Vow a F.ce Man, lie DisIikes Even the Re
stFaint of Apprentic ship.


straint of Apprentice ship.
Can the negro be trained as a me-
rIianic. or is he by nature adapted TO
other work than that of an unskilled
iaborer? The question may, accord
ing TO the North American Review,
confidently be answered in the affirm
alive. While this answer cannot be
successfully contrOverted and while
IL may have material bearing on
the prosperity of the Southern States,
yet it involves grave questions, the
successful solution of which would
tend 10 a better understanding of the
two sections of this great nation.
The negro was held in bondage In all
1he colonies save one before the adop-
tim of the federal constitution, and
whether or noc he was the prime
cause of the greatest war Of modern
times, it is unquestionably true that
he regards his liberation as the re-
suit OF that struggle. Prior to the
war there were a large number of
negro mechanics in the Southern
States. Many of them were expert
blacksmiths, wheelwrights, wagon
makers, brickmasons, carpenters,
plasterers, painters and shoemakers,
They became masters OF their re-
spectve trades by reason of sufficiently
long service under the control and
direction of expert white mechanics
During the existence of slavery the
contract for qualifying the negro as a
mechanic was made between the
owner and the master workman.
Now the negro being, in his own
words, a "freed man will not con-
sent TO restraints. He cannot divest
himself of the idea that apprentice
ship in its most modified form is a
species of slavery for a term of years
He may be assured of the relation Of
master and apprentice as it exists in
almost every civilized country; still
he is slow to embrace it, He appre
ciates the advantages of superior
skill, yet his teachings Of liberty are
to his mind inconsistent with the
exercise of absolute and continued
authority over him.
