The African differs from the Anglo-Saxon in his physical conformation, by his black skin, his curly hair, his flat nose and broad flat foot.  Nor is he less distinctly marked by his mental characteristics.  Content to repose on the bosom of his mother terra firma, he is not disturbed by dreams of honor, wealth or fame.  He does not with the white man possess that towering ambition, that soars aloft in climes ethereal.  There is with the African no motive to spur him to action; no incentive to the acquisition of wealth; no aspiration for power; no desire for honor or fame.  Self reliance and enterprise, are the peculiar characteristics of the Anglo-Saxon race; on the contrary, the African in his native state, is content with his hut and his palm-leaf shade, and he is now what he was centuries ago; there is no improvement or change whatever.  The African under no circumstances, in any part of the habitable globe, has ever attained a high degree of civilization.  “For centuries on centuries, Africa has remained stationary, and at the very lowest stage of civilization, but one remove indeed above brutishness.”  “Back to that merely animal existence too, the Jamaica blacks are fast retrograding.”  The African is constitutionally indolent and improvident.  Work he will not, so far as he is able to avoid it, nor will he economize what falls into his hands, I do them no injustice.  I appeal to facts.  Look at the condition of the free negroes, North and South!  Look at Africa—­behold the African race the world over, and then tell me from whence come their universal poverty, ignorance and degradation.  The African possesses none of that sensitiveness—­that acuteness of sensibility—­that delicacy and refinement of taste, which characterize the white race.  There is with the African a predominance of the animal propensities, and with him, their gratification, constitutes the sum total of life and all its enjoyments.  He knows no other enjoyment, he has no higher object, or aim.  It is therefore, very clear, that abolitionists are contending for an impracticability; that the two races cannot amalgamate and become one people, and enjoy equal rights and privileges; that they cannot live together on terms of perfect equality.  The white man has the pre-eminence; it is the gift of God; and the African is doomed to servitude, until he is removed beyond the white man’s reach.  The African is not fully prepared for the enjoyment of liberty.  Hence, the universal emancipation of the race, supposing that they were colonized, would be very likely to throw them back into their original barbarism; and the idea of liberating the entire slave population of the Southern States, and letting them loose upon us, is so ridiculous, that it scarcely deserves notice.  It would be to us as a moral pestilence; a plague, far worse than all the plagues of Egypt!  Yes, far worse, than frogs and lice, and locusts, and flies, and murrain of beasts, and biles on man, and darkness all combined.  Free negroes would then deluge the great Northern cities.  It would be as tornadoes and volcanoes let loose upon us.  Our country is already deluged with as many vagrants, as she is able to jog along with.
