FREE NEGROES.

hEL y NIl(OlIS.
We take the following from the
Alabama Era, and recommend it to
the attention Of our Legislature now
in session at Nashville.
We believe that the sovereign rco-
pie Of Alabama desire that their next
Legislature should bcstow II portion
OF lis labor upon the Free Niger
question. Since the humane North
has made this the all absorbing, all
important theme Of political concern,
Our Southern Legislators should not
be entirety wantiag in point Of phian.
thropy. But on the con rary, they
should cultivate spirit Of generous
emulation towards the idolators OF
"wool ;and while these latter are null
ijiyIng the Fugitive slave law they
should provide for the proper disposi,
ton of free "cuIled pussuns" down
South.
This is question Of grave import,
and certainly demands the attention
of our next General Assembly, In
