A Natural Race Antipathy
The recent summary discharge of the three negro writers employed by the northern American Baptist Publication Society, simply, as acknowledged, because they are negroes, only adds one more to the innumerable instances that have, since the commencement of recorded history, demonstrated the fact that there is a natural race antipathy, that it exists in the North as well as in the South, and that a distinction made by God cannot be obliterated by man, and shows therefore that the protests of the negroes against it must be kicks against the pricks and attempts to resist the inevitable.
