JeiFersonan of the llth instant, is sume-
what dissatisfied, with the view that | took
of his article Of the 2sth ult,mo. Z. b. in
| his communication OF the 2Sth ut. makes
use Of this language; "Rsther than permit
/ the increase by emigration Of our colured
population, lei us devise the best means o i
getting Iid OF those already within our bor-
der. Ii God had Intended that The two
races should live and comminglo together,
| lie would not have built such wall Of sep
atation between them.'
In hts communication OF the !ith instant
he says that | purposely m,srepfesented him
as being in favor OF the explosion OF the col

ther that, "no candid resdes Of my, article
can suppose for moment, that iutended

Mr.. Z. b. please tell us what means can
there be adopted 10 accomplish your object,
but compulsoryi IL the free negroes Of Ohio
wished TO leave the state at the present time
they could readily do so. but suppose they
do not choose to leave, what means would
you adopt TO get rid Of them, that would
not be expulsion. Any means without pow.

| apprehend many Of those in the state are
quite wealthy. and perhaps don't desire to
change their residence, and would not do
so without extreme compulsory means. Then
please tell us how you con "get u OF those
already within our border' without com.

reader OF your communication would read.
ily discover that you are not only in favor
OF keeping the flee negro out OF Ohio but are
likewise in favor OF ''adopting the best
means Of getting rid Of those already within

two ways 10 accomplish thot end, one is
compulsory, and the otLef is 10 leave It op-
tional with him TO go-and the last method
would undoubtedly be very inefficient.
