preferable was The LOT Of The Southern

As we have olien reported. the clamor

white labor; The blacks are entirely GU, Of

great effort now is to ge, monopoly Of all
The new Territories, free from The compe.
lilion OF black labor.
The Editor of the N. o. Bulletin. al
presen, on visit to the North, writing
from New York, gives the following graphic
sketch of the actual condition oflhe colored
race throughout the North, which our own
personal observation has confirmed:
"WhiIs, on The subject Of emplnymeuts.
| would observe that / have been lorcibly
struck with the manner in which The free
negroes 10 The northern cities are being
gradually driven from various occupations
which they formerly almost monopo.
lized. In house servants this is paricu-.
larly obvious; for ! have mol been in a
house in this city where there is negro
employed, but all white male aud female
servants, even 10 The coachman. There
are still some negro servants a, The hotels,
and on board of steamboats,, but there too,
they arc evidently diminishing; as labo'
rers they arebecoming scarce, aud il is a
rare thing to see negro about now build
ings. even as mortar mixers or bod carriers
mo one of whom have inquired here,
can tell What becomes Of them, though IL
is generally admitted, that with some ex-
ccplions, they are The most wretched as
we'll as the most worthless portion OF The
population, aud none wish 10 see any in
crease Of the number. 1t would be great
misfortune 10 the North. if the Southern
States should expel all the free blacks
from among them, which they may te
compelled to do. il the fanatic aboliIionists
of The North continue the course they have
been pursuing for q number Of years. They
are those who have been the worst enemies
of The poor negro, and have driven The
South TO adopt measures of restraint which
otherwise would not havo been thought OF
think I, is very evident that the climate
ofthe North acts very uufavorably uPo1
the health anll longevity Of The African
and believe iha, without additions from
the South, their numbers here, so far from
increasing materially, would decrease"
