From the Hartford Times,

CoLoRED POPULATION IN New ENeLAND.--The
Buffalo Courier contains an interesting and in
structve article on the facts disclosed by the late
census in reference to the colored population in
the country. Their positions in the free States,
it we'll remarks, has never been calculated to ad
vance their own interests or to elevate them in
the estimation of those about them. They clus-
ter in the purlieus of large cities. living pre-
cariously and by the performance of the most
mental labor: or, if they do dive into the bush or
squat upon the prairie, 1t is to live in filth and
Incidence, content to chop wood by the cord, or
to exact the means of subsistence from the neg
ligent cultivation of four or five acres of land
Partly, no doubt, in consequence of these circum-
stances-from their general unfitness for the cli-
mate and pursuits of Northern latitudes-the re-
cords show rate Of progress as to numbers which
contrasts most strangely with that of the whites
by whom they are surrounded and even with
that which prevails amongst their own race in the
slave States. The Courier shows that in New
England, where the social condition of the negro
has the benefit of full measure of abolitionst
sympathy, this race has not increased as in the
South. While the total increase of the viii .es
in New England has been at the rate of sixty five
per cent, notwithstanding the constant influx of
fugitives, as compared with the census of 1910,
the census of 1850 exhibits an absolute decrease
In Connecticut the decrease in ten years is six
hundred and eighty-nine. In New Hampshire,
where no attempt as yet has been made to catch
runaway, the decrease amounts to about two
fifths of the whole.
The following table, showing the number of
eoored persons in each of the States at the peri
DDS TO which it refers ia from the Courier.
