‘ they stand ‘to’ tlicir masters," frees them from
all caieiii regard to their own supp_drt or that
oftlieir_offspring. .Undcr tliesc‘(‘:ircuiiistan-
ces,,'it might‘ naturally be expected that their
numbers would rapidly'inc'rease, and accord-
ingly,~wc find that they have been coiiIiniial—
ly gaiiiiug upon the white poptilation. ‘Dur-
ing»tlie.ten years between 1810 and 13920, the
blacks in'Kentucky increased 57 per ccut.,
wliilethewhites_.increased only 37,; in Ten-
ncsscc, t-he blacks increased 80_ per cent. and
the whites only 57; in‘ Georgia, the blacks
increased -more than 40 per cent. and the

crease.ol'-tlie blacks was 22. per cent. and that
ofthewliites only It ; and ‘lit South Caroli-
na; thciucrease c‘f?tlie'blacks'was'228 per cent.
while that ofthe wliitcs was only 8.
These facts.t'iirow a deep gloom over the
future prospects of our country.” Let the
blacks continue to‘ increase'as' they hare done,
and ina sliorttiiiie they, will .out-nuinbertheir
,tua_s,ters. "Indeed this is already the case in
-South Caroli-iia'and Lo'iiisiana,"and' the next
census ivillprobably add'to the list ‘Georgia,
and ‘Mississippi. The present prospect is,
that in one century ‘from this ti'ine,if'no efforts
are made to prevent‘ it,‘ the southern section
oftlie Union will contain aboiitiwenfy millions
' of blacks, and probably not iiiiorethan fifteen
‘millions ofwliitcs. -_\’Ve tremblewlicn wean-

‘is ever to be rid of7‘its5 black, p_opulation_, “such
-a- regulation ‘must be the '-first step‘ in ‘the
process. . ' '
‘ --Before‘ we close, we will ‘barely advert; to.
. the-question which issoinetinies asked, VVliat-
have we ‘to do with the slaves of the 'South‘ern
States ? To this it would be 'sufl‘icic}nt to say,

. on the people of the ‘northern states.---i
-,But'tlic,Hiiidoo has his claims, for he is.
a man; but we never injured tlie.Hindoo;
we never stole liiui from his family and his
country ; we never subjected him to the hor-
, ijors ofa slave ship, or compelled him to pray
- fordeath to relieve him from ourcruelty. But,-
let it be remembered, that the citizen's of the
northern states have been actively engaged
' in the slave trade. Our seamen and our iner-
chants have been interested in this guilty
traffic, and some of our cities have been built
'w‘ith the price of blood.
From the same.—Iu our last nninber we
stated, that in the natural progress of popiila-
tion the southern section of the Union would
contain, it ceiitnry hcncc, about 20,000,000
bliicks,aiid probably not more than 15,000,000
whites. Vl’e then rel'ercil, "in gciier:il‘teriiis,
~ to some ofthe dreadful evils which would ne-
cessarily exist iii apopulation so constituted.
The question now arises, What shall bcdonc
to avert from our country tliese aw‘ftil‘ca‘l:imi—
tics. To this tve‘answe'i', the first and great
step undoubtedly is, to pill all lIic'cIiei:Ics we
can upon the i'nci'easc-of the bliic/cs. "We do
not mean that any thing should he done'in—
consistent with linmanity; but huinanity re-
quires,th‘at every lawful and innocent incastirc
should be adopted to arrest the progress of a
"cal-aiiiiiy, whicli tlireatcns to involve in iiiise-
ry, ‘notonly our own posterity, but also that of
the unhappy Africans. lVe believe that we,
ofthc present geiici'ation,liave it in our power
to prevent, in a great measure, the increase of
the blacks, and if tlirougli our neglect to do
this, the evils we have anticipated come upon
our posterity, we Slldll merit the bitter reproa-
clics they will heap upon us.
, Vie have said that it is possible to prevent,
