even of the most
disgusting kind, whicb may be made to prevail
among a people in times of social and political
revolution. The fundamental ideas of tbe new
a nacharsis Clootz, or worse than be, wbo is guilty
of tbe treatise. Is tbis : "Whatever tbere is of
power and vitality in tbe American race is derived,
not from its Anglo-Saxon progenitors, bat from
all the different nationalities wbich go to make np
tbis people. All that is needed to-make as tbo
finest race 00 earth is to engraft upon oat stock
tbe negro element wbicb Providence bas placed
by oar side upon this continent. Of all tba ricb
treasures of blood vouchsafed to ns that of tbo
negro is the most precious because it is tbe most
unlike any other tbat enters into the composition of our national life. ••*••• e
They (tbe negroes) are our brothers and sisters.
By mingling with tbem we become powerful, progressive and prosperous ; by refusing toedo so, we
become feeble, unhealthy, narrow-minded, unfit
for tbe nobler offices of freedom, and certain of
early decay."
The white people, be says, "are perishing for
want of flesh and blood.—They have bone and sinew, but they are dry and shriveled for leek of tbo
healthful juices of life. Tbe cheeks are shrunken,
the lips are thin end bloodless ; the under jaw
narrow and reclining, tbe teeth decayed and painful, the nose sharp and cold, tbe eyes small and
watery, the complexion of a blue and yellow hue,
tbe bead and shoulders bent forward, tbe hair dry,
and straggling."
This is tbe picture of the men ; tbat of tbe women is scarcely more flattering. The waists of
the women are thin and pinched, telling of sterility and'consumption ; the general appearance
gaunt and cadaverous from head to foot. You
see them," be adds, "witb eye-glasses aod spectacles, false teeth, artificial color on tbe face, artificial plumpness to tbe form ;" while tbe social Intercourse of tbe sexes be describes as being "formal, ascetic and unemotional." "How different,"
be says, "is an assemblage of negroes. Every
cheek is plump, tbe teeth are whiter than ivory,
tbere are 00 bald heads, the eyes are large and
bright, every face wears a smile, every form io
stalwart." In short, he says that American wbito
men need contact witb healthy, loving, warm-bodied natures to fill tbe lean interistiee of tbeir ana*
tomy, and tbat such natures are only to be found
amoug negresses. It is possible and highly probablo
that the author himself is one of tbe lean, gaunt,
bloodless Yankees whom be so eloquently describes, and tbat failing to find a wile to his mind
among tbe strong-minded ladies of whom Miss
Anna Dickinson and Mrs, Beeoher Stowe are tbo
types, he longs for a congenial partner from tbo
southern plantations. "Our prejudices," be says,
"are daing oat and nature Is asserting tbe unity
ol all men. Tbe negro declares tbat he loves tba
white man, and the progressive party oi the North
asserts tbe rights ofthe negro. The leaders of
progress, among whom we quote Wendell Pbilipo
and Theodore Tilton, urged mlscegenetie reform
(amalgamation of races.) Tbe American people
are ripe to receive the truth. Tbey bave touched
a chord tbat has vibrated with a sweet, strange,
marvelous music, awakening slumbering instincts
in tbe hearts of tbe nation and the world,
Were the ideas of this fanatic confined to himself they might excite laughter, disgust and con.
tempt; bat when expressed in modester and more
guarded language by Mr. Philips, or Mr. Tilton,
they elicit tbe approval of crowded audiences of
educated Americans, of whom a large preponderance are white women, tbe madness ofthe boor ia
tbis distracted country receives a new bnt unfra-
grant illustration. If this be done in tbo green
leaf, what shall be done Id tbe dry ? And through
what new phases of insanity must tba Americans
pass before tbe strong conqueror, booted and spur,
red witb a double edge sword io bis iron grip,
shall come to the cull of tbo timid majority to
rescue tbem from the shameless fanatics and tbo
ornel bigots who would drive tbem to destruction?
If Ben. Butler accomplishes no very brilliant
military campaigos, be at least succeeded in keeping the rebels on the alert, and worrying them
very badly.—N. Y. Independent.
Tbat seems to be Ben.'s forte, his speciality, and
bis "mission." We hope be'll keep at it. Ho
seems to have kept tbe owners of silver plate in
New Orleans oo tbe alert. He also roused tbe
femenines of that place very much about the cale»
ty of their wardrobes and plate. What a gallant
jhivalirous general 1 Hurrah ior the Beast.—Aa.

