CAPABILITIES OF THS NEGRO. I
P'oru a volume recently publi bed by
ShihuvI White 13nk?r, entitled, "Qrent
itMxiu of the Nile, and Exploration of the
Nile Source?," we rnnke tlu> following vx?
tract. Mr. lbtlser is aa Englishman, riu!
having enjoyed such abundant opportunity
during hift travel* iti Afr<j:? of funning an
/opinion, hid unpHitul estimate desetvei to
be weig! cd;
"Tbe black mnn is a curious anomaly,

udieiily confounds you by an unexpected
exhibition of sympathy. From * long <-x
perinncce with African 8;ivage<, I think it
is *s absurd to condemn llie negro itt tola
>?? it is preposterous to compare liib intellectual
capacity with that of the white
man. It is unfortunately the fashion for
ouu pariv to uplioid the negro as a supetior
being, while the other denies iiiin the com
inon power* of reason. So great a d.flk. nce
of opinion has ever existed upon the
intrinsic value of the negro, that the very
perplexity of the question i9 a proof that
be is altogether adis'.iucl variety.. So long
s it is generally considered that the negro
and tho white man are to be governed by
the same laws and gUidei bv tl 0 snme
management, so 1 ng will the for iierrc
main (* thorn in the side of r-v?.?ry cotnniuTjity
to which he may unhappily lnl?n<;.
When the horse atid the ass shall be found
to match in double harness, the white in tn
and the African black will pull together
under the *Hii;e regime. It u the gran I
error of eq'wilizing tii>it which is t?n?*q*sa',
til'it low lowered the n^gro character, unu
made the bia k man a reproach.
