PUBLISHED BY REQUEST OF THE CLCB. ( Concluded from last ueik.) I repeal thai so far as human observation has X'emied, extraneous causes have nev er produced a tiansmuiation of speries; and I trust 1 tdiali be able to prove, as lar as my proposition is susceptible of proof, that the white and blai-k man belong to two distinct specie. But admitting all t'.ie in fluence that can reasonably be serilJ i. .-iiiiau-; it unist have required imllions of years for a race originally white, to nave become black by such repealed actioi:, so as to render the color hereditary. This could not have been the ease; f.r geologic al miMitiiuems prove must positively, mat the antiquity of the human race filU short ol GU00 years. My position i foil v si.s-taiin-d y fact thai the neert lia- on ilergone n change during the last 3800 years. lhe sculpture on the wall.- 'f one oi .tie s puictt es at I hehes, which are regarded by Cliamp-dlu n as having been executed 2000 years before lhe elms" tiau era, euahli- tlie features of lhe negro to he recognized as eas.ly as the represent ations of Ids !esceiuiaiMS of the preseni day. It is uoitltv of reuiaik in (his place, that when these sculptures were executed, lite posi-deluvimi world was only a lit tle more than 300 years old; & cons-quent-!y the vaneiirs of ndor and f-aiures couM not have been produced by climu'e. We are bound, then, mas liuch as we eaunoi allow a mi ficieiu length id tone for t.'ie operaiion of climate, to ad. nit 1'ut the dif It-rent races are d.'-cnd.-d fro n l.ir.-renl pairs that were originally .-la i ptl vvi;h all I ie eriaracters t.al d-siiuguis.'i Oieui. Tna. lhe variety of color is not owing to the in fluence of climate, is proved aiso, by the fact that all the colors of the human race are to be f -und in every c imate in the world. hile the Esqumaux &. Lapland ers, both veiy dark, have resided neat the P'dar regions from time immemorial, the Arahs and oiher nations of the Caucasian or white species have resided in lhe tropics. It is well known that whatever influence climate may exert upon tlie complexion, it has never been fausmiited lo posterity. The children of Minburnt parents -esidmg. in hot climates, are as 1 nr as if they crc naitves of colder region;fc oily heco ne'dark from exposure. 'I'.ie ah.uigiues who were f lusid spread over this continent from the frozen regions of the itorlli lo ilie burning climate of tne Eqmr.or pres-euied no variety o couipli-xio'i woritiv tif notice. Another e.) oaiiou of the varieties of the human race has been suggested; and, like all other theories, however a1 urd and untenable, has had, and yet has aerous supporter.-. It is i-uppo-ed that at an early period alter the deluge, some branch of the human family became liable to the di-ple-i-ure ol m I).ity whn:'i was maitift-st ed by the iniLcttoii of the curse of black ness. Whether lii s curse was iull c.ed upon liaui for the iii.ligury wnh which he treated his fathr r, is of rurse a mailer of il'iuht; the curse which was pronounced "gainst him as we fiiil it recorded in the scriptures, extending only so far as to doom him and his posterity l bond .ge. O.hers hdteve that when the confusion ol languages took place among those engaged in building lhe Tower of I5ahrl all lhe va rieties of col. if, iorn found to exist among the mt'ioiis ,.f the earth, had their or gin. B it all lhe theories which ascribe the oiigtn of the (Jiffe.-enl species of the liumau race to a special providence, aie shown to be utterly unworthy of credit, by the facts that it was the business of Moses ar.d his successors to write out a correct history of the descendants of Adam; and afterwards of Noah and his descendants; and that all the impotent events in lhe history of the human family, and many tie tails w hich seem to us io be nni iiportaui were faithfully chronicled by ihem; and yet we find not one word said about a change in the color of a single individual; much les-i of lhe whole race. O-i lhe con trary, when the color of the Ethiopian was spoken ol in the ancient scriptures; it was evidently alluded to as a fact in natural history. "Can the Ethiopian change Ins skm or the leopard change his sooir Here we (i id the color of the neerro spo ken of just as were the spots of the leop ard; to the one rase as a natural variety of s;ie-ies in th human being, in the other a Jisiinct species of animal. Having brought forward such general objections to lhe common op umn, on i'ms