It is a trinity io Union—three in one. The first column is the Secession platform; Tbe second is tbe Abolition platform; and tbe whole read to together is the Democratic platform. The platform is like tbe Union—as a whole it is Democratic ; but divided, one-half is Secession and tbe other is Abolition : Hurrah for The Old Uuion Secession Is a curse We fight for The Constitution The Confederacy Is a league with hell We love Free speech « Tbe rebell on Ia treason We glory in A free press Separation Will not be tolerated We fight uot for The negroes' freedom Reconstruction Must be obtained We must succeed At every hazard The Uuion We love We low; not The negro We never said Let the Union slide We want Tbe Union as it was Foreign intervention Iu played out We cherish The old flag The stars and bars Is a fl mating lie We venerate The habeas corpus Southern chivalry Is hatelul Death lo Jeff. Davis Abe Lincoln Isn't the Government Down with Mob law Law and order Shall triumph Fifth Avenue and the Five Points- Practical Movements Towards Miscegenation. Some time ago we received a very mysterious pamphlet, called "Miscegenation: the Theory of the Blending of the Races Applied to the American white man and Negro." At first we ihought this silly affair a hoax, concocted by'come Bbrewd wit ns a caricature, upou amalgamation, aDd. though often requested to read and notice it we never considered it worth tbe trouble. In this, as it seems, we did not display our usual sagacity, for the pamplet has sold witb astonishing rapidity its doctrines have been endorsed by all tbe prominent Abolition radicals, its theory will probably be a planu in the radical platform during this Pre-, sidential campaign, and an attempt was made in this city on Saturday last lo practically inaugurate tbe system. N ' The reception of the Twentieth regiment of negro volunteers was tbe occasion, and tbe Club House of the Union League was the locality of this inauguration of miscegenation. We have re- ceiveo the brave boys of Maine, the brave boys of Vermont the brave boys of New Hamspire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, and other loyal States ; but, although we received them very kindly and hospitably, we gave none of them sucb a reception as our first families gave this regiment of negroes. Aristocracy sides with aristocracy, and so our best society neglected tbe common white trash and reserved tbeir utmost courtesies for the refined, cultivated and chivalric recruits from Sullivan street, Broadway Alley and tbe Five Points. Even our veteran troops, scarred by a hundred battles, were never so enthus- astically greeted as were these ex-boot-blacks, scrubbers, waiters and whitewashes, whose battles are yet to come off, and whose heroism is chle. fly vouched for by Nature, who bas denied tbem tbe privilege of ever turning pale with fear. Nothing but the theory of miscegenation can account for tnis difference between the receptions of white and negro troops. One hundred and fifty ladles, belonging to tbe best society of New York, subscribed to a flag for tbe colored volunteers. Io a beautifully worded note Ihey style themselves "the mothers, wives aod sisters of the New York Union League Club ;" and call the flag "an emblem of love aud honor from tbe daughters of this great metropolis to ber brave champions; and promise the darkeys tbat they will ♦'watch tbeir career, glory in tbeir heroism, minister to them when wouaded, and honor tbeir martyrdom with benedictions and witb tears." Are these promises, like piecrust made to broken ? If not, this is a pretty fair start lor miscegenation. Wby, tbe phrase "love and honor" needs only the little word "obey" to become equivalent to a marriage ceremony; and, surely, if the daughters of tbe Fifth avenue ha'i really married the negro recruits they oould do no mora than "minister" to them and "glory' in them, give tbem " benedictions and tears" as they have contracted to do already in the presence of Providence of Mr. Charles King, whom Mrtjor Noah used to term "the Pink of good society/'Mr. King was once editor ot a paper called tbe American; bat Noabs's ridicule convinced him that he had not talent enough for an editor, and so he retired into that asylum for good society people of week Intellects—Columbia College— and degenerated from a journalist to a profesor. If Major Noab ever raises bis head from the sod of Greenwood and takes a look at passing events, how he will roll about in bis grave and shake tbe cemetery witb sepulchral laughter at the spectacle of Charles King, "the Pink" spouting second hand bonbast to a lot of ignorant darkeys on a Saturday afternoon in union square. Should there be any truth in spiritualism we hope to hear from Major Noab on tbe subject. Tbe pamphlet upon miscegenation to which we have relerred takes higher ground than the "higher law." It argues tbat tbe negro is nol only equal to the white man, but actually his superior and that tbe white race must be mixed with tbe black in order to attain its perfeelion. Miscegenation, therefore, is absolutely "essential to American progress." "In course of time tbe dark races must absorb the white." "All religions are derived from the dark races." The Irishman' was originally of a colored-race;" but now "be bas sunk below tbe level ofthe most degraded negro." 