the reasons for the exclusion of the blacks.
lite declared that the two races
could :not live equally free under the sante

ical, moral and intellectual differences be
tween them. Says.hel
"Many millions. f' then] have been bro't
Wand born in America. Most of them,
indeed, have been confined to tillage—to
their own: homes, and their own society.
Yet many have been so situated - that
they have availed themselves.of the con
versto ion of their masters. Many have
been brought, up to the handicraft arts,
and from that eirionnstance have always
been. associated with the whites. 'Some
have been liberally educated, and all have
lived-in a country where the arts and sci
ences are cultivated to a considerable de
gree, and have had before their eyes sam
ples from the best works from abroad.—

or a country, so as to prove the existence
of
.a germ in their minds which only wants
cultivation. They astonish you with
strokes of the moat sublime oratory, such
as prove their reason and sentiment
strong, their-imagination glowing and el
evated. But : never yet could I find a black
that, had uttered a thought above, the lev
el of plain . narration—never seen even an
elementary trait of printing or sculpture."
And yet< we have
; heard ministers of
the gosiid say the Indians were to be ex
terminated, and the negroes, so far below
them•in theecale of intellect, are to be in
corporated into the new goverument,
which. the Republicans are now building.
"In music they are more generally gift
ed than the whites, with accurate ears for
tune and time, and they have been found
capable of imagining a small catch. The
instrument proper to them is the banjo,
whieli they brought with them from Afri
ca, and which is the original of the guitar,
its chords being precisely the four lower
shorts Or the guitar. Misery is °fief' the
parent of the most affecting touches in
poetry. Among the b'acks there is mis
ery enough, God knows, but no poetry.
Religion, indeed, has produced a Phillis
Whately, but it could not produce a poet
—the compositions published under her
name are below the dignity of criticism.
The improvements of the blacks in body
and mind, in the first instance of their
mixture with the whites, has been ob
served by every one ; and shows that
their inferiority is not, the effect merely of
their condition of lite. Among the Ro
mans their slaves were often the rarest ar-
tists. They excelled, too, in science, ingo
much as Ici'be . nsually employed as tutors
to their master's children. But they were
of the race of whites. It is not their con
dition then, but nature which has pro
duced the distinction.
" is advance it, therefore, as a suspicion
only, that the blacks, whether originally a
disci idt race, or matte distinct by time
and eirenn3stanees,! are inferior to the
siVitea both in the endowments 'of
body and mind. It is not. against experi
eince to 'suppose that different species of
the same genus, or varicii.ts of the same
speeies, may possess ditThrent guaifica.
Lions. Will not a. lover of. natural histo
ry then,' one, who views the gradations iq
ail the races of animals with the eye of
philOsophy, excuse an effort to keep those
in the =department , of mar as distinct as
nature' hasrtermed them ? Tice unfortun
ate difference of color, and perhaps of fa
curly, is a powerful obstacle to the eman-,
eipation of these people. 'Many of ,their
adVoestes, while they wish to vindicate
the l liberty of human nature, are anxious,
also to : preserve its dignity.and beau' y.—

Thad. Stevens in the Pennsylvania
, Legislature—,His Anti MBank Pro!
cllvities7 Tapeworm Railroad.
The Washington correspondent of the
/7est: York 1A4.44 says .Thad Stevens,
the long.: . acknowledged leader , of the
House in its radical onstanghts upon the
Constitution,the fiercest if not the stron
gest spirit o f all the radical band, Itn
peaeltment's foremost champion, was not
al ways, as successful in his schemes and
efforts as he has latterly been as an expo
nent of radicalism, •
At. the time when the great anti-Ma
sonic excitement—born to life from the
Mogan bugbear—sweat over the land,
like a fierce sirnnon, from Maine to Geor
gia. Thad Stevens was a member of the
Legislature of Pennsylvania. Espousing
the cause of the anti-Masons from disap
pointment and actuated by fee!ings of the
bitterest animosity against :the Masons. for
reasons that will be made apparent ; he
introduced a resolution to the effect that
the house, of which he was a member, in
quire into the subject of Masonry, with
power to send for persons and papers. The
House, largely anti Masonic—the mem
bers as well as the Governor of the State
having been elected upon the then tremen
dous issue of the day—adopted almost
tianimously the resolution, and a number
of well known Masons were summoned to
attend the " high court" then in session at
Harrisburg, to give evidence in matters
appertaining to the Masonic order.
A thorough investigation was lobe had
in t he pi em ices and the secrets of the broth•
orhond laid bare to the world. The "dev
il," the " goat" and the " gridiron" were
to be shown up in all their hideodsness;
the fearful and horrible rites and ceremo
nials were to be brought forth and ex
posed to the light of day, and the black
monster, Masonry-, was to receive its
death blow then and there. Thad. Ste
yens was the St. George who was to anni
hilate the dragon. On the day appointed
for the commencement of the proceeding,
which were to consurnate the above, ev
ery member—and, as we have 'said, a ma
jority of the House were anti Masons—
was
in his seat, anxiousffor, yet dreading,
the uplifting of the curtain that was to
reveal the hitherto veiled horrors that
darkened the ceremonials of the Masonic 1
brotherhood. The House was packed
with Masons, and anti Masons, and among
the former was a well known Mason,
master of a lodge in the State, who' had
been summoned to Harrisburg in relation
to the matter then about to be investiga
ted in all its details, and him, Thad, as
grand inquisitor, propcsed to examine
first.
When all was - in readiness the self Con
stituted champion of the anti Masons
commenced his interrogations thus
" Are you a Mason ?" am, sir." "Do
you belong twa lodge in. this State?" "I
do, sir." " What position do yonhold in
the lodge ?" " The' position of Master."
" What'are the initial proceedings .conse
quent upon the meeting of a lodge ?"
"The lodge is_ opened' with prayer."
"Well go on, and` state what follows."
"I am waiting for your questions." "Well
what are the eeremonit-ti incident to the
admission of a member?" He is balloted
for, and if no votes be cast against him,•
he is admitted as a member ot the order."
"What theorplease state the subsequent,
proceedings. What follows next ?"
" Mr. Stevens/' said the witness, with
a mischievous' twinkle: in his eye, ." It; on

