[lO CENTS. / ^S^ £ ■ H^ I : THE UNION. " What will you do with such as disagree ? Suppress them or miscall them policy ? We will do neither, good friend ; our desire is unanim- ity, founded on a basis of justice and benefit to every one, and should our superstructure upon this basis be such as we opine it will, it will not result in " ill-timed efforts of officious love," nor perpetuate a state which those " who love too much, hate in the hke extreme, and both the golden mean alike condemn." But on the contrary, will enable us to say : " Teach me to feel another's wo, To hide the faults I see ; That mercy I to others shew. That mercy shew to me." The magnitude and importance of the interests involved in the " irrepressible question " are such as to demand our utmost care, not to say or do anything calculated to excite bad feeling or embarrassment in the settlement ot so important a- question — our wish being to deal with it impartially, and apart from all reference to individual im- proprieties in any direction — a course, in our judgment, the THE UNION. most likely to insure such a settlement as will obtain the countenance and support of all parties. We have said our desire in dealing with this question, is, tcr build upon a basis of justice and benefit to every one — simply premising, in the first place, that, as there can only be but one opinion in regard to its moral aspect, discussion thereon is in no way necessary, for where all are agreed, no element of strife remains. Most writers and orators who have advocated a removal of the shackles from our colored brethren, have, in the ea- gerness of their zeal, unwittingly, and, we think, unhappily, committed the too common error of proposing to take without giving — that is, to manumit without remunerating — accompanied with much personal narrative of cruelty, op- pression and injustice, which, in turn, have excited rancour, bitterness and hatred to such a degree, that it is now next to impossible to obtain a fair, impartial and unimpassioned discussion of the subject. There has thus been created a barrier of the most formidable character to all the ap- proaches to a settlement which have heretofore been at- tempted ; a barrier which stifles all discussion, and turns a deaf ear to all remonstrance, until, in the place of reason, argument and justice, we find compulsion on the one side, with defiant hate and stubborn resistance on the other — both teeming with " a mischief" which, if not removed, will culminate, ere long, and that, too, in a mamier which may make the boldest bate his breath, and all lament that the mastery of intemperate zeal and bitter hate should have prevailed over the better qualities of reason, philanthropy THE UNION. and justice. To obviate so great a disaster our wish is bent, and should the issue be such as we think it will, then all may rejoice in a sentiment, gratifying alike to land- owner, laborer and philanthropist — a sentiment that will " make mankind in conscious virtue bold." "VV^hen we consider that Slavery is an inheritance, intro- duced by our English ancestors 239 years since, and that it has all along had the sanction of statutory enactments, and that the present slaves and slave owners have been trained and accustomed to it from their infancy, we are, under those circumstances, in justice bound to recognize these elements, and to deal with the system as we would with any other property similarly introduced and established; and here let us say, we are stoutly at issue with Mr. Helper, and all who may endorse his views of demanding manumission without payment; for if it be as Mr. Helper says it is, that Slavery has been and is a curse, a blight, and a serious loss to the land owners in those States wherein it exists, and we do not dispute that it is so, it only makes the case so much the stronger why remuneration should be accorded to the slaveowner; for again admitting the blighting effects of Slavery, commercially, apart from its pernicious influences in other directions, and that if its effects upon the non-slave- holding proprietor of land be disastrous, it is abundantly shown that they have been doubly so to the slave owner him- self, and who, being thus clearly proved the greater sufferer of the two, is, therefore, by so much the more