earnestly recommend this reformation al our
criminal code ia relation To free negroes and
mulattocs.
On the 30th Of September last, we had in
our Pc~unitentiary 226 convicts. - ol whom
were Tree negroes and mulattoes, l07 white
convicts born within Virginia, aud 36 born
beyond our limits. By the census of : we
had in our State 80. Sil free negroes aud null
atioes, aud 7l0,96S white. Yet the free ne
groes md mulattoes. constituting about one
sixteenth of our free population Excluding
iorelgners.) contribnte largely over two htths
OF the ~convic,s oi our prncteniiav. BY the
same census. We had 4SS.9S7 slaves; of this
number fourteen only were transported Tor
tH.nces% committed within the past year. TIE
Tree negroes constitute only about one tenth
OF our nvgrue rdCe, aud yet they desperate
about siN-seucnths of the crimes committed
10y a.. Our criminal statistics d~cvclope these
results, which ! am satisfied are substantially
correct. They demonstrate the moral dcgra-
daiion oi the Tree negro, the hopeltssness OF
hts reform, the mishieyious influences of his
association, and the necessity OF his removal.
Occupying here that space which separates
the " hite man from the slave. he SUuupts

the ready instrument of those, to b. found ia
{ 'Tlaln IL of ihc Union. who would
kindlc into flame our social cdilicc, cannot be-
doubled. Aud thus il j. dne To our draUst
aud most sacred Interests, that h. shUuid b.
removed. The night 80 DO 81 cannot b. ques-
toned. The great md eternal law of silt
protection puts IL beyond cd,il or discus
sion.
In certain sections of our country The free
negro II regarded a. an American citizen, aud
emitted Ia uil the rights and privileges OF that
proud and lvity slatisu. We eau send him
To- those places. Indeed, | am assured that he

c mnunl'les, his domestic aud social ties

communities, while we would be- relieved
