II is obvious from the above tables that the in
crease of the free colored persons in New York and
New Jersey has been in exact proportion to the
dminution of the slaves, and at the same periods,
No candid MID can required clearer realization
Of the statements Of Randolph"
But If shadow of doubt remains on the mind
of human being, it must vanish before the fact
that in New York, there is an excess of females
over the males of 2,4O9. Now the fact is well
known, that fve-sxths of the fugitive slaves are
males and if their number amounted to one
twentieth part of the estimates of " Randolph"
their relative proportions to the females would be
the reverse of what the census shows it to be.
The reason Of the excess Of the females over the
males in New York is doubtless attributable to
the emigration Of the males to the West, and per-
haps some of them to the more southern States.
The census tables show that the colored popu-
lation is rapidly DESERVING the more Northern
free States, and this fact fully accounts fortheir
increase in the Northwestern States. Initiating
their white nsighbors, they emigrate to the West.
The following table shows that the free colored
population increased more rapidly from 1920 to
1910, in the Northwestern States, than it has

CALIFORNIA CORRESPONDENCE.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 80, 1850
To the Editor of the National Era:
BY the transient steamer which left for Pans-
ma on the 18th instant, you have, Of course, ere
this, been informed of the disastrous fire which
occurred here on the l4th-the third fire within
the space Of seven months, aud one which reduced
to ashes portion Of the city which had escaped
the two previous fires The whole ground is again
covered, however, and business there is lively as
ever. Such is the energetic and enterprising
character Of our citizens that misfortanes Of this
nature only create action with double vigor.
In order to prevent recurrence of these severe
and terrible CONGREGATIONS, our citizens have
united themselves into Engine and Hook and
Ladder Companies, and there are already two
large and effective engines ready for use, and Eve
or six more have been ordered Under the d.
rection Of the city authorities, an artssiaa we'll

Beech Of the honorable Senator from New York,
no man can read 1t in the first speech without
coming to the conclusion that be did use the pre-
else language that has been often denounced BY
the Senator from Kentucky and others and which
now am glad TO find the original author himself
is very anxious to induce the world to believe he
never intended to use il in the sense In which he
has employed It, will conclude as begun, that
there is no Senator in this body-be he the old
est or the youngest, the most distinguished or
the most obscure-that shall dare to utter SEN
timent that has just now been stated, without my
moving his expulsion instantly do not feel that
| could trust the great interests of the country
in the hands Of one who held such sentiments.
The PRESIDENT. The Chair will remark that
when this discussion commenced respecting the
opinions of individuals he was not in the chair.
The subject-matter in discussion is the amend
ment of the Senator from New York. The Chair
will be under the necessity Of enforcing the rule,
and bringing gentlemen back to the consideration
of the subject before them He regrets that the
matter has progressed so far, and cannot permit
it to proceed any further.
Mr.. SEWARD I throw myself upon the magma
nimity of the Senate, and ask its unanimous con-
sent to make single explanation.
Mr.. CLAY lin his seat) Hear him.
Mr.. SEWARD. The speech which has been re-
ferred to was printed verbatim as it was delivered
in the Senate and that, think, can be testified
to by the reporters. No material alterations were

1t is apparent from the above, that the abo-
itionists have had next to nothing to do with the
peopling the Northwest with the colored race,
since the process went on as rapidly before the
agitation of the slavery question. as since. Ths
colored people Of that region have emigrated from
New England, every man of common candor
must admit, who looks at the facts stated above
Asa further illustration of the absurdity of
the statements of Randolph, we subjoin the fol-
lowing table, showing the rapid increase Of the
free colored population of Pennsylvania, from
1890 down to 1920. Since that time, the ratio of
increase has much diminished, Randolph's stream
of fugitives from slavery to the contrary not

For the National Era.
MR.. CLAY ON SLAVE BREEDING.

Mr. Clay, in his speech the 22d ultimo, took
Mr.. Davis of Massachusetts severely to task for
intimating that slaves might be bred in New
Mexico for markets in other States. He was
shocked and surprised at this intimation, and
declared "this charge upon the slaveholding
States, OF breeding STAGES for market is utterly false
and gromndiess. No such purpose ever enters, |
believe, into the mind of ANY stakeholder"
The Senator from Kentucky is not always ex-
act in the use of his language Neither Mr.. Ds-
Wis nor any other well.informej person ever
charged the slave States collectively with breeding
slaves for market, for the obvious reason that
some of the States are importers of slAves--not
sellers, but buyers Of human beings Where
slave labor is profitable, slaves are bred for use
and purchased of others. Where such labor
yields little or no return, there slaves are bred
for expectation. Mr.. Clay Is wonderfully incred-
ulous and wonderfully ignorant Of existing facts,
II he truly believes that no such purpose as breed
ing slaves for market ever enters the mind OF
Virginia stakeholder.
Mr. Davis, being Northern man, is, Of course,
an incompetent witness, since we are continually
assured that the people Of the North do not nm
derstand "the peculiar institution Let us hear
then, what Southern witnesses testify on the SUD
ject.

CONGRESS- OF TUESDAY.

The Senate was occupied on Tussdsgip the
consideration OF the Fugitive Slave bill. An
amendment offered by Mr. Pratt, to compensate
Shareholders for their runaway slaves, was the
topic of discussion. II was opposed by Mr.. Day
ton and Mr.. Butler, and supported by Mr.. Badger
and Mr.. Underwood, and others. Mr.. Butler
entered into the opposition to the amendment with
considerable warmth, alleging that it would ope-
rate as a sort of emancipation act and would in
duce masters to connive at the escape of their
slaves.
The House made some progress with the Civil
and Diplomatic appropriation bill.
