,what is his relation to the ,white     
race8   ,the intelligent will see at    
once1 that the question of slavery1     
either right or wrong1 is not involved  
in this caption for examination3 nor is 
that question discussed4 ,the points are
 purely ethnological and ,biblical1 and 
are to be settled alone by the ,bible   
and by concurrent history1 and by facts 
existing outside of the ,bible and of   
admitted truth4 ,we simply say in regard
 to ourself1 in this day of partisan    
strife1 religious and political1 that we
 take no part in any such party strife1 
and that it is many years since we cast 
our last vote4 ,this much1 to prevent   
evil surmises4  ,with this understood   
independence of all parties1 we begin by
 saying1 that the errors and mistakes1  
in understanding the true position of   
the negro1 as ,god intended it to be in 
his order of creation1 are all traceable
 to1 and arise out of two assumptions4  
,the learned men of the past and present
 age1 the clergy and others have assumed

 as true3  #a4 ,that the negro is a     
descendant of ,ham1 the youngest son of 
,noah4 ,this is false and untrue4  #b4  
,that the negro is a descendant of1 or  
the progeny of1 ,adam and ,eve4 ,this is
 also false and untrue4  ,these         
questions1 or rather these assumptions1 
of the learned and unlearned world1 are 
,biblical1 and are to be settled by the 
,bible alone1 whether they be true or   
false1 and by outside concurrent        
history--and of facts known to exist1   
and admitted to be true by the          
intelligent1 and as they may serve to   
elucidate any statement or account given
 in the ,bible4  ,we shall have frequent
 use of the term1 logic of facts1 and   
now explain what we mean by it4 ,it is  
this3 ,if one sees another with a gun in
 his hands1 and that he shoots a man and
 kills him1 and the bullet is found     
afterward in the dead man's body1 that  
although we did not see the bullet put  
into the gun1 yet we know by this logic 
of facts1 that it was in the gun4 ,it is

 the strongest evidence of what is true1
 of any testimony that can be offered4  
,it will be admitted by all1 and        
contradicted by none1 that we now have  
existing on earth1 two races of men1 the
 white and the black4 ,we beg here to   
remind our readers1 that when they see  
the word men1 or man1 italicised1 we do 
not use it as applying to ,adam and his 
race4 ,but we may sometimes use these   
words in the general and accepted sense 
of them1 but it is only for the purpose 
of getting before the minds of our      
readers1 the propositions of the learned
 of this age1 exactly as they would wish
 them to be stated4 ,we will now        
describe1 ethnologically1 the prominent 
characteristics and differences of these
 two races as we now find them4  ,the   
white race have long1 straight hair1    
high foreheads1 high noses1 thin lips1  
and white skins3 the olive and sunburnt 
color1 where the other characteristics  
are found1 belong equally to the white  
race4  ,the negro or black race1 are    

woolly or kinky-headed1 low foreheads1  
flat noses1 thick-lipped1 and have a    
black skin4  ,this description of the   
two races is 7though not all their      
differences71 full enough for the fair  
discussion of their respective stations 
in ,god's order of creation1 and will be
 admitted to be just and true1 as far as
 it goes1 by all candid and learned men4
 ,therefore the reader will observe1    
that when either of the terms1 white1   
black or negro1 is used1 referring to   
race1 that we refer to the one or the   
other1 as the case may be1 as is here   
set forth in describing the two races4  
,in ,god's nomenclature of the creation1
 his order stands thus3 #a4 ,birds2 #b4 
,fowls2 #c4 ,creeping things2 #d4       
,cattle2 #e4 ,beasts2 #f4 ,adam and     
,eve4 ,we shall use this1 but without   
any intended disparagement to any1 as it
 is the best and highest authority4     
,before proceeding with the examination 
of the subjects involved in the caption 
to this paper1 we will for a moment1    

notice the prevailing errors1 now       
existing in all their strength1 and held
 by the clergy1 and many learned men1 to
 be true1 which are3 #a4 ,ham's name1   
which they allege1 in ,hebrew1 means    
black2 #b4 ,the curse denounced against 
him1 that a servant of servants should  
he be unto his brethren2 and that this  
curse1 was denounced against ,ham1 for  
the accidental seeing of his father     
,noah naked--that this curse was to do  
so1 and did change him1 so that instead 
of being long1 straight-haired1 high    
forehead1 high nose1 thin lips and      
white1 as he then was1 and like his     
brothers ,shem and ,japheth1 he was from
 that day forth1 to be kinky-headed1 low
 forehead1 thick lipped and black       
skinned2 and that his name1 and this    
curse1 effected all this4 ,and truly1 to
 answer their assumptions1 it must have 
done so1 or the case would not fit the  
negro1 as we now find him4 ,and they    
adduce in proof1 that ,ham's name in    
,hebrew 7t,c,ham71 means black1 the     

present color of the negro1 and that    
therefore ,ham is the progenitor of the 
black race4 ,they seem to forget1 or    
rather1 they ignore the fact1 that the  
,bible nowhere says1 that such a curse1 
or that any curse whatever1 was         
denounced against ,ham by his father    
,noah2 but that this curse1 with        
whatever it carried with it1 was hurled 
at ,canaan1 the youngest son of ,ham4   
,but it is of little consequence1 in the
 settlement of these great questions1   
which was intended1 whether ,ham or his 
youngest son ,canaan4 ,but if it be of  
any value in supporting their theory1   
this meaning of ,ham's name in ,hebrew1 
in designating his color to be black1   
and black it must be1 to answer the     
color of the negro1 then the names of   
,shem and ,japheth should be of equal   
value1 in determining their color2 for  
each of the brothers received their     
respective names a hundred years or more
 before the flood1 and were all the     
children of the same father and same    

mother4 ,now1 if ,shem and ,japheth's   
names do not describe their color 7which
 they do not71 upon what principles of  
logical philology or grammar1 can ,ham's
 name determine his color8 ,how many of 
this day are there who are called1      
black1 white1 brown1 and olive1 all of  
whom are white1 and without the         
slightest suspicion1 that the name      
indicated the color of their respective 
owners4 ,is it not strange1 that        
intelligent and learned men1 should be  
compelled to rely on such puerilities1  
as arguments and truly supporting such  
tremendous conclusions8 ,but they say it
 was his name in conjunction with the   
curse1 that made him and his descendants
 the negro we now find on earth4 ,it is 
an axiom in logic1 that1 that which is  
not in the constituent1 can not be in   
the constituted4 ,we have seen1 that the
 making of ,ham a negro1 is not in the  
name1 which is one of the constituents1 
now let us see1 if it is in the other   
constituent1 the curse4 ,now the curse  

and name changed ,ham1 if their theory  
be true1 from a white man1 to a black   
negro4 ,if the curse1 were capable of   
effecting such results1 it is to be     
found in the word curse1 and not in the 
words1 that a servant of servants should
 he be1 as he and his descendants could1
 as readily be servants1 white as black1
 and he was already white1 and no       
necessity to make him black1 to be a    
servant4 ,if this effect on ,ham1 is to 
be found in the word curse1 it will then
 be necessary1 for the advocates of the 
assumption1 to show1 that such were its 
usual results1 whenever that word was   
used2 for unless such were its common   
effects1 when used by ,god himself1 by  
men of ,god1 by patriarchs and by       
prophets1 then we ask1 on what grounds1 
if any there be1 it is1 that they       
assert1 that it did produce this effect1
 in this instance1 by ,noah on ,ham and 
his descendants8 ,we do not question or 
doubt1 that ,canaan1 was denounced in   
the curse1 pronounced by ,noah1 that he 

should be a servant of servants2 but    
whether ,ham or ,canaan alone is meant1 
is not material to the questions at     
issue1 except in this view2 but the     
advocates of such being its effect1 must
 show1 that such1 at least was its      
effect previous to1 and after ,noah used
 it2 and if they fail in this1 that     
necessarily1 this part of their argument
 is also a total failure4 ,let us look  
into the ,bible4 ,god cursed our first  
parents4 ,did this curse kink their     
hair1 flatten their skulls1 blacken     
their skin and flatten their nose8 ,if  
it did1 then ,noah was sadly mistaken   
and these gentlemen too1 in supposing   
that it was ,noah's curse1 that         
accomplished all this1 for it was       
already done for the whole race--and    
long before1 by ,god himself4 ,god      
cursed the serpent4 ,did the curse      
produce this effect on him8 ,he cursed  
,cain--did it affect his skin1 his hair1
 his forehead1 his nose or his lips8    
,these curses were all pronounced by    

,god himself and produced no such       
effects4 ,but we proceed and take up the
 holy men of ,god1 the patriarchs and   
prophets1 and see what their curses     
produced4 ,did the curse of ,jacob1     
produce this effect on ,simeon and      
,levi8 did it produce this effect on the
 man who would make a graven image8 did 
it produce this effect on the man who   
would rebuild ,jericho8 did it produce  
this effect on those1 who maketh the    
blind to wander out of the way8 did it  
produce this effect on those1 who       
perverteth the judgment of the stranger1
 the fatherless and the widow8 ,cum     
multis aliis4 ,it did not4 ,but if it   
did produce this effect in these cases1 
then when we read1 that ,christ died to 
redeem us from the curse1 are we to     
understand1 that he died to redeem us   
from a kinky head1 flat nose1 thick lips
 and a black skin8 ,but such curses1    
never having produced such effects1 when
 pronounced by ,god1 by patriarch1 by   
prophet1 or by any holy man of ,god     

before or since1 then we inquire to     
know1 on what principles of             
interpretation1 grammar or logic it is1 
that it can so mean in this case of     
,noah8 ,there are no words in the curse1
 that express1 or even imply such       
effects4 ,then in the absence of all    
such effects1 following such curses1 and
 as they are narrated in the ,bible1    
whether pronounced by ,god or man2 and  
there being nothing in the language     
beside to sustain it1 and if true1      
,ham's posterity must be shown now1 as  
its truthful witnesses1 from this1 our  
day1 back to the flood or to ,ham2 and  
which can not be done--and if this can  
not be done1 then all arguments and     
assertions1 based on such assumptions1  
that ,ham was the father of the negro or
 black race1 are false2 and if false1   
then the negro is in no sense1 the      
descendant of ,ham2 and therefore1 he   
must have been in the ark1 and as he was
 not one of ,noah's family1 that he must
 have entered it in some capacity1 or   

relation to the other beasts or cattle4 
,for that he did enter the ark is plain 
from the fact1 that he is now here1 and 
not of the family or progeny of ,ham4   
,and no one has ever suspicioned either 
,shem or ,japheth of being the father of
 the negro2 therefore he must have come 
out of the ark1 and he could not come   
out1 unless he had previously entered   
it2 and if he entered it1 that he must  
have existed before the flood1 and that1
 too1 just such negro as we have now1   
and consequently not as a descendant of 
,adam and ,eve2 and if not the progeny  
of ,adam and ,eve1 that he is inevitably
 a beast1 and as such1 entered the ark1 
though having the form of man1 and man  
he is1 being so named by ,adam4 ,such is
 the logic1 and such are the conclusions
 to which their premises lead1 if       
legitimately carried out2 and by which  
it is plainly seen1 that the position   
assumed by the learned of the present   
and past ages--that the present negroes 
are the descendants of ,ham1 and were   

made so by his name1 or by the curse of 
his father--is false in fact1 and but an
 unwarranted assumption at best4 ,but   
while this conclusion is inevitable1 it 
also reveals to us another sad fact1    
that the good men of our own race 7the  
white71 though learned and              
philanthropic1 exhibit a weakness1 alas6
 too common in this our day1 that       
anything they wish to believe or think  
will be popular1 that it is very easy to
 convert the greatest improbabilities   
into the best grounds of their faith4   
,the word used by ,god1 used by         
patriarch and by prophet1 is the same   
word used by ,noah4 ,if the word thus   
used by ,god1 and by holy men1 did not  
produce the effect as is charged by     
these men1 how can the same word1 when  
used by ,noah1 do it8 ,and yet1 on these
 assumptions1 the faith of more than    
half the world seems to be now based4   
,to expose these cobweb fabrics1 called 
by some reason1 on this subject1 and    
,christian philanthropy by others1 in   

which are involved1 such tremendous     
conclusions1 for weal or for wo1 of so  
large a portion of the biped creation1  
that we feel like apologizing to our    
readers1 for answering such learned     
ignorance1 blindness or weakness4 ,but  
the meaning of ,ham's name in ,hebrew is
 not primarily black4 ,its primary      
meaning is3 #a4 ,sunburnt2 #b4 swarthy2 
#c4 dark2 #d4 black--and its most       
unusual meaning4  ,having now disposed  
of these fancies1 for they are nothing  
better1 of the effects of ,ham's name1  
and ,noah's curse1 in making him a      
negro2 and having examined them1 for the
 purpose of allowing on what flimsy     
grounds this mightiest of structures of 
air-built theories rests1 and for this  
purpose only1 as what we have said about
 them is not connected with1 nor germain
 to the way we intend to pursue1 in     
investigating the questions forming the 
caption to this paper4 ,but having now  
disposed of them1 we take up our own    
subject4 ,the reader will bear in mind  

the description we have given           
respectively of the white and black     
races4  ,the first question to which we 
now invite attention is3 ,do the        
characteristics which we have given of  
the white race1 belong equally1 to all  
three of the sons of ,noah--,shem1 ,ham 
and ,japheth1 and their descendants8 ,if
 they do1 then the black race1 belong   
to1 and have since the flood at least1  
belonged to another and totally         
different race of men4  ,now to our     
question3 ,do the characteristics1 which
 we have given of the white race1 belong
 equally to the three sons of ,noah and 
their descendants alike8 ,we will begin 
with ,noah himself first4 ,the ,bible   
says of ,noah1 that he was perfect in   
his generation4 ,we will not stop to    
criticise the ,hebrew translated        
generation1 for any ,english scholar on 
reading the verse in which it occurs1   
will see at once1 that to make sense1 it
 should have been genealogy4 ,then ,noah
 was perfect in his genealogy--he was a 

preacher of righteousness--he was the   
husband of one wife1 who was also       
perfect in her genealogy2 by this one   
wife1 he had three sons1 all born about 
one hundred years before the flood1 and 
all three of them married1 before the   
flood1 to women who were perfect also in
 their genealogies4 ,ordinarily         
speaking1 this little statement of      
facts1 undenied by all1 and undeniable1 
would settle at least this question1    
that whatever the color of one might be1
 the others would be the same color--if 
one were black1 all would be black--if  
one were white1 all would be white4 ,out
 of this arises the question1 what was  
the color of these three brothers--were 
they and their descendants black or     
white8  ,we will begin with ,shem1 so as
 to find his race now on earth1 to see  
if they are white or black4 ,the ,bible 
tells us where he went1 and where his   
descendants settled1 and what countries 
they occupied1 until the days of our    
,saviour1 who was of ,shem's lineage    

after the flesh4 ,from the days of the  
,saviour down to the present day1 we see
 the ,jews1 the descendants of ,shem1 in
 every country1 and see they belong to  
the white race1 which none will pretend 
to deny--that they were so before1 and  
after the flood1 and have continued to  
be so to the present time1 is           
unquestionably true4 ,we know then1 on  
,biblical authority1 with mathematical  
certainty1 that they are not negroes1   
either before1 at1 nor since the flood1 
but white4  ,we next take up ,japheth4  
,we know where he went1 and what        
countries his descendants peopled1 with 
equal certainty and on equal            
authority--and all outside concurrent   
history1 equally clearly prove1 that    
,japheth's descendants peopled ,europe1 
whence they have spread over all the    
world4 ,that they too belong to the     
white race1 is also unquestioned1 nor   
doubted by any that have eyes to see4   
,that they were so before1 and at the   
flood1 and not negroes then1 nor since1 