to a considerable extent, the increase of the
l)l‘d(.'l(F. To illustrate this point it will be ne-
cessary to refer to a few simple principles.-—
Every reflecting nian will perceive at once
that popiilalioii eiieiy whore iiicreu.9cs very
in iu:/i in proportion to the e.t'lcnl of territory;
which it is pzriiiilteil lo iicciipy. _ '1‘ake, for ex-
ample, the case ofotir English ai1cestors.——-
'l‘lie_-.' landed in New-Eiiglaiid two centuries
ago, and their number was about 40 or 50,000.
Their descendants are now spread over_ the
whole country froiu the Atlantic Oceauto the
Hississippi, and amount probably to 3,000,000
souls, having increased nearly a hundred fold;
while the population of Englaiid, during the
last two”centuries, has very little more than
doubled ; and of course, if our ancestors had
i'eiiiiiiiietl in their native country‘, the number
oftlieir descendaiits at this day would probably
have been less than 100,000. Such is the dif-
ference in the rate atwliicli population increa-
ses under u'ifl'ercut cii'cunistaiiccs._ .
Take another example. It is supposed that
the population ofCoiiiiecticut doubles by nat-
ural increase in every period of9Z5 years.
Of this increase a small part only is retained
in the‘ state, the number of eiuigrants in each
year being nearly equal to the annual addi-
tion. Let its now suppose that a law was
riiade prohibiting einigiatioii fror_ri Connecti-
cut, what would be its effect on the natural
incre.-.se of the population? Diiubtless to di-
riiiiiisli it. Her yotiiig men, ctit off from the
clieap lands in the west, would be under the
necessity ofdela_ving marriage till a late peri-
od in life. Connecticut would then be in the
situation in which England now is, and her
population would scarcely double in an hun-
dred years. __
IV». will iimv apply these principles to the
case of the blacks. That part ofthe territory
of the-United States in which slavery is per-
mitted, ineluiliiig Florida and the Arkansas
territory, embraces an area of nearly 700,000
square miles. Not more than one fourth of
this country is yet settled and divided into
pll‘Illll'.tll0nS, the remaining three fourths being
a--wilderness, ' inhabited only by Indians and
wild beasts. The ‘part of this territory in
whiclitlie blacks form at present any coiisidc-
rable portion of the population is of still nar-
rower diiiieiisioiis; two thirds of all the blacks
in the Uuite(|'-States being concentrated in
the a low country of "Maryland, ‘Virginia,
the Carolinas, and Georgia, within an area of
100,000 square miles; while in the back parts
oftlicse states, and in most parts ofKentucky
and Tennessee, they constitute ‘less than "one
seventh-part of the population. Let us now‘
inquire twhat= would betlie cffectofa law-siin-
,ilar. ?to the‘one-we ni‘eutioiic'd in the case of
‘Connecticut, and sirnilarialso to one which
was recently proposed in the Parliameutof
Great Britain, in relation to the West India
colonies; wemean a law to prevent the-trans-
fer of slave, except with theland to which
law would be that the blacks would be for ev-
er confined to the districts which theynow
occupy, and of course three fourths ofthe ter-
gitory iiicliiiled within the limits of the slave-
according to Humboldt, they ‘still regard the iholding states woiildbe eventually settled by
Ea pure white population.
If such a law were
passed, the number of blacks iiithe United
iwitli tlie.aid ofan efficient and well regulated
zcolonization society to carry off the surpliis,
ithey might even be kept within ‘their pres-
3ent number. i ' ' ' I

