“Nay bnt, 0 mar., who art thou that

hast thou made me thus ?”
The principles of the equality and the
nin-equaltty of the human races are now
rapidly and effectively playing their res
pective parts among our people, and influ
encing our governmental transactions.
The proposition that all mankind are
born equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable
rights; that among them are life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness, is false, and
a mere figment, a morbid issue, from the
brains of infidel philosopher*. Such a
principle is antagonistic to our instinctive
and aboriginal propensities, to the customs
of society and the ordinances of God. Be
cause marriage, and property in lands de
prive mankind of liberty and equality.
The advocate of such principles are iu favor
of free love, free lands, and free negroes.
These institutions are not conventional,
are not the results of human reason, or hu
man legislation ; hut they have been es
tablished by God, as much so as the tree
religion. Man is not the originator of re
ligion any more than ho is that of right,
marriage, or slavery. Their origin is in
stinctive and aboriginal being by God's
band implanted in man’s nature. Hence
when these instinctive tendencies are pro
perly interpreted, the vox pnpuli becomes
the vox Dei. Hence the laws of all na
tion* aie very similar. They are not the
inventions of the legislator, hut of the dic
tations of nature, as much so, as the archi
tectural skill of the bee or ant. Those,
who have striven to be inventors, or orig
inators of law, have made signal failures.
The great law givers have only been great
reformers, and only improvers on what pre
viously existed. Man can not make a
physical or moral law. He can only dis
cover them. Their existence was anterior
to his own. The efforts of Plato, of Sir
Thomas Moore, of Lord Bacon, and of
Locke, are signal failures when compared
to these of such reformers as Moses, Confu
cius, Lyeurgus, Xuma, and English Alfred.
The views and laws of the former when
compared to that of the latter are “very
speculative, visionary and Utopian.”
From the differences of opinions in ref
erence to the equality of the negro and
white man in the U. States, originate sec
tional feelings antipathies and variations
in customs and character. Some of the
Northern people, especially the abolition
ist, believe in the absolute equality of man
kind, in their social and civil equality,
whether they be black or white.
The development of this dogma haß
been slow and grndual. Having strutted
upon thestagein horrible tragedy in France
it was introduced here as an American so
cial principle by Jefferson and Franklin.
It now threatens to be the leaven—the dis
organising agent of our federal compact —
the canker in the bud of the body politic
—the destroyer of one of the best govern
ments in the world. It has been a pleas
ing morsel to the decendants of the Puri
tans and bold followers of Cromwell.—
They always were busy ! Everything has
been so propitious for its development in
a large portion of oar country, that it has
grown to huge dimensions, and menaces
social institutions and classes.
The locality, climate, the soil, the com
mercial and manufactuiing facilities and
the origin of the people of the Northern
States, have made them tradesmen, in-door
workers, “the hewers of wood and the
drawers of water;” while the negros have
been driven away, they being profitless to
their owners. Hence the Northerner has
no opportunities for the daily observation
of the physical, soC’al. moral and mental
inequalities of the negro, when contrasted
with the white man. Being by
education, and by the French dogmas—
Eqaality, they call aloud for the equaliza
tion of the negro. Their fuss concerning
woman's rights, tueir agrareanism. their
strikes for higher wages, and their higher
law-principle, ore only brats of the same
parentage. Their influence pervades all
classes. It rules in the family and social
circle, sits and smirks in the pulpit, franti
cally harangue* in the popular assembly,
croaks aud prates through the punting
press, rants in fret love associations, plays
thp fiend in midnight assassination; ana rev
els to society in mormon cities.
The altreiet being driven to extremes
questions the propriety of eny restrictions;
because, if all men ore born free end equal
why restrain them 1 Why not have all
things in common t Many of the altruist
have repudiated divine law, and adopted
the sophistries of infidel philosophers; and
believe that all shonld enjoy in common
the gifts of God. whether they consist in
lands and its productions or in the riches
of the opulent. Consequently they are in
favor of canalising socially and politically
the negro by legislation.

