Tt tk Editor f Iht Union and Amarum t Deae Sia: I have for seversl weeks past been anxiously waiting to hear what the views of your leadinn journal were on the bill pending before our Legislature, proposing to enslave, or to drive from the State, the free colored population now a tnongst us. It provides that these persons shall bo scited and sold if found here after the 1-t day of May neit, if they are adults, and that the children shall be bound out, elo j the adults are allowed to emigrate to Africa, in which case some slight ai ! is to be furtiifhed by the Slate, to assist in their transportation ; or secondly, they may seek a master and go into slavery.
