Luz. : , words races of men in a strictly ethnogra-phical
1; sense; and mean that kind of superiority of
l race which the Caucasians and Anglo-Saxons
: manifest over the Indian, negro, Malay and
Mongolian races. We do not recognize in the

5 itive or absolute superiority of race, as com
pared with each other, for nature has marked
1 no great orcontrolling difl'erences in their phy

I the negro, or the Indian; and we knowalso, that
, neither the Indian nor the free negro can con

' they occupy the same Soil and compete with
I each other. All history proves that the inferior
g race, in order to survive the aggressions and
I greater activity and energy of the superior race,
i must be brought to a condition of servitude,
x serfdom, or slavery.
; These principles may not be in accordance
with the belief of many who think they are
guided by the purest spirit of philanthropy;
and yet they are founded upon facts which are
indisputable. And there is another natural
! law which applies to these races, particularly
to the negro, and which is equally unsatisfac
tory to some who fear to meet the truth face to
face. Negroes and whites cannot. perpetuate
a new race; the Divine laws are indestructi
ble barriers against such unnatural experi
, ments; and we have the direct testimony of
acute and honest travelers in Central America.
and the Westlndies, that the mongrel or hybrid
races are incapable of perpetuating themselves,
} and have greatly deterioatcd in mind and body.
Anything, then, like equal social relations be
-3 tween the two races, is physically impossible.
We do not. make these incontestible state
ments from any dislike to the negro, or from
any pariialities for the institution of slavery.
But. in these days, when distinguished states
] men and public journals representing a pow
, erful and vigorous party, and constantly teach»
3 ing the people theories which inculcate violent
and hostile opposition to an institution recog
nized by the Constitution and by the framers
and fathers of this Republic, and promise, in
substance, that. an “irrepressible conflict.” is
5 to result in the overwhelming humiliation and
l decadence of the South, it is time to grapple
' the question boldly, and not to dodge the pend
! ing issues, or to mince matters too much, or to
confess that. there is but one side to this irri-
I tating and dangerous slavery controversy.’—
There are four million reasons in the South,
1 clad in flesh and blood, against the wild polit
ical crusade now going forward, and which
1 becomes more obstinate and reckless as it ad
; vances. If history and science tell the truth,
5 the immediate, or unprepared, or hast-y freedom
of these slaves, will produce their extermina
tion, accompanied by a. train of events most
horrible to contemplate.
And we advise, also, the professed philan
thropist whose sympathies have got the better
of his judgment, to reflect upon the great her
i tiers which have been placed by nature bc-
E tween the whites and blacks, and that whatever
i may be the ultimate destiny of the latter, they
are infinitely better off than if they had been
born and bred in their native land. The records
of travelers in Africa tell a sad but true tale of
the negro race as it appears at home, and es
pecially in Eastern Africa. The native African
is an habitual drunkard, a. thief, a. liar, re~
vengeful, licentious, grovcling in his habits,
almost destitute of natural attraction, unprogres~
sire in character, and in religion at devotee of
the obscene mysteries of Fetichiam. Moreover,
the great bulk of the population is made up of
masters and slaves. Indeed, slavery is almost
universal. The principal occupation of the
Africans, and the real object of almost all their
wars, is the kidnapping of slaves; while the
treatment and condition of negroes in our
South, is benevolence itself compared with the
cruel system which prevails in Africa. This
is the picture drawn of the native African by
disinterested and reliable travelers; and a more
disagreeable one is not to be found in the his~
tory of barbarians. In truth, the negroes held
in slavery in the United States, are much bet
ter of, physically and morally, than their igno
rant and degraded brothers in Africa. Every—
body known this; and believes in his heart. that
the condition, prospects and character of the
negro improve under the rifining influences of
civilized life. We may safely say, also, that
scarcely a fraction of the people of the United
States are in favor of now freeing the slaveg____
Why then, in the face of the well-authenticated
facts we have stated, do the Abolitioniste, fa'nat.
ics, and many leaders of the Republican party,
persist in their wild and reckless theories,
whose developemcnt is dragging the Union to l
the verge‘of the precipice? To raise up the
great African race from scrfdom to a condition
of advancement and civilization, or to place
them in a, position where every favor and lib~
arty and right, social and political, shall be
allowed them, just as it. is allowed to the whiteS,
is a possibility of which 'we may dream for
coming ages. But in the present posture of
afl‘airs, and with our present knowledge of the
insurmountable difficulties in the way of such

