OUR BLACK POPULATION.

In our last number we stated, that in
the natural progress Of population the
southern section of he Union would con-
tain, a century hence, about twenty mill
lion blacks, and probably not more than
fifteen millions Of whites. We then re-
ferred in general terms, to some of the
dreadful evils which would necessarily
exist in population SO constituted. The
question now arises-What shall be
done TO avert from our country these
awful calamities! To this we answer,
the first and great step undoubtedly is.
10 mt all thc check ne can uhon the in
crease Of The blacks. We 10 no, mean
that any thing should be done inconsis-
tent with humanity; but humanity re-
Quires that every lawful and innocent
measure should be adopted to arrest the
progress Of a calamity, which threatens
10 involve in misery, not only oar own
posterity, but also that Of the unhappy
Africans. We believe that we of the
present generation, have it in our power
20 prevent, in a great measure The in
crease Of the blacks, and if through our
neglect 20 do this, the evils we have an
ficipated come upon our posteritv, we
shall merit the bitter reproaches they
will heap upon us.
We have said that it is possible to
prevent to considerable extent, The in.
erase of the blacks. To illustrate this
point it will be necessary to refer to a
few simple principles. Every rejecting
man will perceive at once that hohula.
zion emery ruhere Increases much in hro.
PORTER 10 the ertent Of territory (Which
1t Is permitted to occuhy. Take, for
example, the. case Of our English an.
cestors. They landed in New-Englapd
two centuries ago, and their number was
about 40 or $4,000. Their descendants
are now spread over the whole country
from the Atlantic ocean to the NJ ssissip.
pi, and amount prAbably, to 5000 ooc
souls, having increased nearly an bun.
dred fold; while the population OF Eng.
land during the two last centuries, has
very little more than doubled, and Of
course If our ancestors had remained in
their native country, the number Of their
descendants at this day would probably
have been less than 100000. Such IS
the difference in The rate at which poDu.
iation increases under different circum.
stances.
Take another example. I, is suppos.
ID that the population doubles by natu
Edwardsville spectator. [volume] (Edwardsville, Ill.) 1819-1826, 1824-01-27

raj increase in every period Of twenty
five Years. o. this increase SIN part
only is retained in the state, the number
Of emigrants in each year being nearly
equal to the annual addldon. Let US
now suppose tina, law was made pro-
hibting emigratloD from Connecticut,
what would lie its effect on The natural
increase oil the population DDubi less
to diminish il. Her Young men, cut off
from the cheap lands in the west, would
be under the necessity oil delaying mar
rage till later period OF llte. Connec.
tiout would then be in the situation in
which En- land uJw is, and her pupnIa-
ton would scarcely double IN an hundred
years.
We will now apply these principles
to The case of the blacks. rDat pari of
the territory ottre United States IN which
avery is permitted, including fIDrlda
and the Arkansas TERRITORY, enib' ac-s an
area OF 700 600 square miles. No more
than one fourth OF this eountr, is yet Set
tied and divided INTO plantan5ts, TIE
remaining three ourlhs being a niltIer-
ness, inhabited only by lndlans and wild
beasts. The part OF Ibis tern DRY in
which the black form al present any con-
siderable portion of the population IS Of
still narrower dimensions TWO thirds Of
all the blacks in the Uhited States being
concentrated in the low country IT Ma
land, and Virginia, the Csroiinas and
Georgia, within an area oil 90 900 square
miles while III the back paris , these
states, and. in most parts OF Kentucky
and Tennessee, they constitute less than
one seventh part ofsthe population. Let
US now inquire what would be the ef-
feet Of a law similar to the one we men
toned in the case of C9nnecucut, and
similar also 10 one which was recently
proposed 10 the parliament Of Great
Britain, in relation 20 The West India
colonies; we mean law 10 prevent the
transfer of slaves, except with the land
to which they are attached. The o
vious effect OF the law would be that the
ba ks would be forever confined to the
districts which they now occupy, and OF
course three iourths OF The territory IN
cluded within the limits 81 the slave
holding states would be eventually SCI.
tied by a pure White population. 1t
such Law were passed, the number ct
blacks in the UnHed States, century
hence, instead OF 30 do 900, would aor
probably amount to 5000, 900 and wfh
the AID Of an efficient and veil re ,uiated
colonization society 10 cary off lac SUR
plus, they nIsht even b kept within
their present number.
