The i :b:e teils certain facts about ne-

day. The m learned divines are ignor-
ant of tbero, not because they cau not read

can read an overseer much better than his

Afterward, the ordersNw«re to regaru au

treated as mulattoes. For proof of these
facté, see a work written by Gustave d' Al-
aux, entitled L'Empereur Soulouque—Par-
is, 1856 The little book, shut up in tbe
name ot the creature which beguiled Eve,
contain-: an epitome of the principal distin
guisbing characteristics of tbe negro race
recorded by Charlevoix in 1731, Moreau
de Saint Mery in 1797, and Guetave d'Al-
aux 1856, and gives clearer conceptions of
tbe negro character than our trost experi-
enced planters and overseers have got. We
learn from it tbat Adam selected his slaves
from thai portion of tbe naphesb cbaiyah,
or inferior races, who had the hardest
masters in tte world—the serpents. Tbe
people of tbe United Slates followed Ad-
am's example without knowing it, and got
their slaves from tbe serpent worshipers.'
The seventy-two wbo translated tbe Bibl
into Greek, rendered the word Nachas!
by Ophis, a serpent. There were so many
meanibgs to the word, they were puzzled
to tell which to choose. Dr, Clarke thought
tbat orang-outang would have been a bet
ter choice tnan serpent, for the name of a
black creature, formed like a man, with
tbe gift of speech and reason, a great deal
of cunning, yet playful and good uatured,
walking erect, a sorcerer, and a slave to
sometüing that charmed it. If the seventy-
i.*o had lived in our day, they would
lave rendered tbe word Nacbash as the
great Hebrew scholar of the East, bat now
ot the West, C, Blancber Thompson, has
rendered it, by tbe word kegko. We have
in tbe North-west a tribe of Indians called
Snakes; tbat name was intended tobe
significant of some peculiar trait in their
cuaraeter.
After Cain killed bis brother, be went
into the land of Nod, inhabited by some
one or more of tbe inferior races, and took
a wife. In process of time a very general
dtnalgajnatioh occured between the Adam-
ic and tbe inferior races. That they n ere
black is inferred from tbe mark put upon
Cain. The hybrids were so exceedingly
wicked tbat tbe Lord determined to des-
troy them by a flood. For fifteen hundred
years the Adamic race bad appropriated
the term mun and mankind exclusively to
itself. During these fifteen hundred years,
whenever we see the term man in our En-
glish translation, we will find Adam in He-
brea'. Mr. Jefferson uted the term mbn,
in tbe Declaration of Independence, in its
original Hebrew sense. There is no word,
as a generic term, meaning tnan in the
Choctaw language. A Chactaw is a noch-
ane, a white man a na-hoo-loo. Tbe abo-
lition delusion is founded upon tbe error
of using tbe word man in a generic sense,
instead of restricting it to its primary speci
fic sense. But after a large part of the
Adauiic race had been corrupted by amal-
gamation with the inferior races, the term
man was used to designate tbe hybrids,
and the term god te designate the pure-
blooded white man. It was not intended
to destroy the typical speciee of tbe na-
pbesh chaiyah. They were saved in the
ark under tbe designation of living crea
tures. Tbe term man or mankind was not
applied to them. It is repeadedly said, in
the Bible, that Ham is tbe father of Cana-
an. The word father is evidently used in
the sense that the Catholics apply it to tbe
Pope, papa or father meaning a bead man,
manager, or overseer of tbe Nacbaab race,
domesticated iu Noah's bouse. There
were four tribes or species under bis direc-
tion—Cusb, Misraim, Phut and Canaan,
called the sons of Ham. It is evident that
Ham was not their natural father, or they
hia natural children, because some of tbem
were plural. None ot tbe four species or
races whicb Ham had charge of m tbe ark
belonged to the Nacbash or snake wor
sbiping race, except Canaan was a Nacbash.
Tweuty ¿ ears ago I published a paper en-
titled (1 Canaan Identified in tbe Ethiopi-
an." Tbe negroes brought from tbe Gold
Coast into America, and their decendants.
I studied in the cotton and cane field, in
sickness and in health, under good masters
aud bad, and at tbe dissecting table.
What I thus learned in the book of nature,
I found, to my great surprise, bad been re-
vealed more than five thousand vears pre-
viously in tbe Hebrew Bible. I discovered
tbat tbey bad no resentments for being
flogged, as other people have ; tbat liber-
ty makes them miserable instead of bappy;
that tbey submit themselves to slavery ;
sell one another into slavery; are protect-
ed by fk law of tbeir n*.ure, like mules,
against being overworked ; that tbey are
slaves in mind, or slaves by nature. All
of which are plainly . xprw sed in those
Hebrew words which relate to the Na-
cbash, to Canaan and his descendants.
Thus we find one tribe of the Canaanites,
the Gideanites, selling themselves into sla-
very, nd even practicing the deceptions of
tbe Nacbash to induce the Jew to buy
tbem, as they still do on the Gold Coast.
That Canaan and the Nacbash are tbe
same, is. proved by the fact that all the
best slaves—«those which can not be se-
duced from their masters, which require no
military force to keep tbem in subjection,
no prisons to bold them, or chains to bind
tbem—come from those tribes in Africa
tbat worship the serpent, are slaves of tbe
serpent, and are charmed by tbat reptile.
Tbey have all got tbeir heade thrown back
>u tne atfes. They are all knee benders,
I terally and metaphorically, knee-benders
u tciud and body. None of tbem can
a t ^nieo their knees. When at work in
ut- He a* they do uot stoop like white peo
pie; tueir heads being thrown back) tbeir
knees bent, their legs bowed out, tbeir feet
fiat, hips thrown upward, their abdomens
are brought parallel with tbe earth, as
moving over ita surface on their bellies.
44 Upon their belly thou shaltgo," said El-
ohim to the Nacba h. We have only to
look at tbem eatiug tbe bread which tbey
prefer to all other kinds of bread, the ash
cake, and to witness their fondness for the
ashes, and eating dust by tbe handfuls, to
see rewritten upon living negroes, the He-
brew words, translated, "dustshalt thou
eat all the days of thy life." Tbe iron
wire muzzle th&t used to be so common,
fastened and locked around the negro's
mouth and face, to prevent him from eat-
