THE COLORED RACE AT THE
6s(a ,5s is sss NORTH.
We know not when we have seen the
fell, fierce and fanatic spirit of Abolition
so handsomely and completely rebuked
as by the following article from Major
Noah's NY: Sunday Messenger. It is
much to be regretted that that section of
the Union does not contain larger
number of editors with the same enlight-
ed and liberal views in reference TO the
Southern institution of slavery
"a FRIEND IN NEED The coloured race
in this country never wanted friends more
than they 90 at the present time-not pro-
Tossing friends who calculate how much
political capital can be made by being
clamarons in their behalf, but true friends.
who wish to see them hcomforta Bile, safe
and happy When has Africa been hap
py? Laboring under divine displeasure,
a marked and differently created race
from the white man, always at war with
each other in their own country, sold as
slaves by our Northern ancestors, and
purchased by the South to till the land,
the only comfort, protection, society and
safety which they have ever enjoyed since
they left the land of Cush, is in hat is
called their Slavery in the Southern
States; and this comfort and safety they
are about to be robbed of by host of
sympathizing politicians, calling them
selves Free Soil men and the friends of
the coloured race. sa'rs eai
Here. at the North, the poor blacks
are not permitted to work alongside Of
the white man. We reduce them to the
lowest grades of civilization by making
them our servants, our walters, and our
dependents. Once they were permitted
to follow the humble employment of car
rying up bricks and mortar. but they were
kicked from the ladder by our white fell
low-citizens.. they clean boots, scour
clothes but are, not permitted to sweep
streets-they do not own or command
ship, they are only cooks and stewards
they are not merchants, bankers. or brok-
ers-they hold no public appointments,
and are rudely thrust from our cars and
carriages-we do not eat with them or
pray with them, and in our places Of
amusement there are pens and divisions
in which they may sit by themselves. Is
it any wonder that they are poor, vicious,
and the inmates of our hospitals and
prisons? And yet we, who persecute,
neglect and repudiate the free black men
here, are filled with holy zeal to make
the slave free at the South. and. deprive
him OF home, of food and clothing, and
of kind considerate master; and we
struggle for that freedom even at the ex-
pense Of breaking down, dividing and
DESTROYING our glorious Republic! Well
may the blacks say: 'Save us from our
friends! Save us from the pity and pro.
tectlon of the political Abolitionists..'
What is to become of the poor free
blacks, when thrown upon the world
without protection, deprived of their hap
py home in the slave States, and of kind
and sympathising masters. The Govern
or of Virginia, in his last message to.the
Legislature, proposes 20 direct by law
that the free blacks shall leave the State.
True, they work but little, and, idleness
is the parent of crime-true, they corrupt
the honest and industrious, slave, are USE
less to themselves, and burden and in
Jury to the State. That freedom SO essen
tial to the whites is to them an unbeara-
BILE burden. What. however. is to be-
corpe of 100000 poor friendless, free
blacks, dr1ven nom their own State to
take refuge in the Moth, where we allow
them SO few privileges? Suppose all the
slave States Were to say to their free
blacks-.My friends, we have given you
employment and bread, but your aboli-
ton friends in the north are anxious that
you should come forth from the iniquity
that surrounds you-go to them. and see
if they will do as much for you as we
have done!!' What is to become of more
than half million of freed blacks driven
forth to seek the cold charities of the
North? They a0iv starUe, We of the
north will give them no succour, no en-
ployment, and yet we are even in favor
Of .ending ON, glorious constitution to
pieces in order to give them liberty
When will the age of reason be revived?
We cannot rebuke the slave States in
ridding themselves of their free blacks,
whi:h are a dead weight upon them; and
yet we dread the day when they shall be-
thrown upon the north for support and
protection. Wherever we turn, we see no.
thing in the agitation Of the slave question
but ruin and distress to the coloured race.