were at first a few brawling, crasy, agita
tors, but they are now numerous and strong.
Their votes tweuty years since numbered
7,000, sixteen years there—after after they
polled 1,342,000 and controled 114 elec
toral votes cf eleven states. They now
cast two thirds of the votes of the free
States have 13 out of 18 Governors. 25 out
of 36 Senators, and 113 out of 147 Repre
sentatives in Congress for the free States.
They are now nearly equal to all parties
put together, and can elect their candidate
for President without much difficulty.
The sentiment eutertained at the South
in contra-distinction to that of the North
is, the white man and negro are not equals.
That the people of the South should have
such views is rational and easily explain
ed. Because to assert that the negro is the
equal to the white man is equivalent to
saying. The negro has the same organi
zation, the same instincts, the same men
tal capabilities and capacities; the same
moral tendencies and temperament; the
same physical conformations; that intel
lectually and morally he occupies the same
stand point; that he Dossesses the same
likeness and the same dignity and courage
of the white man. All observation, expe
rience and history to the Southerner, give
such a proposition the lie.
The Southerner believes that legisla
tion, the mere opinions of ultraists. of bad
lawyers, ordinary newspape. Editors, of
religio-demagogues can not eradicate the
instincts of an animal, or cause “the Ethe
opian to change his skin, or the Leopard
his spots; believes that what in instinc'ive
ly degraded can not he elevated to a high
position, any more than man can make the
negro a white man; or the ant assume the
habits or the lice.
Ask the Southern Mechanic, the artisan,
the daily laborer, him, who works side by
side with the negro, lie ought to know, if
the black man is liis equal. His answer
will be, no! Because by every day’s ob
servation be unlike the Northerner sees
lhat the negro is his inferior—bis non
equal. He sees that the chaiacteristic
differences, of the white man and negro is
instinctive, and aboriginal. The one in
his religion is theistie, the other is fetich;
the one can not be enslaved, the other be
comes a slave willingly, he is born a slavo
in body, a slave in mind; the one stoops
while at work, has straight legs and a
carved foot, tho other has his head tlirowu
back, his hips thrown upward, his legs
bowed, his feet flat; while the one stands
erect, the other is a knee-bender ; while the
one is the theistie Bimaua, the other is the
ophidian; he is the Nacliash unto
whom Elohim has said, “upon thy belly
shalt thou go, and dust sltalt thou eat all
the days of thy life.” They are tho only
beings in the world who aie tin* victims of
dirt eating or “chachexia africana.” These
characteristic differences have existed for
thousands of years. Climate ami civili
zation have not materially altered them.
But many fools, nevertheless, have been
expecting the negro to turn white!
Upon this inequality of the white man
and negro rest the life and wealth, of the
South. From it originates the resources of
commerce, the success of agriculture, min
ing, and R. Road operations, and besides
it has furnished the means of, civilizing the
Pagan; and supplies the requisites of part
ly humanizing one of the most degraded
races oft lie world.
Notwithstanding all these facts, tiie
Northerner asserts, the negro is my broth
er, and shonld not be a slave; that there
should be a “higher law principle,” an
anti-slavery constitution, an auti-slavery
Bill, and n anti-slavery God. He de
clares that in preference to his being a
slave, the Union should be dissolved aud
that his master shall perish with it.
While the Southerner says: For the
negro to be my slave is a right granted to
me by nature and the God of nations, and
I will defend that right at the risk of pro
perty, at the risk of the Federal Govern
ment, and at the risk of life. Amen!
Although thiif principle of equality, di
vides and distracts our people, still the
Northern and Southern, the true patriot,
the j&tt'onel man, lie, who believes in
State-rights, I? 1 Constitutional Federal
rights, in individual *Jgl.’^ s he who believes

in protecting the negro from such a serious
and lasting injury as that of being depriv

vail. Truth will and mast ultimately con

science and the Bible teach that the de

to improve, to become civilized, after
wards if let alone, he and liis progeny
retrograde and become instinctively fetich,
Serpent worshipers, and knee-benders.
Gan the negro be equal to man from whom
has descended a Moses, a Solomon, and a
hove all a Christ! from whom has descended

Canaan equal to Japheth ? God has said,
and who shall gain say it; “cursed be Ca
naan (Naclias) a servant of servants shall
he be to his brethren.” Blessed be the
Lord God of Sliem, and Canaan shall be
his servant. The negro is a slave instinc
tively, aboriginally, he is a slave by the
laws of nature and God. He was created
a slave, created anterior to man. His
whole organism is adapted to this condi
tion. Then can all men, if the negro is a
man be born equal ? No! It is nonseuse
to assest it. Mankind are. not born free
and Equal!

