petites must be appealed to and moulded into
shape so as to make them subservient to the
same end. BY the introduction of the white
laborer, and intelligent foremen to manage and
superintend them, we would learn many valua-
Bile lessons fromthem as to the best and most
profitable methods of managing free laberers.
Many people of the South with their ancient
prejudices clinging to them against free white
laborers, cannot look with favor upon any sys-
tenn of free labor, especially of white men. But
this prejudice must give way sooner or later.
The reasons which made free white labor objec-
tionabe among us have passed away, and most
cogent ones, il strikes us, are now presented
for its introduction at the earliest day practica
bic Look at the northwestern States. They
have been the recipients of the bo,nties Of that
labor which we should now seek TO divide with
them. They are traversed with railroads and ca
mails, and prosperity has marked their onward
march. Again the introduction of the laboring
white men will have the tendency to push out
the negro. He will emigrate, thus lessening
the number and burden upon the country. If,
when he comes in competition with the white
will, listless of the future, like the Indian, he
will seek another home. Finding he cannot
live, his instructive nature will direct his stops
further southwark, where nature in her bounte-
ous profusion supplies subsistence with the least
exertion. This would be a desirable end, and
accomplished without any injustice to the race;
because, failing to discharge che responsibilities
Incumbent upon them members of society,
they flee from them. A frequent expression
now is, that people would not care for the ne
gro being freedif the country could be freed of
his presence. This is now impracticable. The
general government is too much embarrassed to
assume the vast outlay it would require to col
onize them. They must be removed in some
other way. And il they refuse after all, legiti-
mate and just means have been used to become
useful and profitable members of society, and
in self-defense we are compelled to introduce
another class of people TO supply their places,
no scheol of ethics can condemn US, since ''self
preservation is the first law of nature"
