. aA.LGAJ.I \tiojn, A Kopiy by Rev. S.P. Richer Ison, D. R., <o a Sermon i y 'Jr. Tal in ,t?e.P.nr.chod in Brook lyn, N. Y., March 21, On “'t:se l. :.:iiry] Status, Unixi;’’ra tion Eihologv, and the Amal gamation of all -ho Races.” Text Acts xvii arid paid o!' Ihu Riyi.ii v*;;i vc, “And hath rn?ide a/one biood a ! nations,’" (the whole veri-e) <>l men tor i< dwell on all ihe i'uce o ; the earth, and hath de tc. mined the limes before appoint <-<!. and tiie hounds of their liabitu tion.’" The whole verse shows clear ly that God, instead of intending to unh a by immigration and amal gamation all nationalities, before determined and appointed thoir bounds of separaiioa. lie gave Af rica lo Ham, Asia to Shem and Eu rope and the West to Japheth. He also gave form, brain and color to each family suited lo develop the countries where he placed them. Dr. Talmage says; “The advant age of the influx of nations, through mighty addilions of foreign popu lation to our native population I think God is giving, to fill this land will) a race of people 95 per cent, superior to anything the world has ever seen. Marriage outside one’s own nationality and with another style of nationality is a mighty gain.” The doctor lhen speaks of him self and of the very great gain by in. lug the Scotch and Irish. Tal j:. i r e knows that the European na lions are largely made up of the virile or Japhetic race, all of the one primordial race. The Doctor is a great man in some respects, but vuat- would he have been if only Scotch and Irish blood had Seen \ plemented with a little spit,:!, ng of negro, Indian and Kotlentoß He ]>roposes to make (act ihe North) “but (lie whole United States a great caldron, in wide:, to mix all races and all na tionalises; and to iormulate in this caklron, out of all races, anew race or manhood “95 per cent, su perior to anything this world has aver seen.” J'he doctor proves, as he thinks, from his garbled text, and scientif ic analysis of single part of ran, “the blood,” that all men are ihe same, Now. if the doctor real ly wanted lo be fair in his presenta tion of.his subject to the world, why did lie not subject the hair, skin, bones and odor of all the rac 3s to the same annalysis? Why mst take one thing, “ihe blood. ’ A p an nals have someone thing in cm.: VY;di man, seeing, hear i’i:r ;p.'. tasting belong to the ass as well as the man, ! a 1 ! the races are one when put i ;dgcaldron, will they not ebb 1)3 one when he' takes them . 1 If i,he putting of all the rac .c j- :> ic. big caidron. with then ; re - ilors and dors, would ~; ke shVm all Scotch Irish, it , 1 to put them in, but so far as h as * )een mad .• facts re that in exact proportion as ye * put jd white, black or yellow, Vs comes out whii?, black or yellow in the very' .mine pr ,j; on \ was nut in, if Iht whi e and black mi; they will he muLitGes in all comiug gamra i.oo ■, 1 never see:; the resuh's o’amal g ;n’ t !on,on so large a scale as the donor proposes, irilli his great droii; b i I lu.vo teen the white, black and Indian, all mixed up m one person, but liiat person was r.oihingl'keDr, Taltnage s beauty, nor was the 95 per cent, beyond anything I had ever seen. The whUe and yellow were ve:y much marred in (he mixture, and the black not much improved if at all. The mulatto may, in some respect, but he an improvement on the ne gro, but lie is cerlainly no improve ment on the while man, and in the long run the mulatto, like ail the other hybrids, becomes extinct. My long observation goes to prove that in mixing the races all are weakened and none benetitted. a'l the different families of the same race may bo benetitted by mixing, like Ihe Scotch and Irish, but never by mixing the races. II God had mtendedthe amalgam tion oi" all the races, why did He, by creation, or miraculous interposi r'oil separate the races, and ap point them bounds, and give to eich the place of his kabilation. The negro is not a human inven tion, nor is the white or yellow man, but a divine appointment. The three colors are primordial, and are not radically changed by food or climate. The negro was black four thousand years ago, as -he is now, God says he an not change his skin nay more than the leopard can change his spot?, and yet the doctor would change God’s decree. Europe and Ike North brought the negro from his God-given home and sold him te the South, then be coming dissatisfied with what they had done, destroyed a half million of Southern white people to set the four million’of negroes free. In their