The ()initiation_ of the` Democratic
Prete—lts Dliceedity.
It cannot be reiterated too often nor
too deeply itnpressed upon the Democrat
ic masses, that the most powerful and
widely effectual means ofregenerating the
country is the Democratic, newspapers.
Partisan organization, partisan meetings
and partisan spoeches may do their full
share toward the aecomp ishment of. this
object, but after all 01.1 do not, effect en
ough in reaching . the hearts and convin
cing the judgments of voters. Men do
not reason upon, reflect and inwardly di
gest, as a generale rule, the able, eloquent
o r witty things they may hear at big mass
meeting -t, especially if the mass meeting
is held by the opposite party. But let
the same thing be seen in a newspaper in
the shape of a speech an editorial or a se
lected article, and it will be read either for
curiosity or to while away an idle hour,
and the chances are ten to one that it will
be thotight of afterward, conned over in
secret, with gain a permanent lodgment in
the reflections, and if it does not, as to
the point aimed at, work positive convic
tion, it will at least modify or change
somewhat the current thoughts and feel
ings on that subject. A thorough under
standing of this fact and principle has all
along directed the political tactics of the
opposition, and has enabled them to build
up the immense .circulations attained by
their principal journals, and gradually to
corrupt the thoughts of peoPle with their
heresies, by continually insinuating - . them
befOre the masses and keeping them con
stantly before the public mind.
The wit and .logni of our orators can
therefore effect but little, of itself, it can
only reaChbut few, and dies out with the
voice. Bat reproduce it in a newspaper,
reanimate it with - type; and it becomes at.
once the mental food, and perhaps ftti:
wishes an acting principle to thousands
who otherwise mialit have been controll
ed by entirely different ideas. Radical
discipline may, and most usually does,
keep its subjects, tar away from t he sound
of the Democratic gospel or finds means
to counteract the ephemeral expressions of
truth made by a preacher thereof; .1344
can not.. always follow them info ~their
families, in their hours; of idleness and re
crew ion,nor prevent them from indulging
in Democratic reading occasionally; nor
can it put into their secret thoughts and
mental operation, and there fLop the
course of reflectiou and conviction resul
ting trout the -political truths thus from
time to time discovered.
Let us reiterate, therefore, the impor..
tepee of, widely circulating Democratic
newspapers.. .The more deeply this idea
is impressed. upon No ttemocratio party,

A correspondent of the Ezprete, writing
from Washington under a recent date, '
gives the following particulars in relation
to the settlement of this class of claims,
which may be of interest to many :
All the bounty claims on file are settled
as fast as the second Auditor of-the Tress
ury can furnish, from the muster rolls de
posited in his office, evidence necessary
to determine the validity of each claim.
The Auditor is furnishing responses to in
quiries at the rate of 20,000 per month.
At this rate it is expected that the whole
number of &aims flied, or likely to healed,
will be finally settled in the next nine
months. When a claim is altowed, the
check is drawn to order of the claitaanti
and sent with his discharge, to his aitoni
ney, or himself, where no attorney has
been appointed and payable only upon
endorsement by, eiabnant, finless the lat
