Free Blacks in the United States?Probable
re-enactment of the Slavery Laws in the
Northern States.
The question of the probable future condition
of the free blacks of this country is
beginning to force itself upon our black republican
nigger-worshippers, and causes
them no little trouble. We reprint in another
column, from the Philadelphia North
American, an article on Ibis subject, which
looks the question in the face and acknowl
edges the dilemma.
It is found that the free negroes are both
improvident and lazy ; that in the Atlantic
States they are being gradually but steadily
driven from those class employments,
such as coacbmcn, servants, barbers, etc.,
which were once considered as belonging
peculiarly to them ; that in the Slave States
they have come to be looked upon as a
danger, through the continued efforts of the
abolitionists; and that in the new States
of the West, even In those where the most
diverse political sentiments rule, there is
so great reluctance on the part of the people
to have them settle, that it has become
a rule, in framing a constitution, to prohibit
their residence in the State. Through
tbe operation of these influences the free
negroes, as a class, are becoming daily
more helpless amongst us, and in view of
(he impossibility of their counteracting
them, and making he: dway for themselves,
tbey mast eventually become a burden upon
tha resources of society. ThaaffnrtaW
the humanitarians have failed to improve
euutHrtonUyrtie abolition of domestic
slavery, and have demonstrated the fact
that something more than the removal of
political and social disabilities is necessary
tp improve the condition of the negro.
These results flow from natural causes.
Created to reside beneath the burning sun
of the tropics, through a bountiful provision
of nature the negro has not been endowed
with tne active and fever-subject barin of
the white man. in bis native clime the
earth produces spontaneously, and in some
instances, at in tbe case of the plantain
and banana, without rotation of seasons,
the Iruiis necessary lor nis sustenance.?
His major wants being thus provided for,
he baa no need of, and does not possess,
the provident faculty. The diffusion of
races over the earth, through the growth of
commerce and the multiplication of the
wants of civilized society, has carried him
to other regions and climes tb^n those of
his native Africa. In some of these, as in
Hayti and others of the West India Islands,
having acquired the control of the social
organization through the preponderance of
numbers, he has relapsed Irom the cultivation
which the supervision of a superior intellect
had given him, to very nearly, if not
quite, the natural state of African barbarism.
Where he bears sway the white element
of society has dwindled or died out,
and his industry has limited itself to gathering
the natural productkr.s of a genial
clime.
When the causes above cited have carried
him to other than tropicrl climates, as
in this country, where forethought and a
? provident waicuiuiness are necessary 10
gpard from want daring the rotation of the
Masons, the condition of domestic slavery
gave him to the providence of a more ac?
t.ve intellect. In the Northern States we
have deprived him of this by abolishing
slavery. At first, this act seemed so be a
boon to (be negro. Our population was
parse, and he found employment in domes
tic service and several of the minor occu*
pations which were within the range of bis
intellectual capacity. Hut as population
has become more dense, he has been crowded
out of most of these by the competition
ol the auperior race, l'he natural result ol
a steady descent in the social scale has attended
him, and when our population
doubles and trebles, as it will In a few gen
eralions, the condition of the free negro
among us must become degraded in the
extreme. Deprived by the far.sfghted legislation
of the new States of the possibility
of migrating to thinly settled regions, he
can only resign himself to his fate, and become
a pauper in our midst.
In tbe Southern Slates, whrere slavery
still exists, the contrary result attends the
future of the negro race There we find it
not only increasing in numbers, with strides
equal to tbooe of tbe white race, but becoming
every day a more valuable element
of the social organization. Tbe intimate
association with the superior race, to which
it is admitted through family servitude, not
only improves its moral tone, but increases
its social capacity through enforced educa
tion. So true is this, that the negro com*
monities of Liberia and Hayti, in seeking
emigrants in this country, give a marked
preference to slaves that have been manumitted
after reaching the age of matujity.
And it ie not alone the free negro communities
that confess the advantages that accrue
to the negro in servitude. Both here
and in the Opanisn-American couniries
where slavery exists, the negro slaves claim
a superiority ov.t the free blacks, and con
atantjy exhibit in their social intercourse a
contempt for them. Under the operation
of these influences the statesman and the
social economist can contemplate without!
alarm the progressive doublings of the fouri
millions of ne^ ro slaves now existing in I
our Southern States; while those of a few
hundred thousands of free blacks in the J
Northern States awaken a feeling of alarm, j
The logical deduction from these factsl
is, that the Northern States will return to
the enactment ol the laws establishing ne? j
gro slavery, and sell all the free negroes into
family servitude. Humanity will demand
this, to preserve them from being re-1
duced to a state of degradation terrible to
contemplate, by the increasing competition
of the white race. Policy will require it to1
save the community from tiie burden of'
hundreds ol thousands of able-bodied paupers
which can make no headway of themselves.
The negro himself will ask it, in:
order that he may be restored to that consideration
in society to which he is entitled
as a qian. They will then be absorbed in*
19 our (jmiliei igairi as servant*, mechanics
and husbandmen, and will be relieved from
that social ban which now attends them in
consequence of their doubtful position and!
increasing degradation.

