iOiIl Jllt N. Too Much "Nigger. "

From the N. 0. Courier
 Too Much "Nigger." Senator Douglas recently at Chicago said tha he thought the people of the northern States having given their attention to niggers abou1 four years, owed a little thought and care tC the whites. Gerritt Smith gave farms to SC. veral thousand triggers, but they were so lazv so prone to sell the landed bounty of the grea, abolition millionaire for whiskey, and such pool "coots" generally, that he gave up in disgust.- lie was resolved not to bleed any more for bleed | Ing Kansas, and to make no more donations to ! the Idle black rascals who had run away from ther only sphere of usefulness.
 Somebody defines the triple state of the poor by comprising them in three classes-the Lords poor--the devils poor--and poor devils Mani. ieStly, she selslblc portion ot the northern peo- pie are coming to the conclusion that the free negroes among them are the poorest of "poor devils" NObod cares for them and they care for none but themselves. When they first run away they are lionized. They are helped along towards frozen Canada by numerous philanthro- lists. They are supplied with plenty of cast oi1 clothes, and when their benevolent hosts are very taEatlcal they seated at table with thelr wives and daughters. But the prestige of herolsm soon wears away and then the run- away negro sinks to his true evel--a beggar or thlet. lie can get no work, eff he wants it, which IS seldom) for white men will not work with him. He is either despsed or feared bv most of those with whom he meets. He be- comes an idle, useless vagabond, perpetually descending to the barbarism from which the healthy discipline of slavery had raised him, a curse to the community he infests with his ore sence.
 We find this item in northern paper:
 "Fred Douglass publishes d card in the Wa tertown (N. Y) Journal, expressing great in disnation. because the propretors of a certain hotel in that town refused to entertain him on account ol hls col r."
 Poor Fred He Is not half so much at fault as the stupid fanatics whuse duty It was to send hlm back to his owner fifteen years ago. Fetcd. toasted, carreaseed, listened to, spoiled by the aholltoniSts, he finds that he is only a niger after all, stunned hated and despised because he Is out of his place, out of his natural ele. ment.
 A sensible editor in Philadelphia quotes the following:
 " The free negroes have been driven out of Plqua, Ohio, by the white population for their muecency and insults to ladies. One of them was whipped and another was tarred and feath- cred"
 He adds:
 Served them right. We hope the example will be universally followed. The insolence and domneerlng arrogance of this worthless class ot creation are becoming past bearing every where. We should be quite willing to see the negroes ot all colors, white and black, straiyh hair and curled the aboiiionlsts and the darkies. sent to some far distant region where they could colonlze, fralernze, i'll freedom and equali- ty."
 Now, all that our disgusted northern neigh, bors need do IS just to send them back where they eiong We are persuaded that the peo- pie of the " free" States would be glad to get nd ot the nulsances, and we can assure them that in spite of the bad influences they have been under they can be restored to comparative usefulness. Send them home Three or four hundred thousand northern white men are out of work and ready to starve for the want of it. Then send back few thousand of our runaway slaves that there may be bread, and room and work for your own starving poor. Our slaves are well clad aud we'll fed; why then do you steal and starve them?
 The condition of all northern niggers is pitiful, but that of the colored gentry of Boston must excite peculiar sympathy. Niggers are "fellow citizens" in Massachusetts and vote for legisla. tors, governors and congressman. Lately few of them assumed the civic right of bearing arms and of forming military company. How they got on Is told in the following paragraph from a Boston paper:
 "THE CoLoRED MILTTARY-PARADE AND LEvEE OF THE LIBERTY GUARD"-A military organization composed of colored residents, con- manded by Louis Gaul, and entitled the Lib erty Guard" made their first public appearance yesterday, with twenty-nine muskets and Bonds Cornet Band. They had no uniform, but their civic dress was tidy and becoming.- They have never received charter, and 1t was understood they were allowed to appear in our streets with firearms by special permit from the proper municipal authorities When they marched up State street at 31s o'clock, yester day afternoon, there had assembled an immense number of persons--crowdmg the thorougfare to an unusual extent It was with much diff cultv, and only by the aid of the police, tha, they made their way through the street, the crowd pressing hard, and exhibiting great dis. satisfaction at the spectacle by hissing, hootins and yelling. They weathered the storm, how ever, and continued their march through the principal avenues of the city. There were seveaal disas asreeable occurrences, however, anC when in the vicinity of Charles street the crowc became very turbulent Lieutenant William. received severe blow from heavy missile whereupon the company rallied and drove the assailants upon the common. It is to be re gretted that the Guard could not indulge il their military evoluiions without molestaton' , This was very cruel treatment. If the Bos ionians will bestow citizenship upon niggers | they ought to take them to their bosoms il cordial fraternity, instead of hooting, hissin, and pelting them in the streets. Niggers low, military parades and processons of all kinds | This trait in African character is we'll under stood in the south, and is sometimes turned t. profitable account. We remember journeyin, by steamboat up the beautiful Alabama, on sultrv day in August, when the water was s' low that our light draught sternwheel boat oftel got aground on the bars. In such cases th boat could get on only by the main strength 0 her African crew. Sometimes it was necessar, to fasten cable to distant tree, and warp uI stream by means of the capstan. On the frs occasion of the kind we were slightly startled by the captains order: "Get out your guns boys, and shoot!" Our anxiety was considera ply relieved when eight or ten negroes seized
