deportsd and the American voters through
their representatives in Congress. -
cannot make il better known than 1t
already is. that strongly favor colonization,
and yet wish to say there Is no objectioa
urged sgainst the colored persons remaining
in the country which is not largely imagina.
~, If not somewhat malicious. It is insisted
that deportation should probably enhance
the wages Of white labor, and very surely
would not reduce them. Thus tho customa.
ry amount of labor would still have to be
performed. The freed people would surely
hot do more than their old proportion Of il,
and very probably ior time would dc less.
leaving an increased part TO white lsborers.
bringing their labor into greater demand, and
consequently enhancing the wages of it.

With deportation even to 4 limited e2.
tent, enhancing wages to white labor. s
mathematically certain. Labor is like any
other commodity in the market; increase the
demand Tor it and you increase the prics OF
it Reduce The supply of black labor by
colopzing the black laborers out OF tho
country. and by precisely SO much you in>
! crease the demand for, and wages Of whits
labor. -. ...-r ..-........,. -..,,
But tits declared that the freed people will
swarm iorth and cover the whole land.--
Are they not already in the land2 Will lib
GRAFTON make them any more numerous?--
Equally, distributed among the whites Of ths
whole country, and there would be but one
colo'ed to seven whites, Could the one in
any way greatly disturb the seven? "'4's
is it true, then. that colored people can
oisplace any more white labor by being free
than remaining slaves? II they stay in thsis
old places they jostle DO white laborefs. ff
they leave their old places they leave them
open to white laborers. Logically, there 10
neither more nor less OF it. Emancipation
even without their presence, would injure
and displace white labor aud White Aborers.
1t there ever could be q proper time fol-
mere Arguments, that time is surely not now.
In times like the present, men should utter
nothing for which ,h4y would net willingly
be responsible through time and eternity.
coMrARfs6N os THE RACES.
There are many Communities now has.
ing more than one free colored person ID
seven whites, and this without any appst.
ent consciousness of evil from it. The Dis
trict of Columbia and the States OF Maryland
and Delewaie, are all in this condition. The
District has more than one free col red to
six whites, yet in its frequent petitions 10
Congress, believe it has never presented
the presence OF free colored persons as ons OF
its grievances. But why should efh&bcipa.
tion South SEND the free people North?--
People Of any color seldom run, unless there
be something to run from? Heretofore, col.
ored people, TO some ex ent, have fed T0rth
from BONDAGE, and now perhaps, from bt!A
bondage and destitution; but If gradual
emancipation and deportation be, adopted,
they will have neither to, fee from. Their
old .aasters will give them wagec at least
until new laboreis can be procured, ami the
freed men ia turn will gladly give their Ia
Dor for the wages till neA homes can be
found for them in congeniai chimes, and With
people OF their own blood and race.
The WAR TO BE PUSHED ri ANY EvEN%.
III his proposition can be trusted oh the
mutua interests involved and in any event
cannot the North decide for itself Hhsther
to receive them? Again, as practice proves
more than theory ia any case has there been
any interruption of coored people north-
ward because Of the adjustment of slavery
in the District last spring. What | have
said ot the torportioh OF free colored persons
to the whites in the District m from the
census OF 1860, having no reiereuce to per-
. sons called contrababds, nor to those made
free by the act ot Congress aboiishing slasery
, here The plan consisting ofthsse articles ~
recommended, not but that restofation OF
the national authority would Bio accepted
with Its adoption; nor will the war nor pro-
, ceedngs under the proclamation of Sept. &c.
1862, be stayed because of the recommends
tion of this plan. It's timely adoption. I
doubt not, would bring restoration, and
thereby stay both. And notwithstanding
this plan, the recommendation that Congress-
provides by law for compensating any State
which may adopt emancipation before this
plan shall have been acted upon, il hsreby
: earnestly renewed. Such would only be an
advance part OF the plan. and the same ar 3.
guments apply to both. This plan Is recon-
, lnended as means, not iu conclusion OF,
! but additional 10 all others, for restoring and
> preserving the national authority throughout
the Union. The subject is presented ezclu-
> siyely 10 its economical aspect. The plan
would, am confident, secure peace more
speedily than can be done by iorce alone,
I while it would cost, considering amounts
) and manner OF payment, and times of ray-
t ment, and the amounts would be easier paid
e than will be the additional cost of the war
D if we rely solely upon force. It il most
{ likely likey-that it would cost ti6

CONSTITUTIONAL CONCURRENCE.
The plan is proposed, as permsneat con-
! st'tutiohal law, 1t cannot bee ,ms such
without the concurrence Of, first, two thirds
Of Congress, and afterwards three fourths Of
the States. The requisite three>fourths OF
0 the States will necessarily include seven oI
e the slave States. Their concurrence, II eb-
d tanned, will give assurance Of their severally
: adopting emancipation at no distant day, up
: on The new constitutional terms. This -.
e surancs would end the struggle how and
It save the Union forever. ! do not forget the
