volvrti no Menerlioa of the infonoritr
of the negro to the white pannenger j
out, coiicuuiiiif Um nirlit to be carried
precinely on the uunie J'ootinj; with a
wbite nian.it ussumes it to bo not
unreasonable to auwin planea in the
care to paneengera of each color. The
simple qucatlun is, wbelber a public
carrier niay, in the ext-mae ot hi
privato right of property, and in the
due pcrfurmunce of his public duty,
separate paaHengers by any other well
defined characu-ris.ic than that of sex.
Tue ladiun cur, it is known upon every
well-reL'ululed railroad, imtxiea no I oh
ot equal right on part of the excluded
sex, and us propriety is doubted by
none.
This question must be decided upon
reusuuable grounds. - If there be no
clear and reasonable difference to buae
it upon, separation cannot be justified
by mere prejudice. Nor is merit a
teat. The negro may be proud of his
service in the field as a defender of
bis country. But il was not thought
indefensible to separate even white
soldier from other patengers. There
is a clear and wcll-toundod UiiTcrence
between the civil and military char
acter, and the separation of soldiers
I mm ciuiens implied no want ol
equnltty, but sound regulation ol
tbe right of transit. .
The right of tbe carrier to separate
his pBNiiengers is founded upon two
grounds his right of private proper
ty in the means ot conveyance, and
the public interest. The private means
he unes bel ngs wholly lo himself, and
implies the right of control for the
protection or bis own interests, as
well as the performance of his public
duty. He may use his property there
fore in a reattonaoie m tuner, it is
not an unreasonable regulation to seal
paiscngcrs so a to preserve order and
decorum, and to prevent contacts and
collifioiis Brining from natural or well
known customary repugnancies, wbick
are likely to breed Uihiurtianceo by a
promi-cuous ailting. This is a prop
er use ol the right of private property,
beconne it tends to protect the inter
est of the carrier, as well aa the intcr
ertls of thoae ho carries. If the ground
ot regulation be reasonable, courts of
justice cannot interfere with his right
ol properly. A ne rigut oi me paa
senger is only that of being carried
salely, aud wilhadue regard to his
personal coralori and convenience,
which are promoted by a sound and
well regulated separation of paasun
gera. An analogy and an illunlralion
are fonnd in the case of an. innkeeper,
who. if he have room, is bound to
euti rtain proper guenis; ana so a cur
rier is bound to receive paswngors.
But a guest in an inn cannot select
bis room or bis bed at pleasure ; nor
can a voyager take rKession of a
cabin or a berth at will, or refuse to
obey the reasonable ordurs of the cap
tain of a Vermel. But, on the other
band, who would maintain thut il is a
raaeonable regulation, eithur of u inn
or a vasael, to com pel the pa Mongers,
black and white, to room or bed tc
cether? If riifhi of private prop-
on confer no riirbt of control, who
shall decide a contest between pas-
aumrcr lor seats or berth T Courts
ot justice may interfere to compel
th one w ho perlorm a buaineas concern
ing the publio by the um of private
means, to luinn ineir uuty 10 me
public, but not a whit beyond.
The publio alo has an interest in
the proper regulations oi puonc con
veyances for the preeorraliun of the
publio peace. A railroad company
Las tbe right and is bound to muke
reasonable regulations to preserve
order in their cars. It is the duty of
the conductor to repress tumult as
far as he reasonably can, and be may
on extraordinary occlusions sttip his
train and eject the unruly and tumul
tuous. But h has not the authority
of a pest officer to arrest and detain
offender. He cannot interfere in ths
quarrels of others at will merely. In
order to preserve and enforce his
authority ne) the servant of the com
pany it niusl have a power lo cutub
Iinh proper regulation tor the car
ringeof paiwengers. It is much easier
to prevent dtltie.tal'jes among paesen'
grrs by regulations for their proper
separation than it is to qnell them
The dnnger to the peace engendered
by thia Kding of avernion between
individuals of the different races can
not be denied. It is the fact with
ahich the company must deal. If a
negro take his seal betide a white
man, or bis wife, or daughter, th law
cannot reprcas lbs anger or conquer
the aversion which so ins will feel.
However Bnwise it may be to Indulge
the feeling, human infirmity is not
always proof agaiual it. It is much
wirnr to avert the oonseqaenecs of
this repulsion of race by separation,
tnan t purnirh afterwards the breach
of the peace il mny have canoed.
These views ar sustained ly hifh
authority. JadgA tStory, in bis Law
