ever, that any such negro may voluntarily

er shall be that of her children under
twelve years of age; all such over twelve
may also select master. Various other
provisions in regard to such negroes are
set forth. All other free negroes, of twelve
years, not provided for in the preceding
sections, and not over 55 years of age, to
be hired out for term of ten years, to
bona fide resident of the city or county,

freedom and elect to be slave for life to
any white citizen in this State. No free
negro shall hereafter acquire or hold any
real estate by deed, will or otherwise, nor
shall any real estate hereafter be devised
to any person in trust for any free negro.
The bill further provides that any free ne
gro owning real estate may sell and con-
vey the same, if he be over 55 years of
age, at any time within two years from the
first of March next, and if under 55 years,
within three months from said date; should
any free negro refuse so to sell and con-
vey, the county commissioners, or mayor
of Baltimore, shall do it, and apply the
proceeds to the school fund.
The above is hasty, but, it is believed,
pretty clear abstract of the provisions of
the several bills. Their novelty, if moth
ing else, will, no doubt, attract considera-
BILE interest and elicit no little comment
and discussion.
The Baltimore press meets the odious
intention of Mr.. Jacobs in calm and firm
language. Now, Mr.. Editor, we can but
hope that the good people who have in
other days resisted odious enactments
against colored persons, will stand up for

renee mill calamity, among others that could
be mentioned. But, with me, a sufficient
cause for going to work lies in the fact that
we are watched in all our doings by the
white man, whether friend or foe, and our
movements are looked upon and weighed
by them at this time as so many proofs
either for or against our rights as men.
May not this, then, incite our leading men
in the various Northern cities to form some
plan by which the colored people might
be seen as persons who not only feel IN
interest in each others welfare, but are
ready and willing to manifest their feeling

THE APPEAL OF THE ARKANSAS
EXILES.

Mr.. EDIroR:-The appeal of the exiles
from Arkansas published in your paper of
the 4th inst, has suggested to my mind
the duty of our people in the free States to
make some efforts towards alleviating, as
far as they are able, the condition of these
unfortunates. We are indeed living in
perilous times, and it may be truly said of
us that we are being tried to test the proofs
of our claims to manhood Year after
year laws more iniquitous and burdensome
are made by our enemies, that they may,
if possible, crush out our spirit and ener-
gy; and, with these facts before US, would
it not be well for our people to bestir them
selves to render all the assistance possible
to our more distressed brethren. We have
precedents for this duty, given by hewhite
man throughout this country. who, though
at difference on the slavery question and
other subjects, yet remember that they
are brethren, and as such hasten to respond
to the wall of distress in the hour Of need.
As illustrations of this fact. witness the
The weekly Anglo-African., 1860-02-18

choice of competent judges not connected
with them, to decide upon the merits of
contributions of compositions, drawings,
paintings, worsted work, embroidery, fine
needle work, displays of taste in making
and decorating articles of wearing apparel,
and fancy work of all descriptions. For
this object, place upon each member small
tax; let there be a collection taken up at
each meeting of visitors and members.
There would, without doubt, be many
among our liberal-minded young gentle
men who would take pleasure in aiding an
enterprise SO worthy of their approval and
encouragement A display of their names
in connection with the donation in the
"Anglo," once noticed would have the de-
sired effect, and many contributions would
flow in from all sides.
By the opening of this new channel,
new aspirations and new enterprise would
be called into action, which might have
lain idle for years. This may indeed be
the opening to greater deeds or acts than
have yet entered the brain of our down
trodden and stigmatized people. Our re-
ward will go hand in hand with the satis-
factory increase and prosperity of this un-
dertaking. The result must be to lead the
young men, or large number of them,
from the gay saloons, the ball room, the
the theatre, and other demoralizing amuse-
ments, destructive of health and morals,
and attended with ruinous expence not
consistent with their limited incomes. l.
will encourage love for the society of
refined and intelligent young ladies, and
will command honor for them where they
could not claim the respect their unknown
virtures are entitled to. 1t establishes a
firm basis for society; iteducates the young
lady for society as we'll as for the domestic
duties which she must sooner or later ex-
pect to take upon herself; it will raise up
in our midst those who had hidden their
talent in the earth. 1t will call to light
TIM hidden diamond, whose value will only
have to be known to give its due apprecia-
ton, and find place in the most conspicu-
Gus spot in the constellation of Afric's ris-
ing stars, there to shine brighter and
brighter, until the dark stain of ignorance
and inferiority shall be wiped away, and
we stand forth people acknowledging no
Superiors upon Code foot-stool, and are at
last admitted, the world over, to all the
rights and immunities of man and broth
er, and are acknowledged citizens of all
civilized Christian nations. OLD NAN.
