are of the same cold blood, they all come from one common ancestor; when it is notoriously known that all the varieties of them are, and always have been, widely different, in form, size, color, &c, from each other. Some are covered with shells, some with smooth skins; some with small and otherg with large scales; some are short, broad and flat; others are long and round; and, moreover, some are viviperous and others are oviperous. And God has fixed the climatic bounds of their habitations and the habitations of other lower orders of the animal Kingdom, as definitely as Europe is fixed upon for Europeans; Asia for Asiatics; Africa for Africans, and America for Americans.
The frigid zone bounds the habitations of certain land animals—such as the Polar Bear, Reindeer and Arctic Fox. The arctic sea bounds the habitations of certain sea animals—such as the Northren Whale, Walrus and Seal; and the temperate and torrid zones, each bound, with equal definitiveness, the habitations of other sea, land and acquatic animals.
But, if viewed literally, on this point, a scientific chemical analysis of the blood of the black and white Races, has demonstrated the fact that they are not of one blood, because the blood of the Black man is essentially, and materially, different from the blood of the white man—it is thinner, darker, lower in temperature, different in its globules and in its coagulation; and is more venous and carbonaceous, than his. And, hence, in that view, the facts involved, forbid the interpretation claimed by the advocates of the unity of the Races.
If the expression is construed to apply to the two Races, as being the same, in disposition, in intellect, or in religion, it is, in either case, emphatically untrue; because the disposition of the white man is, comparatively, grave or sedate; while that of the black man is volatile. In the comparative strength of