is equally undoubted and indisputable4  
,we have not taken the trouble of       
showing step by step1 where those two   
brothers went1 and what countries they  
peopled seriatim1 because they are      
admitted by all1 learned and unlearned1 
to be and to have done just what is here
 stated in spreading over the world4 ,it
 was1 therefore1 unnecessary to incumber
 this paper1 by proving that which none 
disputes4 ,this being so1 then two of   
the three brothers1 are known certainly1
 to be of the white race1 and not of the
 negro1 either before or after the      
flood4  ,we now take up the youngest    
brother1 ,ham4 ,the evidence            
establishing the fact1 that he too1 and 
his descendants belong to the white     
race1 with long1 straight hair1 high    
forehead1 high noses and thin lips1 is  
if possible still stronger1 than that of
 either of his brothers2 if indeed      
anything can1 in human conception1 be   
stronger than that1 which is of perfect 
strength1 and if this is true1 then ,ham

 can not be the father of the negro4 ,as
 in the cases of the other two brothers1
 the ,bible tells us where ,ham1 and his
 descendants went1 and what countries   
they peopled1 and where his race may be 
found at this day2 and which likewise1  
all contemporaneous history abundantly  
testifies1 and shows that they are of   
the white race1 and were so before the  
flood1 and from the flood continued so1 
and yet continue so to the present time2
 and that not one of them1 is of the    
negro race of this day4 ,we will1 in    
establishing the truths of the above    
declarations1 take up two of ,ham's sons
 and trace them and their descendants1  
from the flood to the present time1 and 
show what they were1 and what they are  
down to this day4 ,these two sons of    
,ham1 whose posterity we propose to     
trace1 and show that they now belong to 
the white race1 are ,mizraim and        
,canaan1 the second and the youngest of 
his sons4 ,the families of all of the   
sons can be traced from the flood to the

 present day1 but we presume two are    
sufficient1 and that they be white2 and 
we have selected ,canaan intentionally  
and for a purpose that will be seen     
hereafter4 ,canaan was denounced by     
,noah1 that he should be a servant of   
servants to his brethren1 and if it     
turns out1 in this investigation1 as we 
know it will1 that they belong to the   
white race1 it will satisfactorily      
settle this question1 that the curse of 
,noah did not make him and his          
descendants the black negro we now find 
on earth1 much less ,ham1 who was not so
 cursed4 ,the ,bible plainly tells us1  
that the country now called ,egypt1 was 
settled by ,mizraim1 the second son of  
,ham1 and was peopled by his            
descendants2 that ,mizraim1 the second  
son of ,ham1 and grandson of ,noah1 gave
 his name to the country2 that they     
called it the land of ,mizraim1 and by  
which name it is still known1 to the    
present day1 by the descendants of its  
ancient inhabitants2 that they built    

many magnificent cities on the          
,nile--among them1 the city of ,thebes1 
one of the largest and most magnificent 
in its architecture1 and the grandeur of
 its monuments and temples1 the world   
ever saw4 ,its ruins at the present day1
 are of surpassing magnificence and     
grandeur4 ,the city was named ,thebes1  
to commemorate the ,ark1 that saved     
,noah1 the grandfather of ,mizraim1 from
 the flood2 the name of the ,ark in     
,hebrew1 being ,theba4 ,then we take it 
for granted1 all will admit1 that what  
is now called ,egypt1 was settled by    
,mizraim1 the son of ,ham1 and grandson 
of ,noah4 ,the ,bible1 and outside      
concurrent history1 abundantly prove    
that he and his descendants1 held1      
occupied and ruled over ,egypt1 and     
continued in the possession and the     
occupancy of the country as such1 until 
long after the ,exodus of the ,hebrews1 
under ,moses and ,aaron2 that ,ham's    
descendants1 through ,canaan1 in the    
persons of his sons ,sidon and ,heth1   

settled ,sidon1 ,tyre and ,carthage4    
,this will not be denied by any         
intelligent ,biblical student or        
historian4 ,sidon itself was named after
 ,canaan's oldest son4  ,from ,egypt in 
,africa1 ,mizraim's descendants passed  
over to ,asia1 and settled ,india1      
whence they spread over that continent2 
that great commerce sprung up between   
,india1 etc41 and ,egypt and connecting 
countries1 which was carried on by      
caravans2 that ,greece and ,rome        
subsequently1 shared largely in this    
commerce1 especially after the march of 
,alexander the ,great to ,india1 by the 
caravan route1 three hundred and        
thirty-two years before our ,saviour's  
birth4 ,this commerce has continued to  
our day4 ,all these facts are           
undeniable1 and will be denied by none  
acquainted with the ,bible and past     
history4 ,these descendants1 of this    
maligned ,ham1 were at1 and after the   
flood1 and continue to be1 to this day1 
of the white race1 all having long1     

straight hair1 high foreheads1 high     
noses and thin lips2 that they are so1  
and as much so as the descendants of the
 other two brothers1 and possessing all 
of the same general                     
lineaments--lineaments that so long as  
the race shall exist1 will be an eternal
 protest against their being of the     
negro race that we now have4 ,but as we 
intend to show conclusively that ,ham   
and his descendants were and are white1 
long1 straight hair1 etc41 from ,noah to
 the present time1 so plainly and so    
positively that no fair or candid man   
can have the least doubt of its truth1  
we proceed to state3 ,that we will now  
give the names of the country1 now      
called ,egypt1 beginning with its first 
settlement by ,mizraim1 in regular order
 down1 to enable the ,biblical and      
historical student to refer readily to  
the histories of the different epochs1  
to detect any error1 if we should make  
one1 in tracing ,ham's descendants1 down
 to the present day4 ,in ,hebrew it is  

called ,mizraim1 in ,coptic and ,arabic 
7the former being now the name of its   
ancient or first inhabitants71 it is    
called ,misr or ,mezr1 being spelled in 
both these ways by the ,arabian and     
,coptic writers4 ,in ,syro-,chaldaic and
 ,hellenic ,greek it is called          
,aiguptos--and in ,latin1 gyptus4 ,in   
many of the ancient ,egyptian and       
,coptic writings it is called ,chimi1   
that is1 the land of ,ham1 and is so    
called in the ,bible1 see ,psalms cv1   
#bc2 cvi1 #bb1 and other places4 ,the   
ancient inhabitants now in ,egypt1 the  
,copts1 are called the posterity of     
,pharaoh1 by the ,turks of the present  
day4 ,the ancient ,hyksos1 or shepherd  
kings 7patriarchs7 of the ,hebrews1 are 
sometimes confounded in ancient history1
 with the descendants of ,ham1 being of 
the same original stock4 ,egypt has not 
had a ruler of its own since the battle 
of ,actium1 fought by ,augustus ,caesar1
 thirty years before our ,saviour1 as   
,god by his prophet had foretold that   

their own kings would cease forever to  
reign over that country4 ,after the     
battle of ,actium1 it became a ,roman   
province1 and since that time1 it has   
been under foreign rule4 ,it now is1 and
 has been governed by the ,turks since  
#aeag4  ,it appears 7see ,asiatic       
,miscel41 p4 #adh1 #dto71 that ,mizraim1
 the son of ,ham1 and his sons          
7descendants71 after settling ,egypt1 a 
portion went to ,asia1 which was settled
 by them1 and that they gave their names
 to the different parts of the country  
where they settled1 and which they      
retain yet4 ,the names of these sons of 
,mizraim as given in history are as     
follows3 ,hind1 ,sind1 ,zeng1 ,nuba1    
,kanaan1 ,kush1 ,kopt1 ,berber and      
,hebesh1 or ,abash4 ,from these children
 of ,ham1 we not only readily trace the 
present names of the countries1 but that
 of the people also to this day2 that   
they founded the nations of the ,indus1 
,hindoos1 ,nubians1 ,koptos1 ,zanzebar1 
,barbary1 ,abysinia1 the present ,turks1

 is unquestioned and undoubted1 by any  
intelligent scholar4 ,that they are the 
white race1 with long1 straight hair1   
etc41 is equally unquestionable1 and are
 so this day1 and as positively as that 
,shem and ,japheth's descendants are now
 white4 ,they first commenced to settle 
on the ,nile in ,africa1 they then      
passed into ,asia2 and these two        
continents were principally settled by  
them4 ,a portion of ,europe 7,turkey7 is
 occupied by them--these1 too1 have     
long1 straight hair1 etc4  ,a portion of
 ,ham's descendants1 through ,canaan's  
sons1 ,sidon and ,heth1 settled ,sidon1 
,tyre1 and later1 ,carthage4 ,tyre      
became a great power1 and a city of much
 wealth and commerce1 as we learn by the
 ,bible and other history4 ,tyre was    
eventually overthrown1 and her ,queen   
and people fled4 ,they subsequently     
built the great city of ,carthage1 near 
to where ,tunis1 in ,africa1 is now     
situated4 ,they were again overthrown   
and their city destroyed by ,scipio     

,africanus ,secundus1 after the battle  
of ,zama4 ,but1 during one of the       
sieges1 the city being invested by the  
,romans1 the people became hard pressed 
for provisions1 to supply which1 they   
resolved on building some ships1 to run 
the blockade for provisions4 ,but after 
their ships were built1 they had no     
ropes to rig them1 nor anything within  
the city to make them4 ,in this dilemma1
 the ladies1 the women of ,carthage1 to 
their eternal honor be it spoken1       
patriotically stepped forward1 and      
tendered their hair1 their long and     
beautiful tresses1 to make the much     
needed ropes1 which was accepted1 and a 
supply of provisions obtained4 ,now how 
many1 and what sort of ropes would the  
kinky-headed negro have furnished1 had  
the inhabitants been negroes8 ,this     
noble act of the women of ,carthage1 is 
mentioned to their honor1 by            
,babylonian1 ,persian1 ,egyptian1       
,grecian1 ,roman and ,carthagenian      
writers and historians2 and yet1 we have

 seen it stated1 and stated by learned  
modern writers1 and who ought to have   
known better1 that ,hannibal1 ,hamilcar1
 ,asdrubal1 etc41 the great             
,carthagenian ,generals1 were           
kinky-headed negroes--that ,carthage    
itself1 was a negro city4 ,why1 the     
annals of fame do not present such an   
array of great names1 whether in arts   
and sciences1 and all that serves to    
elevate and make man noble on earth1 or 
in the senate1 or the field1 by any     
other race of people1 as will compare   
with those of ,ham's descendants4 ,these
 ,carthagenians were all long and       
straight haired people4 ,after the fall 
of ,carthage1 in the last ,punic ,war1  
many of its people passed over          
subsequently into ,spain1 which they    
held and occupied for centuries1 and are
 known in history as ,saracens4 ,a part 
of ,spain1 they held and occupied1 until
 the reign of ,ferdinand and ,isabella1 
when they were expelled4 ,these1 too1   
had long and straight hair1 etc4 ,but to

 return to that portion of ,ham's       
descendants through ,mizraim4 ,these    
settled ,egypt1 ,india1 ,china1 and most
 all of ,oriental ,asia1 where they have
 continued to live1 and where they yet  
live1 and not one of them is a negro4   
,they all have long1 straight hair1     
etc41 peculiar only to the white race4  
,not one negro belongs to their race4   
,that this is their history1 none will  
deny4  ,ham1 the maligned and slandered 
,ham--,ham who is falsely charged as    
being the father of the negro--,ham1 the
 son of the white man ,noah--this ,ham1 
and his descendants1 the long and       
straight haired race1 it appears from   
history--from unquestioned              
history--governed and ruled the world   
from the earliest ages after the flood  
and for many centuries--and gave to it1 
all the arts and sciences1 manufactures 
and commerce1 geometry1 astronomy1      
geography1 architecture1 letters1       
painting1 music1 etc41 etc4--and that   
they thus governed the world1 as it     

were1 from the flood1 until they came in
 contact with the ,roman people1 and    
then their power was broken in a contest
 for the mastery of the world1 at       
,carthage1 one hundred and forty-seven  
years before ,a4,d41 and ,carthage      
fell--but fell1 not for lack of talents 
in her people1 not for lack of orators1 
statesmen and generals of the most      
consummate abilities1 but because ,god  
had long before determined1 that the    
,japhethic race should govern the world2
 and the ,roman people were ,japheth's  
children4 ,when ,hannibal1 the most     
consummate general the world ever saw to
 his day1 fought the battle of ,zama1 he
 met a fate similar to that which befel 
another equally consummate commander at 
a later day1 on the field of            
,waterloo--both became exiles4 ,that    
,ham's talents1 abilities1 genius1      
power1 grandeur1 glory1 should now be   
attempted to be stolen1 and to be       
stolen1 not by the negro1 for he has    
neither genius or capacity for such a   

theft1 but stolen by the learned men of 
this and the past ages1 and thrust upon 
the negro1 who has not capacity to      
understand1 when1 where1 or how1 he had 
ever performed such feats of            
legislation1 statesmanship1 government1 
arts of war and in science4 ,the negro  
has been upon the earth1 coeval with the
 white race4 ,we defy any historian1 any
 learned man1 to put his finger on the  
history1 the page1 or even paragraph of 
history1 showing he has ever done one of
 these things1 thus done by the children
 of ,ham2 or that he has shown1 in this 
long range of time1 a capacity for      
self-government1 such as ,ham1 ,shem and
 ,japheth4 ,if he has done anything on  
earth1 in any age of the world1 since he
 has been here1 as has been done by the 
three sons of ,noah1 in arts and        
sciences1 government1 etc41 it surely   
can be shown2 and shown equally as clear
 and unequivocally1 when and where he   
did it1 as that of ,shem1 ,ham and      
,japheth can4 ,but such a showing can   

never be made2 that page of history has 
never yet been written that records it4 
,on these subjects1 his history is as   
blank as that of the horse or the       
beaver4 ,but we are not yet done with   
,ham's descendants4 ,the great          
,turko-,tartar generals1 ,timour1       
,ghenghis ,kahn and ,tamerlane1 the     
latter called in history1 the scourge of
 ,god--the ,saracenic general1 the      
gallant1 the daring1 the chivalrous1 the
 noble ,saladin1 he who led the ,paynim 
forces of ,mahomet1 against the         
lion-hearted ,richard1 in the war of the
 ,crusades1 all1 all these were children
 of ,ham4 ,mahomet himself1 the founder 
of an empire1 and the head of a new     
religion1 made his kingdom of ,ham's    
descendants1 as all ,turks are3 and     
these all--have straight1 long hair1    
etc4 ,those who have read the various   
histories of the crusades of the        
eleventh and twelfth centuries1 know    
that the ,turkish forces then1 had long1
 straight hair1 etc41 and that it is so 

yet with their descendants none         
doubt--and these were children of ,ham4 
,it will be seen now1 how we have taken 
up one of ,ham's sons2 that we have     
traced him and his descendants from the 
flood to ,egypt1 where they are still2  
that we have traced them across the     
continent of ,africa into ,asia1        
settling countries as they went2 and to 
the countries still bearing their names1
 where they settled1 and where they are 
yet2 that we have taken up another son1 
and traced him and his descendants to   
,sidon1 ,tyre1 ,carthage1 and ,spain1   
and shown that they1 too1 without       
exception1 were long1 straight haired1  
high foreheads1 high noses1 thin lips1  
and belong to the white race4 ,not a    
kinky-headed negro among them4 ,we have 
shown that ,ham's descendants have led  
and governed the world1 for twenty-three
 centuries after the flood to the battle
 of ,actium2 that they gave it1 also1   
the arts and sciences1 manufactures and 
commerce1 etc41 etc4 ,there is one      

discovery1 one dye1 as old as ,tyre     
itself1 and yet eminently noted--the    
,tyrian ,purple--consecrated exclusively
 to imperial use4 ,imperial purple is   
the synonym of a king1 in ancient and   
modern history2 that we have found these
 children of the slandered ,ham1 and    
have traced them step by step1 as it    
were1 from country to country1 from the 
days of the flood down to the present   
day2 that wherever we found them1 and   
whenever found1 in any day1 of any      
century from ,noah down to this day1 we 
have found them white1 and of the white 
race only4 ,and we now challenge the    
production of a single history1 or a    
single paragraph of history1 showing one
 nation--one single nation or           
kingdom--of kinky-headed1 flat-nosed1   
thick-lipped and black-skinned negroes1 
that made such discoveries in arts and  
sciences1 built such cities1 had such   
rulers1 kings1 and legislators1 such    
generals1 such commerce1 and such       
manufactures1 as ,mizraim's people on   

