We will now place the above footings in

Daily national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1854, 1854-07-24
DAILY NATIONAL ERA.

II will be seen that in the earlier years Of the
Republic, the free colored population, both
North and South, increased rapidly-in the
former section by general acts Of emancipation,
by which Slavery was gradually abolished
in the latter by voluntary emanoipatiops. The
latter have now almost entirely ceased from
the unfortunate state of feeling which pre-
walls in the Southern States; while the source
Of increase from Northern emancipation has
been dried up by the final extinction Of Slavery.
The number of slaves liberated by New York
and New Jersey, between 1910 and 1910, was
26,377. Pennsylvania passed gradual eman-
cipation act in 1880, which was further amend
cd in 1888, All are declared free, at the age
Of twenty eight, who have been born since
1880. Shareholders were forbidden, under a
heavy penalty, to remove their slaves beyond
the limits Of the State; and hence it is evident
that the emancipation was slow and gradual.
Similar restrictions were contained in the
emancipation acts Of the other States. The fol-
lowing table shows rapid increase of the free
colored population of Pennsylvania, from 1870
to 1920, BY which time the great bulk Of the
slaves became free. Since that period, the in
Grease has been slow:
