ON THE RETURN OF FUGlTIvEs.
As TO the second article think ii would
be lmpractlcable to return to bondage the
class OF persons therein contemp plated
Some OF them doubtless in the property
sense belong to loyal owners and hence
provision is made in this article for com.
pensating such.
TIRE FUTURE OF THE FREEDMEN.
i The third article relates 10 the future of
the freed people. 1t does not oblige but
merely authorizes Congress TO aid in colo
nizing such as may consent. This ought
not to be regarded as Objectionable on the
one hani or on the other inasmnch as it
comes to nought unless by mutual consent
OF the people to be deported and the Amer
lean voters through their representatives
in Congress.
THE PRESIDENT FAvoRs COLONIZATION
l cannot make it better known than it
a lieady is. that ! strongly favor COLOMBIA
ton. and yet wish to say that there is an
objection against the colored persons re-
naming in the county. which is largely
imaginary. if not sometimes malicious. 1t
Is insisted that their presence womb niure
and displace white labor and white labor
ers-if there ever could be proper time
for mere arguments the time surely is not
now. In times like the present men sho'd
utter nothing fol- which they would not
willingly be responsible through time and
eternity.
A.HUMAYE VIEW.
Is ii true. then. that the coiored PEOPLE
can displace any more ckds labor By being
free than By remaining slqresg Ii they
stay in their Cwn places. they jos,le no
white laborers. IL they leave their old
pieces, they lie we them open to white la
borers. Logically there is reiihcr more OF

EMANCIPATION WOULD ENHANCE WHITE La

Emancipation. even without deportation.
would probably enhance the wages of white
labor, and, very surely. would not reduce
them. Thus the customary amount of la.
Dor would still have to be performed
The freed people would, surely, not do
more than their old proportion of il, and,
very probably, for time would 10 less.
leaving an increased part to white latorers
bringing their labor into greater demand,
and. consequently enhancing the value of
il. With deportation, even to limited
extent. enhancing wages to white laborers
Is Mechanically certain. Labor is like
any other commodity in tho market. In
crease the demand for it, and you increase
the price Of It.
Reduce the supply Of black labor by
colonizing the black laborer out of the
country, and. by precisely so much, you
will increase the demand for wages for
white labor.
Gxr BrerEAn EXPOSED. d So
But it is dreaded that the freed people
will swarm forth and cover the whole
land. VIII liberation make them any
more numerous? Equally distributed a.
mong the whites of the whole country and
there woul be but one colorea TO screen
rAiies. q, Md the one in any way greatly
disturb the seven? There are many COM
munities now having more than one free
colored persons to seven whites, and this
without any apparently consciousness Of
evil from il. The District of Columbia
and the States Of Maryland and Delaware
are all in this condition. The District has
more than one free colored to six whites,
and Jet in its frequent petitions to Con-
giess. ] believe it has newer presented the
presence of free colored persons as one of
its grievances.
WHY SHOULD THEY GO NORTH
But why should emancipation in the
South send the freed people North2 Pso-
pie of any color seldom run. unless there
is something to run from. Heretofore
colored people have Ael North. to some ex-
tent. from bondage. end now perhaps from
both bondage and desi tuition; but If grad
nal emancipation and deportation be a.
dopted, they will have neither to flee from.
Their own masters will give them wages,
at least till new laborers can be procured,
and the freed men in turn will gladly give
their for labor wages. till new homes can
be found for them in congenial chimes, and
with people of their own blood and race.
This proposition can. be trusted on the mu-
tual interests involved. and. in any event.
canno. the North decide for itself whether
to receive them. 3-tD titio 2itl