the ,nile1 or as ,ham's children in     
,tyre1 in ,carthage1 in ,spain1 show    
that they had--we defy its production4  
,but we are not yet done with our proofs
 about ,ham and his descendants being   
white4  ,it seems as if ,god1 foreseeing
 the slander that would1 in after ages1 
be put1 or attempted to be put1 on his  
son ,ham1 by ignorant or designing men  
attempting to show that he was the      
progenitor of the negro race1 directed  
,mizraim1 the second son of ,ham1 by an 
interposition of his power and          
providence1 or by direct inspiration1 to
 put away his dead1 by a process of     
embalming1 the details of which1 for the
 accomplishment of the object1 can be   
regarded as little1 if anything1 short  
of being miraculous2 and by which1 we   
can now look into the faces of the      
children of ,mizraim1 male and female1  
even at this day1 in succeeding         
generations1 and from the flood2 and    
which can not be done with the children 
of ,shem and ,japheth1 about whose      

identity with the white race no         
controversy has ever existed4 ,it was   
this fact that caused us to say1 that   
the testimony establishing ,ham's       
identity1 as belonging to the white     
race1 was stronger1 if possible1 than   
that of either of his brothers4 ,god    
foreseeing1 as we have said1 this       
atrocious slander1 that would be put on 
,ham and his posterity1 so directed     
,mizraim1 and at once inspired his mind1
 that from the first1 he appeared to be 
fully acquainted with all the necessary 
ingredients1 and how to use them1 and in
 what proportions1 and how many days    
were to be consumed to perfect the      
corpse1 that it would be incorruptible1 
and thereby become and be forever a     
testimony of ,god for ,ham1 that should 
speak to the eyes and senses of all men1
 in after ages1 and proclaiming as they 
do1 to this day1 and from the very time 
of the flood1 and through each          
successive generation from the flood1   
that their ancestor1 ,ham1 and they1 his

 descendants1 were like the children of 
the other brothers1 their equal1 in all 
the lineaments that stamp the race of   
,adam with the image and likeness of the
 ,almighty1 and belonging to the white  
race4 ,that these mummied witnesses of  
,ham1 his dead children1 speaking from  
the tombs of ages for their father1 and 
proclaiming from the days of the flood  
as they do1 by each succeeding          
generation of his buried ones1 down to  
the present day1 and protesting by their
 long1 straight hair1 by their high     
foreheads1 by their high noses1 and by  
their thin lips1 now hushed in silence  
forever1 that the slander1 that their   
father was the progenitor of the negro1 
was a slander most foul--a slander most 
infamous4 ,well might their indignant   
bodies be so aroused--well might ,ham's 
children1 who have been slumbering for  
centuries1 be so electrified by these   
foul aspersions1 as to burst their      
sarcophagii1 and tear the cerements of  
the grave1 and this foul calumny1 from  

their faces at one and the same time and
 forever4 ,it looks as if ,god intended1
 by this overruling or inspiring of     
,mizraim1 so to embalm his dead1 to     
teach us a lesson1 that there was an    
importance1 in being of the white race1 
to be attached to it1 of grander        
proportions1 and of nobler value1 than  
any earthly1 filial or paternal         
affections that could be symbolized by  
it4 ,millions of these mummied bodies   
have been exhumed this century1 but not 
one negro has been found among them4    
,what does this teach8 ,what value do   
you place on this testimony prepared and
 ordained by ,god himself1 as his       
testimony to the worth of the white     
race8 ,the writer of this has seen many 
of these mummies1 but never a negro4 ,he
 has assisted in unrolling some1 and all
 had straight1 long hair4 ,it was his   
fortune1 as it happened1 to assist in   
unrolling the body of one possessing    
peculiar interest4 ,from the            
hieroglyphic inscription on the         

sarcophagus1 it proved to be the body of
 a young lady1 who died in her          
seventeenth year1 that she was the      
daughter of the ,high ,priest of ,on    
7the temple of ,on was situated six     
miles northeast from the present        
,cairo71 and that she was an attendant  
of the princesses of the court of ,king 
,thothmes #c;d4 ,this king is recognized
 and believed to be that ,pharaoh under 
whom ,moses and ,aaron brought out the  
children of ,israel from ,egypt4 ,this  
mummy we assisted in unrolling4 ,the    
inner wrapping next to the skin was of  
what we now call fine linen cambric4    
,when this was removed1 the hair on the 
head looked as though it had but        
recently been done up4 ,it was in       
hundreds of very small plaits1          
three-ply1 and each from a yard to a    
yard and a quarter long2 and although   
she had then been buried #c1cch years1  
her hair had the apparent freshness as  
if she had been dead only a few days or 
weeks4 ,the face1 ears1 neck and bosom  

were guilded2 and so were her hands to  
above the wrists1 and her feet to above 
the ankles4 ,such had been the perfect  
manner of her embalmment1 that the flesh
 retained its roundness and fullness    
remarkably1 with fine teeth1 beautiful  
mouth1 and every mark by which we could1
 at this day1 recognize her as a        
beautiful lady of the white race4       
,without disparagement to our fair      
country-women1 we can say1 that a more  
beautiful hand1 foot and ankle1 we never
 beheld4  ,now1 what have we proven by  
this recitement of ,bible history--of   
that of contemporaneous and concurrent  
history outside of the ,bible--of facts1
 facts now existing in the mummied      
remains of ,ham's descendants1          
commencing with ,mizraim and coming down
 through centuries since the flood--of  
the yet living nations1 comprised       
unquestionably of his descendants1 and  
who1 like the descendants of ,shem and  
,japheth1 have the distinctive marks of 
the white race alone1 and as clear as   

either ,shem or ,japheth1 and that1 too1
 as they exist now on earth1 and running
 back as such from this our day to      
,noah2 and as distinct from the negro   
race as that race is now distinct from  
the children of ,japheth8 ,of that      
miraculous intervention of divine power1
 in causing ,mizraim so to embalm his   
children1 that they should speak from   
the grave1 in attestation of their being
 of the white1 and not of the negro1    
race4 ,why did ,god require that only   
the children of ,ham should be embalmed1
 of all then on earth8 ,no other nation1
 as such1 then or since1 embalmed their 
dead4 ,why was it1 that the children of 
,ham alone did this8 ,except but for the
 reason that ,god1 foreseeing the       
disputes to arise about the negro1 and  
that ,ham would be slandered and held to
 be the progenitor of the negro2 that1  
therefore1 in vindication of him1 as    
belonging to the white race1 and as an  
immortal being1 and not of the beasts   
that perish1 ,god caused these          

descendants of ,ham to embalm their     
dead1 and to continue doing so for many 
centuries4 ,no other valid reason can be
 assigned1 why these people of ,mizraim1
 alone of all the nations of the earth1 
did so4 ,there may have been1 and       
doubtless there were1 many reasons with 
the people1 of a private and personal   
character1 inciting them to do so2 but  
this was ,god's reason1 and he chose    
these personal considerations of the    
people1 as his means of accomplishing   
it4  ,we have shown conclusively3 #a4   
,that ,ham's descendants now on earth1  
in ,egypt1 in ,india1 all over ,asia1 a 
portion of ,africa and ,europe          
respectively1 have1 this day1 long1     
straight hair1 high foreheads1 high     
noses and thin lips--that they have ever
 been so2 this1 all history in the      
,bible1 and all history outside of the  
,bible1 fully attest4 #b4 ,while1 on the
 other hand1 all history tells us 7when 
it says anything about them71 that the  
negro race is kinky-headed1 low         

forehead1 flat nose1 thick lip and black
 skin2 that he has always been so1 and  
the negro of this day attests that he is
 so yet2 and that1 consequently1 he is  
in no way related to ,ham1 even by a    
curse1 for he is black1 and ,ham is     
white4 #c4 ,that the descendants of     
,shem and ,japheth are white1 and have  
always been white1 none dispute4 #d4    
,that1 having established1 then1 that   
,shem1 ,ham and ,japheth were perfect in
 their genealogies from ,adam and ,eve2 
that they were the children of one      
father and one mother2 that they were   
born about a hundred years before the   
flood2 that their wives1 like           
themselves1 were perfect in their       
genealogies2 that these brothers and    
their descendants1 as regards their     
genealogy1 were the perfect equals of   
each other2 that the curse of ,noah1    
even if directed against ,ham1 and which
 it is not1 that it is impossible that  
that curse could1 in any way1 make him  
the father or progenitor of the present 

negroes--as no curse denounced by ,god  
himself1 by patriarch or by prophet1 had
 ever done so before or since1 and there
 is nothing in the language used by     
,noah that covers that idea2 that1 on   
the contrary1 the exact word used by    
,noah1 had been before used by ,god and 
by patriarchs1 without the slightest    
suspicion being excited that such was   
its effect on the person so cursed2 that
 it was not found in ,ham's name1 and   
that the effort to connect the color of 
the negro with the meaning of ,ham's    
name in ,hebrew1 is a mere fancy1 not of
 the strength even of a cobweb4 ,now1   
reader1 are these things true8 ,look    
into your ,bible--look into             
contemporaneous and concurrent          
history--look at existing facts outside 
of the ,bible1 and running from the     
flood down to the present day1 and hear 
the prophet of ,god defiantly ask1 ,can 
the ,ethiopian change his skin1 or the  
leopard his spots8--both beasts2 and    
when you have so looked1 you will say1  

true1 every word1 indubitably true6     
,then1 what8 ,one word more1 before we  
proceed further4 ,the embalming of      
,ham's dead and the ,jewish genealogical
 tables ceased at about the same time1  
and by ,god's interposing power4 ,each  
were permitted by ,god to continue as   
national records--the one to show the   
genealogy of ,jesus of ,nazareth to be  
the ,messiah1 the other to show that    
,ham was white1 and not the progenitor  
of the negro2 and each having           
accomplished the end designed1 ,god     
permitted them to cease1 and both ceased
 about the same time4 ,is not this      
embalming1 then1 in effect1 the direct  
testimony of ,god himself1 that ,ham and
 his children were of the white race1   
and that there is an importance in being
 of the white race1 and which we will   
see by and by1 and beyond any           
appreciation ever given to it           
heretofore8 ,and is it not equally      
,god's testimony1 ipso facto1 that the  
negro race have always existed as we    

have it now1 and as have those of the   
three brothers equally always existed1  
and as we have them now8  ,but1 reader1 
suppose we admit1 for the sake of the   
argument1 that ,ham was black1 and that 
he was made so by the curse of his      
father ,noah--we say1 suppose we were to
 admit this1 then what follows8 ,ham    
would have been just such a negro as we 
now find on earth--admitted2 but then he
 would have been the only negro on      
earth4 ,where was his negro wife to be  
had8 ,he could not propagate the negro  
race1 by a cross with the white woman2  
for that would have produced a mulatto1 
and not the negro1 such as we now have4 
,to propagate the negro that we now have
 on earth1 the man and the woman must   
both be negroes4 ,now1 where did ,ham's 
negro wife come from8 ,she did not come 
out of the ark8 ,she was not on earth8  
,do we not see clearly from this        
statement of facts1 that the assumption 
of the learned world1 even admitting it1
 destroys itself the moment that we     

bring it to the test of facts4 ,under no
 view of their assumptions can the negro
 we now have on earth be accounted for4 
,these things being so1 now what8 ,we   
proceed with our subject4 ,it being     
shown to be incontestibly true1 that the
 three brothers1 ,shem1 ,ham and        
,japheth1 when they came out of the ark1
 were each of the white race1 and that  
they have continued so to the present   
day in their posterity--this is         
incontestible1 and being true1 it       
settles the question1 that ,ham is not  
the progenitor of the negro1 and we must
 now look to some other quarter for the 
negro's origin4 ,as the negro is not the
 progeny of ,ham1 as has been           
demonstrated1 and knowing that he is of 
neither family of ,shem or ,japheth1 who
 are white1 straight haired1 etc41 and  
the negro we have now on earth1 is      
kinky-headed and black1 by this logic of
 facts we know1 that he came out of the 
ark1 and is a totally different race of 
men from the three brothers4 ,how did he

 get in there1 and in what station or   
capacity8 ,we answer1 that he went into 
the ark by command of ,god2 and as he   
was neither ,noah1 nor one of his sons1 
all of whom were white1 then1 by the    
logic of facts1 he could only enter it  
as a beast1 and along with the beasts4  
,this logic of facts will not allow this
 position to be questioned4 ,but we will
 state it in another way equally true1  
from which the same result must         
necessarily follow1 that the negro      
entered the ark only as a beast4 ,all   
candid or uncandid men will admit that  
the negro of the present day1 have kinky
 heads1 flat nose1 thick lip and black  
skin1 and which we have shown is not    
true of either ,shem1 ,ham or ,japheth's
 progeny of this day1 and consequently  
it is impossible that either of them    
could be1 or could have been1 the       
progenitor of the negro1 at or since the
 flood1 for each race exists now1 the   
one white and the other black2 and then1
 as it is impossible to believe that the

 negro was created at or since the      
flood1 therefore1 he must have been in  
the ark4 ,this being so1 now let us see 
what ,god said to ,noah in proof of this
 position4 ,he told ,noah that he       
intended to destroy the world by a      
flood1 but that he intended to save him 
and his wife1 and his three sons and    
their wives4 ,these were all ,god       
intended to save1 for they had souls and
 beasts have not4 ,god told him he must 
prepare an ark1 into which besides his  
family1 he must also take of every beast
 after his kind1 and all cattle after   
their kind1 and of every creeping thing 
that creepeth on the earth1 and every   
fowl after his kind1 and every bird     
after his sort1 and food for their      
support4 ,thus did ,noah1 and thus by   
,god's command he entered the ,ark with 
his family4 ,god promised ,noah to save 
him and his family--but ,god did not    
promise to save the beasts1 etc41       
although he preserved them in the ark2  
but1 besides this preservation1 ,noah   

and his family were to be saved--why1 we
 will see presently4 ,then1 ,ham1 not   
being the father of the negro1 the negro
 must have come out of the ark with the 
beasts1 and as one1 for he was not one  
of ,noah's family that entered it4 ,this
 is inevitable1 and can not be shaken by
 all the reasonings of men on earth to  
the contrary4 ,now1 unless it can be    
shown that1 from ,noah back to ,adam and
 ,eve1 that in some way this            
kinky-headed and black-skinned negro is 
the progeny of ,adam and ,eve1 and which
 we know can not be done1 then again it 
follows1 indubitably1 that the negro is 
not a human being--not being of ,adam's 
race4 ,this point we will now examine   
and settle1 and then account for the    
negro being here4  ,noah was the tenth  
in generation from ,adam and ,eve4 ,we  
have before shown that the descendants  
of ,shem1 ,ham and ,japheth1 at this    
day1 are white--have been so from the   
flood1 with long1 straight hair1 etc4   
,this fact establishes another fact1    

viz3 that ,noah was also white1 with    
long1 straight hair1 etc4 ,the ,bible   
tells us that ,noah was perfect in his  
genealogy1 and the tenth in descent from
 ,adam and ,eve2 that1 consequently1    
,adam and ,eve were white--with long1   
straight hair1 high foreheads1 high     
noses and thin lips4 ,our ,saviour was  
also white1 and his genealogy is traced1
 family by family1 back to ,adam and    
,eve--which again establishes the fact  
that ,adam and ,eve were white4 ,we have
 also shown that the negro did not      
descend from either of the sons of      
,noah4 ,that he is now here on earth1   
none will deny2 and being here now1 this
 logic of facts proves that he was in   
the ark1 and came out of the ark after  
the flood2 and that it indubitably      
follows1 from the necessities of the    
case1 that he entered the ark as a      
beast1 and only as a beast4 ,now1 it is 
very plain1 from this statement1 that as
 he came out of the ,ark1 the negro1 as 
we now know him1 existed anterior to the

 flood1 and just such a negro as we have
 now1 with his kinky head1 flat nose1   
black skin1 etc42 and that1 ,noah and   
his wife being white1 and perfect in    
their genealogy1 it establishes that    
,adam and ,eve were white2 and no       
mesalliance having taken place from     
,adam to ,noah1 by which the negro could
 be produced1 that1 therefore1 as       
neither of the sons of ,noah1 nor ,noah 
himself1 nor ,adam and ,eve1 ever could 
by any possibility be1 either of them1  
the progenitor of the negro1 that1      
therefore1 it follows1 from this logic  
of facts1 that the negro is a separate  
and distinct species of the genus homo  
from ,adam and ,eve1 and being distinct 
from them1 that it unquestionably       
follows that the negro was created      
before ,adam and ,eve4 ,created before  
them8 ,yes4 ,how do we know this8       
,because the ,bible plainly tells us    
that ,adam and ,eve were the last beings
 of ,god's creation on earth1 and being 
the last1 that the negro must have      

existed before they were created2 for he
 is here now1 and not being their       
offspring1 it follows1 from this logic  
of facts1 that he was on the earth      
before them1 and if on the earth before 
,adam1 that he is inevitably a beast1   
and as a beast1 entered the ark4 ,let us
 recapitulate our points4 ,we have shown
 that the assumption of the learned     
world1 that ,ham is the progenitor of   
the negro1 is a mistake1                
philanthropically and innocently made1  
we have no doubt1 but nevertheless a    
mistake1 and a very great one4 ,as ,ham 
is not the father of the negro1 and no  
one asserts that either ,shem or        
,japheth is1 then the negro belongs to  
another race of people1 and that he came
 out of the ark1 is a demonstrated fact2
 and not being of ,noah's family1 who   
are white1 and ,adam and ,eve being     
likewise white1 therefore1 they could   
not be the progenitors of the negro2 and
 as neither the name or curse did make  
,ham a negro1 or the father of negroes  