subject s have KUJtfested themselves to my iiitnil. . I t-haM now proceed to show from die natural history of the negro, that be belong to a distinct species of the hu man family, from the white man. In our view of man as an animal, tlie attention is forcibly drawn to his erect position, which constitutes a striking diff'reiice between him und lhe rest of the animal creation. Il has been beautifully ard correctly said of man that "fie alone turns his countenance towards heaven" In the first and most obvious distinction, the negro is as inferior in the white man. as the Ouraug nuiang is inferior to the negro; and the difference in both cases arises from a difference in ana- I tornieal conform a'.ion. Id the hite roan that large hole (the foramen occipitale of analnmis's which forms the only commu nication between the brain and spinal mar row, is situated near the centre of the cra nium; and at tlie same point is the articu lating surface which connects the head w iih the first bone of the neck; while just behind the same point we find a l?rgp and well formed occiput or back pari of the heat!, with its corresponding portion of biain; in front rises the ample forehead, covering that vast manufactory of rdeas, and overhangi- g those noble and Cod-like icatures wine i, altogether inilieale a close alliance with Deity. From these facts it must be apparent that trie equality of weight before and behind; and the central position nf the bead upon the neck; while It produces- a state of equilibrium as regards lhe head; must also produce an erector perpendicular position of the body whu-h supports it; and ihat a lute drawn ihroujli me ventre of the spinous column will beat right anoles wiih the ir unver.-e diameter f of lhe b-al. The consequence is that tlie w hite man stand erect ami look f rwarJ; ami thai while is chin is sufficiently near his breast in fron:; hisoccipui is at a pr;i er distance from his neck behind. Li rdoimi to these distinguishing featuits, the mosi experienced anatomists do not disagree ;n relation to the negro. The occipital bo!e in the negro is far behind lhe centie of liie basis of the cranium; and the oecipiu er hinder part of the head can hardly be sai l to exist except in contradistinction to lite front f me hea l. The forehead of ! part the ii"gro is always narrow an 1 contracted like that of the ape; while the long and strong tin !er j nv. lhe retreati ig c uu, I'n high chevk bote s. lhe ll it noe, lhe Mick lip-anil ample face projecting like a S'lonl, decidedl,' overcome by their uur.ed weigh', the coioiterp using mil lenee f me back t the load. The consequence is, ihat in order to ai'ain as nearly as po.-sible tlie erect position, the loins of the negr now be thrown back; lhe spine pitched forward, and the head made to take a position upon the atlas or first bone of the neck, in order to balance it, which depresses the hinder part down towards the back of me neck; and elevates the chin; and places il far from ihr? breast. In all these particulars lhe negro closely resembles the Onrang ouiang. whose still more inclined position in a -tempting to statu! eiecl, proceeds f.om Hie same causes of a Still more dimintl'ive Of cipir; and from the occipital hole being still farther behind ihe centre of the base of lhe cr miiim. Tlie walking position of the neero is therefore, oce-sarilv les erei than that of the while man; the skill; containing nine ounces b-s water ihan mat of the white man; the forehead more re treating;ihe bony structure of the nose rl n; the tinder jaw longer ami stronger; the occipital hole far removed behind the cen tre of the basis of the skull; and the po-i-tion of the head on the atUn or first bone of the neck decidedly dillereni from thai of lhe whnp man. To these !iflVreueet may he added the larg-r honv orbits -f toe eyes; the hrger meatus attdilorious of the b ny structure of the ear. The teeth are also larger, thicker and more disi3tit from each other; and ihe srrinders more obtuse. The forearm is longer; the tibia or amerior and larger bone of the leg curves forward, and the bones of the foot and ankle ire less arched, making the foot flat and in many cases for rung a protuberance nnder l ie in ner ankle of singular deformity. The muscles which form the calf of the leg are less fully developed and situated much nearer lhe liam; while the tendo-aelulles or tendon passing from the calf to the heel is much larger and more analogous to the crural jendous of inferior animal-; the w hole forming a limb totally unlike any ihing to be met with in lhe limb of ihe white man. Another very remarkable dif ference between the negro and the white man, which brings the latter much nearer those dumb animal which nearest resem bles man is lo be found in the facial angle. Tlie angle formed by .drawing a line fiom lhe forehead to ihe upper lip, and from thenco H tlie bottom ofthe ear is so obtuse in the white man as almost to f rm a right arigle; wh le in the negro it rarely exceeds 70 degrees. In the Ourang ouiang it i more acciiie; and stV more accute in the inferior animals. 