Ii is apparent that the physical condition OF

succeeding census shows rapid dimInution IN
the rate of increase, until in some Of the States
there is an actual failing oil in their numbers.

The new born friends of General DICKSON are
quoting his opinions against the right of seces-
sion. They have made extracts from his cele-
brated proclamation to sustain them in their po-
sitions. II is known that the Sta rights party
condemned the frmness Of that proclamation.
Old Father Richie took exceptions to It. Mr..
Webster was more Than pleased The old con-
solicitation party, everywhere, were 10 a perfect
ecstacv. They quoted it then, as they do now.
Zen, Jackson saw that construction had been
put upon the proclamation that was never In
tended by him He issued a counter p-oclasns-
ton. and caused it to be published In the
"Globe." The following extract explains the
sod Hero's" views on the right of sst ession.
Will our Union friends subscribe to this doc
trine! Will they maintain with him tho rights
of the States?
g In case Of the violation of the Constitution
OF the United States. and the usurpation 0fpow-
ers not granted by it, on the part of the func :
tionaries of the general government, the State
governments have the right to interpose to pre-
vent the'evil, upon the principles which are set
forth in the Virginia resolutions of 1893 against
thy alien and sedition Law, and finally, that, in
extreme cases Of oppression (every mode of
constitutional redress having been songht In
vain,) tho right resides with the people Of the
several States to organise resistance against
such oppression confding in a good cause, the
favorte of Heaven, and the spirit Of freemen, to
vindicate their rights" w
1t will be seen from this extract, If General
Jackson does not go as far as some State rights
men feel justified, by the teachings of Jefferson
and Madison, in going, yet he is far in advance
OF the submissionists Of the present day.

Free Negroes.

The Christian statesman, the new colonial
lion paper of this city, contains the following
article on the fee negroes of this country. The
Statesman thinks the remedy for their decline is
colonization. But we find on referring to the
condition OF the Liberans, that they also have
not increased. On the contrary, the reports
show that the number now in Liberia is about a
thousand less than the actual number taken
there since the colony was founded.
WHAT BECOMES OF THEM?-We see II stated
that there has been no increase in the free col
ored population Of the Southern States within
the last ten years; and the following table shows
that in New England there has been an actual
diminufion of this class Of persons

During the last ten years there has been a
diminufion Of the colored population in the
State of New York, of no less than 2 $685. and
in none Of the other free States has there been
any serious increase, except In Ohio and Penn
sylvsnia. This is probably owing mainly to
the manumission of slaves by their owners, as IL
is well known that such mnnumissions are FIRE.

up their abode in these two States, particularly

the increase Of colored persons from 1910 TO
1850 is much less than II was during the pre-.
ceeding ten years. Colonization Herald.
These statistics present lameutable picture
Of the condition of the free colored people. II
is not to be wondered at that they begin 10 think
of colonization as remedy for their twofold
physical and social calaruites We are not
among those who attribute the condition of the
free people of color 81 their own idleneas and
soth we rather regard their unthrifty habits ms
an effect than cause. They are the victims OF
social and political oppression in every quarter
of the Union, which denies them the poor priv
ilege Of laboring for livelihood. Tradesmen
Of white complexion combine to exclude the
colored people from their several pursuits; and
even the domestic service is about to be taken
from them by the Influx Of Irish and other for
eigners Would it not be a miracle IL these
people should improve their condition under
surh circumstances Doubtless they have i'm
proved in q moral and intellectual point Of view ;
fact which is evident in the number Of good
writers and speakers which the coored race has
produced within the last few yesrs. But the fall
ing off in the numbers of the people shows
that their physical condition il lamentable.
II cannot be pretended that large numbers
have emigrstcd; for no movement of the kind
has taken piscs in rny direction. On the con-