Real Causes of the Danger.
The Republican newspapers are trying to
allay the alarm created in the public mind by
the extraordinary fall in the prices of stocks
by attributing it- to a. conspiracy among Demo
crats to defeat the election of Lincoln by fright
ening the capitalists of the North. It is im~
possible that those who labor to allay public
apprehension by this means can have any con
fidence in their own assertions. It is not easy
to getup afinancial panic for political purposes;
and if the truth was known, some of the very
men who laugh loudest at danger are the most
meful to secure their own private means.
It would be much more rational if those who
are groping about in search of imaginary rea
sons for the depressionin all sorts of securities
Would look the real reasons in the face, and not
seek to deny their existence. The stock mor
kets are depressed, not because certain persons
say that there is (longer in. case of the election
of Lincoln, but because shrewd business men
cannot avoid the conclusion that. there are solid
reasons, from the present attitude of the South,
for apprehending public disturbance, and the
consequent unsettling of all the commercial
relations of the country.
No man can deny the fact that the b'outhern
mind is deeply stirred. That the Southern
people apprehend that under the rule ‘of the
Republican party their rights will not be secure
Within the Um'on. That for too many contem
plate immediate resistance as the only remedy
for oppression, which they will be less able to
resist the longer they submit to it. No one
can fail to see «that this sentiment pervades the
South to an alarming extent—and no man of
good sense is so foolish as to believe that it is all
gotten up for the sake of depressing the stock
markets and producing a. commercial panic.—
This sort of argument may answer the tempo
rary purpose of soothing the apprehensions of
those whose substance is daily diminishing
under the influence of this haleful agitation of
the negro question, and may close the eyes of
many to the truth that our national prosperity
depends upon maintaining friendly relations
with the South, by removing the danger they
so much apprehend; but it is only mocking at
real danger without suggesting any means by
which it may be alloyed. _
The true cause of the monetary revulsion
which appears to be just commencing is to he
found in the well- grounded apprehension that
the inauguration of a purely sectional admin
istration of the general government will be fol- i
loved by serious troubles, unsettling the busi
ness of the country, and, perhaps, ending in :
dimion and revolution. In this rational view '
of the origin of the impending tempest, the
first mutterings of which pervade the whole
political atmosphere, thereis furnished a strong
inducement for every man who values the har
mony of the country, and the security of his own
property, to discourage by every means in his
power the success of a purely sectional and
highly dangerous political organization.

Mlssns. EDITORS :—Enclosed is a letter from
George Washington (the signer of the first
Fugitive Slave Law enacted under the Consti—
tution) to Robert Morris.
Coming, as it does, from the Chairman of the
Convention which framed the Constitution of
the United States, and bearing upon the main
questions of the day, it is worthy of attention.
It! language is plain and easy to be under
stood, if, perhaps, we except the reference to
“ legislative authority,” which some might con
found with Congressional authority—the former
being the authority of the individual State,
While the latter is the collective authority of
all the States, carefully and jealously limited
by our Constitution. Tat-Tn.

The Negro Race.
Ci'here are certain great facts in reference to
the negro race from which there is no rational
or logical escape. A morbid philanthropy may
attempt lo pervert them; but they stand out so
clearly and distinctly on the records of science
and history: that a sensible and linprcjwliccd
man cannot deny them. '
He who has studied the difference between
the natural races and families of men, knows
that a superior and inferior race cannot con
iinue to occupy the same territory on terms of
equality. Either the inferior race will be en-
slaved, and in that condition increase and mul-
on event, we know, first. of all, that only those
who own slaves can abolish slavery, and then,
that every imprudent, or concealed, or violent
opposition on the part of Northern men, does
more injury than good, and impedes the ad
vancement of genuine humanity—Journal of