.,f HailmenU. statinff the duty of pas-
senfrora, "to submit to ucb reoriaWe
regulations as tho proprietors mnv
adopt for the convenience and com
fort ot the other pasdentrers as well
as for their own proper intereitts"
aaya: "Ilie importance of the doctrine
is felt more strikingly in cattes of
stcambouts and railroad cars." .ri!.'la;
see also J7(Jr. Angel on Curriers,
525. American Kail tray Cases,
34. J
The right to sopnrsto being clear
in proper cases, and it beinir tho sub
ject ot a sound regulation, the ques
tion remaining to do consitlorcd is,
whether thcro is such a difTeronco
between the wbite tin black rucos
within this State, resulting from na
ture., law, and custom, as makes it a
reasonable ground of maparatlon... The
question in one of diiluretice, not of
superiority or inferiority. Why the
Orcutor made one black and the other
white we know not: but the fact is
apparent, and the racos distinct, each
producing its own kind, and following
the peculiar law of it constitution.
Concerning equality, with natures as
perfect and rights as sacred, yet God
Las made tliom uissimilur, with those
natural instincts and feelings which
lie always imparts to his creatures
when Ho Intends that they shall not
overxtcp the natural boundaries lie
hits aniiL'tietl to them. I be naturul
law which forbids their intermarriage
and thut social amalgamation which
leads lo a corruption of ruce. is as
clearly divine as that which imparled
to lliem uitterent natures. J lie ten
dency of intimate Bociul intormixlure
is to amalgamation, contrary to the
law of races. The separation of tho
white and black races upon the sur
face of the globe is a fact equally ap
parent. Why this is so, it is not
neeeiwary to speculate, but the fact of
a distribution or men by race and
color, is as visible in the providential
arrangement of the earth as that of
heat and cold. Ihe natural separa
tion of tho races is therefore an unde
niable fact, and all social organisations
which lead to their amalgamation are
repugnant to the law of nature. From
social amalgamation, it is but a step
to illicit intercourse, and but another
to intermarriage. But to assert sep-
arateness is not to declare inferiority
in cither it is not lo declare ono a
slavo and the other a freeman ; thut
would be lodraw the illogical sequence
of inferiority from difference otily. It
is simply to say, that following the
order of Divine Providence, human
authority ought not to compel those
widely separated races to intermix.
The right of each to be freu from
social contact Is as clear as lo be free
from intermarriage. The former may j
be less repulsivo as A condition, but
not less entitled to protection as a
right.
When therefore wo doclaro a right
to maintain separato relations, as fur
as is re: 8 mnltly practicable, but in a
spirit of kindness and charily, aud
with duo regard to equality of rights,
it is not jirejndiee, nor caste, nor
injustice ot any kind, but simply to
sutler men t9 tollow the law of races
established by tho Creator himself,
and not to compel them to intermix
contrary to their instincts.
Nor can we disregard the laws and
customs of tho State. Indeed these
must bo our guido, leaving it to the
Legislature to correct the errors of
the law, or its departure from that
justiee which should ever bo its foun
dation. It is nnnecessury to reour to
the original condition of negroes as
slaves in Pennsylvania, or to trace
tho legislation of tho Province, (lis
linguishing them from the freemen
Nor need we, for the purpose of de
fining the status of the negro, refer to
that great law of emancipation in
170, whose preamble, tho most beau
tiful, just ant expressive ever prefixed
to a human statute, only prniessod to
extend to tho black race a "portion"
of our own fiecdom. We have a later
and an authoritative guide, the solemn
decision of this Court in 187, in tho
ease of Ilobbs vs. Kgi, 6 Watts, 55S.
Tho opinion came from the pen of I
luto C. J. Gibson and bears the I
the
Im-
print of his remarkable intellect.
It
is there shown from the laws, consti
tutions, and customs of tho Stats, and
from former decision of 5ho lli'li
Court of Errors and Appeals, that the
Slatus of the negro Lever tell within
tho term 'freeman" in the several
constitutions; and Unit the emancipa
tion act of i?sil, did not elevate him
to the citizenship of the Suite. And
iu the people of this Common
wealth, by an express amendment of
their Constitution, drew ths line di
rectly between the white citisonsand
the black inhabitants of tho State
1 1 is clear, therefore, that under the
Constitution and laws the while and
black races eland in a separate rels
tion to ach other. t) bud the same
difference in tho institutions and cus

