HE NEGRO RAcE-Abolitionis and those who can sec so many evils and curses m African Slavery ,haye long labored to prove that the African race is capable of civilization ana that they are oppressed in this country But history cannot show period when the genuine negro was ever in condition so happy and Improved as he is as an American Slave. We know that 1t is customary with antl-slavery orators on this subject to point to ancient Ethiopia and Egypt, as a contra diclion of this But the Egyptians were far from being negroes and even the Philippians, their slaves, were superior to the tribes more Tn the interior of Africa. These points have been recently thoroughly elucidated by the researches of learned travellers among the antiquities of Egypt. Their discoveries have proven beyond doubt or contradiction the following facts:

 lst. That the original settlers of Egypt were white men of the great Caucasian fam fly.

 2d. That the arts and civilization of an- cent Egypt took their rise from the Caucas- lans; and the progress of improvement was from Asia to the Nile and up the Nile into the interior.

 Sd. That among these civilized white men in the earliest ages of the world, there were bIeck slaucs, with the very features and form ot the present negroes; and no doubt the identical race.

 These things then establish incontestbIy we think that the negro race have been slaves ever since the curse of Ham; and show the fatality of all undertakings to reverse the or, dinatons of Providence by making them any thing else. If not slaves to civilized whites they have ever been and ever will be slaves to each other.