is stlll making to introduce slavery by an a-

certain what may be the issue. We confident-
ly trust, liowevcr, that that state will be re-
deemed from the impending evil, by the vir-
tue, the intelligence, the iinbiassed suffrages
of its own citizens. But should our anticipa-
tions fail, and a misguided policy open a door
for the iutrodttction of slaves into llliiiois, in
violation of the original compact between
Congress and the States who coded the nortli-
western territory,—we hope the first human
being attempted to be enslaved on that soil,
willpresciit his claim for freedom, to the Sn-
preme Judiciary ofour country, and receive
at once deliverance at their liaiiils.-—Ch.iS'pec.

THE VILLAGE PRINTER.
A doctor, a schoolmaster and a printer, are‘
three as prominent essentials to the establish-
m'ent of a village of the first class, as a ’squire,
a tavern and a blacksmith are to one of the
fourtli or fiftlifi—-Tlie printer, in ‘the’ primitive
times ofour cotintry, was usually left out, but
ripcr.-age and the general diffusion of light
br'ought liim gradually into the service, and
increased his cliaracter and estimation so
much, that he has at last become ofas vital
consequence as either ofthe others. If time
allowed of comments ofthis sort, I might be
led to saytliatf view this symptom ofithe
genius of our countryiiien as a trait ofgreat
and uiiquestionable promise in a politicaliand
iiioralpoint of view. But with these things I
have nothing to do, and therefore leave the
subject asI foiiud it.
In a respectable village which was growing
toiiotice, and which was located not many
miles from the Susqiielianna, some years ago,
the inhabitants being stricken with the prev-
alent sentiment, erected a press, and procur-
ed from the city a genuine graduate of the
type, to take charge of the concern. This
-/was the first introduction our hero Will Sut-
ton, hadto the country. He was young, and
w'itlial,_an honest and ingenious youth, of a
'inild and gentle temper, and but little skilled
in the intrigue and deception so current in
the world, witliivliicli his hasty transit from
the shackles ofapprenticesliip to the post of a
publisher and an editor,--li-ad allowed him no
time to shake liaiids. Flattered by the blaze
of what looked likegthe opening ofa splendid
prospect, he soon after he entered on his new
duties, relieved the original proprietors oftlie
burden and assumed the responsibility ofthe
concern himself. , _ 1
To become popular, in other ivords to
please every one, is, perhaps, the first aim
and the fresliest hope of every inexperienced
and virtuous mind. It was so beautiful in
theory, and the road appears at first so plain
and easy, that he never dreams of difiiculty
iirsiicccetliiig in the practice._ I-Vill deter-
mined therefore to take every bod_v’s advice,
and, wherever advice clashed, to choose the
iiicdiiim between the two extremes.
He commenced his paper by giving the
greatest variety possible, and proffered the
most liberal terms, as much as to say, pay
me when and how you can ; people were
pleased with the first numbers and many
good folks took him at his word, and sent in
their naines. _He set this down as ample pro-
mise of future success, and built abundant
hopes upon it, but sundry printed, written and
verbal.lanipoons soon roused him froiii his
dreaming ; one of his brotliei printers not far
distant, had lost a subscriber or two through
l'_l5 agency. and, as his body was out ofreach,
his equitable neighbor contented himself with
audesperate attempt to slip the noose round
liiscliariicter, and hang it up to infamy, This
was the first more that honest W-ill saw
ll"'0’l‘gl1i which staggered his faith and weak-
ened his credulity. '
"He rubbed his eyes and looked at it a iiio-
iiiciit, t-heir concludeil sagely, if loffend but
this fellow, whose motives'a'r'e broad and pal.-
pable, and who cannot deceive others, I may‘
still accomplish my aim ‘:'l’ll ‘set him down
as acyplier-. I’ll still be popular. " Two or
-tliree weeks elapsed, however, and the'biizz'
of a hundred busy friends, began to burn upon
iaud not enough ofanothcr description ofmat-
le‘' 5 l1e_ listcned—-he was perplexed——iit was
'tlie mediunilie had been pursniiig, how should
ill? "OW 86!. He at last maile up his mind ;
iwliolly excluded the dcscriptionofmatter. that
ihad the fewest advocafes. and increased the
:t']f.lE1nlLlf.ll of other_ kinds; a dozen or two were
stilllelt complaiiiauts, and as he could do
n‘0llttu'g witli them, he set them down as cy-
,Ph€1‘S with the printer; with these exceptions
iie rpsolverl to pleaselcvery body.
‘ _I\ext came in one of his worthy neighbors

Even in.-‘this, however,-lie was-ur'i'fortunate-
ly disappiiiiited; election times -_;caiiie,f on;
there were two pcantliilates for gov‘e"rn,oi-i,’ and
Sutton was put c‘uiiipletely‘at_ his wits end.
Hekneiv neither of the candidates; to the
matter of their politics, as tliey‘were botlirep-‘
resented to be pltlln,‘ill0lleSl, sterling patriots,’
he could not conjure up an objection, and
both parties deinandedxliis exclusive "assist-
‘ ance. .\Vhat was robe done‘? he stood neu-
tral a little while, until he found himsclfra—
pidly going out of favor with both parties.——
’ ‘The crisis deiiiantled a change of policy. 3.He
accoi'dingly~inade a bold push and sided with
the strongest party, consequently he broke
with all the others, inadea few warm friends
and very many bitter eneinies. Will saw
now the blighting of all his prospects; he
did not change his resolution, however, but
confined his hopesto the pleasing Qfthe par-
ty-he had espoused. Surely, he'thoiiglit, as
he sighed oveiutliese vicissitudes, I shall keep
these for whom I have inadetliis great sacri-
fice in my interests, and ensure their good will.
But the time now drew nigh, ivlien, to
please his creditors, it was necessary to col-

The collector was rigged off, and sent on the.
rounds ; two weeks brought him back—with
aboutteu per cent. on his accounts, and with
the news that Messrs. A. B. and C. &t.c. in-
cluding a hundred or two names, wished
their papers stopped if they were to be dun-
tied in this way.

./Inecdotc.——-Soine gentlemen ofa Bible As-
sociation lately calling upon an old ivoinaii to
see ifshe had a Bible, were severely re-proved
by a spirited reply, ‘ Do you tliink,gentleinen,
that I aura heathen, that you should ask me
such a qiiesiion P’ Then addressing a little
girl, she said, ‘ Run and fetch the Bible out
of my drawer, that I may show it to the gen-
tlemen. Theydeclined giving her the troub-
le ; but she insisted upon giving them occu-
lardeinonstration that she was no lieathen.—-
Accordingly the Bible was broiight, nicely
covered ; and, on opening it, the old woman
exclaimed, ‘Well, lioiv glad am I that you
have been looking for these three years, and

serves, in a letter dated May :2, that in conse-
quence of her losing her first three children,
one during tcctliing, and two" of inflaniation
in the bowels, she gave her fourth child a lit-

been, continued cool and cheerful, free from
