DEoADENcE OF THE NEGRO. Tho
following remarks are from the New
York Express:
The neglect of the infants by their
colored parents seems not only unna-
tural, but monstrous, and those who
know, declare that, among what are
called brute animals, from the lion to
the monkey, and from the COW to the
cat, there is infinitely more care of
their young than among the negroes
of the South. In state of slavery,
whatever the wrongs of the institu-
tion, there was shown at least a pro-
per care of the young, from the time
they came into the world until they
could take care of themselves. The
freedmen, in the absence Of the old
supervision of themselves and their
labors, strangely and shamefully i.o-
glect this duty. In the former case,
the care may have grown out of self
lsh considerations respecting the fu-
ture slave-but one would suppose
the natural instincts of mother, and
the proper affections of a father,
would at least prove equal to the inte-
rests of the stakeholder. tits not so,
however, and, since the war, thou.
sands and tens of thousands have died
from neglect at the South. General
Grant, nearly two years since, esti-
mated the reduction in the slave
population as equal to nearly twenty
five per cent. This was caused by
the war; but the mortality is still
immense, and, in all human proba-
bility, will continue. Education and
increased civilization may diminish
the extraordinary number of deaths,
but they will go on, in undue proper
ton to the whites, and until, as many
believe, the whole black race will be-
come nearly extinct. Should the war
of races not be avoided, which the
present political tendency of things
is to bring on, the time for the ex-
tinction of the colored race will be
hastened Giving the freed negro,
in his present state, the right of suf-
frage, or placing him in the jury-box
and in the scbool-house with white
children, will not prevent the great
fact of the broad difference which
exists between the two races. Many
intelligent Republicans already see
this, and one of the leading minds
among them, Il day or two since, de-
clared to us that it is morally and
physically impossible for the two
races to live together in the equal en-
joyment of the same political rights.

GOOD acknowledgements Vance,
i'll letter to some colored peple in
North Carolina, says:
Your old masters do not como
to you eating their words and giving
the lie to every profession Of their
lives; nor do they come betraying the
rights and liberties of their own
color to ingratiato themselves with
yours. Many others do, however,
and the majority of your people will
believe them, until they learn very
plain and simple truth; that bad
man among the whites will be just
as bad, or worse, among the blacks
and the change of sides is far from
making an honest man of a hypocrite
and trickster.
Much damage will doubtless be
done before your people see the de-
signs of those who wish to lead them
now, but L hope soon for better
things. When actual and bitter ex-
perience has opened your eyes, then
will be our time to address you with
q hope of success. When you come

and labor combined in friendly effort,
how dependent the one is upon the
other, and how ruinous to both is
enmity and distrust, then I shall
hope to see the day when slavery
shall be abolished in fact, both for
black and white, and when, animated
by common spirit or industry,
harmony, and love OF country and
of human progress, all shall labor
to make our State blossom as the
rose, and turn her waste places into
seats Of refinement and delight. My
word for it, my friends, there is not
a good man among your former
masters, but prays for the hour to
come when he may, without disfran-
chising himself, work for You, As
you are to be citizens, we want you
to be intelligent citizens; rs you are
to be our loving neighbors. In every
aspect of the case, it is our true in
terest to help you fit yourselves for
the new life to which you are called.
