The Law against free negroes in contraventior
continues to keep up lively stir among the negroes
of that class, and among the police.
Numerous arrests of free negroes who were her,
before the LIST inst, when the law went into opera
ton, have been made. All such, upon due examina
tion, have sixty days time in which to leave th,
State. Only those who may have arrived since th.
first enforcement of the law are required to get away
within five days.
Most of the contravening free negroes arrested art
dashiug females of the skdress and saddlecoloret
class, who, whilst more less currupting the slaves
y with whom they come in contact add to the immo
rality of their houses and neighborhoods by the
money.making intercourse with white men. Th,
city ought to be quickly and thoroughly cleansed
all such pesterous residents, and are glad to SCI
the energy of the police in the matter though tha
energy in be stimulated by legal promise
of reward
Several days since we mentioned that two fire.,
colored men had availed themselves of the law per
hitting people of their class to select masters ant
become slaves and had selected their master and et
the necessary petition in the First District Court
Since then, several others have done likewise select
ing their masters, employing counsel and filing thei
petitions. This thing Of free negroes preferring Il
become slaves in the South to remaining free in th
North, we take it, is the most powerful proof of th
emptiness of Northern Abolition fanaticsm that ha
yet been offered.