7and this covers the space of time from 
now back to the flood and to ,noah71 and
 no mesalliance ever having taken place 
from the flood or ,noah1 back to ,adam  
and ,eve1 by which the negro can be     
accounted for1 and ,adam and ,eve being 
white1 that they could never be the     
father or mother of the kinky-headed1   
low forehead1 flat nose1 thick lip and  
black-skinned negro2 and as ,adam and   
,eve were the last beings created by    
,god on earth1 therefore1 all beasts1   
cattle1 etc41 were consequently made    
before ,adam and ,eve were created2 and 
the negro being now here on earth1 and  
not ,adam's progeny1 it follows1 beyond 
all the reasonings of men on earth to   
controvert1 that he was created before  
,adam1 and with the other beasts or     
cattle1 and being created before ,adam1 
that1 like all beasts and cattle1 they  
have no souls4 ,this can not be         
gainsaid1 and being true1 let us see if 
it is in philosophic harmony with ,god's
 order among animals in their creation4 

,not to be prolix on this point1 we will
 take a few cases4 ,we will begin with  
the cat4 ,the cat1 as a genera of a     
species of animals1 we trace in his     
order of creation through various       
grades--cougar1 panther1 leopard1 tiger1
 up to the lion1 improving in each      
gradation from the small cat up to the  
lion1 a noble beast4 ,again1 we take the
 ass1 and we trace through the          
intervening animals of the same species 
up to the horse1 another noble animal4  
,again1 we take up the monkey1 and trace
 him likewise through his upward and    
advancing orders--baboon1 ourang-outang 
and gorilla1 up to the negro1 another   
noble animal1 the noblest of the beast  
creation4  ,the difference between these
 higher orders of the monkey and the    
negro1 is very slight1 and consists     
mainly in this one thing3 the negro can 
utter sounds that can be imitated2 hence
 he could talk with ,adam and ,eve1 for 
they could imitate his sounds4 ,this is 
the foundation of language4 ,the        

gorilla1 ourang-outang1 baboon1 etc41   
have languages peculiar to themselves1  
and which they understand1 because they 
can imitate each other's sounds4 ,but   
man can not imitate them1 and hence can 
not converse with them4 ,the negro's    
main superiority over them is1 that he  
utters sounds that could be imitated by 
,adam2 hence1 conversation ensued       
between them4 ,again1 the baboon is     
thickly clothed with hair1 and goes     
erect a part of his time4 ,advancing    
still higher in the scale1 the          
ourang-outang is less thickly covered   
with hair1 and goes erect most          
altogether4 ,still advancing higher in  
the scale1 the gorilla has still less   
hair1 and is of a black skin1 and goes  
erect when moving about4 ,a recent      
traveler in ,africa states that the     
gorilla frequently steals the negro     
women and girls1 and carry them off for 
wives4 ,it is thus seen that the        
gradation1 from the monkey up to the    
negro1 is in philosophical              

juxtaposition1 in ,god's order of       
creation4 ,the step from the negro to   
,adam1 is still progressive1 and        
consists of change of color1 hair1      
forehead1 nose1 lips1 etc41 and         
immortality4 ,that the negro existed on 
earth before ,adam was created1 is so   
positively plain from the preceding     
facts1 no intelligent1 candid man can   
doubt2 and that he so existed before    
,adam1 and as a man 7for he was so named
 by ,adam71 we now proceed to show4  ,we
 read in the ,bible1 and ,god said1 let 
us make man in our own image and after  
our likeness2 which is equivalent to    
saying1 we have man already1 but not in 
our image2 for if the negro was already 
in ,god's image1 ,god could not have    
said1 now let us make man in our image4 
,but ,god did say1 after he had created 
every thing else on earth but ,adam1    
that he then said1 let us make man in   
our image1 and after our likeness1 and  
let him1 so created now1 have dominion4 
,god so formed this man1 out of the dust

 of the earth1 and breathed into his    
nostrils the breath of life1 and he     
became a living soul1 and endowed with  
immortality4 ,now1 it is indisputably   
plain1 and so shown from the ,bible in  
this paper1 that this ,,being1 thus     
created by ,god1 had long1 straight     
hair1 high forehead1 high nose1 thin    
lips1 and white skin1 and which the     
negro has not2 and it is equally clearly
 shown that the negro is not the progeny
 of ,adam4 ,therefore the negro must    
have existed before ,adam4 ,but another 
fact3 ,adam was to have dominion over   
all the earth4 ,there must1 of          
necessity1 be an established boundary to
 that dominion1 as betwixt ,god and     
himself1 in order that ,adam should rule
 only in his allotted dominion4 ,in     
settling this domain1 the ,bible is full
 and exact4 ,that which was to be1 and  
to continue under ,god's dominion1 rule 
and control1 ,god named himself4 ,he    
called the light1 day2 the darkness he  
called night2 the dry land he called    

earth2 and the gathering together of the
 waters1 he called seas2 and the        
firmament he called heaven1 etc4 ,and   
what was to be under ,adam's dominion1  
rule and control1 ,adam named himself1  
but by ,god's direction and authority4  
,but mark3 ,adam did not name           
himself--for no child ever names        
himself4 ,but ,god named him and his    
race1 but he did not call or name him   
man after he created him4 ,adam's       
dominion1 starting from himself1 went   
downward in the scale of creation2 while
 ,god's dominion1 starting with ,adam1  
went upward4 ,god1 foreseeing that ,adam
 would call the negro by the name man1  
when he said1 let us make man1 therefore
 so used the term2 for by such name man1
 the negro1 was known by to the flood1  
but not the man4  ,whenever ,adam is    
personally spoken of in the ,hebrew     
scriptures1 invariably his name has the 
prefix1 the man1 to contradistinguish   
him from the negro1 who is called man   
simply1 and was so named by ,adam4 ,by  

inattention to this distinction1 made by
 ,god himself1 the world is indebted for
 the confusion that exists regarding    
,adam and his race1 and the negro4 ,adam
 and his race were to be under ,god's   
dominion1 rule and government1 and was1 
therefore1 named by ,god1 and he called 
their name ,adam1 in reference to his   
race1 and the man1 to contradistinguish 
him from the negro1 whom ,adam named    
man4 ,but ,god did not call ,adam man   
after he created him--he called their   
name ,adam--while ,adam named the negro 
man4 ,but some may say1 again1 as many  
have already said1 that the negro might 
be the offspring of ,adam by some other 
woman1 or of ,eve by some one other than
 ,adam4 ,have such reasoners thought of 
the destruction1 the certain            
destruction1 to their own theory1 this  
assumption would entail upon them8 ,can 
they not see that1 in either case1 by   
,adam or by ,eve1 the progeny would be a
 mulatto1 and not a kinky-headed1 flat  
nose1 black negro1 and that we should be

 at as much loss as before1 to account  
for the negro as we now have him on     
earth1 as ever4 ,and if such            
miscegenating and crossing continued1   
that now we would have no kinky heads   
nor black skins among us4 ,but this     
amalgamation of the whites and blacks   
was never consummated until a later day1
 and then we shall see what ,god thought
 of its practice4 ,but while on this    
point1 just here let us remark1 that    
,god in the creating of ,adam1 to be the
 head of creation1 intended to          
distinguish1 and did distinguish1 him   
with eminent grandeur and notableness in
 his creation1 over and above everything
 else that had preceded it4 ,but when   
creating the negro and other beasts and 
animals1 he made the male and           
female--each out of the ground4 ,not so 
with ,adam and his female1 for ,god     
expressly tells us that he made ,adam's 
wife out of himself1 thus securing the  
unity of immortality in his race alone1 
and hence he called their name ,adam1   

not man4 ,the black man was the back    
ground of the picture1 to show the white
 man to the world1 in his dominion over 
the earth1 as the darkness was the back 
ground of the picture of creation1      
before and over which light1 ,god's     
light1 should forever be seen4  ,the    
discussion and practice of the social   
and political equality of the white and 
black races1 heretofore1 have always    
carried along with them their kindred   
error of the equality of rights of the  
two sexes1 in all things pertaining to  
human affairs and government4 ,but both 
end in destruction1 entire destruction  
and extermination1 as we shall see in   
the further prosecution of our subject1 
and as the ,bible plainly teaches4 ,the 
conclusion1 then1 that the negro which  
we now have on earth was created before 
,adam1 is inevitable1 from the logic of 
facts1 and the divine testimony of the  
,bible1 and can not be resisted by all  
the reasonings of men on earth4  ,how is
 it that we say that the horse was      

created before ,adam8 ,the ,bible does  
not tell us so in so many words1 yet we 
know that it is true4 ,how do we know   
it8 ,simply because we know that the    
,bible plainly tells us that ,adam and  
,eve were the last of ,god's creation on
 earth1 and by the fact that we have the
 horse now1 and know that he must have  
been created1 and ,adam being the last  
created1 that1 consequently1 by this    
logic of facts1 we know that the horse  
was made before ,adam4 ,the horse has   
his distinctive characteristics1 and by 
which he has been known in all ages of  
the world1 and he has been described in 
all languages by those characteristics1 
so as to be recognized in all ages of   
the world4 ,his characteristics are not 
more distinct from some other animals   
than that of the white race is distinct 
from that of the negro1 or of the negro 
from the white4 ,we can trace all the   
beasts1 etc41 now on earth1 back to the 
flood1 and from the flood back to the   
creation of the world1 and just such    

animals as we find them now4 ,why not   
the negro8 ,we know we can that of the  
white man4 ,then we ask1 again1 why not 
the negro as readily as the white man or
 the horse8 ,has any animal so changed  
from their creation that we can not     
recognize them now8 ,certainly not4     
,then1 why say that the negro has8 ,has 
,god ever changed any beings from the   
order in which he created them since he 
made the world8 ,most certainly he has  
not4 ,has he ever intimated in any way  
that he would do so8 ,certainly not4    
,has he created any beings since he made
 ,adam8 ,no4 ,how1 then1 can any man    
assert that he did make or change a     
white man into a black negro1 and say   
not one word about it8 ,such a position 
is untenable1 it is preposterous4  ,but1
 to go on with our subject3 ,we read in 
the ,bible that it came to pass when men
 began to multiply1 etc41 that the sons 
of ,god saw the daughters of men1 that  
they were fair1 and they took themselves
 wives of all which they chose4 ,a word 

or two of criticism before we proceed4  
,in this quotation the word men is      
correctly translated from the ,hebrew1  
and as it applies to the negro1 it is   
not in the original applied to ,adam1   
for then it would be the men1 ,adam and 
his race being so distinguished by ,god 
himself1 when ,adam was created4 ,again1
 the daughters of men were fair4 ,the   
word fair is not a correct rendering of 
the original1 except as it covers simply
 the idea1 captivating1 enticing1       
seductive4  ,with this explanation we   
proceed1 and in proceeding we will show 
these criticisms to be just and proper4 
,who were these sons of ,god8 ,were they
 from heaven8 ,if they were1 then their 
morals were sadly out of order4 ,were   
they angels8 ,then it is very plain they
 never got back to heaven3 nor are      
wicked angels ever sent to earth from   
heaven4 ,and they are not on earth for  
the angels that sinned1 are confined    
where there is certainly no water2 and  
these were all drowned4 ,and angels can 

not be drowned4 ,angels belong to       
heaven1 and if they do anything wrong   
there1 they are sent1 not to earth1 but 
to--tophet4 ,they are not the sons of   
men from below1 nor its angels2 for     
these could not be called sons of ,god4 
,who were they then8 ,we answer1 without
 the fear of successful contradiction1  
that they were the sons of ,adam and    
,eve1 thus denominated by pre-eminence2 
and as they truly were1 the sons of     
,god1 to show the horrible crime of     
their criminal association with beasts4 
,immortal beings allying themselves with
 the beasts of the earth4 ,these        
daughters of men were negroes1 and these
 sons of ,god1 were the children of     
,adam and ,eve1 as we shall see         
presently1 and beyond a shade of doubt4 
,god told ,adam and ,eve to multiply and
 replenish the earth4 ,then it is plain1
 ,god could have no objection to their  
taking themselves wives of whom they    
chose1 of their own race1 in obeying    
this injunction2 for they could not do  

otherwise in obeying it4 ,but ,god did  
object to their taking wives of these   
daughters of men4 ,then it is plain that
 these daughters of men1 whatever else  
they may have been1 could not be the    
daughters of ,adam and ,eve2 for1 had   
they been1 ,god would certainly not have
 objected1 as they would have been      
exactly fulfilling his command1 to take 
them wives and multiply4 ,but our       
,saviour settles these points beyond any
 doubt1 when he taught his disciples how
 to pray--to say1 ,our ,father1 who art 
in heaven4 ,his disciples were white1   
and the lineal and pure descendants of  
,adam and ,eve4 ,this being so1 then1   
when he told such to say1 ,our ,father1 
who art in heaven1 equally and at the   
same time told them that1 as ,god was   
their father1 they were the sons of     
,god2 and as ,god did object to the sons
 of ,god taking them wives of these     
daughters of men1 that it is ipso facto 
,god's testimony that these daughters of
 men were negroes1 and not his children4

