lowing numbers Now Castle, 254 Kent, 203 Sussex, 1341 while the aggregate free population of New Castle is 54,543 Kent, 27,001 Sussex, 28,274 being in New' Castle, 1 slave to 175 free; Kent, 1 slave to 131 free, and Sussex, 1 slave to 21 Tree and in the aggregate, 1 slave to 01 free persons in the State. Thitt calculation is based upon the census enumeration, iti which the slaves are counted as for life, whereas in fact a large portion are manumitted, to whom, under the laws of this State, the right to Ire dom, according to the act of manumission, attaches, and who ought, therefore, for the purpose of this discussion, to be considered, tpiestion now whether the State shall declared free by emancipation policy, present or or gradual. There are no means of ascertaining with certainty how many are held jts manumitted servants, but 1 do not think that one-third would be un over estimate, and the above figures should lie correspondingly reduced. By our statute, the children of manumitted slaves, born after the act of manumission, are not slaves for life, but for a limited period only, ami, therefore, the aggregate is subject to another abatement. Of the residue, a considerable number are children and decrepit persons, unable to work, and, in an inquiry as to their productive value, are also to be deducted.

It appears, then, that a very small proportion of the labor of the State is dependent upon the slave population. The kind ol labor they perform is merely agricultural and domestic and whatever may be the question as to the necessity of slave labor in the cotton States, no one will pretend that, in this State, there is anv species of work that cannot be as well performed by a freeman as a a white man as is an I am not reduced to run a parallel between a free negro and a slave, hut if were, tho general rule would he amply vindicated. But every slave does the work that a white man con perform, and if lie were not a slave, tlte white man would have the chance to compete tor.the performance of the labor and lor the receipt of the money that it requires to keep the slave, lieinu; superior to the i negro, he would he preferred, but the master being compelled to maintain his slave, is forced to employ him, notwithstanding his labor is inferior. The white man is defrauded, because the slave performs the labor 1 whieh he ought to do and receives the pay. in hip i subsistence, that ought to go towards the comfortable, support of him and his family.

Such is the necessary quality of slavery, and where it most abounds, the lot of the laboring white man is the most miserable. id Jn what, a negro. If it can lie, the sole question remains, will it ho (lone tfft well. This is solved by determining whether paid or unpaid labor is best wages are any incentive to the a man will work ns well without pay as for this, irrespective of whether the laborer he white or black. The white race constitutes the State, and it is to secure their interest tilgt legislation should lie primarily directed.

It is not necessary to oppress any other race, hut surely it is not proper, specially to protect ti class of laborers, that, which they obtain, effectually prevent the white front procuring work. Legislation should also he directed to secure that system which offers the greatest inducements to immigration and which, by comparative analysts, ltffs I found to open up the resources of the State. What caused tlie immense wealth, increase material developement of tho free States except slavery, did New York differ from Virginia, in which the advantage was not on the side of the latter Inferior in soil, in climate, in water power, in minerals, in harbors, in all the natural advantages that make up the raw material for improvement, why has the one State advanced, while the other has retrograded, in relative developement What prevents more rapid immigration into this, State, and the consequent increase, not only of of general improvement attendant upon it? Nothing hut the fact, that in education name, it is a slave State. There is a shrinkim' on the partof men, reared under free institutions, from contact with slavery. They are unw illing to bring up their children under its influence.

I do nut argue whether this sentiment he right or wrong. 1 speak of it as a iact, established and admitted, preventing men coming from free States to settle among us. Ii it he desirable that they should come, to invest their bring with them habits ol industry and enrich the State, not only by their labor and example, by stimulating additional immigration, ensuring diversified employment and creating additional demand for the products of the soil and therefore enhanced prices for the land, it would seem to he desirable to do away with the impediment that bintiers this consummation, and if the hindrance he found lit the existence of slavery, to put it in the course 0 definite extinction. An objection is made to this policy, that it will turn loose upon society a large class of persons unfitted for the enjoyment of freedom. This objection, it will be perceived, applies only to immediate emancipation, and in relation to that, is, to my mind, more specious than solid.

Wo have, now, altout 20,000 free As an element society tliev are not desirable, hut 1 submit, that their sudden removal from tho labor ot the State would he highly inconvenient. Theirgradttal displacement and colonization.effecting a separation of the races and supplying their place with white labor, would be beneficial to both. This 20,000 free negro element, is to the slave, as 11 to I. anti the emancipated slave population would quietly sink into and he absorbed l.v the great muss of free negroes nnd no man would recognize that another free negro had been added to the State. In fact, now, in all hut name, the State is free.

The dillicnlty is to make white men in other States understand our condition There is no distinguishing badge bv which a slave can be discerned from a free negro, lie has all his actual privileges and immunities and, practically, no one can tell whether a negro is bond or free. Tlu- question would lx- different if all the negroes in tlie State were slaves and tlie proposition were the conferring of freedom upon one-fifth of our entire population; involving Jhe instant desti notion ot an extensive domestic institution and itn immediate and radical change of relation between the races. No such question is presented in this The large mass of the negro population are already free. There is no possibility of their return to bondage. Tlte humanity of our people forbid it, and no sensible addition would he made by the immediate, not to soy gradual, potion of tlte slaves.

