268 On the Extermination of Races. 
“In the eyes of theology they are lost men ; in the eyes of 
morality vicious men; in the eyes of humanitary economy they 
are non-producers. From their origin they have not recog- 
nized, and still refuse to recognize, a supreme law imposed by 
the Almighty, viz., the obligation of labour. 
*“ On the other hand, all nations of the earth have made 
war upon the Jews in 4000 years; the Egyptians, the As- 
syrians, the Greeks, the Romans, &c.,—Christians and Mo- 
hammedans by turns; with innumerable cruelties, physical 
and moral; nevertheless, that race lives and prospers. Why ? 
Because they have everywhere played their part in the pro- 
gress of civilization. 
“True philanthropy (asserts Bodichon) should not tolerate 
the existence of a race whose naturality is opposed to pro- 
gress, and who constantly struggle against the general rights 
and interests of humanity. Omnipotence has provided for 
the renovation of manhood in countries where effeminacy has 
prostrated human energies. Earth has its tempests as well 
as the ocean. There are reserved, without doubt, in the 
destinies of nations, fearful epochs in the ravage of human 
races ; and there are times marked on the Divine calendar 
for the ruin of empires, and for the periodical renewal of the 
mundane features.” 
“In the midst of this crash of empires (says the Philoso- 
phical Virez), which rise and fall on every side, immutable 
Nature holds the balance, and presides, ever dispassionately, 
over such events, which are but the re-establishment of 
equilibrium in the systems of organized beings.”—(Nott and 
Gliddon on the Types of Mankind.) |
