Only it is to be most earnestly and unyieldingly regretted that they are ever permitted to appear in the street at all. Erelong, this foul indecency must be disallowed. As an equitable and proper measure preliminary to their final exit from America, all the negroes ought to be immediately assigned to such unsettled and unfrequented parts of the country, as are far distant from the cities and towns; and even there, no matter how remotely located in the solitudes of the frontier, there should never be any manner of contact or association between the whites and the blacks.

Unlike all people who are good for anything, the negroes are everywhere the recipients of charity; but nowhere the granters of favors. Everywhere are they the coveters and the beggars of the property of others; but nowhere are they the profferers of anything in the least worthy of acceptance. They ought to pay-and, but for their utter indifference to all good counsel, they would pay-some attention to the terse and truthful words of Sir William Temple, who has said that,

"People who wholly trust to others' charity, and without industry of their own, will always be poor."

The negroes, like the poodles and the pointers, will always be the dependents and the parasites of white men, just so long as white men, unnaturally submitting to a wrongful relation, are disposed to tolerate the black men's infamously base and beggarly presence. Let the negroes be made to understand definitely, that, henceforth, they must desist from their daily importunacy in urging the acceptance of their dronish and dishonorable drafts upon the whites; and, in thus rightly and prudently dealing with the blacks, let the whites, as often as may be necessary, renew their recollection of the following rare words of "rare Ben Jonson:"

"There is no bounty to be show'd to such
As have no real goodness. Bounty is

A spice of virtue; and what virtuous act
Can take effect on them that have no power
Of equal habitude to apprehend it?"

Truly and admirably, in the main, did the New York Tribune, not a great while since, say:

"Nine-tenths of the Free Blacks have no idea of setting themselves to work except as the hirelings and servitors of white men; no idea of building a church, or accomplishing any other serious enterprise, except through beggary of the Whites. As a class, the Blacks are indolent, improvident, servile and licentious; and their inveterate habit of appealing to White benevolence or compassion whenever they realize a want or encounter a difficulty, is eminently baneful and enervating. If they could never more obtain a dollar until they shall have earned it, many of them would suffer, and some perhaps starve ; but on the whole, they would do better and improve faster than may now be reasonably expected."

Very significantly, and quite suggestively also, did Theodore Parker, in the course of a sermon which he preached in Boston, on the 31st of January, 1847, say:

"Not a fiftieth part of the people of New York are negroes; yet more than a sixth part of all the criminals in her State Prisons are men of color."

Something similar to what was then said of New York, might also, with equal truth, have been said of almost every other State of the Union—especially of those States wherein justice was impartially administered; and, indeed, the same might be appropriately repeated now, of each and every State respectively, not only in reference to criminals, but also in reference to paupers and beggars— and the more particularly and preponderatingly so, after a reduction from the count, of the many Catholic criminals and paupers and beggars from Europe.

Certain it is that we owe it to ourselves-and we ought

to be able to get rid of the negroes soon; but if they are to be retained much longer in the United States, (which may God, in his great mercy, forbid!) we may as well build immediately, for their relief and correction, in alternate adaptation, a row of hospitals and prisons, all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific; and, upon the same plan, a range or series of almshouses and penitentiaries the entire distance from Lake Superior to the Gulf of Mexico!

All the devil-begotten imps of darkness, whether black or brown, whether negroes or Indians, whether Mongols or mulattoes, should at once be dismissed, and that forever, from the care, from the sight, and even from the thoughts, of the Heaven-born whites. Wherever seen, or wherever existing, the black and bi-colored races are the very personifications of bastardy and beggary. In America, these races are the most unwieldy occasioners of dishonor and weakness; they are the ill-favored and unwelcome instruments of disservice; they are the ghastly types of effeteness and retrogression.

At the earliest practicable moment, these inutile and baneful elements of our population must be either deported or fossilized. Of the two processes of displacement here suggested-deportation or fossilization-which shall we adopt? Whilst always cherishing a large and well-matured disposition to yield to the fairly-expressed preference of a majority of his countrymen, the voice of the writer hereof, as against the negroes, and as against all the other non-white races of mankind, is for quick and complete fossilization-precisely such a vindicable and effective system of fossilization as is now rapidly removing from the fair face of the earth all the aboriginal tribes of the New World. What says the reader? Rightly interpreted, in reference hereto, what is the will of Provi

dence? what are the purposes and the decrees of the Almighty?

Let white men, all over the world, open their eyes, and serenely stretch out their vision upon the broad earth, and calmly survey the wide ocean, and contemplatively look upward in the direction of the high heavens; and let them rejoice with hearts overflowing with love and gratitude to God; for he hath ordered many good things to happen, and great things to come to pass. Soon are to transpire the unspeakably grand and glorious events which have been so long kept in reserve for us. The mighty and irresistible sword of the Lord hath been unsheathed against Ethiopia; and all the negroes, and all the other blacks and browns, whether in Ethiopia or out of Ethiopia, are to be laid low in the dust, and there fossilized! In the fifty-ninth part of a second after the final disappearance from the earth of the last member, respectively, of the black and the bi-colored races; in one instant, in the twinkling of an eye, after the whole world shall have been peopled exclusively by the whites, will the millenium dawn-but not till then!

CHAPTER V.

REMOVALS-BANISHMENTS-EXPULSIONS

-EXTERMINATIONS.

If the black man is feeble, and not important to the existing races, not on a parity with the best race, the black man must*** be exterminated.-RALPH WALDO EMERSON.

It is a question of races, involving consequences which go to the destruction of one or the other. This was seen fifty years ago; and the wisdom of Virginia balked at it then. It seems to be above human reason now. But there is a wisdom above human; and to that we must look. In the meantime, do not extend the evil.-BENTON.

No fact in the long history of the world is so startling as the wide and repeated exterminations of its inhabitants.-DARWIN.

In the event that a somewhat unusually capricious and tyrannical king should, as an act of brutality over certain of his subjects, introduce into their parlors teeming sows, and those sows should creep under the sofas and under the great arm-chairs, or topple them over pellmell, and among them give birth to litters of pigs, does it follow, therefore, that all the parlors of those of his subjects should be thenceforth and forever relinquished as drawing-rooms, and used only as pig-pens? Would it not, rather, be the duty of those sorely insulted and outraged subjects, to combine at once and overthrow the power of their king, and, at the same time, to oust all the sows and all the pigs from their parlors-and then to build for themselves new houses, and to furnish for themselves new parlors, which, under the more just and reasonable forms of republican government, should be perpetually guaranteed and protected, alike from the pestiferous authority of kings, and from the insufferable filth of sows and pigs?

For, all vitalized creatures, according to their nature, their dispositions, and their merits, suitable apartments
