mcnt of its resources The laws that rcg-
ulatc supply and demand will maintain their
force and the wages Of the laborcr will be
regulated thereby. There is no danger that
the great demand for labor will not operate
in favor Of the laborcr Neither is sufc-
lent consideration given to the ability of
the freedmen to protect and take care OF
themselves 1t is no more than Justice to
them to believe that as they have received
their freedom with moderation aud iurbcar-
ance, SO they will distinguish themselves
by their industry and thrift. and soon show
the world that in condition Of freedom
they are sclEsustaining and capable Of Sc
lccting their own cmDloymcnt and their
own places of abode: of insisting for them
selves on a proper remuneration. and of es-
tablishing and maintaining their own asy-
lumns and schools. II is earnestly hopcd
llldl lDSItdu bi Wasting away IlcN Will, DN
their own efforts, establish for themselves
a condition Of responsibility and prosperity.
1t is certain tfat they can attain to that
condition only through their own merits
and excrtons In this connection the query
presents itself whether the system propos-
ed by the bill will not. when put in complete
operation, practically transfer the entire
care, support and control Of four millions
Of emancipated slaves to agents, overscers
or taskmasteIs, who, appointed at Wash
ington, are to be located iii every county
and parish throughout the United States
containing ireodmen and refugees. Such Il
system would inevitably tend to such a
concentration Of power in the Executive
which would enable him, if 50 disposed, to
control the action Of a numerous class and
use them for the attainment Of his own po-
lltcaI ends.
| cannot but adj another very grave OBJ
lection to this bill The Constitution i'm
! peratively declares III connection with tax
alton that each state shall have at least
one representative, and fixes the rule for
the number to which IL future times each
State shall be entitled Il also provides
