Freed Africans

l he resulta of a war degenerated into a crusade to promote equality between white Americana and black Africans oq this continent, are being developed at a rapid and fearful rate. The desolation, devastation, disorder, physical and mora! misery which ensuud in Spani.sh America, in Mexico, and in the Islands oi the West Indien orí attempt to elévate Indiana and Africans to an impnsslble equality with white men, have already begun- in extensivo portions of the United States- a deslruction so marked that it may wel] seem to be the veogeaoee of God upon tLo perverted paseiona of miserab'o men. The report of Mr. Ykatman-, president of the Western Sanitarv (jommission, as givea in the Tribune, does not perm.it any possiole doubt of'the frightfu! oondition of the freed Africana who are eoaiterod along lbo Mississipi, froin Cairo to Nutchez.

These people should beeducated up to, and ttuidu to realize their new coniiition. Their masters sold them or hired them out, fed them, :ind dothed them ; let them now hilo themselves out, and with their wages buy their own food and clothing, and supply all thdr other wants.

What a picture is this of abolitioti humanity and integrity!