 ,this settles the question that it was 
,adam's pure descendants who are here   
called the sons of ,god1 and that these 
daughters of men were negroes4  ,by this
 logic of facts we see1 then1 who these 
sons of ,god were1 and who these        
daughters of men were2 and that the     
crime they were committing1 could not   
be1 or ever will be1 propitiated2 for   
,god neither could or would forgive it1 
as we shall see4 ,he determined to      
destroy them1 and with them the world1  
by a flood1 and for the crime of        
amalgamation or miscegenation of the    
white race with that of the black--mere 
beasts of the earth4 ,we can now form an
 opinion of the awful nature of this    
crime1 in the eyes of ,god1 when we know
 that he destroyed the world by a flood1
 on account of its perpetration4 ,but it
 is probable that we should not1 in this
 our day1 have been so long in the dark 
in regard to the sin1 the particular    
sin1 that brought the flood upon the    
earth1 had not our translators rejected 

the rendering of some of the oldest     
manuscripts--the ,chaldean1 ,ethiopic1  
,arabic1 et al4--of the ,jewish or      
,hebrew scriptures1 in which that sin is
 plainly set forth2 our translators     
believing it impossible that brute      
beasts could corrupt themselves with    
mankind1 and then1 not thinking1 or     
regarding1 that the negro was the very  
beast referred to4 ,but even after this 
rejection1 such were the number and     
authenticity of manuscripts in which    
that idea was still presented1 that they
 felt constrained to admit it1 covertly 
as it were1 as may be seen on reading   
,gen4 vi3 #ab-ac1 in our common version4
  ,it will be admitted by all ,biblical 
scholars1 and doubted by none1 that     
immediately after the fall of ,adam in  
the garden of ,eden1 ,god then 7perhaps 
on the same day71 instituted and        
ordained sacrifices and offerings1 as   
the media through which ,adam and his   
race should approach ,god and call upon 
his name4 ,that ,adam did so--that ,cain

 and ,abel did so2 and that ,seth1      
through whom our ,saviour descended     
after the flesh1 did so1 none can or    
will doubt1 who believe in the ,bible4  
,now1 ,seth's first-born son1 ,enos     
7,adam's first grandson71 was born when 
,adam was two hundred and thirty-five   
years old4 ,upon the happening of the   
birth of this grandson1 the sacred      
historian fixes the time1 the particular
 time1 immediately after the birth of   
,enos1 as the period when a certain     
important matter then first took place2 
that important event was3 that ,then men
 began to call on the name of the ,lord1
 as translated in our ,bible4 ,who are  
these men that then began to call on the
 ,lord8 ,it was not ,adam2 it was not   
,cain2 it was not ,abel2 it was not     
,seth2 ,and these were all the men that 
were of ,adam's race that were upon the 
earth at that time1 or that had been1 up
 to the birth of ,enos2 and these had   
been calling on the name of the ,lord   
ever since the fall in the garden4 ,who 

were they1 then8 ,what men were they1   
then on earth1 that then began to call  
on the name of the ,lord8 ,there is but 
one answer between earth and skies1 that
 can be given in truth to this question4
 ,this logic of facts1 this logic of    
,bible facts1 plainly tells us that     
these men who then began 7,a4,m4 #bce7  
to call upon the name of the ,lord1 were
 negroes--the men so named by ,adam when
 he named the other beasts and cattle4  
,this can not be questioned4 ,any other 
view would make the ,bible statements   
false1 and we know the ,bible to be     
true4 ,if our translators 7indeed all   
translators whose works we have         
examined71 had not had their minds      
confused by the idea that all who are1  
in the ,bible1 called men were ,adam's  
progeny2 or had they recognized the     
simple fact1 that the term man was the  
name bestowed on the negro by ,adam1 and
 that this name was never applied to    
,adam and his race till long after the  
flood1 they would have made a very      

different translation of this sentence  
from the original ,hebrew4 ,the logic of
 facts existing before and at the time  
the sacred historian said that ,then men
 began to call1 would1 in conjunction   
with the original ,hebrew text1 have    
compelled them to a different rendering 
from the one they adopted4 ,but1        
believing as they did1 that it was some 
of ,adam's race1 then called men1 they  
stumbled on a translation that not one  
of them has been satisfied with since   
they made it4 ,the propriety of this    
assertion in regard to antecedents      
controlling the proper rendering1 will  
be readily admitted by all scholars4    
,the rendering1 therefore1 of the exact 
idea of the sacred historian1 would be  
this3 ,then men began to profane the    
,lord by calling on his name4 ,this is  
required by the ,hebrew1 and the        
antecedent facts certainly demand it2   
otherwise we would falsify the ,bible1  
as ,adam and his sons had been calling  
on the ,lord ever since the fall2       

therefore1 the men referred to1 that    
then began to call1 could not be ,adam1 
nor any of his sons4 ,this logic of     
facts compels us to say that it was the 
negro1 created before ,adam and by him  
named man1 for there were no other men  
on the earth4 ,that the calling was     
profane1 is admitted by all of our      
ablest commentators and ,biblical       
scholars1 as may be seen by reference to
 their works4 ,see ,adam ,clark1 et al4 
,the ,jews translate it thus3 ,then men 
began to profane the name of the ,lord4 
,but we have this singular expression in
 the ,bible1 occurring about the flood3 
,that it repented the ,lord that he had 
made man on the earth1 and that it      
grieved him at his heart4 ,now1 it is   
clear that ,god could not refer1 in     
these expressions1 to ,adam as the man  
whom it repented and grieved him that he
 had made2 for ,adam was a part of      
himself1 and became so when ,god        
breathed into his nostrils the breath of
 life and he became a living soul1      

immortal1 and must exist1 ex            
consequentia1 as long as ,god exists4   
,god can not hate any part of himself1  
for that would be perfection hating     
perfection1 and ,adam did partake of the
 divine nature to some extent2 and      
therefore the man here referred to could
 not have been ,adam's posterity2 and   
must have been1 from the same logic of  
facts1 the man1 negro1 the beast1 called
 by ,god1 man before he created ,adam4  
,now1 it must have been some awful      
crime1 some terrible corruption1 that   
could and did cause ,god to repent1 to  
be grieved at his heart1 that he had    
made man4 ,what was this crime8 what    
this corruption8 ,was it moral crimes   
confined to ,adam's race8 ,let us see4  
,it was not the eating of the forbidden 
fruit2 for that had been done long      
before4 ,it was not murder2 for ,cain   
had murdered his brother4 ,it was not   
drunkenness2 for ,noah1 though a        
preacher of righteousness1 did get      
drunk4 ,it was not incest2 for ,lot1    

another preacher of righteousness1      
committed that4 ,it was not that of one 
brother selling his own brother as a    
slave1 to be taken to a strange land2   
for ,joseph's brethren did that1 and    
lied about it1 too4 ,it was not--1 but  
we may go through the whole catalogue of
 moral sins and crimes of human         
turpitude1 and take them up separately1 
and then compound them together1 until  
the whole catalogue of human iniquity   
and infamy is exhausted1 and then       
suppose them all to be perpetrated every
 day by ,adam's race1 and as they have  
been before and since the flood1 still  
we would have but one answer1 and that  
answer would be1 ,it is none of these1  
nor all of them combined1 that thus     
caused ,god to repent and be grieved at 
his heart1 that he had made man2 but add
 one more--nay not add1 but take one    
crime alone and by itself--one only1 and
 that crime ,adam's children1 the sons  
of ,god1 amalgamating1 miscegenating1   
with the negro--man--beast1 without     

soul--without the endowment of          
immortality1 and you have the reason1   
why ,god repented and drowned the world1
 because of its commission4 ,it is a    
crime1 in the sight of ,god1 that can   
not be propitiated by any sacrifice1 or 
by any oblation1 and can not be forgiven
 by ,god--never has been forgiven on    
earth1 and never will be4 ,death--death 
inexorable1 is declared by ,god's       
judgments on the world and on nations2  
and he has declared death as its        
punishment by his law--death to both    
male and female1 without pardon or      
reprieve1 and beyond the power of any   
sacrifice to expiate4  ,that ,adam was  
especially endowed by his ,creator1 and 
by him commissioned with authority to   
rule and have dominion over everything  
created on earth1 is unquestioned2 that 
to mark the extent of his dominion1     
everything named by him was included in 
his right to rule them4 ,his wife was   
the last thing named by him1 and        
consequently under his rule1 government 

and dominion4 ,but a being called man   
existed before ,adam was created1 and   
was named man by ,adam1 and was to be   
under his rule and dominion1 as all     
other beasts and animals4 ,but did ,god 
call ,adam man1 after he had created    
him8 ,most certainly he did not4 ,this  
fact relieves us of all doubt as to who 
was meant as the men of whose daughters 
the sons of ,god took their wives1      
independent of the preceding            
irrefragable proofs1 that it was the    
negro2 and the crime of amalgamation    
thus committed1 brought the flood upon  
the earth4 ,there is no possibility of  
avoiding this conviction4  ,but this    
will be fully sustained as we advance4  
,cush was ,ham's oldest son1 and the    
father of ,nimrod4 ,it appears from the 
,bible1 that this ,nimrod was not       
entirely cured1 by the flood1 of this   
antediluvian love for and miscegenation 
with negroes4 ,nimrod was the first on  
earth who began to monopolize power and 
play the despot3 its objects we will see

 presently4 ,kingly power had its origin
 in love for and association with the   
negro4 ,beware6 ,nimrod's hunting was   
not only of wild animals1 but also of   
men--the negro--to subdue them under his
 power and dominion2 and for the        
purposes of rebellion against ,god1 and 
in defiance of his power and judgment in
 destroying the world1 and for the same 
sin4 ,this view of ,nimrod as a mighty  
hunter1 will be sustained1 not only by  
the facts narrated in our ,bible1 of    
what he did1 but to the mind of every   
,hebrew scholar1 it will appear doubly  
strong by the sense of the original4 ,we
 see that ,god1 by his prophets1 gives  
the name hunter to all tyrants1 with    
manifest reference to ,nimrod as its    
originator4 ,in the ,latin ,vulgate1    
,ezekiel xxxii3 #cj1 plainly shows it4  
,it was ,nimrod that directed and       
managed--ruled1 if you please--the great
 multitude that assembled on the ,plain 
of ,shinar4 ,this multitude1 thus       
assembled by his arbitrary power1 and   

other inducements1 we shall see         
presently1 were mostly negroes2 and with
 them he undertook the building of the  
tower of ,babel--a building vainly      
intended1 by him and them1 should reach 
heaven1 and thereby they would escape   
such a flood as had so recently         
destroyed the earth2 and for the same   
sin4 ,else why build such a tower8 ,they
 knew the sin that had caused the flood1
 for ,noah was yet living2 and unless   
they were again committing the same     
offense1 there would be no necessity for
 such a tower4 ,that the great          
multitude1 gathered thus by ,nimrod1    
were mostly negroes1 appears from the   
facts stated in the ,bible4 ,god told   
,noah1 after the flood1 to subdue the   
earth for all beasts1 cattle1 etc41 are 
delivered into thy hands4 ,the negro1 as
 already shown1 was put into the ark    
with the beasts1 and came out of it     
along with them1 as one4 ,if they went  
into the ark by sevens1 as is probable  
they did1 from being the head of the    

beasts1 cattle1 etc41 then their        
populating power would be in proportion 
to the whites--as seven is to three1 or 
as fourteen is to six2 and ,nimrod must 
have resorted to them to get the        
multitude that he assembled on the      
,plain of ,shinar2 for the ,bible       
plainly tells us where the other        
descendants of ,noah's children went1   
including those of ,nimrod's immediate  
relations2 and from the ,bible account  
where they did go to1 it is evident that
 they did not go with ,nimrod to        
,shinar4 ,this logic of facts1          
therefore1 proves that they were        
negroes1 and explains why ,nimrod is    
called the mighty hunter before1 or     
against the ,lord1 as it should have    
been translated in this place4 ,david   
stood before ,goliah2 but evidently     
against him4 ,the whole tenor of the    
,bible account shows these views to be  
correct1 whether the negro entered the  
ark by sevens or only a pair4 ,for1 when
 we read further1 that they now were all

 of one speech and one language1 they   
proposed1 besides the tower1 to build   
them a city1 where their power could be 
concentrated2 and if this were          
accomplished1 and they kept together1   
and acting in concert1 under such a man 
as the ,bible shows ,nimrod to have     
been1 it would be impossible for ,noah's
 descendants to subdue the earth1 as    
,god had charged they should do4 ,it    
was1 therefore1 to prevent this         
concentration of power and numbers1 that
 ,god confounded their language1 broke  
them into bands1 overthrew their tower1 
stopped the building of their city1 and 
scattered or dispersed them over the    
earth4  ,let us now ask3 ,was not their 
tower an intended offense to1 and       
defiance of1 ,god8 ,most certainly4 ,if 
not1 why did ,god destroy it8 ,did ,god 
ever1 before or after1 destroy any other
 tower of the many built about this     
time1 or in any subsequent age of the   
world1 made by any other people8 ,no4   
,why did he not destroy the towers1     

obelisks and pyramids1 built by ,mizraim
 and his descendants1 on the banks of   
the ,nile8 ,and why prevent them from   
building a city1 but for the purpose of 
destroying concentrated power1 to the   
injury of ,noah's children1 and their   
right from ,god to rule the earth8 ,the 
,bible nowhere tells us where any of the
 beasts of earth went at any time3      
hence1 the negro being one1 it says not 
one word about where any of them went4  
,but we are at no loss to find them1    
when we know their habits4 ,the negro1  
we know from his habits1 when           
unrestrained1 never inhabits mountainous
 districts or countries2 and1 therefore1
 we readily find him in the level ,plain
 of ,shinar4 ,the whole facts narrated  
in the ,bible1 of what was said and     
done1 go to show that the positions here
 assumed1 warrant the correctness of the
 conclusion that the main body of these 
people were negroes1 subdued by and     
under the rule and direction of ,nimrod2
 that the language used by them1 why    

they would build them a tower1 shows    
they were daily practicing the same sin 
that caused ,god to destroy the earth by
 a flood2 and that1 actuated by the fear
 of a similar fate1 springing from a    
like cause1 they hoped to avoid it by a 
tower1 which should reach heaven2 that  
their confusion and dispersion1 and the 
stopping of the building of their city  
by ,god--all1 all go to show what sort  
of people they were1 and what sin it was
 that caused ,god to deal with them so  
totally different from his treatment of 
any other people4 ,the very language    
used by them1 on the occasion1 goes     
plainly to prove that those             
,babel-builders knew that they were but 
beasts1 and knew what the effect of that
 sin would be1 that was being committed 
daily4 ,they knew it was the very nature
 of beasts to be scattered over the     
earth1 and that they had no name 7from  
,god1 as ,adam had72 therefore they     
said1 one to another1 let us make brick1
 and let us build us a city1 and a tower

 whose top may reach heaven2 and let us 
make us a name 7as ,god gave us none71  
lest we be scattered abroad4 ,name1 in  
the ,hebrew scriptures1 signified power1
 authority1 rule1 as may be readily seen
 by consulting the ,bible4 ,and ,god    
said3 ,and this they will begin to do1  
and nothing will be restrained from them
 which they have imagined to do2 let us1
 therefore1 confound their language1    
that they might not understand one      
another4 ,this language is very         
peculiar--used as it is by ,god--and    
there is more in it than appears on the 
surface1 or to a superficial reader2 but
 we will not pause to consider it now4  
,the confusion of language was confined 
to those there assembled4 ,why should   
,god object to their building a city1 if
 they were the descendants of ,adam and 
,eve8 ,but it is plain he did object to 
their building one4 ,did ,god object to 
,cain's building a city8--although a    
fratricidal murderer4 ,did he object to 
,mizraim and his descendants building   

those immense cities which they built on
 the ,nile8 ,no4 ,in short1 did ,god    
ever object to any of the known         
descendants of ,adam and ,eve building a
 city1 or as many as they might choose  
to build8 ,never4 ,but1 from some cause 
or other1 ,god did object to those      
people building that city and that      
tower4 ,the objection could not be in   
regard to its locality1 nor to the      
ground on which it was proposed to build
 them2 for the great ,city of ,babylon  
and with higher towers1 too1 was        
afterward built on the same spot--but by
 another people--,shem's descendants4   
,then1 what could be the reason that    
could cause ,god to come down from      
heaven to prevent these people from     
building it8 ,it must be some great     
cause that would bring ,god down to     
overthrow and prevent it4 ,he allowed   
the people of ,shem1 afterward1 to build
 the ,city of ,babylon at the same      
place4  ,reader1 candid or uncandid1    
carefully read and reflect on the facts 

described in this whole affair4 ,then   
remember that1 on one other occasion1   
,god came down from heaven2 that he     
talked with ,noah2 that he told him he  
was going to destroy the world2 that he 
told him the reason why he intended to  
destroy it4 ,reader1 do not the facts   
here detailed1 of the objects and       
purposes of these people1 and this logic
 of facts1 force our minds1 in spite of 
all opposing reasons to the contrary1 to
 the conviction that the sin of these   
people was the identical sin1 and       
consequent corruption of the race1 as   
that which caused the destruction of the
 world by the flood2 and that sin1 the  
amalgamation or miscegenation of ,nimrod
 and his kindred with beasts--the       
daughters of men--negroes4 ,but1 this   
view of who it was that attempted the   
building of the tower and city of       
,babel1 and their reasons for doing so1 
will be confirmed by what is to follow4 
,the ,bible informs us that ,canaan1 the
 youngest son of ,ham1 settled ,canaan2 

and that it was from him the land took  
its name1 as did the land of ,mizraim1  
,ham's second son take its name from    
him1 of what is now called ,egypt4 ,it  
was against this ,canaan 7not ,ham7 that
 the curse of ,noah was directed1 that a
 servant of servants should he be to his
 brethren4 ,there is something of marked
 curiosity in the ,bible account of this
 ,canaan and his family4 ,the language  
is singular1 and differs from the ,bible
 account of every other family in the   
,bible1 where it proposes to give and   
does give the genealogy of any          
particular family4 ,why is this1 there  
must be some reason1 and some valid     
reason too1 or there would be no        
variation in the particulars we refer to
 from that of any other family8 ,the    
account in the ,bible reads thus--,and  
,canaan begat ,sidon his first born1 and
 ,heth4 ,so far so good4 ,and why not   
continue on giving the names of his     
other sons as in all other genealogies8 
,but it does not read so4 ,it reads1    