But let me tell you how they make
Democrats in Morgan.
In 1856 when Buchanan was being vo
ted for to save the South, and save Kan
sas to the South there was about ten miles
from Madison, a short time prior to the
election, a Barbacne, (great Democrat
bulwaiks) there was some five or six of the
faithful, that obtained n vehicle and a
couple of horses to attend. The crowd
consisted of one or two Georgia citizens,
and one or two of our Jewish citizens, and
one of our--well, I think yu can tell his
native State, when lam done. This was
the crowd, and all were Democrats save
one, when they started, I am sure he was
a hard know-nothing a few days befoie,
but, O whiskey ! it is to the Democracy,
to draw, better than any “Hebrew Plas
ter,” all went on well, all had a jolly time
and no stopping until about five miles from
town, they hauled up at a nice cool spring
of water, when of course something must
be drank, when the captain of the crowd,
or I might sav, the Mayor, proposed that
all that were fruchanan men, should drink,
and all that were not could not hare an;
whiskey, now this was indeed a trying
time to our know-nothing friend, and the
Mayor I havb no doubt, had been con
cocting the plan all the way, for he hated
the idea of having a “striking know noth
ing,” in the crowd with him, going to a
Buchanan Bat bacue, the Mayor is a good
worker, aud if theirs is a Democrat on
earth that deserves office, he is one, he
knew the weak point of our friends nature,
consequently his suggestion, and how he
succeeded is easily imagined, he informs
us that all took a drink, and all were
Buchanan men, they went to the “cue,”
enjoyed themselves* well, but unfortunate
ly for our new floadged Democrat, as they
were returning home, the amount of whis
key, or barbacuo, or the overload of Dem
ocratic sin and deceit, was more than the
horses could draw, and one of them died.
The Mayor had broken many a young
Democrat to harness, and he kuew that the
whiskey had created a zeal in his new
convert that would make him do anything,
the consequence was that they tested him,
to aee if he. was thoroughly broke aud
willing to work in Democrat harness. So
the Mayor proposed to hitch his new con
vert, in lieu of the horse that was dead,
they did so and I am informed that he
worked to the entire satisfaction of the
party, I believe it, for he is now working
finely in the Douglas waggon. I may be
in eiror. if I say lie loves whiskey, for 1
am informed that about twenty years
since, he had a severe spell of sickness,
and t'*at the medicine they gave him was
Brandy aud Whiskey, and that the rea
son he drinks now, what little he does,
(about a quart per day) is that be fears a
relapse, and here let ine say, that if I were
traveling and wanted someone to get me
some whiskey when it was scarce, I had
as soon go to this individual for help as
auy now living.
I will give you an item of his ingenuity
sometime ago,—last year perhaps,—he
turned Boob-pedler for a Brother chip, up
at the OoCbl Circle- in his travels, he finds
himself, we are informeu, *wd that tod, by
one that “loolu good,” one evening about
scuffle town,in Southwest Georgia. I think
it is a temperance town, our friend was
very dry, and I have no doubt bnt he felt
as if his South Carolina sickness was fast
coming npon him again, so he wanted
medicine badly, lie applied to the lady of
the house, to know it she had auy whis
key, poor unsuspecting woman, she little
knew her man—the lady informed hint,
that she had a little, and but a littld, aud
that they never used it, only as medicine.
Tj know that there was whiskey there,
and get none would nearly have killed
him, besides the constant dread of his old
disease coming npon him, have it, ab yes.
he wot bound tu have it. so he seta his
brain to work, and ho succeeded. The
son had gone down, the ahodea of eveniug
were gently falling o’er tho earth, it woe
one <4 these calm still eveuingt, when all
e%tere reeiied sinking v. that r|o*e. t>*
essential to happiness. Our friend had
strolled out towara the house-lot, his brain
Sant with the idea he had created to
e him to test the quality of the whis
key in the house. The lady of the house
we are told was quietly sitting by her win
dow enjoying a moments leisure after the
labors of the day, when, to her astonish
ment she heard in a most unearthly voice
someone hollow, she looked, and beheld
our friend, coming with all the speed pos
sible to imagine, and at every breath ex
claiming, snake bit! snake bit! snake bit!
■Oh,’ do but spare me a gill, or one swal
low of the whiskey you have, or lam
dead, of course the kind unsuspecting lady
with all haßte gave him her bottle, and in
the meantime our friend (Yancey like,)
managed to prick liis flesh with a brass
pin, so as to represent the snake bite. He
imagined he grew worse, although no visi
ble sign. of an external nature exhibited
itself, yet he felt dreadfully within and
continued so until tha last drop of the
wLiskey was gone, then be grew better
and next morning was well and off by
times, now I am sure it is useless for me to
tell von he was from the State of N. Now
Mr. Editor, there is a moral in this thing,
there is too much truth in this manner of
making Democrats, there are too many
made, and too few born. There are too
many dependant, and not enough inde
pendant men in this country, one man
thinks for too many, and when he falls
into eror, there is too much pride existing
at this day to get most of men to acknowl
edge that they have erred, the result is
they are liable to lead thousands to ins
truction, Ido trust however, that our citi
zens will think and read more for them
selves, aud vote for men that will support
and maintain the laws of our country as
handed down to us by our fathers, then
we shall ree happy days again, then our
constitution will grow and cast its benign
shadows over all the earth, giving joy,
peace and happiness, to all that will seek
its gentle shadows. So mote it be.

