nature,  that  the  injuries  we  have  done  to  that  race  of  men,
should  be  the  ground  of  our  hatred  against  them ;  and  that
that  hatred  should  be  evident  in  proportion  to  the  cruelty
and  injustice  they  have  suffered  at  our  hands."  *  *  *  "  As  our

enters  the  church ;  and,  at  hotels,  nobody  thinks  it  a  degra