,and ,canaan begat ,sidon his first     
born1 and ,heth1 and the ,jebusite1 and 
the ,amorite1 and the ,girgasite1 and   
the ,hivite1 and the ,arkite1 and the   
,sinite1 and the ,arvadite1 and the     
,zemarite and the ,hamathite1 and who   
afterward were the families of the      
,canaanite spread abroad4 ,with all     
other families the ,divine ,record goes 
on as this commenced1 giving the names  
of all the sons4 ,but in this family of 
,canaan1 after naming the two sons      
,sidon and ,heth 7who settled ,sidon1   
,tyre and ,carthage1 and were white as  
is plainly shown7 it breaks off abruptly
 to these ites4 ,why this suffix of ite 
to their names8 ,it is extraordinary and
 unusual2 there must be some reason1 a  
peculiar reason for this departure from 
the usual mode or rule1 of which this is
 the only exception4 ,what does it mean8
 ,the reason is plain4 ,the progeny of  
the horse and ass species is never      
classed with either its father or       
mother1 but is called a mule and        

represents neither4 ,so the progeny of a
 son of ,god1 a descendant of ,adam and 
,eve with the negro a beast1 is not     
classed with or called by the name of   
either its father or mother1 but is an  
ite1 a class--bonded class1 not race1   
,god intending by this distinguishment  
to show to all future ages what will    
become of all such ites1 by placing in  
bold relief before our eyes the terrible
 end of these as we shall see presently4
 ,reader1 bear in mind the end of these 
ites when we come to narrate them4      
,these ites1 the progeny of ,canaan and 
the negro1 inhabited the land of        
,canaan2 with other places1 they        
occupied what was then the beautiful    
plain and vale of ,siddim1 where they   
built the notorious cities of ,sodom1   
,gomorrah1 ,admah1 and ,zeboim4 ,like   
all counterfeits1 they were ambitious of
 appearing as the genuine descendants of
 ,adam1 whose name they knew or had     
heard meant red and fair in ,hebrew2    
they1 therefore1 called one of their    

cities ,admah1 to represent this red and
 fair man1 and at the same time it      
should mean in negro ,ethiopic          
beautiful--that kind of beauty that once
 seduced the sons of ,god1 and brought  
the flood upon the earth4 ,about the    
time we are now referring to1 ,abraham1 
a descendant of ,shem was sojourning in 
,canaan4 ,he had a nephew named ,lot who
 had located himself in the vale of     
,siddim1 and at this time was living in 
,sodom4 ,one day three men were seen by 
,abraham passing his tent2 it was summer
 time4 ,abraham ran to them and         
entreated that they should abide under  
the tree1 while he would have           
refreshment prepared for them2 they did 
so1 and when about to depart one of them
 said1 shall we keep from ,abraham that 
thing which ,i do 7,god come down       
again71 seeing he shall surely become a 
great and mighty nation1 for ,i know he 
will command his children and household 
after him1 and they shall keep the way  
of the ,lord2 that is1 keeping ,adam's  

race pure--a mission the ,jews are to   
this day fulfilling4 ,and they told     
,abraham of the impending fate of these 
cities4 ,abraham interceded for them1   
and pleaded that the righteous should   
not be destroyed with the wicked4 ,god  
ultimately promised him1 that if there  
were ten righteous in all these cities  
that he would not destroy them4 ,what   
strong foundation have we people of the 
,united ,states in ,god's mercy and     
forbearance in this incident8 ,will we  
prove worthy8 ,the angels went to ,sodom
 and brought out all the righteous1     
being only ,lot and his two daughters   
7and their righteousness was not in     
their morality71 his wife being turned  
into a pillar of salt4 ,this done1 ,god 
rained fire upon these cities and       
literally burnt up their inhabitants    
alive1 and everything they had1 and then
 sunk the very ground upon which their  
cities stood more than a thousand feet  
beneath1 not the pure waters of the     
deluge1 but beneath the bitter1 salt1   

and slimy waters of ,asphaltites1       
wherein no living thing can exist4 ,an  
awful judgment6 ,but it was for the most
 awful crime that man can commit in the 
sight of ,god1 of which the punishment  
is on earth4 ,exhaust the catalogue of  
human depravity--name every crime human 
turpitude can possibly perpetrate1 and  
which has been perpetrated on earth     
since the fall of ,adam1 and no such    
judgment of ,god on any people has ever 
before fallen1 on their commission4 ,but
 one crime1 one other crime1 and that   
crime the same for which he had         
destroyed every living thing on earth1  
save what was in the ark4 ,but now he   
destroys by fire1 not by water1 but by  
fire1 men1 women and children1 old and  
young1 for the crime of miscegenating of
 ,adam's race with the negroes4 ,noah   
was a preacher of righteousness to the  
antediluvians1 yet he got drunk after   
the flood4 ,lot too was a preacher of   
righteousness to the cities of the      
plain1 and he too not only got drunk but

 did so repeatedly1 and committed a     
double crime of incest besides4 ,then we
 ask1 what righteousness1 what kind of  
righteousness was it that was thus      
preached by such men8 ,we speak with    
entire reverence when we say that the   
logic of facts shows but little of      
morality--but it does show1 as it was   
intended to be shown by ,god1 that1     
though frail and sinful in a moral sense
 as they were1 yet1 being perfect in    
their genealogies from ,adam and ,eve1  
they could still be his preachers of    
righteousness1 they themselves being    
right in keeping from beastly alliances4
  ,but the ,bible evidence to the truth 
of these views does not stop here4 ,god 
appeared unto ,abraham at another time1 
while sojourning in the land of ,canaan1
 and told him that all that land he     
would give to him and to his seed after 
him forever4 ,but the land was already  
inhabited and owned by these ites4 ,if  
they were the natural descendants of    
,adam and ,eve1 would they not have been

 as much entitled to hold1 occupy and   
enjoy it as ,abraham or any other8 ,most
 certainly4 ,if these ites were ,god's  
children by ,adam and ,eve1 it is       
impossible to suppose that ,god would   
turn one child out of house and land and
 give them to another1 without right and
 without justice2 and which he would be 
doing1 were he to act so4 ,nay6 but the 
,lord of the whole earth will do right4 
,but ,god did make such a promise to    
,abraham1 and he made it in             
righteousness1 truth and justice4 ,when 
the time came for ,abraham's seed to    
enter upon it and to possess it1 ,god   
sent ,moses and ,aaron to bring them up 
out of ,egypt1 where they had long been 
in bondage1 and they did so4 ,but now   
mark what follows3 ,god explicitly      
enjoins upon them1 7#a47 that they shall
 not take1 of the daughters of the land1
 wives for their sons2 nor give their   
daughters in marriage to them4 ,strange 
conflict of ,god with himself1 if indeed
 these ,canaanites were his children6   

,to multiply and replenish the earth1 is
 ,god's command to ,adam2 but his       
command to ,moses is1 that ,israel1     
known to be the children of ,adam1 shall
 not take wives of these ,canaanites for
 their sons--nor shall they give their  
daughters to them4 ,why this conflict of
 the one great lawgiver1 if these       
,canaanites were ,god's children through
 ,adam8 ,it could not be to identify the
 ,messiah1 for that required only the   
lineage of one family4 ,but mark1 7#b47 
,but of the cities and people of the    
land which the ,lord thy ,god giveth    
thee for an inheritance1 thou shalt save
 alive nothing that breathes1 but thou  
shalt utterly destroy them1 namely the  
,hittites1 ,canaanites1 etc41 naming all
 the ites--this is their end4 ,why this 
terrible order of extermination given8  
and given by ,god himself8 ,will not the
 ,lord of the whole earth do right8     
,yes1 verily4 ,then1 we ask1 what is    
that great and terrible reason for ,god 
ordering this entire extermination of   

these ites1 if indeed they were his     
children and the pure descendants of    
,adam and ,eve8 ,what crimes had they   
committed1 that had not been before     
committed by the pure descendants of    
,noah8 ,what iniquity had the little    
children and nursing infants been guilty
 of1 that such a terrible fate should   
overwhelm them8 ,there must have been   
some good cause for such entire         
destruction2 for the ,lord of the whole 
earth does right1 and only right4 ,let  
us see how ,god deals with ,adam's      
children1 how bad soever they may be1 in
 a moral sense1 in contrast with this   
order to exterminate4 ,the ,bible tells 
us1 that when the ,hebrews approached   
the border of ,sier 7which is in        
,canaan71 ,god told them not to touch   
that land nor its people1 for he had    
given it to ,esau for a possession4 ,yet
 this ,esau had sold his birthright for 
a mess of pottage1 and he and his people
 were idolaters1 and treated the        
children of ,israel with acts of        

hostility which some of these ites had  
not4 ,again1 they were not to touch the 
land of ,ammon1 nor that of ,moab1      
although they were the offspring of     
incestuous intercourse1 and were1 with  
the people of ,sier1 as much given to   
idolatry and all other moral crimes1 and
 as much so as any of these ,canaanites 
whom ,god directed ,moses to            
exterminate4 ,why except those1 and doom
 these to extermination8 ,was not       
,canaan1 the father of these ites1 a    
grandson of ,noah1 and as much related  
to the ,hebrews as were the children of 
,esau1 ,moab and ,ammon8 ,certainly4    
,then1 their destruction was not for    
want of kinship2 nor was it because they
 were idolaters more than these1 or were
 greater moral criminals in the sight of
 ,heaven2 but simply because they were  
the progeny of amalgamation or          
miscegenation between ,canaan1 a son of 
,adam and ,eve1 and the negro2 and were 
neither man nor beast4 ,for this crime  
,god had destroyed the world1 sown      

confusion broad-cast at ,babel1 burnt up
 the inhabitants of the vale of ,siddim1
 and for it would now exterminate the   
,canaanite4 ,it is a crime that ,god has
 never forgiven1 never will forgive1 nor
 can it be propitiated by all the       
sacrifices earth can make or give4 ,god 
has shown himself1 in regard to it1     
long-suffering and of great forbearance4
 ,however much our minds may seek and   
desire to seek other reasons for this   
order of extermination of ,god1 yet we  
look in vain1 even to the ,hebrews      
themselves1 for reasons to be found1 in 
their superior moral conduct toward     
,god2 but we look in vain4 ,the very    
people for whom they were exterminated  
were1 in their moral conduct and        
obedience to ,god1 no better1 save in   
that sin of amalgamation4 ,the          
exterminator and the exterminated were  
bad1 equally alike in every moral or    
religious sense--save one thing1 and one
 thing only--one had not brutalized     
himself by amalgamating with negroes1   

the other had4 ,this logic of facts1    
forces our minds1 compels our judgment1 
and presses all our reasoning faculties 
back1 in spite of ourselves or our      
wishes1 to the conclusion that it was   
this one crime1 and one crime only1 that
 was the originating cause of this      
terrible and inexorable fate of the     
,canaanite2 being1 as they were1 the    
corrupt seed of ,canaan1 ,god destroyed 
them4 ,for1 if these ,canaanites had    
been the full children of ,adam and     
,eve1 they would have been as much      
entitled to the land1 under the grant by
 ,god1 of the whole earth1 to ,adam and 
his posterity1 with the right of        
dominion1 and their right to it as      
perfect as that of ,abraham could       
possibly be2 but1 being partly beasts   
and partly human1 ,god not only         
dispossessed them of it1 but also       
ordered their entire extermination1 for 
he had given no part of the earth to    
such beings4 ,this judgment of ,god on  
these people has been harped upon by    

every deistical and atheistical writer1 
from the days of ,celsus down to ,thomas
 ,paine of the present age1 but without 
understanding it4 ,this crime must be   
unspeakably great1 when we read1 as we  
do in the ,bible1 that it caused ,god to
 repent and to be grieved at his heart  
that he had made man4 ,for1 the debasing
 idolatry of the world1 the murder of   
the good and noble of earth1 the        
forswearing of the apostle ,peter in    
denying his ,lord and ,saviour--all1 all
 the crimsoned crimes of earth1 or      
within the power of man's infamy and    
turpitude to commit and blacken his     
soul--are as nothing on earth1 as       
compared with this4 ,death by the flood1
 death by the scorching fire of ,god    
burning alive the inhabitants of ,sodom 
and ,gomorrah1 death to man1 woman and  
child1 flocks and herds1 remorseless1   
relentless and exterminating death--is  
the just judgment of an all-merciful    
,god1 for this offense4 ,the seed of    
,adam1 which is the seed of ,god1 must  

be kept pure2 it shall be kept pure1 is 
the fiat of the ,almighty4 ,man perils  
his existence1 nations peril their      
existence and destruction1 if they      
support1 countenance1 or permit it4     
,such have been ,god's dealings with it 
heretofore1 and such will be his        
dealings with it hereafter4  ,but we    
have said before1 that we intentionally 
selected ,canaan1 the youngest son of   
,ham1 and for a purpose4 ,this we will  
now explain4 ,had ,noah named ,ham      
instead of ,canaan1 when he declared    
that he should be a servant of servants 
to his brethren1 the learned world are  
of the opinion that it would have       
forever1 and satisfactorily settled the 
question1 in conjunction with the       
meaning of his name in ,hebrew1 that    
,ham was the father of the present negro
 race--that if this curse had been      
specifically and personally directed    
against ,ham1 instead of his youngest   
son ,canaan1 then1 no doubt could exist 
on earth1 but that ,ham was1 and is the 

father of the negro4 ,this is the       
opinion of the learned4 ,but1 why so8   
,could not the curse affect ,canaan as  
readily8 ,if it could affect ,ham in    
changing his color1 kinking his hair1   
crushing his forehead down and          
flattening his nose1 why would it not be
 equally potent in producing those      
effects on ,canaan8 ,surely its effects 
would be as great on one person as      
another8 ,it was to relieve our learned 
men from this dilemma1 among others1    
that we took up ,canaan1 to show1 that  
although this curse was hurled          
specifically and personally at ,canaan1 
by ,noah1 that a servant of servants    
should he be1 yet it carried no such    
effects with it on ,canaan or his       
posterity4 ,then1 if it did not make the
 black negro of ,canaan1 how could it   
have produced that effect on ,ham1      
,canaan's father8 ,canaan had two white 
sons1 with long1 straight hair1 etc41   
peculiar alone to the white race1 and   
not belonging to the negro race at all1 

