The study of the human character, and to know it at a glance, should be pursued in phrenology, and more especially, in physiognomy. Versed or not versed in these sciences, our natures, however, tell us what personages are perfect as human nature can be, and what in them we like and can not avoid; though these sciences aid and abet man to further his knowledge of human purpose and human will! Woman is the great archetype in physiognomy,-for to her above all else, we look for perfect or imperfect humanity,—and these two conditions of man depend on what specimens of humanity, or likenesses are constantly kept before her during gestation! Though the woman and the man should have honest and intellectual countenances, it will not always follow that their offsprings will have the same, if during gestation, a thief or a robber with his peculiar physiognomy, was constantly kept in view before her, and she should bear him in mind. She would, most assuredly, mold her offspring like him; and hence it is so through the whole circle of animated nature, to a much greater extent, than we, at first in the stage of life, imagine. For instance, if you wish to see a human form resemble, in a mental and physical sense, a bull-dog, see one of short and thick neck; and if one should wish to see one possessed of thieving propensities naturally, see his forehead project back fully at an angle of forty-five degrees! And thus by certain fixed rules seemingly arrived at by intuition, we know the human family at a glance, their character, their force, their purpose, their will, and their magnanimity! By such knowledge, we should choose

men to fill high positions, deputized by us, for our safe keeping, and learn to have courage and manliness to distrust what our natures would shudder at. This is true moral courage, and should be practiced. There is no chance work about man; yet his form, and especially his physiological features depend most wholly on the mother, having in mind and in sight, perfect figures of humanity, during the incipient stage of gestation'; otherwise, if there be no influence by this means, why is it that we see some marked, as if by the fright of the mother, or by what preys on her mind during that stage? The mind unquestionably gives caste to the form of the features, with reference to the countenanee; and hence it is the province of woman to improve man, by keeping before herself in mind and sight, the most distinguished heads for ability and mental capacities, during that eventful stage for good or evil!

In this dissertation thus far we have endeavored to define the natural laws governing man, and those which govern progressive existences of color, possessing degrees of humanity. We have seen the difference in them in mind and reason, as we have been able to see the difference in them without reference to the objects for which they were created. The organic law of Creation was something, or it was nothing altogether, and we came by chance;-hence if it was something, it is so now, and its principles are just as imperative upon us at present, as if the creation only happened as of yesterday. This is a common sense view to take of the organic form of matter, as presented to our understandings by the Inspired Moses.

Common Sense is that power of the mind which, by a kind of instinct, or a short process of reasoning, perceives truth, the relation of things, cause and effect, etc.; and hence this enables the possessor to discern what is right, useful, expedient, or proper, and adopt the best means to accomplish his purpose. This power seems to be the gift of nature, improved by experience and observation. God said to nature, when he was about to form man out of the dust of the earth;-"Let us, that is, myself and nature, make man in our Image, after our Likeness." Hence, common sense is an attribute belonging to the Deity, and is given to man only,―he manifests it inasmuch as he advances to that perfection of Him, in whose Image and after whose Likeness he was created. Natural history, in the creation, is as perfect in its series in coming down or rising up, as the matter it represents, and each part had its relative position alloted to it; hence we see that man, the white man, and the female, were allotted a position nearest to their God, in whose Image and after whose Likeness man was created. Before us is a chart of Creation, and what evidence have we, according to common sense, that the white man or Caucasian was not located in Asia Minor;—that the Mongolian was not located in China;— that the Malay or Polenysian was not located in Southern Asia;—that the Indian was not located on the Continent of America;—and that the Negro or African was not located in Africa; inasmuch as every thing, whether inanimate or animate, was located at these respective points at the time of creation, or how could they have been borne there by any natural law?

God was, and is Supreme over this creation, and he made" the man and the female" to be his vicegerants on earth, with these attributes,-reason and common sense, which he manifests in the economy of nature. If these progressive existences of color, had been created with the attribute, common sense, as the white race was;—in all their doings, progress, advancements, and developments, they would not be now so dissimilar to us as they are in the scale of civilization and enlightenment. For had all been created equal as one family;—all would have had the same spur to have stimulated them to equal advancement and enlightenment. This is not the case, which history and travels demonstrate. Hence in reasoning, we see that the white race is the only one that has come up to the attribute,-common sense, toward perfection. This we see more clearly, when we contrast the arts and sciences, which distinguish man from the progressive existences of color. The study of authentic history, on this subject, informs us in part, making due allowances for the passions and prejudices of the writers. The standard of Common Sense, at which man should exert and stimulate his faculties to arrive at, is the book of nature. When we personify the vegetable kingdom, we see common sense and natural rights displayed in all their grandeur and magnificence, and governed by the organic law of God; otherwise, how would, or could they exist, were they like man with few exceptions, and the progressive existences of color, that jar and war with each other, while the latter not unfrequently feed on each other, when taken as captives in war. Common sense may be ap

plied to an idividual, when he indicates consistency and equanimity in action; and consequently the opposite, when he manifests the opposite. As it is so with individuals, thus it is with nations in their progress or decline! "In social and political affairs, that is right which is consonant to the laws and customs of a country, provided these laws and customs are not repugnant to the laws of God." Hence, we have proved slavery to be a Divine Institution, according to the first chapter of Genesis, and that the right of man to existences of color, to be consonant to the organic law, and command of God, as seen also in the same chapter. Therefore, this right to hold these colored existences, is a right organized with the creation, and is a divine heritage to man and to his heirs as we have heretofore clearly proved it to be; for it is coupled with common sense which is the most prominent attribute with the Deity. Any infringement on this right as possessed by man, is an infringement upon the organic law of God, and consequently, will meet his eternal damnation, with constant afflictions and disas ers! And in proof of this position, behold the retrograde movements of the West Indies, Mexico, Central and South America! They are fast returning to their original wild wastes; and thus it would be in the United States. When the Abolitionists are summoned to the bar of our God for their just sentence; the crimes they have caused to be committed; the innocent blood they have caused to flow; the widows and orphans that they have been the means of making; the desolation and waste, the immorality and vice, consequent upon their actions, will all ap
