TO the prospects of slavery, we'll worth,
the attention of tho North and South.
Il In 1900, the free population; Of these
States, counting New York, New Jerse !
and Pennsylvania as non -slaveholdine
was, ,(in round numbers,) l,772, 900 ;slave,
100000. aal a3 WIh. sIi y1s.-
In 1850, the white population in the
Slave States was 6,4l6,000; slaves, 8
OTIS 900. .ag.. .sg. av .va.J s..I a,..E'
| The increase of the free population
during The half century has been at the
rate oe560 per cent, of slave 243 per CT
Should the same rates prevail for the
NEXT half century, the free population
wilamount to 23,O72, 900, slave, 1O,5l3,
1000. ainI H gih'' 'sa s,ga,'
| But there is in the slave States anoth,
er influence, upseiting this calculation.
1t is the tendency TO freedom ip ,hem.--
That is absolute, certain so certain, thai
the SHAREHOLDERS say the grain growine
States must he free in half century,
Maryland and Virginia show this. The

Now the tendency here is in favor of
Freedom; if the peculiar division of Vir7.
ginia, wiz: Western and Eastern, be con-
sidered we may say that slavery cannot
endure in the Old Dominion. So in Mary,
land. The total slave population in lS40
was S9,7l9, it is in 1850 only SO, IT'S an
actual increase Of Sal. .,,'f.,.'.,'
But in the cotton region the tendency
is directly The reverse-or against Free:
dom. In Mississippi and South Carolina
the slaves outnumber the Freemen. -.

In Mississippi the fatio Of increase for
the Free is 81 per cent; slaves 17,6 per
cent. The slaves number 10000 more
than the freemcn. In Arkansas tile i'm
crease in the last decade has been 125,
per cent; Of free SO pei cent. 2l0m ,i1u
Thus two facts are made plaih; first
the grain growing slave States Maryland
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri
aud N. Carolina, }, will bo free; second,
the slaves in them must concentrate in
the cotton growing section. Mr.. Clay
assumes this as conceded result, The
only question isas to time. Well, sup
pose Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee,
Kentucky and Missouri to be free in
1900, what will be the condition Of the
cotton growing slave Sta!es9 The Era
answers: '{soI0|
Within the last century slaves have stesdi-
ly improved in intelligence. Have the
causes of. this improvement exhausted
themselves. or, are they not working with
increased power through additional chan
'nels? ".aahAiA iMp3 @
The next fifty years will witness
changeslinthe character of the slaves,
which, when considered in connection
with their great numerical force must
awaken our g'oomiest apprehensions,
should the hand Of power continue heavy
upon them. But should The South pass
safely through The increasing perils ofthe
coming 80 years, can it then dream of
the possibility often millions Of men, who
have had the benefit Of white instruction
and free example so many generations,
submitting long 10 the denomination Of
less physical force Than their own? -
Aud what then will be the condition of
the slave holding section in other RESPECTS
Remember. Virginia, Maryland, Missouri
and Kentucky, will not be embraced
within it, Cursed with redundant slave
population, its soil exhausted by thriftless
culture, its staple rivaled in the markets,
of the world by production now coming
into notice, and which can be grown
everywhere by free labor, with undinin.
ished returns from IFS crops, 10 be preyed
upon by an increasing surplus Of laborers,
who must eat or be decimated, with no
more slave territory to bring Temporary
rcprieve, the s]av holders would be com
PEELED TO emancipate their slaves, or ex-
iirpate themselves. Let the slarmists
pain, ihe gloomiest pictures Of the con-
sequences Of Emancipation his fancy
car draw, a deeper gloom hangs about
The tremenduoIs realities Of Slavery in
the year 1900, If it be continued SO long.
