NegrophiljSm al the North.

| We have more than once had occasion to
refer to the striking remark of some Northern
member of Congress (Mr. Vinton, of Ohio, we
think it was) that the North could not afford 10
let the South abolish SLAVERY. His argument
was, that the immense free negro immigration
into tho Northern States would be all intolerabe
evil. The same reasoning is beginning to have
It's due weight with some Northern minds, in re.
gard to the policy of resisting the execution Of
the Fugitive Slave law; as the following article
of the New York Express very aptly testifies:
| The SYRACUSE NEGRO, for and in whose behalf moi
only the majesty OF the Law is violated but the State
itself is dishonored is it seems a worthless and de-
PRAYED creature, who had been four times sentenced
10 the Penitentisry during the past summer The
particular value OF such property to his mester or to
Canada, where he has gone, is of import; but il is
matter OF importance TO show that as he is but abouI
iar specimen OF nine out OF ten of his class OF runa
ways, quite time TO prohibit The entrv of sno n
population here.
The best wayt execute the Fugitive Slave Law in
this State, we continue to think, 10 have no possible
cause Tor It's execution by the prevention of all the i'm
mgalon that leads to il. There no reason whv the
Tree States should be made the Botany Bay the slave
States There is no good cause for opening our
houses and homes to negroes Who so conduct them
selves as TO be sent four times to the Penitenary in
one Summer II the slave States have such worthless
negroes among Them, they should be made to keep
them, and when they away they should be met at
the boundary line with the Law orbdding their coming
We forbid Europe emptyng her jaiIs oil while men up

penltentiary negroes or, III the Abolition vocabulary

then admit the offscouring oil Southern plantatonsl-
The negroes that away the very worst species
OF the class OF slaves, and there is reason why this
worst species OF an every way undesirable popuation
should be permitted to make their homes here more es
peciay when they BRING into our society such elements
OF murder and commotion as those OF Chrstana and
Syracuse. This Syracuse negro Jerry four times SEN
fenced 10 the Penitenary in Syracuse il seems exrit-
| ed sympathy enough among the people who sent him
SO often to the slavery OF the Pententiarv TO make
them MOP United States Marshals and break the arm
| OF one Of them and therefore all colored Jerrvs we
reason ought 10 be met at the threshold OF the State
with oet0 upon their entrance among such combusti.
Die syinpathZers The Georgia negro arrested in Bos-
ton whom a vessel had to be hired to send back
and whom Marshal Turkey had to muster the Civ
foilce 10 protect, was just another Jerry. He had
committed all sorts OF high misdemeanols at home
ana then ran away. Is there any reason why we in
the Tree States should permit these Jerrys these
Shadrachs, to come among and thus shake the
~h mo frame OF our government and society?
1t is demonstrated by Northern tire atment of me-
groes that white and back here cannot and will mot
live ln state OF Equality. No sane white man or
woman viii marry negro, even il he she is an
Abo itionist. Few will sit with them at table Few
VIII nave them IN their churches or schools Few
would even consent TO be buried with them, side bv

If we intended in the free States to make these
states the welcome home OF runaway saves,-if we
intend to foster and encourage the immigration here
OF the three millions OF slaves now in the Sonthern
States,-let US begin, in all conscience, by reducing
our lheofy OF liberty and equality to real practice in

Inc great necessity, however, OF a separation of
the African from among u.s. comes from the Abolition
saocletles, which are now SO organized as 10 make
the execution OF the Laws impossible where the Afri
can is concerned. The African set up as above the
Law Even the eXtradtlon to which the white man
IS subject, under the Constitution, il commended the
African shall be exempt from. If an African should
actually commit theft in the Southern States, and
pc demaGded, as the white man is demanded, as a
fugitive from justice, the Abolition societies would
protect him from the Law. Thus, we see. it is I'M
possible for the African and any longer to live to
gelher without heartburnng and strife, The African
has Higher Law" set up for his guidance, which
is against the Constitution of the United States one
