Meade, of Virginia, on the Admission of California as a State: Delivered in the House of Representatives, June 6, 1850 Now, in order to justify the course pursued by the North, and relieve them of the suspicion of merely seeking political power, they must show that, by confining the area of slavery, the number of slaves will be diminished, or at least their increase retarded. I have heard some of my southern friends con, tend, that extending the bounds will not add to the number of slaves. In this I differ with them; and the law which governs the case, is Well nu derstood by our northern brethren, and that law, hard as it is, they are looking to, in the course of time, for the ultimate accomplishment of their purposes. It is the law which prevents procre tien in all densely-inhabited countries - that of hard usage, stint, and starvation. To proclaim this to the world, would disarm fanaticism, while a shriek of horror would rise from the lips of outraged humanity. Hence, they are silent; the masses are deceived, and the finest chords of the human heart are made to discourse music at the touch of hypocrisy. This is the whole game which they confidently believe will end, at no dis tant day, either in equality and amalgamation, or a war of extermination between the races. The more kind-hearted, in view of the power which California, Oregon, New Mexico, and a third of Texas will hereafter give them, and the convenient doctrine of obligations superior to the Constitution, lately broached in the Senate, may perhaps contemplate a more speedy and less bloody termination to the conflict. There are men, sir, now listening to my voice, who, while singing peans to the Union, are coolly calculating these chances; and there are some among us so fascinated with the song, like charmed birds, they are utterly unconscious of the deadly gaze of the serpent that is drawing them every day closer and closer to his folds.

Carolina, on the Admission of California: Delivered in the House of Representatives, Thursday, June 3, 1850 In 1790, according to the census, there were in New York 21, 324 slaves and 4, 654 free colored persons; between 1790 and 1800, I presume, it will not is be contended the1e was any emancipation in that State; and it is fair tots/u supa pose the number of free colored could not have increased by the manumission of slaves to any extent of consequence. In those ten years the free colored increased to 10 37 4 making: about over double; whilst by the census Of 1800 there were still m the State 20, 343 slaves; and, had they increased by procreation in the same ratio with the free colored, there should have been about 45, 000. And should it be Sa1d that the manumission of slaves increased the number of free colored, still must have been sold to the the parents of those who would have raised that number, supposin colored not to have increased at all; but I presume few, if any, we day set free, and it is fair to continue the calculation upon the basis of the 111 crease of free colored during that period. By the census of 1810, there were free colored, making an increase of about the same ratio, and the num ber of slaves was 15 017 - showing. A diminution of Only a few over 5 000 in those ten yea1s, whilst again their 1ncrease would have swelled the number to about 43, 000, of whom about 28, 000 must have found a Southern market. Nor can it be said that, during this interval, any were set free by legislative enact ment, because an act which had been passed m 1801 Only declared that chil dren born after July, 1799, should be free, but that they should continue in the service of their owners until they arrived at the age of twenty eight years; and they could not until July, 1827, have been classed 111 the census as free. But by the same act of 1801 a door was left open byrwhich the operatiou am describing might be carried on by law; as owners were allowed, under cer tain regulations, to carry their slaves beyond the limits of the State, and no r law was passed until 1827 abolishing slavery within that State. In 1820 the free colored were 29, 279, showingb an increase in ten years of only 3, 946, when the number of slaves was being reduced within the ten years 4, 929. Now, supposing the free colmed had not increased at all, nor the slaves either, and that every one of the 3, 946 increase of free colored had been caused by the liberation of slaves, still there we1e about slaves disposed of in some other way. But, taking my o1iginal data, there should have been at this time about free colored and slaves'and about of the latter must again have found a more southern clime.du1ing that period, too, there was an unaccountable falling off of the increase of free colored, v which may be accounted for, perhaps, by the supposition that m those transi tion times many of them might have travelled 05 with those who, under the law, had a right to carry thei1 slaves out of the State; and this may, to this day, furnish a reason why gentlemen of the North are so very cautidus in providing laws against kidnapping; for I have never been aware that free nee groes were ever carried south by Southern ships or Southern traders.' By fol lowing the calculation through the census of 1830, equally cleer results Will be found. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
