Even in the fre&tatps (I use life terms free and slave States notin ai y sense derogatory . from one class. or implying any superiority in the-pther .but for ;the sake of brevity) that4is their present condition,. In some of i hose, free States the penal legislation against the people ot color is. quite as severe,' if not ; harsher than it is in some, of the slave States. As no where in the United States'are amalgamation i and equality between the two races' possible, i( is better that there shouldl)e a separatibn and that'tfie 'African descen dants should e feturned to the native fand''of their fathers."

The truth is, the People, the yeomanry of the State, oc cupy a different position on, this subject, from what they have ever done before. They feel, that they ha re an individual interest in it that then vat iden tified with the interests and prosperity ot the Stale thajL.they are not ;mcre!y' the instruments for cre ating wealth, but of enhancing and enjoying it.
