OUR FEEE NEGRO PopULArroN.-Uu-
der this beading, we recently had ocea~
sion to speak in terms Of commentator
of a bill proposing to lid the State OF all
free negroes who have no legal right to
remaiu in it, bu, we feel bound to con
denim the attack whicl. has been made
IN the Senate, upon the rI.its Ut those
who aru exceptions to the rule we ex-
| pressed ourselves SO much in favor Of
| 4 bill was Introduced on Tuesday, by
Mr.. TUCKER, and we notice that ii has
received q favorable report from the ju-
dieiary committee, which prohibits the
giving or selling Of Intoxicating liquors
to fres@negroes, and We cannot but re-
gard the measure as an AM ustiiiab|e as
stuIt " y those rights as dear 10 those
possessing Them, as any that the white
population enjoy. It may be argued
that the passage and enforcement ofsuch
II law would remedy many evils, but the
ana argument might be urged in favor
Of a general Maine liquor law strictly
enforced, or any other piece Of moral
legislation. There are N the State AMY
worthless free blacks who cannot BE-
elected, or reduced TO any useful condi-
ton Of life, but at the sam time, it must
be remembered that our free colored
population comprises much wealth., it,
,el'igsrce, and respectabilitY, and il
would be mauifestIy unjust to attempt
to reach speojaltirs by a law iltat nus
necessarily act injurIously as a general
Thing. We contend and We Judge cor
rect,y al far as our observations have
extended, through u long series of years,
that tie mass oi free coIoral Persons
who belong in Louisiana, are sober ard
orderly aud we see nc good reason for