'Between tbese two races' the-Irish and thenegro- "the first movement towards miscegenation will take place." Are Mr. Chase King and the one hundred and fifty ladies aud their husbands, sous and brothers, Irish, then? "Tbe white people of America are dying for want of flesh aod blood; they need contact with healthy, loving, warmblooded negroes to fill up the lean interstices of tbeir anatomy." Is that tbe platform ot tbe Union League? "All the characteristics ot the ideal ot beauty in woman belong, in a somewhat exaggerated degree, to the negro girl." ls tbat tbe ideal of our best society ? -'The blondes love the blacks; Horace Greeley, Wendell Philips, Theodore Tilton—all blondes—love the negroes by natural-law." Does this account ior the mingling of whites and blacks at Union square? "When the President proclaimed emancipation be proclaimed also tbe mingling of the races; the one follows tbe other as surely as nooday follows sunrise." Is Mr. Lincoln, too, a miscegenalor ? "The position of the Republican party to-day proves how tar we are towards the truth." Verily, tbe soul of John Brown is marching along. Our predictions of a piebald Congress and mulatto President, uttered years ago. are surely coming to pass. But ibis trold aud silly pamphlet does not hesit- tate to dabble with Ihe next Presidency. It says "that the solution of the negro problem will not have been reached in tliis country until! public opinion sanctions a union of tbe two races ; .that the next Presidential election should secure to every black man and woman the rest of their social and political rights, and that the progressive party must lisetoihe height of the great argument and not flinch from the conclusions to which they are brought by their own principles—viz. that we must share with the negro our hearts and homes." This js the doctilnce ofthe radical abolition parly.— Wendell Phillips endorses it in his speeches. So does Henry Ward Breecher, So do CheeVer, Tilton, Gariison and the rest. So does Parker Pills- bury, in a published letter. So do Angelina G Weld, Sarah M. Grimke, Lucretia Mott, Horace Greeley and other old women. So does Albert Brisbane, who quotes Fourier to back bim. So does J. McCure Smith, who writes to tbe anonymous author ofthe pampelet:—'I am perfectly willing to add my signature to your doctrines but is it not rather a cool proceeding on your part to expose-oui- beads to shillelahs while you keep your own out of sight?" So does Wm. Wells Brown, himself a negro and ready to marry a white heiress offhand So does Charles King, "Pink of good society." So do the members of tbe New York Union League Club, their wives and daughters.— So will the whole abolition party, as soon as they deem it prudent. So wi 1 the abolition candidate for the Presidency, either openly or secretly. This pamphlet is to the future what Helper's "Impending Crisis" was to the present—a prophecy and a warning.

The female Abolitionist at Port Royal, it appears, have commenced reducing the amalgamation, or miscegenation theory (0 practice. Tbe decency ot the operation may be questionable, but its honesty must be admitted. Tbe New Hampshire Patriot, a paper of too respectable a character to make such a statement without the evidence to sustain it, informs Its readers that many of tbe female Abolitionists wbo went to Port Royal as teachers of negroes, have been successful in at least one branch of juvenile development. It say s: "Private advices from Port Royal say thut many of the female abolitionists wbo went to Port Royal to teacb tbe little niggers how to read and pray have been obliged witbin the past few months to abandon their black charges and open nurseries on their own private account. An officer informed us recently that no lees than sixty- four spinsters bad contributed tb the population In and about Port Royal harbor. The climate seems to favor population even more than the production of Sea Island cotton by paid negro labor. 'The information furnished ns by tbe officer concerning tbe sixty-four little mulattoes bas been confirmed by the testimony of the R8v. Liberty Billings, Lieut. Col. of the First South Carolina Regiment, who is here in oonsequece of ill health. He says it is a sad truth." "A sad truth."

