THE NEGROES IN THE FREE
STATES.

Perhaps the Singular development Of
eublic sentiment which has taken place
in the United States within the las,
Quarter Of century is that exhibited by
the popdaar vote of flinois. in regard 10
free negroes. BY majority of Two TO
one the people oftl,at State have englaf-
fed upon their constitution a prohibition
agains, free persons ofcolor, more sstin-,
gent than the laws Of any of the slave
States. They are actually forbidden
entrance upon the soil Of the Slate.
They are not TO be allowedto settle upon
lis territory on any condition whatever.
This is fundamental, constitutional pro-
hibition. In some of the, Southern
States, our own amongst others, free
negroes from other States are forbid 10
settle; but these legal: disabilities may
be removed. and are often SO removed, !,
BY exceptions provided for by LeeIsla-
ton. In. Illinois The in,erdiclion is
sweeping, univalsal and organic:
We lrnst tina, hereafter, when our
Northern brethren gelup sheii next cru.

will give Illinois all the advantage OF
their philanthrupic interference. Would

that the laws are inadequate to the pro,