which is proof that the curse did not   
affect his hair or the color of his     
skin1 nor that of his posterity4 ,canaan
 had two white sons by his first wife1  
,sidon and ,heth4 ,they settled         
,phoenicia1 ,sidon1 ,tyre1 ,carthage1   
etc4 ,the city of ,sidon took its name  
from the elder4 ,that they were white1  
and belong to the white race alone1 we  
have before proven1 unquestionably4 ,but
 we will do so again1 for the purpose of
 showing what that curse was1 and what  
it did effect1 and why this order of    
extermination4 ,canaan was the father of
 all these ites4 ,nine are first        
specifically named1 and then it is      
added1 and who afterward1 were the      
families of the ,canaanite spread       
abroad4 ,was not ,canaan as much and no 
more the father of these ites1 than he  
was of ,sidon and ,heth8 ,certainly4    
,then why doom them and their flocks and
 herds to extermination1 and except the 
families of ,sidon and ,heth1 his two   
other sons8 ,were they morally any      

better1 except as to their not being the
 progeny of amalgamation with negroes8  
,they were not4 ,then why save one and  
doom the other8 ,if these ites were no  
worse morally than the children of      
,sidon and ,heth1 then it is plain1 that
 we must seek the reason for their      
destruction1 in something besides moral 
delinquency8 ,let us see if we can find 
that something8 ,the ,bible tells us1   
that ,god in one of his interviews with 
,abraham1 informed him that all that    
land 7including all those ites7 should  
be his and his seed's after him--that   
his seed shall be strangers in a land   
not theirs1 and be afflicted four       
hundred years1 and thou shalt go to thy 
fathers in peace2 but in the fourth     
generation they shall come hither again1
 for the iniquity of the ,amorites      
7these representing all the ites71 is   
not yet full4  ,in the fourth generation
 their cup of iniquity would then be    
full--in the fourth generation ,god gave
 this order to exterminate these ites1  

and to leave nothing alive that         
breathes4 ,if this filling of their cup1
 referred to moral crimes to be         
committed1 or to moral obliquity as     
such1 then it is very strange4 ,if this 
be its reference1 then these people     
were1 at that time 7four generations    
previous to this order for their        
extermination71 worse than the very     
devil himself1 as it was not long before
 they did fill their cup1 and the       
devil's cup is not full yet4 ,if this   
filling up of iniquity1 referred to     
their moral conduct in the sight of     
,god1 how was ,moses or ,joshua to see  
that it was full1 or when it was full8  
,yet1 they must know it1 or they would  
not know when to commence exterminating1
 as ,god intended4 ,how were they to    
know it8 ,as in the case of ,sodom they 
had a few ,lots among them1 and the     
color would soon tell when their        
iniquity was full1 and neither ,moses   
nor ,joshua would be at any loss when to
 begin1 or who to exterminate4          

,consummated amalgamation would tell    
when their cup of iniquity was full4    
,the iniquity of the ,amorites 7these   
representing all7 is not yet full1 is   
the language of ,god--in the fourth     
generation it will be full1 and then    
,abraham's seed should possess the land1
 and these ites be exterminated4 ,let us
 inquire8 ,does not each generation1    
morally stand before ,god1 on their own 
responsibility in regard to sin8        
,certainly they do4 ,how then1 could the
 cumulative sins of one generation be   
passed to the next succeeding one1 to   
their moral injury or detriment8        
,impossible6 ,but the iniquity here     
spoken of1 could be so transmitted2 and 
at the time when ,god said it1 he tells 
us that it required four generations to 
make the iniquity full4 ,what crime but 
the amalgamation of ,adam's sons1 the   
children of ,god1 with the              
negro--beasts--called by ,adam men1     
could require four generations to fill  
up their iniquity1 but this crime of    

amalgamation8 ,none4 ,then we know the  
iniquity1 and what ,god then thought and
 yet thinks of it4  ,nor is this all the
 evidence the ,bible furnishes1 of      
,god's utter abhorrence of this crime1  
and his decided disapprobation of the   
negro1 in those various attempts to     
elevate him to social1 political and    
religious equality with the white race4 
,in the laws delivered by ,god1 to      
,moses1 for the children of ,israel1 he 
expressly enacts and charges1 that no   
man having a flat nose1 shall approach  
unto his altar4 ,this includes the whole
 negro race2 and expressly excludes them
 from coming to his altar1 for any act  
of worship4 ,god would not have their   
worship then1 nor accept their          
sacrifices or oblations--they should not
 approach his altar2 but all of ,adam's 
race could4 ,for ,adam's children ,god  
set up his altar1 and for their benefit 
ordained the sacrifices2 but not for the
 race of flat-nosed men1 and such the   
negro race is4 ,and who shall gainsay1  

or who dare gainsay1 that what ,god does
 is not right8 ,the first attempt at the
 social equality of the negro1 with     
,adam's race1 brought the flood upon the
 world--the second1 brought confusion   
and dispersion--the third1 the fire of  
,god's wrath1 upon the cities of the    
plain--the fourth1 the order from ,god1 
to exterminate the nations of the       
,canaanites--the fifth1 the inhibition  
and exclusion1 by express law of ,god1  
of the flat-nosed negro from his altar4 
,will the people of the ,united ,states1
 now furnish the sixth8 ,nous verrons4  
,there remains now but one other point  
to prove1 and that is--,that the negro  
has no soul4 ,this can only be done by  
the express word of ,god4 ,any authority
 short of this1 will not do4 ,but if    
,god says so1 then all the men1 and all 
the reasonings of men on earth1 can not 
change it2 for it is not in man's power 
to give a soul to any being on earth1   
where ,god has given none4  ,it will be 
borne in mind that we have shown1 beyond

 the power of contradiction1 that the   
descendants of ,shem and ,japheth1 from 
the present day back to the days of our 
,saviour1 and from our ,saviour's time  
back to ,noah1 their father1 that they  
were all long1 straight-haired1 high    
foreheads1 high noses1 and belong to the
 white race of ,adam4 ,in the case of   
,ham1 the other brother1 there is1 or   
has been1 a dispute4 ,it is contended1  
generally1 by the learned world1 that   
,ham is the progenitor of the negro race
 of this our day1 and that1 such being  
the case1 the negro is our social1      
political and religious equal--brother2 
and which he would be1 certainly1 if    
this were true4 ,the learned world1     
however1 sees the difficulty of how ,ham
 could be the progenitor of a race so   
distinct from that of ,ham's family2 and
 proceed upon their own assumptions1 but
 without one particle of ,bible         
authority for doing so1 to account why  
,ham's descendants should now have kinky
 heads1 low foreheads1 flat noses1 thick

 lips1 and black skin 7not to mention   
the exceptions to his leg and foot71    
which they charge to the curse denounced
 by ,noah1 not against ,ham1 but against
 ,ham's youngest son--,canaan4 ,but1 to 
sustain their theory1 they further      
assume that this curse was intended for 
,ham1 and not ,canaan2 and they do this 
right in the teeth of the ,bible and its
 express assertions to the contrary4    
,forgetting or overlooking the fact     
that1 confining its application to      
,canaan1 as the ,bible expressly says1  
yet they ignore the fact that ,canaan   
had two white sons--,sidon and          
,heth--and that it was impossible for   
the curse to have made a negro such as  
we now have1 or to have exerted any     
influence upon either color1 hair1 etc42
 as these two sons of ,canaan1 and their
 posterity1 are shown1 unequivocally1 to
 have been1 and yet are1 in their       
descendants1 white4 ,the learned world1 
seeing the difficulties of the position1
 and the weakness of their foundation   

for such a tremendous superstructure as 
they were rearing on this supposed curse
 of ,ham1 by his father1 undertake to   
prop it up by saying that ,ham's name   
means black in ,hebrew2 and1 as the     
negro is black1 therefore it is that the
 name and the curse together made the   
negro1 such as we now have on earth4    
,and1 although the ,bible nowhere says1 
and nowhere charges1 or even intimates1 
that ,ham is or was the progenitor of   
the negro2 and in defiance of the fact  
that no such curse was ever denounced   
against ,ham1 as they allege--nor can it
 be found in the ,bible2 yet they       
boldly1 on these assumptions and        
contradictions1 go on to say that ,ham  
is the father of the negro of the       
present day4 ,contradicting the ,bible2 
contradicting the whole order of nature 
as ordained by ,god himself--that like  
will produce its like2 contradicting the
 effect of every curse narrated in the  
,bible1 whether pronounced by ,god1 or  
by patriarch1 or by prophet2 and        

assuming that it did that1 in this case 
of ,noah1 which it had never done before
 nor since--that it did change ,ham from
 a white man to a black negro4          
,forgetting or setting aside the        
declaration of the ,bible1 that ,ham and
 his brothers were the children of one  
father and one mother1 who were perfect 
in their genealogies from ,adam1 and    
that they were white1 they assume again1
 that the ,bible forgot to tell us that 
,ham was turned into a negro for        
accidentally seeing his father naked in 
his tent4 ,tremendous judgment1 for so  
slight an offense6 ,we do not ask if    
this is probable2 but we do ask1 if it  
is within the bounds of possibility to  
believe it8 ,did not the daughters of   
,lot see the nakedness of their father  
in a much more unseemly manner8 ,ham    
seeing his father so1 seems altogether  
accidental2 theirs deliberately sought4 
,and on this flimsy1 self-stultifying   
theory1 the learned of the world build  
their faith--that ,ham is the progenitor

 of the negro6 ,while1 on the other     
hand1 by simply taking ,ham's           
descendants--those known to be his      
descendants now1 and known as much so   
and as positively as that we know the   
descendants1 at the present day1 of     
,shem and ,japheth--that by thus taking 
up ,ham's descendants of this day1 we   
find them like his brothers'            
children--with long1 straight hair1 high
 foreheads1 high noses1 thin lips1 and1 
indeed1 every lineament that marks the  
white race of his brothers1 ,shem and   
,japheth2 that we can trace him1 with   
history in hand1 from this day back1    
step by step1 to the ,bible record1 with
 as much positive certainty as we can   
the descendants of his brothers2 that1  
with the ,bible record after1 we can    
trace him back to his father1 ,noah1    
with equal absolute certainty1 no one   
will deny1 nor dare deny1 who regards   
outside concurrent history1 of admitted 
authenticity and the ,bible1 as         
competent witnesses in the case2 that   

the testimony in regard to ,ham and his 
descendants being of the white race1 is 
more overwhelming and convincing than   
that of ,japheth--and none doubt        
,japheth's being of the white race2 that
 ,god himself1 foreseeing the slander   
that after ages would attempt to throw  
on ,ham1 as being the father of the     
kinky-headed1 flat-nosed and            
black-skinned negro1 caused a whole     
nation to do one thing1 and that one    
thing had never been done before1 nor by
 any other nation since1 and that he    
caused them to continue doing that one  
thing for centuries1 and for no other   
purpose in ,god's providence1 that we   
can see1 but for the alone purpose of   
proving the identity of ,ham's children1
 from the flood downward1 for more than 
twenty-three centuries1 and that they1  
thus identified1 were of the white race2
 and that this embalmment of ,ham's     
children was so intended1 as evidence by
 ,god2 that like1 as the ,jewish        
genealogical tables served to identify  

,jesus of ,nazareth as the ,messiah1 so 
this embalming of the children of       
,mizraim1 the second son of ,ham1 serves
 to identify his descendants as         
belonging to the white race2 and that1  
like the ,jewish tables of genealogy1   
when they had accomplished the end      
designed by ,god1 they both ceased1 and 
at one and the same time4  ,mizraim     
settled what is now called ,egypt4 ,he  
embalmed his dead4 ,where did he get the
 idea from8 ,no nation or people had    
ever done it before2 none have done it  
since4 ,it was a very difficult thing to
 accomplish1 to preserve human bodies   
after death2 and to preserve them to    
last for thousands of years1 was still  
more difficult4 ,how did ,mizraim come  
to a knowledge of the ingredients to be 
used1 and how to use them8 ,yet he did  
it1 and did it at once4 ,the only       
satisfactory answer to these questions1 
is1 that ,god inspired him4 ,then1 it is
 ,god's testimony1 vindicating his son  
,ham from the aspersions of men--that he

 was a negro1 or the father of negroes4 
,ye learned men of this age--you who    
have contributed1 by your learned       
efforts1 and by your noble but mistaken 
philanthropy1 innocently1 honestly and  
sincerely as they were made1 but        
wrongfully done--to fix and fasten on   
,ham this gross slander1 that he is the 
father of the present race of negroes1  
must reexamine your grounds for so      
believing heretofore1 and now set       
yourselves right4 ,god's ,bible is      
against your views2 concurrent history  
is against them3 the existing race of   
,ham is against them3 ,god's living     
testimony is against them1 in the dead  
children of ,mizraim1 embalmed ever     
since the flood1 but now brought forth  
into the light of day1 and testifying   
for ,ham1 that he and his descendants   
were and yet are of the white race4 ,you
 must now come forth and abandon your   
fortress of assumptions1 for here that  
citadel falls2 for1 if ,ham is not the  
father of the negro 7which is shown to  

be an impossibility7 then the negro came
 out of the ark1 and as we now find him2
 and if he came out of the ark1 then he 
must have been in the ark2 and if he was
 in the ark1 which1 by the logic of     
facts1 we know he was--now let us read  
the ,bible1 the divine record and see   
whether or not the negro has a soul4 ,it
 reads thus3 ,when the long-suffering of
 ,god waited1 in the days of ,noah1     
while the ark was preparing1 wherein    
few1 that is eight souls1 were saved2   
the negro being in the ark1 was not one 
of those eight souls1 and consequently  
he has no soul to be saved--the ,bible  
and ,god's inspiration being judge4     
,carping is vain1 against ,god4 ,his    
order will stand1 whether pleasing or   
displeasing to any on earth4 ,but ,god  
only promised to save eight--,noah and  
his wife1 and his three sons and their  
wives4 ,these had souls1 as the apostle 
7,peter7 testifies1 and all that were in
 the ark that did have souls4 ,the negro
 was in the ark2 and ,god thus testifies

 that he has no soul4  ,one point more4 
,god has set a line of demarcation so   
ineffaceable1 so indelible besides      
color1 and so plain1 between the        
children of ,adam and ,eve whom he      
endowed with immortality1 and the negro 
who is of this earth only1 that none can
 efface1 and none so blind as not to see
 it4 ,and this line of demarcation is1  
that ,adam and his race being endowed by
 ,god with souls1 that a sense of       
immortality ever inspires them and sets 
them to work2 and the one race builds   
what he hopes is to last for ages1 his  
houses1 his palaces1 his temples1 his   
towers1 his monuments1 and from the     
earliest ages after the flood4 ,not so  
the other1 the negro2 as left to        
himself1 as ,mizraim was1 he builds     
nothing for ages to come2 but like any  
other beast or animal of earth1 his     
building is only for the day4 ,the one  
starts his building on earth1 and builds
 for immortality1 reaching toward       
,heaven1 the abode of his ,god2 the     

other also starting his building on     
earth1 builds nothing durable1 nothing  
permanent--only for present necessity1  
and which goes down1 down1 as everything
 merely animal must forever do4 ,such   
are the actions of the two races1 when  
left to themselves1 as all their works  
attest4 ,subdue the negro as we do the  
other animals1 and like them1 teach them
 all we can2 then turn them loose1 free 
them entirely from the restraints and   
control of the white race1 and1 just    
like all other animals or beasts so     
treated1 back to his native nature and  
wildness and barbarism and the worship  
of dmons1 he will go4 ,not so with      
,adam's children3 ,starting from the    
flood1 they began to build for          
,eternity4 ,ham1 the slandered ,ham1    
settled on the ,nile1 in the person of  
his son ,mizraim1 and built cities1     
monuments1 temples and towers of        
surpassing magnificence and endurance2  
and here1 too1 with them1 he started all
 the arts and sciences that have since  