A pamphlet under the above title has recently made its appearance In New York, which haB received the endorsement of , Theodore Tilton, editor ot Beecber's paper, tbs Independent, Wendell Phillips, Miss Dickinson, aod tbe leading Republican orators and writers. As the opinions and doctrines of thia elass of persons, have hitherto foreshadowed the course of the Administration in regard to tbe negro, we may shortly expect to see "miscegenation" adopted aB part of its settled polioy, and steps taken to enforce it, as is now being done io Congress by tbe measures pending in tbat body ior tbe establishment of a perfect social and political equality be tween the two races. The New York correspondent of tbe London Times gives some extracts from tbis precious publication a portion of wbicb' with his comments, wa publish below * A few extracts from tbis work will serve to convey to European readers some notion of tbo fanaticism that so easily takes root in America, aod of tbe fermentation of ideas, even of the most disgusting kind, whicb may be made to prevail among a people in times of social and political revolution. The fundamental ideas of tbe new a nacharsis Clootz, or worse than be, wbo is guilty of tbe treatise. Is tbis : "Whatever tbere is of power and vitality in tbe American race is derived, not from its Anglo-Saxon progenitors, bat from all the different nationalities wbich go to make np tbis people. All that is needed to-make as tbo finest race 00 earth is to engraft upon oat stock tbe negro element wbicb Providence bas placed by oar side upon this continent. Of all tba ricb treasures of blood vouchsafed to ns that of tbo negro is the most precious because it is tbe most unlike any other tbat enters into the composition of our national life. ••*••• e They (tbe negroes) are our brothers and sisters. By mingling with tbem we become powerful, progressive and prosperous ; by refusing toedo so, we become feeble, unhealthy, narrow-minded, unfit for tbe nobler offices of freedom, and certain of early decay." The white people, be says, "are perishing for want of flesh and blood.—They have bone and sinew, but they are dry and shriveled for leek of tbo healthful juices of life. Tbe cheeks are shrunken, the lips are thin end bloodless ; the under jaw narrow and reclining, tbe teeth decayed and painful, the nose sharp and cold, tbe eyes small and watery, the complexion of a blue and yellow hue, tbe bead and shoulders bent forward, tbe hair dry, and straggling." This is tbe picture of the men ; tbat of tbe women is scarcely more flattering. The waists of the women are thin and pinched, telling of sterility and'consumption ; the general appearance gaunt and cadaverous from head to foot. You see them" be adds, "witb eye-glasses aod spectacles, false teeth, artificial color on tbe face, artificial plumpness to tbe form ;" while tbe social Intercourse of tbe sexes be describes as being "formal, ascetic and unemotional." "How different" be says, "is an assemblage of negroes. Every cheek is plump, tbe teeth are whiter than ivory, tbere are 00 bald heads, the eyes are large and bright, every face wears a smile, every form io stalwart." In short, he says that American wbito men need contact witb healthy, loving, warm-bodied natures to fill tbe lean interistiee of tbeir ana* tomy, and tbat such natures are only to be found amoug negresses. It is possible and highly probablo that the author himself is one of tbe lean, gaunt, bloodless Yankees whom be so eloquently describes, and tbat failing to find a wile to his mind among tbe strong-minded ladies of whom Miss Anna Dickinson and Mrs, Beeoher Stowe are tbo types, he longs for a congenial partner from tbo southern plantations. "Our prejudices" be says, "are daing oat and nature Is asserting tbe unity ol all men. Tbe negro declares tbat he loves tba white man, and the progressive party oi the North asserts tbe rights ofthe negro. The leaders of progress, among whom we quote Wendell Pbilipo and Theodore Tilton, urged mlscegenetie reform (amalgamation of races.) Tbe American people are ripe to receive the truth. Tbey bave touched a chord tbat has vibrated with a sweet, strange, marvelous music, awakening slumbering instincts in tbe hearts of tbe nation and the world, Were the ideas of this fanatic confined to himself they might excite laughter, disgust and con. tempt; bat when expressed in modester and more guarded language by Mr. Philips, or Mr. Tilton, they elicit tbe approval of crowded audiences of educated Americans, of whom a large preponderance are white women, tbe madness ofthe boor ia tbis distracted country receives a new bnt unfra- grant illustration. If this be done in tbo green leaf, what shall be done Id tbe dry ? And through what new phases of insanity must tba Americans pass before tbe strong conqueror, booted and spur, red witb a double edge sword io bis iron grip, shall come to the cull of tbo timid majority to rescue tbem from the shameless fanatics and tbo ornel bigots who would drive tbem to destruction?
