Exclusion OF NEGROES FROM INDIANA.-The
citizens Of Indiana have adopted, by large majo-
rity, the article of the new constitution excluding
negroes from the State, which was submitted to
vote separate from that on the constitution. This
article declares that no negro or mulatto shall come
into or settle in the State after the adoption 70 the
constitution All contracts made with any negro
or muatto coming into the State are to be void ;
and all persons who shall employ, or otherwise en-
courage such negro or mulatto to remain in the
State, to be fined in any not less than ten dol
lars nor more than Eve hundred dollars. All fines
which may be collected for violation Of the por-
visions of this article, or any law which may here
after be passed for the purpose of carrying the
same into execution, to be set apart and appro-
priated for the colonization of such negroes and
mulattoes and their descendants, as may be in the
State at the adoption of this constitution, and may
be willing to emgrate. This is tolerably strin-
gent law, and will doubtless have the effect intend
ed. The Convention seems to have overlooked
the fact that Massachusetts claims for her coored
citizens the game privileges in other States as her
white citizens epjoy, and the people of Indiana
have very unceremoniously settled the constitu-
tional question which has been raised upon this
point Will Massachusetts make as great out
cry in this instance, she did in reference to the
laws of South Carolina and Louisiana, by which
free negroes trading to those States are imprisoned?
The result Of this election, singular as it may
seem, is attributed to aboIitonism. The New
Castle Courier says in that county, regarded as
the hotbed of abolitonsm, 100 majority
given for the exclusion. 'Ten years ago." it
adds, :" or sven three years ago, such PROPOSE
ton, instead of receiving HOO majority, would
have been voted down largely but the intolerant,
fanatica reckless and dangerous policy Of the abo
ltonists-the professed friends Of the negro
have prejudiced the public mind against that un-
fortunate class of people, and the result is an al
most unanimous expression in favor of exclusion. J"