Cheraw and Coalfields Railroad.
The Engineers of the above road reaohed this
place after having run two experimental lines,
one ondlie East side of Tee Dee, the other on the
West side to the mouth of Little River, thence on
the East side to the Coalfields at Egypt. Practicable
routes have been found on both lines.?
That by the West side is somethingjhe longest.
It will be some three weeks before.llrey report to
Mr. Solomons, the Engineer in chief, alter which
he will make his report to the Board.
We shall not speak of the merits of the,routes,
for the simple reason that we know nothing about
them. That is a matter entirely for the Engineer,
who only is competent to do so We will,
however remark, that thes? lines are merely ex
perimenlal, and that nt the proper time the merits
of the several routes will be more definitely
determined.
The Oame not worth the Powder and Shot.
_ Tl'p Edgefield Adw-'litti has recently wta lit.
lift political summerset, and stands now, by implication
at least, the apologist, for if not the fast
friend of S. A. Douglas, the squatter sovereignty
candidate for the Presidency. The Charleston
Mercury and the Columbia Guardian, apparently
alarmed at the mighty consequences that are to
follow, are both down upon the Advertiser like an
avalanche, with their arguments against itsco jrse
of reasoning and objections to Douglas for the
Presidency, We protest against the fuirne9s of
this doubling upon an opponent Do let the Advrrtiscr
have fair play, gentlemen, one nt a time
is enough. Whenever one of you are fairly
whipped, then the other may fall to and try its
ban i.
But laying joking aside, is there any reas n to
fear the Advertiser's carrying the Slate for Douglas
either in the convention or in the electoral
college? We think not Indeed, if the question
between Douglas and the South was fairly staled,
there would be no reason to fear bis uomioa'ion
or his election. This Douglas roi his friends dare
do, ofecurse, as it is upon a fulse issue alone, they
hope for success. Douglas well kmwn, and so
does his friends, that the South does not ask for a
slave code?that it only asks for that protection
for its slave property in the Territores, that is ex
tended to all other property by the FeJeral Government.
it requires no code to protect other
property in the Territories, and it ought to re
quire none to protect slave property. The eon
stitution and Ilia laws of Congress organizing
Territorial Governments. already extend the same
protection to sTave property, that they fiu to any
,.f M.Anorfu in f K A Tol'IM t ftl"i ??9_ IIFlll
UVIIUI HJ'CWVO VI pi V|'VI KJI ...?
Territorial Legislatures are bound alike to protect
the one ? the other. The Supreme Court has so
construed the provisions of the two former and th#
obligations of the latter, and all the slave owners
ought to aik, is, that the Territorial Legislatures
States have not asked for, nor will not ask for a
Congressional slave code for, the Territories.?
They have not asked Congress to legislate slavery
into the territories, for the constitution carries it
there, and protects it there to the same extent
that it does any other species of properly : and it
is as much the duty of the Federal Govornment
to protect it there, as it is to protect any mlier
species of property.
Neither lias the South ever objected to popular
sovereignty It is universally conceeded that any
and all Terri'orier, vhen authorized by Cotyjrc** to
form a State Government, have the right, the pop1
ular right, to recognise property in slaves or not,
and that this exercise of popular sovereignty is no
bar to their admission into the tfnion, But the
right of a Territory while under the control of
Congress, and before it has been authorized to
form a State Government, to interfere with the
rights of property hy failing to legislate or hy unfriendly
legislation, can never be conceeded by
those who kno v what the constitution is, and are
willing to obey its injunctions. The exerciee of
such functions hy a Territorial legislature would
not he an act of popular sovereignty, hut one of
squatter sovereignly, at war with the constitution,
with Oongress, and with the Supreme riourt, and
it is the restraint of such unauthorized and revo
lutionary measures that is asked of Congress by
the South Why did the Federal Government
send troops into Kansas, but to restain this unlawful
exercise of squatter sovereignty f If in a
Territory, and while under the jurisdiction and
control of Congress the might of a mobls right,
why has every depaitment of the government exerted
itself nrotect the minority in the Territo
ries? But that a Territory ha* the light bcfoie
it is authorized to become a State, by either refu?ir\g
to act, or by uufriendly action to interfere
with the right* of property, is too preposterous to
be seriously contended for.
Now place Mr. Douglas upon his true platform,
the advocate of this preposterous right, and we
feel that the Edgefield Advertiser will dtop him
like a hot brick. Indeed, Mr. Douglas himself
would not dare to define his true position, stripped
of nil its sophistry and claim, the support of
the North or the South as its advocate. It is
only by deception and fraud that he hopes to
succeed, and we have no idea that the Advertiser
will become one of his tools in carrying out his
base plans. Have not, then, our coteunporaries
been wasting their powder and shot ?pon the
Advertiser ?
The managers of the Cape Fear and Deep Itiv.
cr works have instructed their Chief Engineer to
advertise for hands at the rate of $20 per month,
and in case enough of hands cannot be obtained
at that price by the 1st Scptembej, proximo, to
justify him to prosecute the work, to discontinue
the work after that date, and remove the boats,
<tc., to Wilmington, to be disposed of a9 the managers