1 1 lins been observed that animals whose nervous chords are larger in proportion 1 1 the size of ihe brain, sire bpiter adapted to labor: while iho-e with larger brain and es nerve are belter dfapted to intellectual efforts. The negro in this particular is more nearly allied lo inferior au'mals; their brain bemg much smaller and their nerves much larger than those of the whitemau. These are some of lhe most considerable anatomical differences between the wlii'e nan and the negro but there are other dif ferences Mill mere striking and belter known to all mankind. These are the black skin and cri-p hair. Although 1 migbi mention facts connected with the functions of the skin which tvocM go far toward proving a difference anatomically and physiologically between the subcuta neous glands of the negro ami white man; I forbear for sulncient reasons, alluding to them more iu detail on the present occasion, Hut it is alleged that tlie proof of identi ty of tspenes in the animal creation, rests exclusively on tlie prol.-fi.: character or otherwise of lhe off-pring of the doubtful species. Even it this were allowed to be a general rule, no one can doubt that there might ami most probably would be excep Moos as there are lo all general rules; f r as Doctor Fair very j isily remarks "these higher productions will sometimes he pro diietivp in the brute creation; but will' soon he lost " So remarks Mr. Long, in rela tion to the inulali es of the West Indies. "Their children, if any, are very fvv, an t in the second generation they are child less." "That there are therefore at least two species of mankiti I differing essentia'Iv fiom each other in many and striking parti cut irs of an tto n.cal conformation, as well as in the colour of their skin and lhe quali ties and appearance .f their hair, conti.u he. d uhied: and the f ict that the next descend ing step in the animal creation from the negro brings us to the higher orders of the brute creation, does nol by any means deny to in ill tne sta bling character ol a human beniij; nor 0-es u bring the numer ous class of tne titmice, or apes, at all near er to man than ilie rank they occupy among the brutes would seem to j isid'y. Tlie O.irang outang is of : the hruie creation nearest allied to man in f rn and intuition; and although in his natural state he builds his rude habiia'ioii of cane, or Micks, and "!'tr's u basket in w inch he takes fish Irooi the rivers of his native counirv: ' aod al'hough lie has been laug'.t by artificial ue ins lo adj'H-t the tah., to bring i i dinner, od to wait on company while ill .ing; and even to use the k nfe and fork in taking uis own diei and lo sit and work bke a il man being, yet he but a brute, a id oas i limit to his capicities. not being capa h!e of ih it coTinuady progress, ve state of improvement which is one of tlie great marks of dis'iiictiott between man and the lib rior animal creation. M e may some times aid the understanding in arriving at the truth by observations on exernal cir cumstances, when we cannot attain to it by fallowing al uie the rational emanations of ttie mind. Why is it then mat neariy all the nations of the earth nave al some peri od of their existence seized on the Afii'-an negro nod broke him to labor as they would j a hore of an ox! Why have they ) -ii urn in consent designated th'S particulai race of men for the lo .vest and most menial occupation. s? Il is because they have u. sunclively, as it were, looked on them as far bencatn the wbtie man in the scale of "xi9ence, and have fell, in consequence, a disposition almost intuitive, to appropriate the negro to the ordinary purposes of la bor as they would any other inferior animal of creation. Il may also be appropriately enquired why the African submits io br enslaved with so little resistance, ar.d bears