If she did, liuy millions of dollars would

Suppose, however, that purchase be

and the process at dcpoilalion under

Lirntiou from the I'niled Stales to that
happvland is representeil by hardly more
than one ship a year. Somciiincs a fac

c-aze like that which tilled the barque Azor
with South Carolina emigrants is in
tlamcd, toend in ilisaster and disnppoint
mcnl, and the return of the tnisera blc de
luded creatures to their old homes under
circumstances that touch the hearts ol
the most callous.

giants to a la-nl of fivcdoin. Tlrs, and
on a vas Iv hr-cr. more expeushe and
more p;' 'able scale, must be repealed to
secure the removal ol ihc negroes to
Culm. What a pic-lire ofni'sery, terror
and eou.usion docs it not foreshadow!
Supposing, however, that a'l is accom
plished precedent to the deportation, and
the emirap1 s are on the coast waiting
for embarkation. It 'sassumed that there
are between six mi'lionsand seven millions
of negroes in the South who, under the
principle laid down, must lie removed.
Let us see how much shipping would lie
required to remove them. Take the
lesser number of six million. Kach vessel
niij;hl. lor the short voyage, be e..ieeted
to take one thousand souls. Six thous
and vessels would thus lie needed, more
than all owned in the sea service of the
t'nited States. Then as to the cost;
that will not lie kss than $10 per head.
wh;eh for that item alone will be $(,
0110,(1011, more than allowed lor the pur
chase of Cub.". To this must lie added
the cost of collecting and coneenlratiiiH
the emigrants at the ports ol embarka
tion, .winch would lie at least $1!0 jmt
head. Then thc.-c is the cost of subsist
ence, which, for so large a multitude, de
fies computation. Then humanity would
forbid that thev should lie turned adiift
upou the is'and without provision which
must be supplied while they provide
homesand preparecrops. Who is to pay
for all this? Certainly not the South, from
inability ; eertaiu'y not from the North,
from disinclination; for the Kepubliean
party will hardly agree to sttip itself of
its material power in the South ; nor will
setimentulitv agree to render void its pur
pose to demonstrate how certainly and
how rapidly the negro, out of his inherent
good qualities, can lie dcveliicd into full
equality with the whites; nor could con
sistency in duty to the negro permit the
purpose to thrust him back in his U
ward progress and consign him to the
certain fate of llayti and Jamaica, to
w hich he would speedily lie reduced by
lhe similar conditions ol soil and climate.
And just here the voice of commercial in
terest will interpose a veto. Cuba is the
largest sugar producing spot in the
world. The Tinted States is the largest
consumer of her sugar. Ilayli and Ja
maica, once vast sugar plantations, have
ceased long since to have any appreciable
weight in the consumption of the world.
The Haytian negro lives on fighting, the
lamaica negro on oranges and bananas
that nature kindly grows for him, and
tSii ready sale for them with only
the trouble of gathering and placing
them aboard ship. Cuba would so on
fall into this indolent line, and all
trade, except what is carried on in
a lew fruit schooners and steamers,
would vanish from the ocean.
The remedy for admitted troubles is
not in emigration. It must be found at
home. Knee antagonisms will exist to
certain extent. Hul there is niulual kind
liness and good understanding between
the whites and the negroes of the South,
which, except in unavoidable individual
case's, prevent resort to violence on cither
side. They can live side bv side harmo
niously and amicable if not disturbed
Irom without. It' the Northern people
understood Ihc negro as he isunders'ood
at the South, till trouble would cease.
Hut they persist in thinking they know
him belter, they persist in bebeviug him
more capable than he is, they persist in
believing him in falseand unjust position ;
and with Northern ius.inct to amend,
remodel and improve everything, tinker
away at what they know nothing about,
until some day the machine will explode
and overwhelm everything in ruin; and
it really seems lhat sonic of ihcin would
be glad lo bring this about.
