Negroes and Negro "Slavery:" the first an inferior race: the latter its normal condition.

may “Knight” a negro, and declare that _she_ thus makes him superior to
the common throng of white men, but the black skin, and woolly hair, and
flat nose, and gross organism, and semi-animal instinct, fixed by the
hand of the Eternal, remains just the same, unaltered and unalterable
forever. All that is possible with the middle-aged woman in question,
and those who surround her, is to corrupt, to debauch, to destroy, to
exterminate, to murder their own blood, to doom the white people of
those islands to a fate more horrible than the universal slaughter that
swept away the whites of San Domingo. The process of extinction now
rapidly destroying the white population of these islands has been
already considered, but it may be stated again in this place, for it
involves such tremendous consequences that it should be shouted in the
ears of the world with the voice of an earthquake. The legal and
political equality of the negro necessarily carries after it social
equality wherever they predominate in numbers, and when there are no
social distinctions of race or blood recognized, when that instinct
which God has given us to protect the integrity of the organism, is
debauched and trampled under foot—when, in short, the “prejudice against
color” is lost, then such depraved creatures do not hesitate to form
those hideous alliances that generate mulatto offspring. And when the
whole force of government is brought to bear against the “prejudice”
that revolts at social equality—the hideous affiliation, the monstrous
admixture of blood, the vile obscenity that they may term marriage,
follows with equal certainty. But the result of this admixture—the
wretched progeny—the diseased and sterile offspring—has a determinate
limit, and it is solely a question of time when it becomes wholly
extinct. Any one reflecting a moment on this subject—that is, any
American whose instincts are healthy and true—would surely prefer that
his offspring should perish from the earth rather than to mix their
blood with that of the negro; and as the white blood in Jamaica, etc.,
is rapidly mixing with the negro, and without foreign addition to the
white element it must soon be universally tainted with the base alloy;
and as all mongrels must of necessity ultimately perish, it is certain
that the fate of the white people of these islands is vastly more
deplorable than was that of those suddenly swept from existence in the
Island of Hayti.
