he cannot flourish surrounded by and mixed
up with Whites His only sure resource
against debasement is Separation. Not
unwisely, therefore, has Hayti interdicted
the colonization of her soil by the White
Race.
We trust the time is coming when the
divinely directed example of the Exodus OF
the Hebrews from Egypt will be understood
and appreciated by the Blacks-that they
will come to realize that Colonization is the
means whereby oppressed Races and Com
munities renew their youth and strength.
1t is not essential that they should go to
Africa, though we trust many will prefer
to do so; for in Hayti, Central America
and many other parts of the earth, are un-
occupied lands in abundance which would
be freely granted to African COlOnists from
these States if asked for. We know not
why they might not found Colony in the
valley of the ella, as freely and success
fully as the Mormons have formed theirs
in the valley of the Salt Lake. But in
default of this, on a much smaller scale, the
Colonization of the Blacks within the
present Free States is practicable and
advisable to-day. A single black farmer,
or two or three SUCH surrounded by white
neighbors, whose families would either
shun, insult or pity, the children of the
Africans, would have no society, no stand
ing, no Indictment to effort but FIVE thou
sand of the most energetic and capable OF
the Black Race might easily purchase the
soil of County, settle it entirely by their
own people, under covenants which would
preclude White immigration or interior
ence. Such a County would necessarily
elect its own officers, create its own public
opinion, and supply to each member incite-
ments to effort and well-doing such as are
now enjoyed by Whites alone.
Heaven helps those. who help them
selves In the destined emancipation and
elevation of the Black Race, they have
something to do for themselves beside mar.
rating their own wrongs and inveighing
against the injustice of Slavery. They
have, in defiance of prejudice, to prove
themselves not merely entitled to Self-Gov-
eminent, but qualified to enjoy and improve
it. They cannot undertake this too soon,
nor pursue it too earnestly.

The Atlantic.

This steamer sailed FIVE days before the
Franklin, which arrived last night, after
boisterous passage Of above fourteen days.
The two ships may, however, have taken
quite different courses, so that the Franklin
may have had much less severe weather
than the Atlantic. At any rate, we do not
feel the slightest anxiety for the safety of
the latter. Some accident may possibly
have happened to one of her engines, but
even then she must soon make her appear
ance; and if compelled by such an accident
or by failure of coal to trust to her sails. she
is still in no sort of danger, and will only
suffer little more delay, But we do not
think many hours will elapse before we
hear of her.

Let us Elect the Next President by she
People

Ask the next hundred citizens you meet
what they think of electing Presidents by
a direct vote of the People, and at least
ninety will answer that they are decidedly
favorable to it. Most of them will add
that they always hare been so. And yet,
in defiance of this almost unanimity of SEN
timent in favor of such election, it is likely
enough to be postponed an age as it has
been for the last twenty years. What is
needed is practical plan of Popular Elec-
ton, and then hearty, concerted effort
among the friends of the principle to carry
that plan into execution.
1t will never do to rely on or urge plan
which requires the cooperation of Congress.
1t is Congress, in effect, which is to be
shorn of vast, unconstitutional power, by
enabling the People to elect the President
directly. Now Congress spends two years
mainly in intrigues with reference to the
nomination and election of President, the
next year in dividing the spoils, (the latest
of them among the Members, the leaner
among the wire workers and fuglemen az
home, and the remaining year in grum-
bling over the unfairness of the division;
when they are ready to commence the next
campaign. To deprive Congress of its vast
power over the selection of Presidential
candidates is one of the great objects Of the
Reform.
Nor will it answer to say, Let every
\ body who chooses run for President under
the old system, and let the strongest
win In the first place, this plan viii al
most uniformly throw the Election into
Congress, and thus deprive the People of
the little voice they now have in any cleo
ton, while seeming to give them one more
potential.
Nor is it practicable so to alter the
Constitution as to dispense with Electors
and have every qualified voter cast his
ballot directly for President, The Slave
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1851-01-17

States will never agree to this, since 1t
would give New York power in the cleo
ton of President equal if not superior to
that of all the Atlantic Slave States. 1t
is idle to waste time and effort on a project
which is certain never to be adopted. In
fact, we consider any change in the Federal
Constitution in our day little less than a
moral impossibility; but change which
shall take power from one section and give
it to another is manifestly so.
There is one simple way in which an
Election of President by the People can
be brought about. Let the People sternly
oppose all National Conventions or exclu-
sive nominations Of party candidates for
President and Vice President; let them
solicit no changes in the present COnstitu-
tional machinery Of Election; but let
Electors be nominated in each State by
each party as now, and let each voter de-
post his ballot for the Electoral Ticket of
his party indorsed or headed with the
names of the men of his choice for Presi-
dent or Vice President respectively. Let
citizens of known probity and intelligence
be designated for Electors, and pledged to
vote for such candidates as the voters of
their party may designate by their ballots.
Within ten days after the People shall
have voted we can tell not only which
party has chosen a majority of the Elec-
tors but whom those Electors are instructed
by their constituency to vote for as Presi-
dent and whom as Vice-President. This
will be a real Election by the People,
such as we do not now have for any office
whatever. Now each voter must vote for
the nominee of his party, although he may
consider his qualifications decidedly in
ferier to those of many others. Often, he
votes for men whom he despises in order
to sustain principles he holds dear. The
plan here proposed obviates all this, and
enables each citizen to stand by his princi-
pies and at the same time vote for the men
he deems most capable and worthy.
Friends of Popular Sovereignty will
you not aid in securing an Election of
President by the People,

Y THE News FROM EUROPE confirms
the previous indications of peace in Ger
many. All is substantially settled there,
though the Dresden Conferences are now en-
gagged in the business of smoothing off Sec
ondary difficulties. AS regards the great
question, that of precedence between Prus-
STA and Austria, the submission of the for
mer is complete. The infamy Of the Ger
man Princes, and above all of Frederic
William of Prussia, is now carried to an
ideal degree of perfection. The Elector Of
Hcsse Cassel, with the forger Hassenplug,
has returned in triumph to his capital
Every Constitution in Germany is now
worthless, every ruler may play the tyrant
without restraint. And finally q Prussian
army is about TO enter Schleswig Holstein
along with an Austrian one to subjugate
the Duchies to Denmark, that is to Rus
sia
From other countries the news is of the
usual texture. In Austrian Italy the revo-
tionary elements are far from submissive.
Conspiracies are constant, and the gallows
groans with the weight of detected patriots.
Things in France wear pitiful aspect
Just now. In Sweden the movement for a
representative reform has met with de-
cisive defeat.

Gov. Boutwell, delivered his Message 10 the
Legislature this morning After speaking of the
Unprecedented prosperity of the State he goes on
to say that the income has exceeded the expen-
ditures $4,000, and that the State Debt at Janu.

OF esta oishing single Representative Districts in
cities and single Senatorial Districts, and saws
that the Legislature has the undoubted right 10
make changes in the government Of Harvard
College.
He alludes 70 the proposed change OF electing
Members OF Congress by plurality vote on the
second or third trials
In reference 70 the Fugitive Slave bill. he saws
the provision for the delivery OF fugitvesfro ser
vice or labor was in the nature Of treaty between
sovereign States, and for its fulllment the Gene.
raj Government was clothed with sufficient An.
thority. The manner Of delivery has been left 10
Congress, and its acts are binding upon ever
State and each citizen, unless the Judicial triba
nails shall declare them to be unconstitutional. A
law thus passed may be, in the opinion of State
or individual, unjust, inexpedient or uuconstit,.
nonal, yet this opinion furnishes no excuse for