modes of warfare they showed that they were capable of the deepest depravity, and really acted worse than common savages. Now' they are dissatisfied with the freedom of fhe negro, and their most popular and sensational di vine sounded the bugle note on the 3rd of March in Brooklyn, N. Y., to rig up a big caldron info which he proposes to cast both negroes and whites, and sfew them belli down tea common mulatto, and destroy both the white and black races and substitute them with a race of mulattoe*. a type of humani ty God never made. There is not a mulatto or mule in the primordial type in the kingdom of nature. The Bible, experience and God in universal na ture, are all pronounced against the amalgamatien of the races. I have never known a Scotch-Irishman, Dutchman or Englishman, not even a cold blooded Yankee to improve their pos'aiity by mixing with negroes and Indians. Nor have I ever known the negro or Indian much improved by mixiDg with them. Tito real facts are, the negro baa no mere affinities for the j white and yellow races, than ileyka’* ! for him. Dr. Ttltnv e ‘■ays: “ Third wan time when 1 entertained race preju dice?, hut thinks to God that prejn j dies is "coo, and if I ? v-t in church on one cide a olack man and on the other si.l* and Indian and let re me a GhiaamSa and behind me si Turk, I would be an happy as I am now fraud iug in the presence oi this brilliant udience; the sooner wagot this cor p-e of race prejudice buried the healthier will ho (not oar Northern) but American atmosphere ’’ This is the most pro nounced social equality and aiuelgama tion I Lave ever heard Lorn any man. I have denied that the Nor them church es hold any such views, and that it was only a ghost of Southern imagina tion. Dr. Talmage is a representative ui: a, and knows the mind aaj feelings of the no th. Dr. Talmage ought to be a good Rroabyteiian and let Gel’s divino de crees alone. Did Gkid not erda’n the race? The doctor ougl tto be tried for heiesy and put out of the chureh for trying to violate, the divine derees by mak'ng mulatioss out of people which God has made white and black. I would suggest to the good doctor aud his brilliant congregation, to make the experiment of mixing the races on a smaller scale, and not hare so large aLi rural all at once. Let one of the dovtor’s daughters marry a negro, and auother a Chinaman, and another a Hottentot and then let hia Elders fol low his example, and take time and see if, on small scale, they can pro duce 95 per cent above anjth ng the world has ever seon. Then show his picture of this new development to hia northern friends, who drive the negro children out of their white public sehools. If the north will fix tip large gardens and invite fhe negroes to come up north among their friends, and then eatir into a heaity amalgamation, the ne, ro problem may be solved. It the good doctor will take the time and pains to review the history of nations, their decay aud final fa)’, he Wifi see that in most instances their tain was the result, both religiously and politically of mixing nations and amalgamation. God forbade the Jews to mix with other nations. Dr, T&l --mage, in the face of the Bible, propos es to build np a gieat nation out of the Very causes that have destroyed great er nations. 1 have bo doubt but our good Pr. Talmageaud brilliant Brook lyn congregations would suffer cruoi fixion before they would mix their fami lies with negroes, Chinamen and Hot tentots. This great country his been built up, not by the Hamstie or Shem etic races, but by the children of Jap heth—English, Dutch, Sootch and Irish, and the country will never be injured by the immigration of those nationalities, or our amalgamation with them. lam English and German, but no negro or Chinaman. An English man or Scotchman is not a foreigner in this oountry, but one of the same white family. S P. RichakdSOV. Gladstone at the age ot eighty is eaid to be good for a tramp of twenty miles. Aud why not? At the sar e age Aaron Burr could outwalk ai y youngster in New York. His hair did not have a thread of gray, and he was so handsome and faseinating that his wife separated from him, because she oelieved him to be unfaithful. With his eorreet habits and carefnl mode ot life, Gladstone ought o be a better man physically than Burr, who had in jured his constitution by reckless ex o .me and dissipation. There is no rea son in the world why a man of eighty thn ld not be strong and active both n u ind and body. Hew Millinery Store* James T.
