If free negroes are troib. lueome the white population si able to control them. In his section it is free negroes who chiefly, osviaato ' vessels . to Norfolk and other ports ; snd if they were prevented coming batk it would be s harsh aud oppressive law. If free negroes act improperly it 1 the fault of the white population who permit it . Mr. Bright vras in favor of the bill ; and ad dressed tho House at considerable length.'