Hie burthens imposed on him with so much patience? It is heeau-e. although be is endowed with rea-on, and possesses in a sub ordinate degree some of the higher fa culties of ihe mind, yet lie lias an instinctive consciousness ol the want ol Hi ise indispen--ahle qualifications of understanding and judg nenl to enable him lo succeed in the profitable control of bis own actions, or in successfully providing for his own wants Ii is a notorious fact that the Amcrcan In dians. which i most probably another dis unci s;ec es of lhe human race, cannot exist in a state of -lavery; lie pine away commit illv, he ce i-es to be prolific, and a few yea's puts an end to him and his race. "The energies of bis nature are conceit ra ted in his muscular system; lie is the child of the unbounded forest.' and ofihe ci.a.- ; iu his nan ve woo Is he is patient, steady ami persevering, with great acuteness wf perception, and soundness of j idgmerit, ai.d hut linle sensibility. Hut if he is cir cumscribed oi his actions, controlled in hi wishes, and limited as t space, heheeouie siillen and indifferent a lo every thing that interests as mortals. Il is not so with the negro; he thrives no w here so well as in the-serviee of a good master, and increases no w here o rapidly a iu bondage connect ed w ith moderate indugenee, and tempered with ike usual dictates ol It n rranilVj N r has he any where as yet, either in free dom or otherwise, developed those higher facnl les which fit mankind for lhe success ful cubit Htinn of cm! liberty. However sprightly ami intelligent . he may appear widiin the limited sphere of his actions, his mini", like hi brain, is too coni'aived too limited, too circumscr bed to reach after these higher destinies, which have a:lrac tionsonlv for me more perfect of our spe cies. It lias been justly and truly asserted by a learned writer, that "the anient Egyp tians were not negroes, and our aris and -cienees.were deiived fro o Asia," and that "ihe assertions of Volney to the conirary proves no more than that even a deist ran be credulous w hen in opposition to reli gion." In the absence of tlie higher attri butes ofthe mind, the negto is, in his mvr. country as well as elsewhere, artful, wily, and treaeherou; seeking like ihe inferior animals io perpetrate his thefis and tleprn dations under cv-r t.f the night. Ife will in to own country seize on the offspring of his neighbor by stealth, and sell lion into slavery; ar.d tha writer of these scraps has known instances of this l-tct, if lite repre sentations of the abducted are lo be relied oo. Wuh an animal system exceedingly adapted to enduring labor, he has none of those innate propensities which excite to its performance. II is lot has therefore been casi for the most part in the luxurious and abundant climates of the torrid z hip, and chiefly in the rich soils and eternal sum mers of Africa, where ihe fruit of me earth invite him to pluck them, ami lhe tempera ture of ihe air Has never suggested the ne cessity of clothing. From the Richmond Enquirer. WHO ARE THE NATURAL ALLIES OF TIIE SOU I II! The Whigs of the N rth or the Demo cr its of ihe North? Take me Legislature of New York, as a sample of their feel ings.

Who voied in the Senate for the bill to repeal their la , giving i'ie jury trial to fugitive negroe? The Democrats alone Hie Whigs tj a man voted against it. Who supported the Protective Tariff? The Whig members of the Legislature, in their Address to the people denounce the Democrats, for putting down their Tariff resolutions Whtl-t t ie Democrats, in their Address, hdd this language; "Oar Nationa' (iovcr:im iit exhibits to us the singular spectacle of distributing its funds among the states, when us e.nbar ra-s nents compel it t. borrow money for it ow n wants, upon terms equivalent to me payment of an annual niU'resl of nine per C-Mlt. "Whde the distribution system is em harrassiug ihe fiscal operations of the (ien eral ( iverument, it afford n relief to ihe several Slates. Whatever they shall re ceive from that source, mu t be leturned to ihe coffers of ihe Federal Cover imrnt, by a high t intf of duties upon imparted arti cles, and which will be most severe in its operaiion upon tne laboring clas ses.

I.et the ppupil. ,f Vo-into jti.l.T by the record and they will sv, as Mr. Jefferson said years ago, the Republicans are our natural allies, not the Federalists and we say, not the friends of the Bank and of Henry Clay.

