The increase in the negro population OF
the United States in the decade from 1850
to 1860 was nineteen per cent, and in the
decade from 1860 to 1870 was twelve per
cent, and but for the war during the latter
period would have been at least fifteen per
cent. Those States whose per cent. OF gain
has been less than these average rates have
comparatively decreased in that population
by emigration, and those were the gain
has been greater than the natural increase
have enlarged it by immigration. From the
geographical position Of these respective
States it is evident that the flow Of emigra
ton has been uniformly South and partly
West. Iithis continues, as it probably will,
the negroes will monopolise Florida and
Southwestern Texas, and as the white pop
ulation presses on their heels, and to their
exclusion from their present field of labor,
they will eventually pour into Mex
leo and Central America. The
pressure of the white race, to the
! displacement of the black, viii probably
ever and at least be in proportion to the
preponderance of the former over the lat
te r, and which, in 1870, (by the census OF
the above States and Territory, exclusive
OF Missouri and Delaware) was seven mil

The next table refers TO the increase Of
negro population in those Northern States
which best illustrate limited Northerly
movement.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-10-06

This rand increase is, no doubt; st
tributed to the social ana political attrac-
tious which have found, toCJ mental servl-
ces at better cash wages. 1t also proves
that there are no isothermal limits for the
African race within the United States.
Two leading deductions may at this day
be made:
First-There is and will be steady eX-
odus of the negro population SOUTHWARK
and into the tropics.
Second-It will cluster in districts where
the arabic land is fIfable and easily
worked, where vegetation Is most spon-
taneous, and where agriculture viii return
the largest products or wages with the least
labor.
wide field for white Immigrant labor IS
steadily opening in the Northern ana MID
die States of the South, and on the move
ment of the colored race largely depends us
own ultimate fate in America. IL may re-
suit in their colonization.
The facts here presented afford food for
thought. Ofthis we are quite sure: The
abolition of slavery and the political equali-
ty of the white and black races in the South
as well as in the North will prevent further
immigration OF the colored population TO
the Northern States; hence a decrease OF
that population North Of the Ohio, and a
proportionate decrease from other causes
of the same population in those Southern
States which do not border on the Atlantic
or Gulf, excepting the State of Arkansas
which, from It's peculiar Identification with
the productive and commercial interests o.
Texas and Louisiana, will cause it to run
in equal pace with the Gulf and Atlantis
States.

The New York Herald has recently.
been publishing some very interesting sta
tistics about the negro population of the
United States, upon which it has philoso-
phized at considerable length, AS Che
Southern people are most deeply interested
in the future Of the colored race, we give
somewhat at length extracts from the Her
aid article:
One Of the most interesting and i'm
portant questions of the time In this c0un-
try is the status aud influence of the negro
population, both politically and In an indus
trial point Of view. Before the war the
negroes had no political influence, and the
value Of their labor could be ascertained
readily in the several States or throughout
the South generally, because il was a
forced labor; but the surprising revolution
effected by the war has changed all that.
From seven to eight hundred Thousand
votes have been added to the aggregate suf-
frage of the country, and the labor of four
millions Of slaves has become free and in
dependent as that Of The white pop
ulasion OF the Northern States. There
never has been before in the history of ma
tons such an extraordinary revolution
within so short time. Fortunately, the
mediate results have not been SIS disas-
trous as might have been expected.
The negro is peculiarly tropical. The
color and texture of bis skin largely contnl
butte to this constitutional nature. In tti
we find what is and win be potential
element in the law of movement OF the
negro population. In the, United States
the general flow of their migration will be
southerly. This tendency will be increase
by the influence of the facts that in the
warmer States produ ction is more spon
taneous, lighter and cheaper clothing and
food are only requisite, less fuel is needed
and the least costly habitations are suitable
| The negroes will steadily emigrate, undel
the fixed action of these causes, from Della
ware, Maryland, Virginia, Missouri, Nortl
Carolina, Kentucky an2 the upper ant
middle sections Of IenneSsee, South Caro-
lima and Georgia, to the other and more
! southern portions of the South. This was
the general fact even daring slavery, and
The experience of the past confirms the
deduction that it will in the future, wheI
less disturbing causes will exist, be NOR
universal.

The negro population Of the seacoast
districts is more fixed than that Of the iu-
terror. Il is very averse to remofal. The
softest atmosphere, the anuvial and teem-
ing nature of thu soil, and the abundance
of fish, oysters, wild fowl and game, great
" attract it. There, too. the African race
is far less liable to the malarious diseases
than the white, and for that reason can in
dulge their desire for the gregarious seclu-
sion and indolent quiet oftheir kind. The
negroes along the Atlantic shore are more
ignorant and primitive, less self-reliant and
enterprising than those Of the intscior.
They lose but little by emigration; but
there the natural increase is less than else.