A SAD AFFAIR A'l‘ NORFOLK—A _I-‘utlzer Am.
deulrzlly Shoots His Daughter deal—A most
hear t—rendigg accident occurred at Norfolk, Va. ,
on Wednesday evening, afi'ordinganotlxcr awful
warning to those handling firearms._ It. appears
that Mr. Jesse T. Ewell, a worthy citizen and
indulgent parent, went home from business
about sunscl, and finding his litzle son playing
in the house and yard with a pistol, am supposed
to be loaded, took it from him, and while' ex
amining it, it was accidentally discharged. The
Day Book thus tells the rest of the 11'1ny 'sad
s!ory. ' -
‘ Laura, (Mr. Ewell’s daughter,) a. beautiful
and interesting little girl of nine summers, was
seated on the steps getting her lesson when the
pistol went off, and instantly jumping up she
exclaimed, “ 05.! pa. you have killed me!” As
she said this, the blood burst from her nose and
mouth ! She fell forward and instantly expired.
The pistol had been charged with two buckshot,
both of which had entered her right breast and
perforated her right lung. The great shock,
together with the internal hemmorrhage, pro
duced almost instant death. Drs. Gait and
Bright were almost instantly called, andreaehed
the scene of casualty in a very short time, but
too late; the little girl had breathed her last,
and a worthy family were overwhelmed with
grief: The unhappy father. almost bereft of
reason by the distressing and heart-rending ac
cident, sought, in his frenzy, to take his own
life. He seized a knife and made a. desperate
effort to out. his throat, but was prevented from
steeping his family in still deeper grief by some
of his friends, who happened to rush up in time.
Soothing droughts were given him, and he
finally become quieted, and retired with an
almost. broken heart. The unhappy mother of
the little one was heard through the live long
night sobbing and mourning the untimely death
of her child, while the agonizing wail that. oc
casionally rose upon the night, told how deep
was the distress of the stricken parents.
Ax ANGIEKT AND CURIOUS MANUSCRIPT.—
George A. Stone, Esq., of Roxbury, Mass..
during his recent travels in Egypt, obtained
some curious relics of a long past age, together
with a papyrus of great antiquity and value.
This papyrus is said to have been discovered
in the year 18:38, in :1. tomb hewn in the rock,
by the side of a mummy distinguished by a
gilded mask and a gilded scaraboeus of porce
lain, lying in a case marked by a glittering
spread eagle and a golden asp. Four vases of
alabaster and a green stone tablet were found
in the some receptacle. The papyrus is five
feet long, t-en inches wide, and is written with
great care and beauty. A photographic copy
has been submitted to Professor G. Seyifarth,
of St. Louis, who has published a translation
with comments and illustrative plates, in the
Transactions of the Academy of Science of St.
Louis for the year 1859. The fragment com
mences with the biography of Horsebe, who
was, as it appears, the commander-in-chief of
Pharaoh Shishak 1., the slayer of the last king
of Manetho’s Illst dynasty. Monetho gives
the (late of this Shishak, the founder of the
22d dynasty, 124 years prior to Shishak 2d,
who conquered Jerusalem in the fifth year of
Rehoboam, 9-1-5 B. C. The papyrus is, there
fore. supposed to have. been written about the
year 1050 B. (3. Following this biography is
a religious hymn to the Creator of Orsiris,
Mani, Isis, and all classes of men, as expressed
in an elaborate in’roduction thereto.
In connection with this subject we learn from
a late English paper that Dr. Simonides, who
is examining the papyri in the Egyptian Mu
seum at Liverpool, has made a discovery of
great interest in six letters written by I-ler-‘
mippus Eumenidcs, of Berytus, to Horus Her
hmstionides of Alexandria, respecting Egyptian
hierogEyphics and the kings of Egypt and
Ethiopia. Hermippus lived between the years
74 and 162, and his works have been supposed
to be wholly ESL—Boston Journal.
[From (In: National Intelligmcer ]
Tun LATLEY “DISCOVERED CAvc IN Fromm.
Messrs. Editors: In your issue of the 22d inst.
I read an account of the discovery of a cave in
Florida, in which was found a Latin inscription
certifying that it was inhabited or visited by
Europeans in the eleventh century. 01’ this
now there can be no doubt, if this discovery is
true ; and, consequently, our continent was
known to the people of Europe before its dis
covery by Columbus. But that is not the only
point which I want to notice in this connexion.
My object is to direct the attention of Ameri
can historians or antiquarians to a similar
statement in Cardinal Wisema-n’s treatise on
“ The Connexion Between Science and Revealed
Religion,” in which that accomplished scholar
and srchwologist states it for -a fact, when
speaking of the aboriginies of America, that
there are manuscripts in the Vatican library
at Rome which say that this country was known
to missionaries of the Eternal City in the tenth
century, and concludes his remarks on the sub
ject by asking the question, “ Who can en
lighten us on the subject?” or words to that
efi‘ect. (I have not the work now before me.)
The records found in the Danish archives since
this‘work was written (thirty or forty years
since) prove that this continent was known to
the Northmeu before it was discovered by Co
lumbus; but this last development, if true, as I
have above said, removes all doubt of that in
teresting fact.