ing dust, has gone pretty much out of u e
since tbe negro has been brought more
immediately into the1 light of civilization
aud Christianity. But even yet, they are
the only people in the world who are tbe
victims of tbat peculiar1 disease called dirt
eatiug, cachexia Africana or negro con-
sumption. Long ago I wrote a treatise
on it, in the New Orleans Medical and
Surgical Journal. I proved it to be a dis-
ease of tbe mind, occurring in consequence
of tbe negro not being properly governed,
and his falling back under tbe empire of
his indigenous superstition. Happily, as
foretold, tbe seed of the woman is bruising
tbe bead of tbe serpent, and Christianity
is setting tbe poor negro free from slavery
to bis old master, tht Satanic Nacbash, at
present known in Africa aud Hayti as
King Congo, wbo invariably seizes upon
him and takes him back into barbarism,
when released from servitute to the Adam
io man. Liberty is not' a question with
the negro at all; be can not form a con
ception of the thing in tbe sense tbe white
man understands it. The question wbicb
has been before all tbe churches, so long
unsolved, and for 15 years on tbe minutes
ef the Methodist church, 44 What shall be
done to destroy the evil of slavery f" re-
solves itself, as far as the African is con-
cerned, into the question : 44 Which mas
ter shall he serve, the new or the old V
Language would fail to describe tbe hap-
py change in the negro's condition, when
be passed from tbe service of bis old mas-
ter, Satan, io tbe guise of a serpent, into
tbe service of bis young master Adam in
Paradise. Nor cau language well depict
tbe improvement in bis condition, (occur-
ring nearly *ix thousand years after the
fall of man,) when be passed from the
service of King Congo in Africa into the
service of the christian white man in
America. It is not that worldly, imprac-
ticable thing, called Red and Black Repub-
lican liberty, which Ibe Ministers of Christ
are commissioned to proclaim, but the
glad tidings of the Gospel—the redemp-
tion of tbe fallen man, including the black
pre Adamites in tbe service of God's cho-
sen people io these United States. There
could not have been a greater difference in
favoi of tbe Isralites, than there is between
tbe people of the United States and the
hybrids of Mexico, Csntral and South
America. Tbe Isralites were, and still are,
a chosen people, and so are we, so are all
white men of pure blood. They were
monogenists "through policy, to give to
Abraham tbe credit of one Adam. Abra-
ham, like our Washington, was called of
tiod to found a great nation. Both were
wbite men and both slaveholders. The
institutions tbey foasded preserved tbe pu-
rity of tbe Adamic or master race, to
which they belonged, and prevented amal-
gamation with the inferior ¿ark skin ra-
ces. After the advent of Christianity,both
Catholics and Protestants, could not help
noticing the fact that all the nations of tbe
earth, except tbe Jews, were polygenists,
tbat is, believers in tbe diversity of tbe
origin of mankiud and concluded tbat tbe
unity of origin had been revealed to the
Hebrews. Hence all tbe Christian nations
adopted tbe doctrine tbat the genus homo
consisted of but one species, and tbat all
mankind sprung from a single pair. They
did not suspect tbat the Uuity dogma had
been invented by tbe Jews themselves, and
was no wbercr revealed as a truth in tbe
Holy Scriptures; but on the countrary tbe
plurality or diversity of origin of mankind
had been expressly teve&Ied in God's Word.
Tbe Bible declares that there were pre-
Adamites, not only io tbo land of Nod,bat
that there was an Ophidian species of prer
Adamites by the name of Nacbash, wbo
bad tbe gift of speech, ani were more sub-
tle than beasts of tbe earth,and that ose,
at least, of these beings with human
speech and intelligence was in Paradise
with Hdam anterior to tbe formation of
Eve. The translators of tbe Bible having
adopted tbe Unity dogma as a revealed
truth, instead of an invention of tbe Jews
themselves, have failed in all their transía
tions, since the christian era, to give tbe
full force and meaning of that portion of
God's Word in tbe 1st chapter ot Genesis,
which expressly declares that beings with
living souls were created anterior to Adam.
The Greek versioo of the Bible, called tbe
Septuagint, Quoted by our Savior, is tbf
only one of all tbe versions which has given
the full and literal meaning of the Hebrew
in tbat portion of tbe first chapter of Gen-
esis, wherein tbe existence of intelligent
creatures with living souls,created anterior
to Adam, is revealed. Tbe Ssptuagim ren-
ders tbe words naphesb chaiyah, in tbe
24th verse of the 1st chapter* by the
Grsek worda psyeben zoAn, tbe Latin of
which is animvm viventem. Nothing else
but living soul ol| be made of it.
St. Paul uses identically tbe same words
t«und in tbe Septuagint, as a translation of
kaphesh Chaivab, wben speaking of tbe
creation of tbe first man. He says tbe
first man was on the eartb. Genesis says
tbe same tbing. lie wa9 a Naphesb
Cbaiyab, says St. Paul. He does not use
the Hebrew words Naphesb Chaiyah. but
the identicle Greek words which repreaent
Naphesb Chaiyah in tbe Septuagint trans-
lation of Genesis. He then goes on to
show that tbe second Adam belonged to a
superior race of Naphesb Cbaiyab. The
word in Genesis, wben it refers to Adam,
is in tbe plural, souls instead of^soul. The
second man created was superior to the
first creation. The first was from earth,
tbe second from heaven, [1 Corinthians,
chap, xv, v. 45 and 46.
Tbe Unity doctrine bas caused St. Paul
to be misunderstood and mistranslated.
He speaks of two creations of human be-
;s—the first baying a living soul, the
second something in addition viz : pneuma
zoopoioun; in Latin j spiritúm rivifioaiim
quickening spirit. The latter he derived
trom Heaven, tbe former from eartb. The
latter he lost wben be ate tbe forbidden
fruit. The mission of Christ is to restare
it. The Unity heresy, that of all mankind
sprung from a single pair, should be cast
out ot the church. It is the root of nearly
all the evils at present afilicting it. Being
anti scriptural and conflicting with etho-
logical truth and theprogressof the scien-
ces, both Catholic and Protestants ought
cordially unite to rid the church of such a
pernicious heresy.