covered ,europe and ,america with       
grandeur and glory4 ,even ,solomon1     
whose name is a synonym for wisdom1 when
 about to build the ,temple1 instructed 
as he was by his father ,david1 as to   
how ,god had told him the ,temple was to
 be built2 yet he1 notwithstanding his  
wisdom1 was warned of ,god1 and he sent 
to ,hiram1 ,king of ,tyre1 for a workman
 skilled in all the science of          
architecture and cunning in all its     
devices and ornaments1 to raise and     
build that structure designed for the   
visible glory of ,god on earth4 ,and    
,hiram1 ,king of ,tyre1 sent him a      
widow's son1 named ,hiram ,abiff2 and   
who was ,grand ,master of the workmen4  
,he built the ,temple and adorned it1   
and was killed a few months before      
,solomon consecrated it4 ,this ,hiram1  
,king of ,tyre1 and this ,hiram ,abiff1 
although the mother of the latter was a 
,jewess1 were descendants of this       
slandered ,ham4 ,now1 we ask1 is it     
reasonable to suppose that ,god would   

call1 or would suffer to be called1 a   
descendant of ,ham to superintend and   
build his ,temple1 and erect therein his
 altar1 if ,hiram ,abiff had been a     
negro8--a flat-nosed negro1 whom he had 
expressly forbidden to approach his     
altar8 ,the idea is entirely            
inconsistent with ,god's dealings with  
men4 ,god thus1 then1 testifying in     
calling this son of ,ham to build his   
,temple1 his appreciation of ,ham and   
his race4  ,now1 let us sum up what is  
written in this paper3 ,we have shown1  
7#a47 ,that ,ham was not made a negro1  
neither by his name1 nor the curse 7or  
the supposed curse7 of his father ,noah4
 7#b47 ,we have shown that the people of
 ,india1 ,china1 ,turkey1 ,egypt        
7,copts71 now have long1 straight hair1 
high foreheads1 high noses and every    
lineament of the white race2 and that   
these are the descendants of ,ham4 7#c47
 ,that1 therefore1 it is impossible that
 ,ham could be the father of the present
 race of ,negroes4 7#d47 ,that this is  

sustained by ,god himself causing       
,mizraim to embalm his dead1 from       
directly after the flood and to continue
 it for twenty-three centuries2 and that
 these mummies now show ,ham's children 
to have long1 straight hair1 etc41 and  
the lineaments alone of the white race4 
7#e47 ,that ,shem1 ,ham and ,japheth    
being white1 proves that their father   
and mother were white4 7#f47 ,that ,noah
 and his wife being white and perfect in
 their genealogy1 proves that ,adam and 
,eve were white1 and therefore          
impossible that they could be the       
progenitors of the kinky-headed1        
black-skinned negroes of this day4 7#g47
 ,that1 therefore1 as neither ,adam nor 
,ham was the progenitor of the negro1   
and the negro being now on earth1       
consequently we know that he was created
 before ,adam1 as certainly and as      
positively as we know that the horse and
 every other animal were created before 
him2 as ,adam and ,eve were the last    
beings created by ,god4 7#h47 ,that the 

negro being created before ,adam1       
consequently he is a beast in ,god's    
nomenclature2 and being a beast1 was    
under ,adam's rule and dominion1 and1   
like all other beasts or animals1 has no
 soul4 7#i47 ,that ,god destroyed the   
world by a flood1 for the crime of the  
amalgamation1 or miscegenation of the   
white race 7whom he had endowed with    
souls and immortality71 with negroes1   
mere beasts without souls and without   
immortality1 and producing thereby a    
class 7not race71 but a class of beings 
that were neither human nor beasts4     
7#aj47 ,that this was a crime against   
,god that could not be expiated1 and    
consequently could not be forgiven by   
,god1 and never would be2 and that its  
punishment in the progeny is on earth1  
and by death4 7#aa47 ,that this was     
shown at ,babel1 ,sodom and ,gomorrah1  
and the extermination of the nations of 
the ,canaanites1 and by ,god's law to   
,moses4 7#ab47 ,that ,god will not      
accept religious worship from the negro1

 as he has expressly ordered that no man
 having a flat nose1 shall approach his 
altar2 and the negroes have flat noses4 
7#ac47 ,that the negro has no soul1 is  
shown by express authority of ,god1     
speaking through the ,apostle ,peter by 
divine inspiration4  ,the intelligent   
can not fail to discover who was the    
tempter in the garden of ,eden4 ,it was 
a beast1 a talking beast--a beast that  
talked naturally--if it required a      
miracle to make it talk 7as our learned 
men suppose1 and as no one could then   
perform a miracle but ,god only and if  
he performed this miracle to make a     
snake1 a serpent1 talk1 and to talk only
 with ,eve1 and that as soon as the     
serpent 787 seduced ,eve into eating the
 forbidden fruit1 ,god then performed   
another miracle to stop his speaking    
afterward1 that if this be true71 then  
it follows beyond contradiction1 that   
,god is the immediate and direct author 
or cause of sin3 an idea that can not be
 admitted for one moment1 by any        

believer in the ,bible4 ,god called it a
 beast--more subtile than all the beasts
 the ,lord ,god had made4 ,as ,adam was 
the federal head of all his posterity1  
as well as the real head1 so was this   
beast1 the negro1 the federal head of   
all beasts and cattle1 etc41 down to    
creeping things--to things that go upon 
the belly and eat dust all the days of  
their life4 ,if all the beasts1 cattle1 
etc41 were not involved in the sin of   
their federal head1 why did ,god destroy
 them at the flood8 ,if the crime that  
brought destruction on the world was the
 sin of ,adam's race alone1 why destroy 
the innocent beasts1 cattle1 etc48 ,when
 all things were created1 ,god not only 
pronounced them good1 but very good2    
then why destroy these innocent 787     
beasts1 cattle1 etc41 for ,adam's sin or
 wrong-doing8 ,but1 that these beasts1  
etc41 were involved in the same sin with
 ,adam1 is positively plain1 from one   
fact alone1 among others1 and that fact 
is3 ,that before the fall of ,adam in   

the garden1 all was peace and harmony   
among and between all created beings and
 things4 ,after the fall1 strife1       
contention and war ensued1 as much among
 the beasts1 cattle1 etc41 as with the  
posterity of ,adam2 and continues so to 
the present time4 ,why should ,god thus 
afflict them for another's crime1 if    
they were free and innocent of that     
crime8 ,god told ,adam1 on the day of   
his creation1 to have dominion over     
everything living that moveth upon the  
earth3 but to ,noah1 after the flood1 he
 uses very different language2 for1     
while he told ,noah to be fruitful and  
multiply and replenish the earth1 the   
same as he said to ,adam1 yet he adds1  
and the fear of you and the dread of you
 shall be upon every beast of the earth1
 etc41 and all that moveth upon the     
earth1 etc42 into thy hands are they    
delivered4 ,if these had continued in   
their primeval goodness1 wholly         
unconnected with ,adam's sin1 is it     
reasonable to suppose that ,god would   

have used the language toward them1 that
 he did in his instructions to ,noah8   
,it is impossible6 ,the intelligent can 
also see the judgments of ,god on this  
unforgivable sin1 at the flood1 at      
,babel1 at ,sodom and ,gomorrah1 and on 
the ,canaanites1 and in his law2 and    
they may profit by the example4 ,they   
can see the exact time 7,a4,m4 #bce71   
when men--the negro--erected the first  
altar on earth2 they had seen ,adam1    
,cain1 ,abel1 and ,seth1 erect altars   
and call on the name of the ,lord4      
,they1 too1 could imitate them2 they did
 then imitate2 they then built their    
altars2 they then called an the name of 
the ,lord2 they are yet imitating2 they 
are yet profaning the name of the ,lord1
 by calling on his name4 ,and you1 the  
people of the ,united ,states1 are      
upholding this profanity4 ,who was it   
that caused ,god to repent and to be    
grieved at his heart1 that he had made  
man8 ,will you place yourselves         
alongside of that being1 and against    

,god8 ,all analogy says you will6 ,but  
remember1 that the righteous will       
escape--the hardened alone will perish4 
,the ways of ,god are always consistent1
 when understood1 and always just and   
reasonable4 ,it is a curious fact1 but a
 fact1 nevertheless1 and fully sustained
 by the ,bible2 and that fact is this2  
,that ,god never conferred1 and never   
designed to confer1 any great blessing  
on the human family1 but what he always 
selects or selected a white slaveholder 
or one of a white slaveholding nation1  
as the medium1 by or through which that 
blessing should reach them4 ,why he has 
done so1 is not material to discuss now2
 but the fact1 that he always did so1   
the ,bible abundantly proves4 ,abraham1 
the father of the faithful1 and in whom 
and his seed all the families of the    
earth were to be blessed1 is a notable  
instance of this truth4 ,for ,abraham   
owned three hundred and eighteen slaves4
 ,and the ,saviour of the world was of a
 white slaveholding nation2 and they    

held slaves by ,god's own laws1 and not 
by theirs4 ,and how has it been in      
respect of our own nation and           
government1 the ,united ,states8 ,a     
government now declared by thousands of 
lips1 latterly1 to be the best1 the very
 best1 that has ever been in the world4 
,who made this government8 ,who         
established it and its noble principles8
 ,let us appeal to history4 ,the first  
attack on ,british power1 and the       
aggressions of its parliament1 ever made
 on this continent1 was made by a       
slaveholder1 from a slave state1        
,patrick ,henry1 ,may #cj1 #agfe4 ,the  
first president of the first congress1  
that ever assembled on this continent1  
to consider of the affairs of the       
thirteen colonies1 and which met in     
,philadelphia1 ,september #e1 #aggd1 was
 a slave owner from a slave state1      
,peyton ,randolph4 ,the only secretary  
that congress ever had1 was a slave     
owner from a slave state1 ,charles      
,thompson4 ,the gentleman who was       

chairman of the committee of the whole1 
on ,saturday1 the #hth of ,june1 #aggf1 
and who1 on the morning of the #ajth    
reported the resolutions1 that the      
thirteen colonies1 of right ought to be 
free and independent states1 was a      
slaveholder from a slave state1         
,benjamin ,harrison4 ,the same gentlemen
 again1 as chairman of the committee of 
the whole1 reported the ,declaration of 
,independence in form2 and to which he  
affixed his signature1 on ,thursday1    
,july #d1 #aggf4 ,the gentleman who     
wrote the ,declaration of ,independence1
 was a slave owner1 from a slave state1 
,thomas ,jefferson4 ,the gentleman who  
was selected to lead their armies1 as   
commander-in-chief1 and who did lead    
them successfully1 to victory and the   
independence of the country1 was a slave
 owner1 from a slave state1 ,george     
,washington4 ,the gentleman who was     
president of the convention1 to form the
 constitution of the ,united ,states1   
was a slave holder1 from a slave state1 

,george ,washington4 ,the gentleman who 
wrote the constitution of the ,united   
,states 7making it the best government  
ever formed on earth71 was a slave      
owner1 from a slave state1 ,james       
,madison4 ,the first president of the   
,united ,states1 under that             
constitution1 and who1 under ,god gave  
it strength1 consistency and power      
before the world1 was a slave owner1    
from a slave state1 ,george ,washington2
 and these were all white men and slave 
owners2 and whatever of peace1          
prosperity1 happiness and glory1 the    
people of the ,united ,states have      
enjoyed under it1 have been from the    
administration of the government1 by    
presidents elected by the people1 of    
slave holders1 from slave states4       
,whenever the people have elected a     
president from a non-slaveholding state1
 commencing with the elder ,adams1 and  
down to ,mr4 ,lincoln1 confusion1       
wrangling and strife have been the order
 of the day1 until it culminated in the 

greatest civil war the world has ever   
beheld1 under the last named gentleman4 
,why this has been so is not in the line
 of our subject4 ,we mention it as a    
matter of history1 to confirm the ,bible
 fact1 that ,god always selects         
slaveholders1 or from a slaveholding    
nation1 the media through which he      
confers his blessings on mankind4 ,would
 it not be wisdom to heed it now8  ,one 
reflection and then we are done4 ,the   
people of the ,united ,states have now  
thrust upon them1 the question of negro 
equality1 social1 political and         
religious4 ,how will they decide it8 ,if
 they decide it one way1 then they will 
make the sixth cause of invoking ,god's 
wrath1 once again on the earth4 ,they   
will begin to discover this approaching 
wrath3 7#a47 ,by ,god bringing          
confusion4 7#b47 ,by his breaking the   
government into pieces1 or fragments1 in
 which the negro will go and settle with
 those that favor this equality4 7#c47  
,in ,god pouring out the fire of his    

wrath1 on this portion of them2 but in  
what way1 or in what form1 none can tell
 until it comes1 only that in severity  
it will equal in intensity and torture1 
the destruction of fire burning them up4
 7#d47 ,the states or people that favor 
this equality and amalgamation of the   
white and black races1 ,god will        
exterminate4 ,to make the negro1 the    
political1 social and religious equal of
 the white race by law1 by statute and  
by constitutions1 can easily be effected
 in words2 but so to elevate the negro  
jure divino1 is simply impossible4 ,you 
can not elevate a beast to the level of 
a son of ,god--a son of ,adam and       
,eve--but you may depress the sons of   
,adam and ,eve1 with their impress of   
the ,almighty1 down to the level of a   
beast4 ,god has made one for            
immortality1 and the other to perish    
with the animals of the earth4 ,the     
antediluvians once made this depression4
 ,will the people of the ,united ,states
 make another1 and the last8 ,yes1 they 

will1 for a large majority of the ,north
 are unbelievers in the ,bible2 and this
 paper will make a large number of their
 clergy deists and atheists4 ,a man can 
not commit so great an offense against  
his race1 against his country1 against  
his ,god1 in any other way1 as to give  
his daughter in marriage to a negro--a  
beast--or to take one of their females  
for his wife4 ,as well might he in the  
sight of ,god1 wed his child to any     
other beast of forest or of field4 ,this
 crime can not be expiated--it never has
 been expiated on earth--and from its   
nature never can be1 and1 consequently1 
never was forgiven by ,god1 and never   
will be4 ,the negro is now free4 ,there 
are but two things on earth1 that may be
 done with him now1 and the people and  
government of this country escape       
destruction4 ,one or the other ,god will
 make you do1 or make you accept his    
punishment1 as he made ,babel1 ,sodom   
and ,gomorrah1 and the ,canaanites1     
before you4 ,you must send him back to  

,africa or re-enslave him4 ,the former  
is the best1 far the best4 ,now1 which  
will my countrymen do8 ,i do not say    
fellow-citizens1 as ,i regard myself but
 as a sojourner in the land1 whose every
 political duty is now performed by     
obeying your laws1 be they good or      
bad--not voting1 nor assisting others in
 making your laws4 ,will my countrymen1 
in deciding for themselves these        
questions1 remember--will they remember1
 that the first law of liberty is       
obedience to ,god4 ,without this        
obedience to the great and noble        
principles of ,god1 truth1 righteousness
 and justice1 there can be no liberty1  
no peace1 no prosperity1 no happiness in
 any earthly government--if these are   
sacrificed or ignored1 ,god will        
overturn and keep overturning1 until    
mankind learn his truth1 justice and    
mercy1 and conform to them4  ,to the    
people of the ,south1 we say1 obedience 
to ,god is better than all sacrifices4  
,you have sacrificed all your negroes4  

,it was your ancestors1 that ,god made  
use of to form this noblest of all human
 governments--no others could do it4 ,do
 not be cast down at what has happened1 
and what is yet to happen--,god will yet
 use you to reinstate and remodel this  
government1 on its just and noble       
principles and at the proper time4 ,the 
,north can never do it4 ,these are      
perilous times--the impending decisions 
will be against you1 and against ,god4  
,but keep yourselves free from this     
sin--do not by your acts1 nor by your   
votes1 invite the negro equality--if it 
is forced upon you1 as it will be--obey 
the laws--remembering that ,god will    
protect the righteous2 and that his     
truth1 like itself1 will always be      
consistent1 and like its ,author1 will  
be always and forever triumphant4 ,the  
finger of ,god is in this4 ,trust him4

been found embalmed on the ,nile1 but

later dates4