An evidence of ihe great popularity of Clay Whiggery and his high Tanfrnotions!" WAR UPON THE CURRENCY. The pro notion of a paper currency, and oppression of gold and silver, has been a fundament-il object with the High Tory party in England, and the Federal party in the United Slates, from the foundation of those parties. Paper versus gold has been a war in England above a hundred years, and in tht United Slates above fifty years; and a: no period ba ihia war bcci prose cuted with more, energy than al the present moment in the United Slates. All the measures of the extra jpsstou, and of tha present session, relating to lhe currency, have been entirely directed to the suppert of paper money, and the destruction of specie; and, among other measort s 'f hi kind, is the bill lately reported tn the Whig House of Representatives lo nboiish and sell out the branch mints! There vre three of these mints -two on a small reals for gold, in tlie gold rtgions of Nonh Carolina and Ccorgia, and one on a laige scule, both for gold and silver. These three mints are the on'y ones w hich are beneficiul to the South and West; they are the only ones which are locally situated to distribute tie c mage through the Southern and West ern Stales. The Philadelphia miul is Hot so situated. Il is condemned, by its lo cality, to supply the Atlantic northeastern border, and to facilitate shipment of specie to Europe. There is nothing in the course of trade to carry specie from Philadelphia, lo the South and West: it is only from the Southern gold mints, and the New Oilcans mini, thai lhe South and West can evtr obtain a supply nf domestic coin; and nowr the Federal-Whigs propose lo abolish and sell oi.t these mints. This is in exact keeping with all the conduct of the present paper money party, to suppress specie, and promote paper circulation. It is in keep ing with the ridicule cast on specie and i friends in keeping with the repeal of the Independent Treasury in keeping with the adoption of local bank paper for a fede ral currency in keeping with the present forced tender of depreciated paper in keeping with ike recharter of ihe District hanks, with express authority to bank upon broken bank notes in keeping with the triple plans for exchequer bills and in keeping with the new design to fall hack upon E wing's plan for a National Bank, which, on the abortion nf all the Exche quers, is now to be revived and fastened upon the country! In the mean time, in order to obtain arguments in destroy tlie branch mints, ant! to cause them to become useless, the coinage at them is nearly stop ped, and, if tin Whiggies continue in power, will probably he stopped entirely. With these remarks, we submit the bill to abolish and el the branch mints, that all may see lhe designs of the paper money parly: Globe. "A RILL to establish thp branch mints. l'Ue it enacted by the Smote and House of Representatives ofthe United States nf America in Consreis assembled. That, from and after the passage of this act, all operations at the branch mints at New Or leans, Charlotte. North Carolina, and Dah lonega, Ceorgia, shall cease ; and the said (ranch mints, together with all the offices created by the act establishing them, shall be. ami are hereby, abolished. "Sec 2 And be it further enacted. That the Secretary of ihe Treasury be, and be is hereby, authorized lo appoint a suitable person to take charge of each of the said branch mints, and tlie property belonging to the United Slates in or attached to ihem, and to pre-erve the same under his instruc tion, until further disposition shall be made of the said mints and public pro perty: Provided, That ihe sail! agent ap pointed to take charge ofthe New Oilcans branch mint, and public property attached or belonging to it, shall not receive iniro than at the rate of dollars per an num; in full compenatin for his service; and lhe agents appointed io lake charge of the branch mints at Charlotte, North Car olina, and at Dahlonega, Ceorgia, tdiall not receive more than al the rate of dollars per annum each, in full compensa tion for ihetr services.

That the Secreia'y of lhe Treasury shall report to Congress, at its next session, what dispo lion, in bis opinion, ran b made of tlie branch mints, and the property belonging to mem, must conducive lo tha public interest." THE FRIENDS OF THE CONSTI TUTION' AND THE UNION. Tho public will see, in the rote taken in the Legislature of New York, upnn lb con'ioversy between lhe Governor of tint Slate ami the S.ate of Virginia, another manifestation of lhe devotion of the De mocracy of lhe North to lhe Confederacy established by our fathers.
