To an African origin, would it not be better, if some of our
distinguished actors, who are presumptively white before the
foot-lights, took out free-papers at once? We have seen Macbeth and
Othello so "created" by the Caucasian models of the stage, that but one
line of Shakspeare remained in our memory, and narrowly escaped the
lips,--"Out, hyperbolical fiend!" It is not unlikely that the Felatah
was mixed with Moorish or Kabylic blood to make the Foulah. If so, it
proves the important fact, that, when the good qualities of the negro
are crossed with a more advanced race, the product will be marked with
intelligence, mobility, spiritual traits, and an organizing capacity.
Felatah blood has mixed with white blood in the Antilles; the Jolof and
the Eboe have yielded primitive affections and excellences to a new
mulatto breed. This great question of the civilizable qualities of a
race cannot be decided by quoting famous isolated cases belonging to
pure breeds, but only by observing and comparing the average quality of
the pure or mixed. When we approach the Slave Coast itself, strong
contrasts in appearance and culture are observable among the
inhabitants; they are all negroes, but in different social conditions,
more or less liable to injury from the presence of the slaver, and
yielding different temperaments and qualities to colonial life. The
beautiful and fertile amphitheatre called Whidah, in North latitude 6

Where did it come from? The area which it occupies has only about fifty
miles of coast and