entitled to remuneration for that which ancient custom and high authority have recognized as property. We are not surprised. THE UNION. therefore, at the indiguation which has been excited in the minds of our Southern friends by Mr, Helper's proposals for a settlement of this question; for, now that we have read " the book," we can sympathize with them in much of their indignation, as, in our judgment, the schemes propounded are unjust, rash, and cruel, both to slave and slave owner, as we will hereafter show, while, as a remechj for the evils complained of, they are a decided failure. To manumit and not remunerate, to give the negroes money in hand at the period of their manumission, and to encourage their removal from the Southern States, we again repeat, are unjust, rash, and cruel. While holding aloof from the ultra party of cither side, we will say we do consider Slavery an evil, clearly enough displayed by the census statistics, (we will confine ourselves, as much as possible, to its commercial phase;) politically, it is also an evil, being, as it is, so completely mixed up with, and so thoroughly in the way of all our legislation; its im- portance and prominence being thus forced upon us, whether we will or no, is sufficient justification for our entering the lists, and in doing so we may say that while we eschew all thought and intention of impertinently interfering in what may be called the domestic affairs of our Southern friends, we simply do so on the same principle which would induce us to knock uj) the inmates of a tenement in the block where we ourselves resided, to inform them that their pre- mises were on fire, and that unless they made haste they might be burned to death and the whole block destroyed ; it is in this spirit, therefore, that we approach the census THE UNION, statistics, as bearing upon this question, and with the view that our Southern friends will, themselves fairly look the matter in the face, and take such action as their own inter- ests, those of humanity, and the welfare and dignity of the Union demand. We insert the first of the following tables, more for the purpose of showing the extraordinary error Mr. Helper has committed, in assuming the Free States could aiford to jiart with the whole of their hay crop, for it is abundantly clear, that if the Free States parted with, the whole of their hay crop, they would not possess cattle, horses and other crops to a tithe of the extent which they now do — well, then, compar- ing the value of the hay crop of the Free States for the year 1850 — assuming it to be a crop which those States could afford to dispense Tvith — its value at $11 20 per ton, as compared with the entire value of the cotton, tobacco, rice, hay, hemp, and cane-sugar crops of all the Slave States for the same year, is ^3,533,275 greater than that of the cotton, tobacco, rice, hay, hemp, and cane-sugar crops of the Slave States — here are the figures : Hay crop of the Free States, -------- §142,138,998. Sundry products of tlie Slave States, - 138,605,723. Balance in favor of the Free States, ----- $3,533,275. This is, therefore, an interesting comparison, only as hypothetically considered ; practically, it is altogether fal- lacious. 8 THE UNION. i s„- ^ CI QC 00 C'T t~ >o — 1 ^ CG cf^o^r-i t-r(-r-t<"o"t--ro'~co~crarcrrcrcrr -f" W core COCOdCJ CO-^COnHCIOrO -^ r-H lO P> < s c-Tt<-oO'*oo-*'ci 00 5 COC1uOOOOOOOOO Tf< - CO f"„'~l,'~J,*^t^„'--l'^l-'~t,^„^'"'„^„'-^„'-'^„-''„ ^-, CQ s w ^ o" cf cf Ci"oo" t--" rH~ ,— r r--r i^-T cT cT uo" t-^ 1— r i-T - >00 »OL-t^O'*t-(-*0»OC1^ro-0 la s w CO CnI 00 H 1 1 1 ^1 1 1 1 oa O , 1 1 1 « 1 1 1 1 H 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 > -c --c r~ -^c o rH OC1 CO coCld CO CO — : — 1 OOr-OO-^OO-^OOClOOOO-iCl pj ;3 o c: -f JC_r3_i~^oc^co^ci^co_^o^o^c;^co_^c|_cr>^ uo <1 £ io'-:tri<<~co''o'^t— '~o"oroo'"r-ro"o"r-ro~co" of s u- O CO O CO O -*< CO -* i-H u-O f— I CO 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 fo 1(111111 O ''''!'', 2 !'!'■ ,' s California, C(»nncticut, Illinois, - - Indiana, Iowa, - - - Maine, - - Massachusetts Michigan, - New Ilampsh New Jersey, New York, - Ohio, - - Pennsylvanui; Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin, CO 1 THE UNION. 9 POPULATION OF THE FREE AND OF THE SLAVE STATES-1850.
