THE PgES1DGNTGAL SOLUTION OF
OrTsy FROSELEa.

No one who has not thoughtiully and ear.
nestly considered President Linc0ln's late Extra
Message will be likely to realize how admirable
and comprehensive are its suggestions, and how
surely their adoption will conduce TO National
integrity and internal peace. Look, tor mo-
ment, at the question Of Negro expatria'ion,
which il one of the chief difficulties Of our 20.
sition. There are mary worthy and good men.
with ten times more Of the other sort who hold
that. whenever Slavery is abolished, the Negroes
should be sent out Of the country. We have
much charity for this opinion, for we once held
if: bat we are now convinced that it is nm
error. That the negro race, wherever tree,
Will gradually migrate misunderstanding the
less popuous West Indies, Ceatgal America,
aud the adjacent portions of South America,
.e believe. Climate, soil, natural products,
ease Of obtaining o rude yet ample subsistence,
and the ready determination with Blacks OF
the Indien and moDgrel races who now
exist in those regions, and who are nowlse
above orr Southern negroes IN the social scale
Tor even in their own opnon-will all attract
thom that way. But If Slavery were ended
I Tomorrow. We are confident that even south
| Carolina would be in no hurry 70 expel from
her soil the most industrious and productive
half Of her pecple--tliat portion among whom
drunkards and proAigates are scarce, while ~
oll.cc.seekers, bar-room lonnsrrs, and general
hravlers have ye. to be developed. State
can SPARE its idlers far better than lis work
era. and il is only from dread OF their iniu-
ence Oh the Slaves that siaveholdlng people
ever desire the expulsion OF their Free Blacks
/ We're Slavery dead this day. even the Carolina
aristocracy would prefer as laborers On their
plauta.ions the negroes to whom they are ac-
eu,fomed. aud whose manners are respectful
and Submissive to any immigrants by whom
they could be- promptly replaced. IL is quite
likely that. in time. White labor would demon
..raie It's superior energy aud intelligence BY
driving out the Black; buf. for the present,
the Carolina pautgrs could generally hire their
ex.sla,es more satisfactorily to themselves than
they could replace them from any quarter.
The Presidents proposition leaves this whole
subject to the States respectively. Ii any State
choo,es to exile its Negroes. ii sin do SO; the
Nation will not medilo with the matter in any
way When Slavery dies, the National peril
I is ayer.ed and tie National concern ceases. All
beyond il RENTED 10 local discussion and
control.
So with regard 20 paying for slaves The
Nation extends Tecuniar! AID 20 the States, ia
order TO I'd Itself of great danger; but it
I has nothing 10 do with paying for slaves. Sup
pose. for instance. Half Million Dollars were
voted to Delaware 70 secure the emancipation
Of her slaves. Her people might see Il, 10
assemble convention, accept the money, and
abolish Slavery just a. New-ioIk CT Pennsyl-
yania lid, without paying cent 20 tie slave
hold,rs. We presume they would in fact do
otherwise; but this il "a purely domestic mut.cr.
Slavery being abolished the Stipulated rum
would be paid to he state, even though she
paid no iartbiug of it to her sIayehOIdere.
. \or do we believe the payments to the STATES
would be at al 50 heavy as seems TO be gon-
orally supposed, though wo trust IL viii be-
liberal. for il is ju.t az certain a. that ar
il ii.hter than water that Ne bGEishBcM 81

palpab le-ihat the arabic SOL oil 4 rec State
IA worth double to treble that Of Slave
State, there being no Other ground O. Disparity;
. and ii would be- most unjust TO igGore tins
lat in settling the cost OF emancipation.
Here, for instance, Is Il Maryland planter, with
au estate of tSo thousand acres, which lie
;s by the help OF one hundred and fifty
slaves. Those slaves, big aud little, aLle-bodied
and mpolcnt, he could rel, We will say, for
$500 per head Or $4,000 in all; aud this is
the price which neighboring planter would
3 have 10 pay for them, whether he bought the
, plantation or not But that plantation under
Slavery, is worth bat so per acre; while, in
Free State, it would readily sell at 500 per
acre. Now, the $4,000 which Emancipation
Will add 10 the value OF that estate must, III
J simpe Justice bs deducted from tho market
value Of tho slaves, so that the planter, roceiv.
iLg 500, 600 under general emancipation,
viii be az well paid and as well oil rs though
he had sold them for $4,000 to trader or
nrighboring planter. We might urge that
, most planters, being human, would much
prefer emancpntng their slaves to selling them
. into further bondage; but We viii let ihat
lass.

of approval, keeps NJ a steady fire Of hostility
