Our neighbor OF tho Times, in discussing
Mr.. Brownies scheme, exposes, besides its in
humanity, it's orudlty No place is provided to

driven forth to seek shelter where they may
find 1t, or be enslaved az telons We cannot
suppose that such an alternative was within
the contemplation of the member of King
George. In his eagerness to abate what he
| considered nuisance, he lost sight Of the first
dictates OF justice and humanity
As to the objection to this whole schemc
urged 10y our correspondent, Junius,n that tho
taxing the stakeholder to remove the free ne
gro implies the power and is the antecedent tn
taxing him to get rid of his slaves, that might
havo been very potential consideration some
years ago, before the Shareholders were sold
out by the late Reform Convention Now, that
property and industry are unrepresented, slave
holders are mere tenants-at-w will, and can only
obtain as favor what before they could com
mand as of right
10 our dealings with this unfortunate popu-
latlon we would be guided by humanity and
justice. We would not drive them from the
State M criminals, nor subject them for re-
naming here to harsh and cruel treatment
We would aid such of them as might desire TO
emigrate to Africa, because that might con-
tribute to their welfare. But beyond that, wa
would not go. Anything like com pulsion would
be abhorrent to humanity and Justice.

FREE NEGROES.

We publish communication from an intel
lgent planter, on the policy Of removing the
free colored population from tho State. Hi,
views ARE not without force, and will attract
attention
10 the multiplicity Of other engagements, We
have not been able, until lately, to give any at
tention ~ this subject. la fact, we were mol
aware OF the steps that had been taken, OF
which were proposed in respect to it. We rec.
objected, that some years ago, Gov. Smith got
up some excitement in regard To it but with,
hs disappearance from the scene, we supposed
the whole matter had relapsed To its original
Dothingness. There was something malpropye
in the idea OF his undertaking 10 Danish from
the State class, many Of whom, in all the
relations OF lie, were respectable and m
good citizens ~ he was himself But they were
not voters--they had no frisnds-and were,
therefore, fit subjects for the unfeeling and ty.
rannical experiments Of dcmagogues
We learn that it is now proposed b. adopt
rigorous measures for the expulsion Of the
whole class within "A few years Mr.. Browne
of King George, has introduced bill, in ei.

money 10 be appropriated for their removal Il

the treasury. This IL stringent enough, in all
conscience. II dscards all considerations Of
humanity and justics--and IL is not possible,
We think, that II can ever receive tbs sanction
Of the Legislature Of Virginia.
Mr., Bottom, Of A. has introduced mider

white man is less manageable than free ne
gro OF the same bad traits and is far greater
pest. But there are many free c0lOred people
who are industrious sober aud useful members
OF the community, and 20 FAR tO atone for the
general wOrthlessness of their class. Beside
iii towns and in many districts of country, they
perform useful functions, and supply valuable
assistance to farmers and others during hnr
vest and at other busy periods Of the year
There are $4,000 in the State at this time
and the sudden abstraction Of that humber
from the labor of the State would produce
great Inconvenience, aud would be seriously
felt IN many parts OF the Commonwealth
The idea has gone forth that they increase
more rapidly than any other portion of the
population; and their numbers-in 1890 then
only 1856, and in 1850, SO S29-are adduccd
as evidence of the fact This demonstration -
more apparent than real The increase is not
denled-but 1t Is owing TO emancipation. not
births. For many years, large numbers were
set tree by their masters, and permitted 10 re-
main 10 the State That is no longer the case
Since the prohibition they have increased more
slowly than either the whites or blacks From
1880 to 1910, the increase was little over 600

lowing table shows the progress of their rise

by the classification of The EreRiHg Post of
the Senators who voted against Gen. DIS
confirmation, that that gentleman owes his
place to the Wings. 1t appears that eight dis
tiDguishea Democrats voted against Gen. Dix,
On the ground that he was not sound on the
Slavery question. The Wings, if they had
been at all inclined TO embarrsss either the
Administration or the Democratic party, by
uniting with the insurgent eight could have
prevented Mr.. Dix's confirmation. We are
rejOiesd that they allowed no such petty mo-
tves to sway them, but stood fast by sound
doctrine,
Let Gen. Pierce and the Democrats be
thankful to the Wigs. They could hardly do
without the CONSERVATIVE and patriotic sOun-
ellis and votes of this badly beaten party.
