Iss day of szisnpa is more reoose tAaa

Then ve shall do ven to consider the

The opprssasd shall have been delivered

competency to provide for themselves. in
most cases. there is no well-grounded
doubt. Nor is it At all probable that any
considerable number Of the freed blacks
will find their way into tho Northern
States. It is much more probable that
they will make heavy exodus from the
North into the South already the facts
warrant such conclusions. For since
the abolishment Of slavery in Maryland,
large numbers Of refugees from bondage,
who had been residing North, have gone
down to Maryland to dwell in their old
homes, and in the midst Of former friends
and relations. Colored people regard the
South ss paradise, and will not be slow
to direct their steps thitherward just as
soon as they may with safety. Nor will
the people Of the Sonth, generally, regard
their presence in their midst as detrimen-
tai to the interests Of the county. As
hired laborers they will be very useful in
working the cotton and sugar plantations.
The enactment Of proper laws, and the or.
ganization Of a rigid police system will be
effectual in preserving order; no one
doubts it.
But we have not yet come to the ques.
ton which demands solution. What is
the future destiny of these peoplsi We
are concerned to know what lies before
them, and what is our duty in relation to
them1 The radicals who have long led
the van in the crusade against slavery,
and the war for emancipation, now take
infinite credit to themselves, for what
promises to be q realization Of their ardent
hopes. tits possible they may have &C.
complished considerable good; and yet
their labors have been. at best. but q COM
plication Of good and''evil. In very many
instances their measures have been un.
wise, and prosecuted with a frenzicd mad.
ness that was calculated to fetard rather
than to advance the cause of righteousness
and truth. Their spirit was but poorly
calculated to mould aud lead public sem
timent in the onward and upward direc-
ton. But God has wrought and the end
will soon reached-the morning dawns,
Heaven be praised. Now, what is our duty
in relation to the three or four millions Of
colored people in our midsti The radical
rcformer clamors for the removal Of all
disabilities, and the abrogation Of all dis
tinctions, 20 that there shall be no recog-
nixed difference between tho blacks and
tho whites. He would have al races
placed on the same level; the Caucasian,
The African. the Malayan, and the Ameri-
can Indian, should be united into one
Great civil and social brotherhood. But i
such union practicable Il It wise In
conception; and is il feasiblei We must
recognise the manhood Of all, and the
brotherhood Of al tho races ofmen-but
a union Of all embracing civil and
social equality is not . legitimate and
necessary result. Distinctions now OK
ist which present insuperable barriers;
We need not stop 10 speculate in regard 70
the producing causes bot they are real,
and most effectually embasrase the ends
that ars contemplated by radical and Uto-
oian refoemen. The negroes Of tho Unt-
ted States are IN inhomogenecus element
which cannot become incorporated with
our nationality. God hes made distinc-
tions and differences which our poor puny
| efforts ohau nNve1 be oose 10 remove.
