BLACK COLONIZATION.

SenatS On tuo lItu ull. u ioTCtUio uIBuWcnt la
favor Of The Colonization of tho Negroes Of
this country in the West India Islands or along
The adjacent Spanish Main. Promising that he
was utterly opposed TO any scheme of ccmpul-

tcn in tropical America Of the full annual In
crease of our Negro population, with one or
more per cent. of the ptesent number, is per-
fectly fcasatls and that iti expense need not
be onerous. A few Of his calculations arc quito
startlipg-for instance:
1. The annnnl increase Of Slavcs in this
couptry ia about $3.50. The Great Eastern
steamship could alone transport tbis number
even to Liberia, making but eight trips per
auuun. 1t could, of course, transport icuch
larger number to Hayti, or to any region bor'
dcring 90 the COrbtean Sea. Six large cidi-
rary steamships could do the same. In fifteen
years. ak such steamers could depert the whole
Negro race 20 Bayti or Yucatsu.
g Negroes (according to George NJ. Weston,
who has written much and nby on this cub

duction of musttoes, the children of black
mothers and white fathers, be nc far more
abundant in Slavery than In Freedom. Mr..
Weston believes that Emancipation would re-
duce tie annual increase Of the coloIed popula-
ton of this country by fully ono-hOlf, sud Mr..
Doolittle adopts this conclusion. (We doubt it,
OF couree, this would render the deportation
of the Blacks much less tedious and costly.

SO far Mr.. Doolittlo, whoss views we re.
gard with profound respect, even while We do
not fully agree with them. That it is desirable
TO facilitate si encourage the voluntary colon.
ization Of tho colored race among US, We have
never doubted, and Mr. Doottle 10 mistaken
when he says:
"Mr President some would force ~ once the ,nspcI
patton OF h, whole population and the time and Ia
tho breath seovl all deo' of siding them In colonization
or en- ration"
The objection to Colonization on the part Of
Aboltionists rests on the notorious fact tha. il
ID quite generally presented as a vital condition
Of Emancipation. What Mr. d. urges above
with regard to the public sentiment Of Virginia,
Kentucky etc. is directly in point. The Pro.
Slavery class perceive rank. offensive odor
exhslng from negroes the moment they are sci
free. The moment tie Blacks cease working
lof nothing but liberal allowance Of cowhde,
they insist on driving them from the country.
IL is this besOtted, inhuinan h0tred--the bate
of the opprencr for his victm-which 10 shown
TO have no real foundation in prejudice against
negroes. by the fact that ii never begins 70
operate till they are made free--that Abolition.
