Antagonism of Rare in America. The above is tho subject of n ver] Interesting article in a Into number o jBfaekievod't Ma go tint, in which th *writer tells some unpalatable truth for the benefit of our Northern breth ren. They are facts which t nnnot b< gaj^eayed, going to show-that prctcn dqi love to tho negro has been con jpfoed with bitter cruelty to the In ^Iaii Oll/l fliof ilt A nnli'/trr 4a Iwtf 1 jwwu) vuv j^rvuvj w wvti races has been dictated by unmitiga ted Belf&hncss. "Wi^i the Indian, tho warhaslastcc for tyore than three centuries and i not yet concluded. lie hH8 beei driven alike from the sca-bourd ant tho interior, from tho lnkos and th< Ckilf, and is being fast prossod to th< lopes of the Ilocky Mountains. O the powerful Indian tribes who onc< inhabited this country not more that 200,000 remain, and tho policy of to tal extermination has been seriouslj urged, as "the cheapest and most hu tuano method of managing Indiai affairs. With regard to the black man, th( policy of tho North, (whatovei may bo now pretended) has been evei dictated by something of tho sam< spirit?often times cruel, and at all times Belfish. Sho claims a monopoly ?fgood will to tho colored race. XJut what aro tho facts? Is slavery sinful ? Yet it seems thai tfeo very Puritans that landed in the JIayflowor ostcexned it a divino institution, and enslaved tho wives and iij ii- - T. i*. ?miuroa ui mho conquered inuianp ; and the North equally with tho South contributed to fix ithe institution of negro slavery upon .this country. ICc one at that day thought slavery was a sin or any thing elso than right and proper, and >tho modern ideas on the subject aro the fruit not so much ol philanthropy as of party politics, and economic views of sectional advancc mentv .

Tho whole Conservative f press of the country deprecate any reversal of tho decision ; especialI3* I as tho main object of tho reversal is I' to establish tho supremacy of Congress, and destroy all the limitations of the Constitution. For this verv rea t son all tho organs of a Hadical Con-j 1 grcss support it. Tho supremacy of - Congress is their favorite dogma,, 3 which they can only carry into ope1 ration by overthrowing tho Constitu. * tiou?that organic law which defines '* the powers, and proscribes tho liiniL tations of the co-ordinate departL meuts of tho Government. To do ? thiB. it is now nflccflcdrv in 5 tho Supremo Court, which is the 1 trao bulwark of tho Constitution.

But a sojourn on Saturday a any of theno littlo towns noon reveals the eaueo. Every nogro in ton miles of the placo is thero spending his money, mortgaging his crops, or throwing away bis earnings; aud the contract system in this Stnto generally seems to me to be, for tho planter to slive about as much for himself as will supply his necessary wants, and the "nigger" gets the balance, to be squandered as above. Of tho merchants who get theso earnings, I can only say their Shibboleth betrayeth them; they all seem to be preparing for a return to Pulestine, from tho manner they aro hording up thoir illgotten gains. A Jew in Alabama or Mississippi can sull a frcedman a yard of calico for "two bits" easier than a nutivo Christian can two yards for one bit. So wags this Western world uow-a-days. Corn generally has been plantod, and most men are anxious to begin planting cotton, but tho cold, wet Spring thus far has prevented, though I have seen several cotton fields planted, and often heard tho planter wishing his seed wero in tho gin house.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Euyle : ,The following Communication contributed by Mr. II. W. Itialc^-, to the Columns of the Brooklyn Eayle will 1 be read with interest by toir readers. Mr. Risley, paid a recent visit to our section, and several communications appeared in our paper from bin pen. Having spent the past winter in a somewhat extended tour through the Southern Atlantic States to the Gulf, visiting almost every section from the soaboard to the mountains; and having enjoyed facilities for learning the views and sentiments of all Classes and partios in regard to their present and prospective condition, nnd seen a vast amount of undeveloped wealth, I submit tho following statement, as the result of somoof mv observations, for tho information of thoso who feel anv interest in that seetion. And first, in regard to tho pooplc. Tho blacks, who arc tho most valuable laborers in the world, ivhen treated right, and especially for field services, at porno crop in thai cliraato? after having been cruelly tempted, imposed upon, and U6ed, by loyal demagogues?aro fast learning who are their truo friends, and finding their truo position. Tho intelligent and influential classes, who pay tho taxes for the support of government, although excluded from participating in its management, approve and cordially support every honest scheme for educating and improving the moral and physical condition of their colored fellnu*.Wt.i*nnB Tliftxrnlan inn)! ? ally welcomo every now-comer, from whatever land or scction, or calling of industry?except tho "political carpet-bag speculators," whom they as heartily despise. As in every other section, there outlaws and outrages, but with all tKo whiskey and flre-nrms ?which many of tho younger and more ignorant citizens of both colors 1 1 ? - " ? man Iiiciuciuivvn U1 "B1I1C0 Il'CCtlOfrl camo"?there are fower brawls and less danger to life or property in all Iho Southern States than there is in any of our larger Northern cities. True, there has been a good deal of petty thieving of pigs, chickens, &c? but the stories of Ku Klux outrages are mannfacturcd or colored up for political and speculative purposes, and they have had thoir effect. Thousands of Northern and Western men, who have had tho courage to trust thoir lives in that section, have made investments and are ongaging in entorprisos that will demonstrate the fact tho South offers greater inducements for the farmer, the manufacturer and the mechanic than any othor portion of the world. Tho invalid and those predisposed to certain hereditary diseases can find in the humid and temporate air of the seaboard, or in the bracing atmosphere of tbo hilly and mouutain ro;ioo, the Climate best adapted to bis :aeo. Tho agriculturist can find ovey variety of soil, and e*n grow eve*ything that can be produced in any tther paft of oar country, besides scvsri.l valuable staples that will grow io where olso.