Another objection, has been urged, that emancipation. by inducing emigration front slave States, would produce a large accession to our free In the xtent to mail well in this unmiicinegro popular (ion. However plausible this apprehension in theory, its fallacy is apparent by the test of experience. 1 have collated the statistics of the relative in- crease of the whites? and free negroes of Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. A careful survey of the table appended, will show that Pennsylvania lias increased most rapidly in white, and Maryland in free negro population.

result is attained, despite the fact, that the Southern boundary of Pennsylvania, through its entire extent, forms the division line between freedom and slavery and the common belief that New Jersey is the receptacle for a large proportion of the runaway slaves of Delaware and Maryland. The further gratifying result is shewn, that the relative increase of the white population is rapidly and steadily augmenting. The negro is not a migratory being. He will, some- times, run from bondage. bike other men, he has aspirations for freedom.

With no inducement to emigrate, the free negro rarely leaves the place where he was reared. Ilis love ot locality is proverbial. Where he wns horn, he dies. Those who leave their native vicinity, for the most part, congregate in lieigldsiring cities. Philadelphia contains nearly half the free negroes of Pennsylvania.

1 pass by, as unworthy of notice, the suggestion of the probable establish nient of the social and political equality of the races as a consequence of freedom. Such suggestion may he tolerable in a political canvass, in which the aspirant for popular favor plays upon the prejudice of the Citizen to intluence his vote, but it is unworthy of observation in a serious inquiry after truth. The negro is. and so long as lie is among us, ought to remain, an inferior being, under tutelage, and as the whole matter of his status depends on the will of the white man, those who ascribe the design to elevate him to itn otality, do hut cast discredit upon their own understanding and insult upon the people of the State, lie cannot he equal until the majority so decide, and when they shall have arrived at the point at which equality would be tolerated, the emancipation of 1800 slaves when there are already 20,000 1 negroes could make it none the more or less probable. Were the discussion of such question admissible, occasion like the present, I conceive that it ww to shew, that the evil to he tip! 1 1 tMH the prevalence ot the doctrine ''Uiancipation and separation, hut that, it it ever i the result ot the teaching and ot 'who, in defiance of'the ordination of i.

The master is prohibited from dealing with him an absolute article of merchandise, him beyond the jurisdiction of the State, which garding him as a man, extends over him the protection ot the law, and by prohibitory enactments, regulating his sale, restricts his value to the limit of the home-market, thus studiously preventing the State trom being subjected to the policy of slave propngu- tion for exportation and removing the inducement to an indefinite extension of the system. This restriction on judicial denial of the right of the free negro to hold his fellow in criminal responsibility of the shew that under our laws he is regarded as something different from mere chattel and that the nature 11 person, and in this sense, emancipation is no destruction of a right ot property, hut the abrogation of a municipal custom, upon tlie sanction of which ''hiite.

Against destruction Ity fire, insurance otiices provide gainst tlie straying of cattle, good fences are a sufficient security, hut there is no insurance or safeguard against the loss of a slave determined to assert his right to freedom. There are Imt two modes Ity which the extinction of slavery can lie accomplished.

Compensation, if rendered, must probably eotne front the National Government.

The Government, in this rebellion, founded im! effocti vu by slavery, finds emancipation mi object worthy oi its attention, especially in the lforder States, where there exists an element of discontentment and sympathy with secession, kept alive by this institution. The Administration can do no act towards its suppression, hut. it must look carefully lest, by possibility, slavery may be damaged by it. acres. per The horse ol the rebel limy be house may be life, even, may be taken, and it excites comparatively little eommiserution, hut let a slave runaway from Iris owner and seek refuge within the Union lines and a howl of indignation is raised over the refusal to surrender him to his disloyal master, that he may be employed in digging entrenchments or raising bread-stuffs tor the support oYthe rebellion.

This state ol feeling tends to the encouragement of the enemies of the United the embarrassment ol the Government and to the prolongation of the contest. in this view the President considers it cheaper, safer and more expeditious, to luty out the interest of the master and compensate the State for the inconvenience felt by the cluuigc of relation, thus breaking the back-bone of rebellion in the and bringing a quasi neutral territory into active support of the Government. Should Congress concur in the recommendation of the Executive, and express a willingness to tender to this state iitir remuneration, I do not hesitate, as a beneficial measure, to advise its acceptance hut as the measure of my town choice, would prefer the enactment of a law, prospective in its operation.declaring the freedom of the future issue of slaves. It will he observed that the foregoing remarks are confined to the condition of peaceful enfranchisement. They do not apply to changes incident to a tionary crisis, anti especially potato a rebellion in which shivery has been thrust forward as the chief instrument of its accomplishment.

He who calculates that Nation can be involved ill a struggle like this, and that no practical will follow victory or defeat, has read history to little It would he as reasonable to expect a hurricane to pnss through the Inrest, without leaving the ground strewn with dead branches and sapless trunks, that this tempest of civil war should sweep the'hind and leave no memorial of its progress. lhe longer the contest is protracted, the more radical will lie the change wrought.
