ff PREFACE.
: This work, the result of many years of patient
" study and investigation of the normal order of
American society, was published about the time of
.
Mr. Lincoln's election but the war that followed
; ;
rr that great calamity prevented any serious efforts
being made to give it a general circulation. It
is a plain, simple, and truthful exposition of the
natural order and social adaptation of the white and
negro races, as they existed in the Southern States,
- and indeed in all the States, save one, when the
Union was formed. It shows just what the census
6 returns show, that negroes having multiplied from
a half to four millions in less than a century, were
of necessity in their normal condition in the South
;
and it also shows, what the census returns show,
that in " freedom" they died out, and therefore, of
g necessity, were in an abnormal condition in the
^ North.rFurthermore, it shows that amalgamation, as
with varieties of our own race that come to us from
the Old World, is impossible ; and therefor3, human

governments can not exist an hour anywhere where
these widely different races are forced into legal
equality in approximate proportions. Finally, it
shows that even when both white and negro
become so debauched, degraded, and sinful as to
equalize and harmonize together, as we see with
Portuguese and Spaniards on this Continent, and
sometimes with individuals among ourselves, who
mate and mix their blood, their progeny become
sterile, diseased, rotten, and within a certain time,
utterly perish from the earth.) (Nevertheless, the
Northern States combined together in 1860, and took
possession of the common government, to force the
Southern States to practice their theories or "ideas"
on this subject, or, in other words, to doom the
Southern people to a fate more horrible than death
itself They now rule the South by military force,
!
and by the same force have torn four millions of ne-
groes from their normal condition, and are striving to
"reconstruct" American society on a Mongrel basis,
as in Mexico, Central America, etc. Or, in other
words, the Northern States have overthrown society
in the South, and the simple problem before this
—
generation is the mode of social restoration will it
be done through the common sense and reason of the
people, or through civil war, national bankruptcy,
years ol anarchy, and universal misery ? This
