q ly imaginary, if not sometimes malicious.
e it is insisted that their presenc, would

laborers. If there ever could be prop

, men should write nothing for which they
, would not willingly be responsible thro'
time and eternity. Is it true, then, that
colored people can displace any more
white labor by being free than remaining

| they jostle no white laborcrs. If they
: leave their old places, they leave them
open to white laborcrs. Logically, there
S neither more nor less of it.
Emancipation, even without deporta
!. ton, would probably enhance the wages
= of white labor, aud very surely not reduce
them Thus the customary amount Of
labor would still have to be performed.
The freed people would surely not do
r more than their old proportion Of it, and
} very probably, fcra time, would do less,
. leaving an Increased part to whit elabor-
crs, bring their labor into greater de-
maDd, and, consequently, enhancing the
value Of 1t. With deportation, even to
limited extent, enhancing wages to white
labor is mathematically certain. Labor
is like any other commodity in the mar.
ket. Increase the demand for it, and
you increase the price Of it, Reduce
the supply of black labor by colonizing
the black laborers out Of the country,
and by precisely so much you will in.
white labor But it is dr. AIDED that the
freed people will swarm forth and cover
the whole land VIII liberation make
them any more numerous? Equally dis
tributcd among the whites of ;hc who'e
country, there would be but one colorcd
TO seven whites. Gould the one in any
way greatly disturb the seven? There
are many communities now having more
than one free colorcd person to seven
white, and this without any apparent
consciousness Of evil from it. The Dis
trict If Columbia and the States Of Ma.
ryland and Delaware are all in this con-
diton The District has more than one
free coIorcd to six whites, and yet, in It's ,
frequent petitions to Congress, | believe ,
it has never presented the prescnce of
free colored persons as one of its griey-
lnccs. But why should emancipation
South send the freed people North .
People of any color seldom ,un unless
here is something to run from. Here
otore coIorcd people have fed Ncrth to
'omc extent from bondage, and now
perhaps from both boz dacc and d4s,i,u-
ion; but, if gradual emancipation and
deportation be adopted, they will have
neither to flee from. Their own masters
will give them wages, at least until new
aborers can be procured, ard tie freed
men ia time will gladly give their labor
for wages, till new homes can be found .
for them in congenial cImcs and with .
people Of their own blood and race This
can be trusted on the actual
interests involved; and, in any event.
cannot the North decide for itself whe,h.
err to receive them?
Again, as practice proves more than
theory in &ny case. has there been any
Eruption Nortlward because Of thu aboi-
iShmcnt of slavery in the District of
Columbia last spring? What have sid
of the proportion of free colored persons
to the whites in the District Of Columbia
is from the census of 1860 having no
reference to persons called contrabauds.
nor to those made free bv the act Of Con
