EMPLOYMENT or SLAVE LABOR ON
pIiRTIC WORKS

We yesterday glanced at this subject,
which is beginning TO attract attention,
and expressed one decided conviction that
slave mechanical labor should IN no case
be allowed to interfere with white labor,
n the department Of industry which clti-
gems had chosen for their support. Ia
this we were in advance and knew our.
selves to be 50, ofthe grievances at Nor
folk, which had led 10 the agitation Of
the subject. The complaint there is on
W, that the Government employs slave
labor to perform what free men can do as
we'll or better, and are anxious 10 do
The principle is The same. and we would
strike at that and not at the individual in
stance.
The principle is that the owners Of the
countryside white race-have right
to put their sons to wha. trades they please,
in which, having become proficient, by
apprenticeship, the large STAKEHOLDER has
no right to render their business unproft.
able, by bringing his siares into competl.
ton with them.
Free labor cannot WiinStahu ths coih-
petition. The rich mans carpenter or
blacksmith. having no family TO support,
can afford, or his master can, 10 under
work the free laborer, and will invariably
do it..
1t is not that the free laborer charges
TOO high for his work, but that tho black
Iaborer can make money for his master,
by undertaking him.
If we desire a white population to a.
Dido in Virginia that shall be equal to the
defence of her independence, the compe-
ti,lon Of slave labor with white, ough. TO
be instantly and effectually suppressed.
Otherwise we must soon become what ia.
maica and Barbados lately were--a
handful of proprietors and millions oil
slaves, to whom the element Of knowl.
edge was only wanting, to make them ar.
biters Of the public destiny.
We are opposed to this state of things
or to anything which may lead to it; and
we should, therefore, be pleased TO see a
law passed, making it unlawful to instruct
anv slave in the handicraft arts.-Rich.
