Many Of the Republican journals publish
with apparent gee, the reported negro es-
opponents from the Slave States, going in
to Canada. This is all wrong. The ne
groes, every mothers son and daughter Of
lem, ought either to be with those who
want them, or where white men do not
care to congregatel Sooner on later, the.
Canada fugitives will be driven from the
Queens American dominions with the or
der to never return. The Northern States
will then be oyer-rlm with the starving dar-
kies. DmplctM ddrettser.
Republican papers are blamed for rejoic-
ing at the escape of fugitive slaves into
Canada It's truethatthe Republican press
are in the habit ofgiying pleasurable notice Of
such events, moi because they go into Can
ada or into any other particular locality,
but because they escape from bondage
The immense immigration of negroes into
Canada and their consequent increase by a
per centum much greater than that Of the
whites viii not fail yet to command the IN
reference of the Government. The result
may be to stop the immigration or to ex-
pei the negroes. Self-presewation will re-
auire one or the other resort. But this
fact presents the strongest argument why
Republican principles should rule. The
two races were never intended to be one
people. They are suited to different eli
mates, and placed until the wickedness Of
man brings them together, on different con
tinents to mingle each with themselves, not
with eachother, in any capacity. The en-
acting Of State, Territorial, or National
laws, by which the blacks will be kept
among us either as slaves or as citizens is
the preparing our own misunderstanding
our own funeral pile. The negroes free in
Canada increase so fast that in future day.
if not expelled, they will out-number and
e1ainguish the whites. If expelled, they
swarm upon our free States, and we suffer
the baleful influences Of a corrupt associa-
ton, and must likewise expel or be out
numbered ard subdued This is theory
adduced from fact-the fact, which stats
tics show to be true, that the blacks In
crease everywhere faster than the whites
In the slave States, statistics show them to
be longer lived, much healthier people
and their ratio Of increase 70 be much great
er than that of the whites. Does any one
need to be told Of the result? And has
any one so little love for his own race as
not to seek aremedys That remedy is not
in extending slave territory; nor is it in
making homes amongst us for the free
blacks. It is false charge upon the Re
rublicans that they seek to do the latter.
People have mistaken idea ofrepubliean-
ism, and hence, when in a Topeka consti-
tuition Republican Convention declares
that blacks, free or slave, shall not be adj
mitted into the State, comes the cry that
republicans are not sincere The Republi-
an party is not the creature of sympathy |
or the negro; ii is the offspring Of a desire
o secure the purity ana liberty Of our own
ace forever. This can be done now by
providing a district in Central America or
elsewhere, where they may be colonized by |
themselves, and have government and
nationality Of their own. After time it
could not be done, and we bear the sin Of
refusing to perpetuate the flee government
given to US, and of fastening an evil day
upon posteFity.