Honnlnm Surcnm.——One of the most horri
ble cases of suicide ever heard of in the calen
der of seltidestruetion was enacted in East
Flamboro’ on Saturday last, when James
Black, inn-keeper, of New Berwick, burned
himself to death by sitting on a burning pile
of sticks! He came here on Saturday week
and at first appeared very unsettled, and told
some of his acquaintances that this would be
the last time they would meet—they had better
shake hands. The week passed on till Saturday
morning, when he was noticed going into-a. field
where some boys Were burning brush, and sat
down on the burning pile, till his clothes were
all burned ott‘ him. The boys gave the alarm,
wLen two of Mr. Robert Marshall’s sons came
and dragged him off, but he still persisted in
going on. They tried to take him off the sec.
ond time, but he threatened them, when one
ran for assistance to Mr. Martin, who, with
some others, got him ofl“, but he still wanted to
remain on, saying that. was his doom. He then
was entirely roasted. Notnportiole of clothing
remained on him. He bare it all without. any
signs of torture, until taken to Mr. Marshall’s,
where he was attended by Dr. Ghent, but
medical aid was of no avail; he linger‘ed on for
about eight hours, when death came to his re

. The New Haven Journal givos the particulars
of a most singular and horrible accident which
occurred in the Iron and Steel Works in that
city on Saturday last. One of the men was
at work “ rolling” when the upper portion of
his left thigh was accidentally pierced through
with a. 3 inch oval bar of iron, red hot, or
more properly at whatis called a “ White heat.”
The rod grazed the bone, severing the femoral
artery; and being 25 feet. long, 15 feet. of it.
passed through the flesh before it could be out
and withdrawn from the limb. A remarkable
presence of mind in one of the workmen ur
rested the otherwise fatal hemorrhage, by cord~
ing the limb above the wound until the doctors

wound, and conveyed the unfortunate man to
his residence. At last accounts he was in n.

This he refused to do, and attacked the party
with a, huge bowle knife, dutting three of them
very badly. He was soon overpowered,
stripped, severely beaten, and a. coat of tar
and feathers administered; after which he was
directed to leave the neighborhood within 24.

NEW YORK POLITICIANS AT FIGURES —The
probable result of the Presidential election in
the State of New York is, of course, a subject
of profound interest. The New York politi
cians, we see, are busy figuring out what they
profess to believe will be result. The Journal
of Commerce contains two estimates, one from
a Democrat and the other from a Republican,
both of whom are said to be unusually well
informed concerning the political condition of
the State. The Democrat claims a majority of
15, 700 for the union or fusion ticket, while the
Republican concedes a majority of 500 for the
some ticket.

Is BE'NNETT Pnornmron or THE HERALD.—
The suit of Charles Heune against .7. G. Ben
nett has been withdrawn on a. nice initial point.
The plaintiff was formerly proprietor of an
emigrant boarding house in William street,
New York. In his writ. he alleges that in cone
sequence of a police report. which appeared in
the Herald in March, 1859, his business was
broken up. It. was claimed that the report. was
libelous. and the damage was laid at $5,000.
The defendant put in a general denial, inclu
ding, of course, the allegation that he was
proprietor of the Herald. On the cause being
reached, on Monday morning, the plaintiff
neglected to produce proof of the defendant’s
p'roprietorship . of the Herald and had to with
draw the case.
