The African Race In the Free States.

The question rs to what course Of measures true
bcnevolruce to the African race in Am.rc, re.
quires, has now for long course of years been
one Of absorbing interest, and earnest not to say
angry discussion in this country. And it is now
easy to determine, whether much progress has
been made towards The proper issue But IN the
meantime, events have been in progress towards
crisis, which will soon press the question to Il
decision. Many OF tho free states have been ma.
king legal provisions to exclude Va. free bac Ks
from their soil Indeed, IN the free states. there
are conflicting elements of policy There is, on
the one band, sentiment OF deep repugnance 10.

disposition to defend the liberty which the fu.
gltiye finds il our territory aud therein ,eadsn.
Cy To invite in anon. Us, To any extent the black
population afthe south Then ON the other hand,
there Is in nany Of the free states, nm alarm at
Ihe Increase Of the blacks. and disposition to
thrust them out or force them out by legal pro.
visions, And these opposite policies aya deyel.
nped on the same ground
Take 'ui instance, the state Of Ohio. Perhaps
M state has had u stronger repugnance to the iu-
gittSe slave law, and the interests which that law
was made TO defend. And no state has gone fur.
lhcr in legislation to break the practical force Of
that law. 1t has made law requiring the pros
eculug officers ui the state and counties to inter
frre IN every case of the arrest Of fugitive, AID
through the lIabuds Corpus, TO secure to the fu.
gtye n trial bv Jury. Ard yet in this same
state, there Is widespread alarm at the incraase
Of the blacks, and u disposition ior strong meas
urcs Of legislative exclusion, The Convention of
Ohio in session the prcsen; year !or amending the
Constitution ofthat State, have passed by vote
Of ninety four to forty, provision that no negro

provision, that al contracts made with such per.
sons so coming in, shall te punishable by fine
