The Black man, true child of the trop-
les, to whom warmth is like the breath of
life, fees from those bleak fields of the
North, in which the white man repairs his
fibre and renews his blood; preferring the
swamps and savannahs of the South, where,
among palms, cotton-plants, and sugar
canes, he finds the rich colors in which his
eyes delight, the sunny heat in which his
blood expands. Freedom would not tempt
him to go northward into frost and fog.
Even now, when Massachusetts and Con-
necticut tempt him by the offer of good
wages, easy work, and sympathiZing peo-
Ie, he will not go to- them. He only Just
andures New York; the most hardy of his
race will hardly stay in Saratoga and Mag
ara beyond the summer months. Since the
South has been made free for Sam to live
friendly North, in search of a brighter
home. Sitting in the rice-field, by the
cane brake, under the mulberry trees of his
darling Alabama, with his kerchief round
his head, his banjo on his knee, he is joy
Gus as a bird, singing his endless and fool
ishi roundelay, and feeling the sunshine
burn upon his face. The negro is but a
local fact in the country having his proper
home in a'corner-the most sunny corner
of the United States.
. The Red man, once hunter of the A He
ghanies, not less than of the prairies and
5he Rocky Mountains, has been driven by
the pale-f face, he and his squaw, his elk, his
buffalo, and his antelope, into the far West
ern country into the waste and desolate
lands lying westward of the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers. The exceptions hard
lY break the rule. A band of picturesque
peddlers may be found at Niagara; Red
, Jackets, Cherokee chiefs, and Mohawks !;
selling. bows and canes, and generally
spunging on those youths and damsels who
roam about the Falls in search of opportu-
mites to flirt. A colony, hardly of better
sort, may be found at Oneida Creek, in
Madison. county the few sowing maize,
growing fruit, and singing psalms; the
many starving on the soil, cutting down
the oak and maple, alternating the best acres,
pulling after their brethren who have
thrown the white mans gift in his
and their war-paint. Red Jacket at the
Falls, Bill Beechtree at Oneida Creek
the first selling beaded work to girls,
the second twist ing hickory canes
for bOys-are the last representa-
tives of mighty nations, hunters and
warriors, who at one time owned the broad
lands from the Susquehanna to Lake Erie.
Red Jacket will not settle; Beechtree is in
capable of work. The redskin will not dig,
! and to beg he is not ashamed. Hence, he
has been pushed away from his place, driv-
