The devil tea myth, and (led the remote cause of the beginning; after that development is God, and develop ment is almighty, aiwise, aud supreme benevolence. Philosophy is religion. Perfect intellectual and moral equality is proclaimed. Malt was not ltefore woman. There is no distinction lietween the t'uucassian, the Mongolian, and the Negro.— Here the equality of tlie two race*, white ami black, has been establish ed by law; though tlie inferiority of the latter is proved incontestibly by the fact that the lewder* of the freed torn are either of Caneussian or mixed-blood.