The Public Ochoojg in OhrmrlfStla,
A recent report informs wa that llujfe are a

lcston, upwards of 1900 schollars. Thesc schoo
are under the control of a Board of commissioner
From the July report of the Boar^we learn, t^
the actual cost per sohollar per annum for tuitio
amounts to but little over (11. lb us yere tl
parents of these stndents to pay the tftition,
would still he within the means of all t# educa
their children. And for this small pittance, tl
stuJcr.ls have oil the advantages of the very be
and most successful instructors that can be ol
laincd; with an opportunity of studyifi|; *11 tl
branches taught in our host Academies.
We note these facts for the purposWof askir
if it is not possible to secure the same educationi
advantages to our children by adoptiagjtbe Cha
leston plan. If publio schools of a likecharacU
were opened here, and the tuition fixel even i
$16. is it not niorelliaD probable IbalUsy wou]
sustain themselves? We have at lean ISO chi
dren that ought to be at school, and wpuld be i
school had their parents the means to put thei

fund for the payment of teachers of twenty tw
hundred and fifty dollars; at least onothird tnoi
than can be raised by our present ayatin Buti
addition to this, our beat ou^bt to be Entitled t
some $500 of the school fund. Secur| this, an
the number of children could easily w increase
to 2 0?equal to $3,000, wl.uli would pay a pri

If it is politic t-> increase the rneanabfedocatk
and diffuse knowledge, this is certaiily the mo
practicable plan within our icaeh; t otherwis
then let us raise the present m many cases, pr

A short year past, the teachers in the publi
schools throughout the Slate, wero invited to vie

might see the workings of the system^ Many wei
acd were fascinated with the success there, but i
yet we have lieurd of no effort on the part
these teachers to introduce the Charleston syste
into the country. Why is this? The answer i
many cases wc know is, the sparaencss of tl
country population, but that will not apply to o<
towns and many neighborhoods where goc
schools already exist at high rates of tuition.
We desire to call the attention of parents, an
more particularly the attention of the school coi
missioners and trustees of Academiss to this su
ject. We might have in Chesterfield some hi
dozen public schools, where all the branches of
plain English education, together with the orn

wants the perseverance, determination and infl
