WORTH THINKING ABoUT.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Times
suggests some ideas that, however they may
be disregarded by the Southern people in
their present excited condition, win yet
come home to them and claim their atten-
ton. In commenting on the probability
that the seeded states may yet obtain IN
acknowledgement of their Independence
from the General Government, he says
If the States which have attempted to Sc
cede from the Union succeed in their enter
prise, by the acknowledgement of their in
dependence on the part of this Government,
the bereavement will bring with it this con-
ISOLATION, at least, that we, at the same time,
get rid of hree,ftths of the slave population,
while parting with only about one-eleVenth
of the white race. In round numbers, the
fifteen Slave States have now 100000 of
slaves OF these the seeding states con-
tain 2, $50, 900, which leaves the Union on
lyI,65O,O0O. The extent of this relief can
be appreciated if we consider that the slaves
are now nearly an eighth of the population,
whereas with this reduction they will con-
stitute a little more than a seventeenth
We shall have, after the aggregate popula-
ton of the seeding states is taken away,
more than twepty-seven millions, of which,
as above stated, 1870 600 will be slaves
In 1850, with only %, 19I, 600 population,
we had 100000 slaves. In 1920, when
the aggregate population was 9,638, 600, the
slaves numbered I,538, 900, and the proper
ton ofthe latter to the former was as to
5 and I-hundredths.
The result OF secession will be, therefore,
to reduce the burden of slavery to within
manageable proportions. From l to 5, the
proportion of slaves to whites forty years
ago, to l to II at present, is a consolation,
at least, for the loss of South Carolina and
the SIX states which adopt her barbarous and
desperate policy; and when this deed of mad
ness shall be accomplished, it may be doubt
The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1861-03-26

full if the Free States will be in hurry to
take back into the Union the enormous ele-
ment of weakness and strife which secession
will remove.
He then takes up the project, which has
met with some favor among the Secession
lists, of passing a law prohibiting the impor-
tation of slaves from states that remain in
the Union. This proposition, he thinks,
will fail of accomplishing the end design
ed, and that its originators will be check
mated in the following manner
The talk of compelling the Northern
Slave States to join the Southern Confeder-
acy by passing laws prohibiting importa-
tions, is all Cannon. Such laws have
heretofore existed, but they were ever dead
letters on the statute books in consequence
of the demand for slaves. On the contrary,
the Northern Slave States have it in their
power to compel the Southern Confederacy
to receive their surplus, or even to come
back into the Union, by threatening the Alb
clifton of Slavery. The Free States will
gladly assist in the emancipation of the
l,650,000 now in the Union, whenever they
are called upon by their Southern neighbors
So let King Cotton beware.
