nature.' There are a heap- of people
now in the south who look upon slavery
like it was Achen's wedge of gold and
perished under the condemnation of
dod and man, but I don't want anybody
to teach my children any such slanders.
for I know it 'was in the main a humane
institution, and if the nigger is any bet
ter off now than he used to ! be, I can't
see. ! The whites are better off, , a lpg
record o two races living together in peace
unless one was in a state of .dependence
upon the other. Our modem philanthrop
ists are deceiving the negro when they
flatter him .with a capacity equal 'to the
whites in fitness to invent or to govern, or
to rise to the heroic or the sublime. I
Rj&ekou if one of our millionaires was to
die and leave his money for the education '
of poor white children it would ' be a vio-
lation of some of the amendments. We
want to help the pearo, but we want him
to help himself first. He has got to work
out his advancement by Industry and by
saving what bef makes before , eduaction
will do him any good. r
What the bad negro wants is less chain,
gang and more whipping and "the white
man should be punished in the same way.