If thoro be anything in tho wide
world thut will wear on the pjtiunce
of a man, and render him indifferent
to his domestic, fireside and the society
of his wife he has promised lo cherish,
it is a whining woman. To hear day
after duy iu the morning when he
sits down at the breakfast table, and
n the evening when returned from
bis wearisome days' labor, piteous
compluints like these, uttered in dolor
ous accents: "Oh, I have such A head
ache '." or "my back aches so I can
scarcely stand," would require a vir
tue superior to that found in any

flinching from the course of strict

The institution of marriage has in
view the improvement of the eart'ily
condition of those who respect it. No
person, man or woman, contemplates
marriage without expecting to better
himself or herself. A man who in a
freak of fancy for A pair of melting
cluck eyes or a pretty luce, allies him
self tor life with a sickly wife, ts cer
lainly much to blume if he exhibit a
coolness of m inner toward her. Ho
should have been more discreet in bis
choice. Rosy cheeks and duncing
health are Very ai tractive to the un
married, and alter tuarria -e constitute
ono of the strongest links that bind a
htishund t love, vt ueu a year or two
of that close Intimacy only found in
wedded hfo, has dispelled all the
romance that either parly entertained
ou the threshold, and one realizes that
tho other is an invalid, how much of
bitterness Is added lo his or her cup
of married existence, be other things
ever so abundant and luxurious their
palatial abodu. It may be luid down
as a maxim, that in no earthly con
dition is health bo necessary as in the
niurncd rclulion. loung inuii, it you
would bo hitppy in your home ; if you
would avoid a disposition to "whine,"

.Miss Muloch, in speaking of the
influence of women iu society, use
thu following language :
"Oh ! if 'gloomy' women did but

to meet a suushiny lace, a merry

A communication baring appeared
under this caption some time since, I
dnotn It proper to adduce some addi
tional ideas applicable to every day
life. W ben we reflect upon the vicious
ness that is stalking abroad throngh
ont th land, upon the re pea ted shocks
given to morality, and daily noted
through our newspaper columns, wo
cannot but recognize the fearful havoc
the many headed Hydra, vino, is ma
king among us. liiteiiipcrftnc is cer
tainly n cause, and many are the evils
that follow in its train. Jiut the mere
imbibing Intoxir-aling liquors is not
alone inti mnerance.- Any indulgence
in an inclination that weakens the
intellect, and perverts the moral pow
ers, Is intemperance in the ottriut
application of the term. Taking it in
this sense, how dreadful the acuount
that persons must render, that peri
odically flood onrcou.itry with what
is com mou ly callsd "ten-oenf litera
ture. We denounce tbe coarseness, ot
manners that characterized the reigns
of Charles II and Queoti Anne; aud
which found mouth pieces in Beau
mont's, Fletcher's and Oryden's plays.
We t-ensure the ribaldry of iiocacio's
Decameron, and reject, as unfit' for
translation, tbe volumes of ltubelias.
Yet whsu we reflect that they were
the mirror of the manners of those
days, our antipathy towards them
should be somewhat palliated Whilst
we censure those effusions of the past,
wo aro lost in the popular admiration
of those voluptuous and romantic
pamphlets, that till every bookseller's
window, "cutting up society by tha
roots, and poisoning the very fountain
of public security." We huve our
organizations throughout the land,
Which assnme to control or suppress
the ssle of intoxicating liquor ; ret
I fear raeny of their me inters conuive
at the reading of these immoral works.
Let them use their efforts to banish
these works from circulation, remem-1
bering that anything having an evil
tendei.e) is well worth their attention
And if any efforts, in a moral nenso,
will be successful, I venture to vatici
nate efforts directed in that war will
ensure success. As they in times ot
old, burned in the common of Kphe
sua, works of an inferior naturs, lot
public opinion consign out panderers
lo passion to that doom they so richly
merit. They, ths authors, cannot but
deem apposite that classic line from
