Intellectual Superiority

In Mexico, though ihere is much con'usion of races, the blood ofihe Caucasian, ïhe Indian, and the Negro being commingled in cvery conceivable proporon, tho aristocracy of color is very decisively manifested. The pure Castillian s very pfoud of his untdultraled lineage, and looks down with aristocratie haug-htiïess upon the dusky skin which s an ndication of an humbler parantage. - A pprox matton (tr the Caucasian race is here, as every whcre elsc, es'.eemed an ïonor. That tlie white man is now, in intellect arid energy, in moral and physical power, the world over, greally saperior to the negto race, few will ündërtake to deny. There is unqueslionnb!y great diversity of opinión respecíing tho cause ofthis inequality, but fer, howeVer, Vill question Is existence. And thisadmilted inferioriiy is g-enerally ndduced as an argument in favor of Sla very - but it is surely a strange reason with which to silence the reproaches of conscience. - Tlie men who till Danifl Webster's farm, nnd servants who minister lo lbo househohl wants of John Q. Adains, are doubtless intellectually inferior to thcir employers - but surely they are not on this account to be defraudeJ of their righis of manhood, to be degraded to the condition ofslavcs, to be bought and suld in the innrket. Jjhn Quincy Adams may not be willing to marry his son to the daughter of his washwoman, or to marry his daugliter to the son of his footman, but surely this is no reason why he should choat his washwoman out of her wages, or defraud bis íooíman out of his hire. The n-'iked asserlion, for t is no argument, is this, "because 1 am more shrewd amlstrongrr tlian my unfortunate brother, tlierefore I have a riglit to defraud him. I can' compel him to work for me whlipul wnges and therefore I have a right to do t. I can' blot out the eyes of his mind, and keep n him ignoranoe. & therefore I wil!. Ho shallnot even know oftlie riglits of vvhich I rob him." Somc infiuence musí 'naveaivfully derangedjihc conscicnce Lcfore such reasoning as lilis could have quieted its leproaches. - VVlipn eiiliglitened piety sliall dwe!l n tlie lieart, tlie wise and lile strongwill say, I will protpct my less fortúnale brolher, nnd fai.-ly iemunera:e him fur his toü ,' his feeble mind I will strive to efilighen nnd to strengthen, I will be his benefactor, not his tyrant ; his brother, nol his driver.' The píen that it ís benevolence which induces one to enslave his fellowman, that the motive is kindness in wishing to provide for otie who is incapable of taking care of liimself, is one which is too absurd to be noliced. No one can soberly pretend that brotherly kindness has led to the enslavüment of the negro. The Ciiicinnati Herald, in speaking of the nominations made at the BuiFalo convention by its party, says, that the delegrtion from this state urged the poslponementof the nomination unanimously( "but were not seconded by thoseeven whohad been instructed by their donstituencies to ihnt effect, The Indiana and N. Hampshire delegntions bolh voted for an immedinte notnination, though expressly instructed lolhe contrary.'1 'We have no room for nny furtlier comments upan its proceedings. We are still persundf-d ol'the impolicy of mnking the norninniions this fall. But the Con vention inving ihought alherwisp and believing iisseleclions are the best it conld have made under :he circumstances, they shall havo our cordial support until we can bfi shown n clearly bettef way of promoting ïhe great caase oi emancipation." The Telegraph con'.rove fsy between O'Reüly and associates, and "Fog" Smitli and associates, is no nenrer a settlement lhon six months ago, thaf we can seè. In Chicago, each pnrty has a press enüsied in its favorhere, the press has been neulial, only desiring a sètiïcment of the diífíciilties. Yfhsiever we have publishedon eitherside we have chafgèd as advertismenfs, so also has tho Advertiser, we presume. Ií is but fair, as the telegraph makes the press pay exorbitanlly. From whal we can gather fhere is a probability of two lines between this city and Chicago, and we think business men have no cause of complair.t for.