and lias also caused the future to hold out
to me many hopes and promises of a hap

am fearful now that these hopes of a future
felicity are but phantoms and will vanish
as 1 grasp them, but 1 hope for better
things and 1 trust that the acquaintance so
singularly begun by us may ripen into love
an<t something more than a mere commu

now I have read your letter so much that
I have learned to love the hand that trac

1 shall ever consider as sacred, 1 am very
much pleased indeed with the description
of yourself, just the very girl for me, I will

ever expect to require or demand it of yon,

you to reply to this and let me know some

The Money King.
A French writer thus speaks of the
Baron James Rothschild :
“Monsieur de Rothschild is an indefa
tigable. worker. He rises early, looks
after his own affairs himself. He receives
visitors after he has prepared the day's
work for his myrmidou3. On certain points
he is uubendiug, but he is a good matt,
though not easily moved. He has the
perspicacity of a man who has made the
largest fortune in Europe. His views op
financial matters are always sound ; he has
a genius for fores eeing events. His judg
ment of men is unerring, and consequently
he knows with whom and how to deal.—
Nothing turns him aside from a purpose he
has once formed; his views are always
cl'ai, and forcibly expressed. The hours
devoted by him to work are occupied until
the last minute. He then withdraws him
self entirely from business, and resorts to *
the pleasures of life.”
The house of Rothschild, consisting of
the Baron James, Charles, Lionel, and
other brothers and cousins, is undoubtedly
the most royal and powerful ofthereigning
European families. They have absorded
most ot the gold and silver of the world,
and no nation can go to war in Europe
without their sovereign permission. They
lent the Emperor of Russia forty millions
for the Crimean war; they lent the British
government seventy-five millions; Turkey,
Austria, Sardinia, Prussia, and Egypt
have all looked to theit pockets for the
sinews of war. The Emperor of Austria,
at the last accounts, was trying to obtain •
ftesb supply from this inexhaustible foun
tain, and even the great Napoleon is ea
ger to propitiate the branch of the house
in bis empire. It Is said that the great
banker has been offered the sovereignly of
Jerusalem, but having all the sceptres of
Europe in his coat pocket, he magnificently
disdains the proposition. The Philad?!-
adelplua American has a story, that the
Baron James was quietly leauing against
a column in the Exchange (which column,
from long occupation by him, is recognised
as the Rothschild), when a gentleman of
mysterious deportment approached him
and intimated that he came from the neigh
borhood of the Tuileries, to confer with
him respecting the disposal of the Holy
City. Tiie Baron is said to have replied
in terms by no meane courteous ; in fact,
he consigned the ambassador and his mas
ter to a place not mentioned to cars polite.
It is supposed that he at onee perceived a

An old visitor to Saratoga, the editor of
the Fayetteville (N. C.) Observer, writes
as follows of the old times and new at
Saratoga:
A few years ago I read a very pleasant
little volume entitled “The Recollections
of a Belle,” in which the lady authoress
gave an account of her journey, sixty year*
ago, from her home in Georgia to Ballston,
the Saratoga of that day, now an insigni
ficant village eight miles from here. The
family le.ft home in the coach and four,
with outriders, preceded by leisurely stage*
through South Carolina, North Carolina,
Virginia, (stopping on the way at John
Randolph’s house, the father being a friend
of the eccentric Virginian,) then to Wash
ington City, Baltimore, Philadelphia New-
York, stopping (to get something to wear,)
at the famous City Hotel, in Jennings fie
S Dillard’s day. The reader can imagine
ow long it took thns to travel a thousand
miles, ana at what expense the journey
was made. The belle is now a great
grandmother, her father and bis friendi
John Randrlpb, long since went the way
of all flesh, the City Hotel was razed to the
ground, and dry goods stores cover it*,

ceased to be either useful or ornamental,

the Georgia belle of this day finds herself
at Saratoga after a journey of only thro*
days, at r a trifling expense comparatively,
and ahont almost to converse with them
she left behind. The world is when, hot

all events, it mJgb* he def&calt to Aid a