Physical Education-
THE 6TR02ÍG MAN, AND HOW HK BECAME SO.
The public have been not a little inter
ested, for a few years, in occasional ac
counts of Dr. Winship, tbe "Strong Yan-
kee's*'experiments in physical self-educa-
tion. He is about twenty-six years old, five
feet seven inches io height, and weighs
one. hundred aud forty-eight pounds. He
can lift eleven hundred pounds, and is bow
tbe best example} of physical education in
the United States. He was seveateen
years old before be began bis experiments,
and was then but five feet high, and
weighed only one hundred pounds; bis
health was not good, for he already suf-
fered from tbe usual dyspeptical troubles
of American youtb. So great bas been
his improvements, that he now declares it
to be bis opinion that no one, having an
atom of strength and life," need despair of
tbe benefit of a right system ef training.
He instances Dr. Warren's testimony re-
specting a veteran invalid, who began,
gymnastics in bis seventieth year, with
very salutary effects; and, of course, old
Cornaro (famous in Adison's Spectator) is
not forgotten, who, though ao gymnast,
began in his fortieth year to restore a
broken constitution, and lived a life of
health and of enviable cheerfulness till bis
hundredth year.
But what bas been the efficacious theo
ry of the strong Yaukee ? He bas given
it in tbe Massachusetts Teacbor, but, un-
fortunately,in an article of too great length
to be read much. We propose to take un-
usual bberties with his communication, in
order to condense into a more readable
shape, his interesting details. They ase
tbe best prescriptions we have ever met
for physical self recuperation ; and, in this
day, when 44 muscular" merit haa become
a matter of special ambition^ and physical
training a subject of even moral preach-
ments, it may not be unprofitable to pre-
sent to the pnblic an. example which, from
both its moderate good sense, and its ex-
traordinary sesults^ may be pronounced a
model one.
How, then,, has t!¡s Yankee dortor sur-
passed all the pii^iii- tic training of the
age? We enumerate, at much leng;ijj.the
principles of bis system. We the
