. _ STATE OF SLAVERY' 1N THE UNITE') STATES. Slavers - took very early root in the American co!o• r•,es, and is still retained ie the Unite d States ; full I 1,703, 0 00 negroes are held there as slaves, which alga enn.ain upwards of 200,000 free people of colour.— Both these classes, however, arcptire occasional:y an ad mixture of the blend of the white portion of our pcpe latien, and the Me-tizos are gaining fast in mimber upon the blacks. The great heel). of American negroes *re to • be found in the Southern States. The expcnieore of all history proves, that the structure of society in slave-holding countries is unfavourahle to internal se curity and p.sce at all times ; and still more so to titell• rite and strength in the season of tOreign warfare.— laileed, all moral evil licensees a dreadful power of per petuatieg and augmenting its own atrocity; whence • the evil of slavery, once established, scarcely admits of remedy ; beeeinse the emancipation of slaves in large snasses is nearly, if not quite, iirpractieable • the ditTer ence bowel' ehe.habits of a slave and those of a free citizen being as wide as the poles asunder . A slave is • • I,,enotatit of the very elements of industry, which is the basis of all social prosperity. The sieve recently libee aced, hu eeperienced only the most laborious and irk. sorae of the occupations of a chisel), and not having learned any forecast, is unwilling, to toil when free.— The ne,g - os of St. Doming) first knew only the two ;extreme* of slavery and rebellion; afterwards, they ex -pericacecl the Ides:1'11g: of military despotism, under the ,pressure of which they bent and groaned ; and it is not easy to deter mine which of these three miserable States • the transition to the social and orderly reek of a free • citizen is tnest difficult. The experience at Domingo f near). 25 years past pro: es, that revolted slaves ace incapable of receiving and enjoin„ the blessings of free Institutions, for they have only exchanged the 1 errors of civil bondage for those of military despotism. And the o m incipated negroes of Messachusetsprove,that seeks an rd rof beings have not the capacity of availing the:nselvc of the benefits of civil liberty. For, in that State. where slavery is abolished be law, and which • consequently opens an asylum to fugitive slaves from tieiglibeurAtg States, the negroes do not Iccp up their • stock of population, by the help both of native breeding s ued renawey importation ; su improvident, so helpless, a wanting in all those habits of steady and useful in (eatery, which are essentially necessary to enable the eitiaens of a free community to obtain a competent :Alpe port fie. themselves and growing families, have they . bees rendered by a long continuance in slavery, either in their own persons, or in those of their immediate progenitors. and by their almost total destitution even , of the rudest eletuentbef civilization and culture. This most clearly proves the shame of this traffic; for, Lad.tlicy not been placed in this unhappy state of alevry,•tileir capacities might have been good, and ma ny instances have occtirred where native Africans, not yet, subjected to this abject :mil ftrn destitution, have • discovered capacities equal to aWI-ittilize.d European, when cultivated in these arts and sciences which . tem!, to improve the rind and heart of man, and to renter' him fit for Heaven. But those 'which are made free, and who semen in the Northern and middle States, are generally idle, vicious, and profligate ; the quaker; have eetleavoured to meliorate their condition, in conse qeenee of which .chools and iherches have risen up, i.rel black teachers and preache'rshave shown themselves os competent to perform their important 'functions as l.eir white brethren.
