position of the white and black man on this con-
tnent, as master and slave, and finally to restore
harmony TO the two sections Of the Union, by re-
moving the most annoying and dangerous portion
Of our population--that which exhibits PERM
cious example to the slave, and holds out to him
an allurement which renders him restless, discon-
tented, and unfaithfu, So far from feeling the
truth Of I" HENRY 5" POSITIONS am convinced,
on the contrary, that it will be difficult if not I'M
possible long to maintain the institution of slavery
in the Southern States, with large and increasing
population Of free negroes in the adjoining terri
tory The only hope for the quiet and repose of
the Southern people is to be rid OF these dangerous
neighbors II is doubtful whether the Northern
people will ever be ablet perform their constitu-
tonaI obligations to their Southern brethren,
while they have this powerful element of discord
constantly increasing amongst them The measure
is therefore Of primary Importance 10

who desire the stability Of our institutions, aud

to vindicate the report Of the Naval Committee

least they will be sufficient to lead rejecting minds
