' negro, the colored' race, , is the true subject of national andelftiVitableeffort.. Irwas lohg.ago .plain that it was not half so impOrtant to 'con; sider how:to remove slavery as how to remove the negro.: The great problem teward:Which, 'men.should have directedtheir lab Ors and . veetigations, was how2,to treat. arace: that is 1 amongui that mixes with our populaiion, but cannot rninglawith. our blond. This subject involves to some ex tent the gen-, eral subject of slavery, . but only as the greater includes the less. For years, the, earneit, ive mind of the nation, not the fitful and pas sionate mind of radical reforms, but thaititel... lectual force which formed and which hai reefed the • course thegoverprhent,.in its great. work of benefit toManyind, has regarded this question as connected with the nation, and attemptertto keep,the national counsels di. rected toward lt, instead Of toward the irifetior questien of the posltion'ot aportion of the 'rac e while among us.' At is conceded oiterywhere that the race is inferior; 'whether by reason of its long experience in barbarism, and its trans- - ler to -a p'osition, of -subjection:in a civilized land, or whether by nature, it does.not concern •. • us atpresent . to inquire:. The race is now of of a, lower order, antlthe eXceptional,cases Which are (torn time to time brought forward, only Serve to show.. more distinctly the sad truth in relation to the whole negro family. = Being inferior they demand our, sympathy and oar aid. Th..y cannot be in.lde citizens,, of 'equal rights with the whites ' , 'unless we ever, throw the order of nature and at once adopt amalgamation. 'This.may possibly badisPuted 'but tbere is.nO dividing line. .For'example, if the law should :declare the: negro entitled to equal rights; he may not only demand admi.s.

If tie'may rightfully de. ,mandall would . absurd and impes. sible to deny his social equality, even to the extent ofintermarriage. We do not dwell on the argument, which must. be plain.

'With every 'plan of emancipation should . be connected a plan of 'taking care.of . the *negro. To propose emancicatioO without providing colonization, is to destroy the negro race,atul to injure the race at the same time. FroM all this it is plain enough that the disposition of the negro race is the main question preceding.and controlling . 'the question of slavery. • . In forther years, the best ,men.of. the • South were, agreed with those of thelslorth.on this Subject. When the agitation of the minor ques tion made the discussion of the 'whole aubjeet unprofitable, they.fell •bacit to the true ground of reasonable Men, that :abolitionism Was a ,dangerous, principle,. dangerous to the .white . race as to the black, and the grand. queStion of all, the fate of the colored`' face, was suffered to drop, in the 'presence Of. the fierce s discussion Of abolition. - • ' . . . .
