(Sea Sumner on the Bar barism of Slavery.) If we next examine tho stet istios of sui cides, we will see that Massachusetts has the pre-eminence to this department of hu man enterprise. Mr• Kennedy reports 110 eases of suicide in this highly moral State in his Report of 1860 ; 30 in Connecticut, 31 in New Ilampshire, 14 .in Rhode Island, 21 in Vermont, and 33 in Mains. Among the Southern Slates, he'reporte 13 In Mary land, 81 in Virginia, 113 in North Carolina, in South Carolina, 2.1 in Georgia, 4in Fiorillo, 21 la Alabama, 21 in Miaeieepi, 21 In Louisiana, 80 in Teemesnee, R in Arkan sas, and 80 in Texan. We regret that the Report does not dis criminate between the whites and the slav es of the South; for then it would be seen that all the cases belonging to the former We most emphatically affirm that we nev er knew or heard of a single case of suicide among the slaves of the South. But the Report, as It is, will answer our purpose. By looking back at the tab's, it will be seen that Connecticut and Arkansas are nearer to each other in point Cl population, than any two States, one North and the other South. But Connecticut has 81 Sui cides and Arkanas but 8--ten times fewer. We have not a Mutilde of doubt, moreover, that these three cases were or whites. South Carolina, Arkansas and Florida added together give 1,270,888, or 40,517 more inhabliante than Maesaehusette : but this pious and cultivated Slate with this deficiency in her number of inhabitants re ports 96 more cases of suleide; in other words, she excels the other three {}taxes in a seven fold ratio; and we cheerfully no; eord to her the praise due to her superior energy. Conpeotieut and New Hampshire each reports as many oases as ',Virginia, but Virginia has 84 times the population of the former, and4i times that of the latter, and is therefore, beaten by them in that, business, in the same ratio.. Vermont reports as many oases as Mis • •ppi, but . blieeiesippi hoe more than twice ae many inhabitants. Maine reports alimony as North Carolina, Arkansas and Maryland all three combined with a pop.- latloti of 2,115,121—i. e. 8 1.8 greater than that of Maine. Vermont reports as many suicides to Georgia, but Georgia has 84 times more people within her borders. Rhode island is nearer to Florida in point of popolallon than to any other Southern Slate, but In Rhode Island ono out of 12- 478 commits suicide, while in Florida the ratio is one to 85,106. RIM But it is said that comparisons are odi ous, and we have no disposition to extend these figures, •We have taken up each of the Now England States and compared it with one of its sinful sisters, and have let the figures tell their own tale. lint as Mr. Sumner is specially virulent towards South Carolina, owing probably to his having been compelled on one occasion to chastise a gentleman from that Stale for offensive language used in debate, it may be not out of pin to compare .poor South Carolina, with the curse of slavery upon her, with his own glorious State; which contains that venerable Real upon which ',Warty log g ed when she first touched the American shore in her Sight from a 'Foreign land—that wonderful Cradle In which her .first born wu rocked—and that splended Monument which commemorates the exploits of her he roic dead. n= These reliable atatistios of Mr. Superin teasel Kennedy show that one man or wom an out of every 11,191 in that free,enlight ened and godly State of Massassohusetle s cuts hie or her throat, blows out his or lid. brains,lays his or her bpd settee the roil road track, pours poison down his orAier. throat, or in some. other way shows his or determination to live tio longer in the finite of the'lloelt, the Cradle and the Monument. But in ..wicked South Carolina; the ratio is only mm 1087,9881 In Lonisiana, where the poet has so touchingly min that "the sweet of the sugar has been made by the sweat of the slave," She ratio is only one to 88,717 ; while in Arkansas, right in . the heart of the Cotton States, it is only one to 145,150.

We are examining the sta tistics to see whether the staves have been driven into Weide, u alleged. We have sun that 240 eases reported from the New England States and hut go fkom the twelve slave Stater, w ith . a population more than three times greater. Now we dq, not dollen that one-tenth of these 220 cans occurred with negroet. TAsk the oldest inhaibtantyou meet, if he ever knew of two well-autheal i inted cases among the negroes in his own country. We think but few aitn reply in the affirmative. More over, we see again the influence of the mirth, jollity and light-kentedoess of the the negro reacting upon hie master, and removing that gloom which is the pre curter of insanity and suicide. The States which have the fewest Degrees relatively to the white population report relatively the greatest number of suicides... Thus, Mary land has nearly twice as many cans as S Carolina, burEfollth:carollus has the large.. elavatopulation,having 815,217 more slaves than Maryland. In fact South Carolina, which has an excess of staves over freemen, has a platter proportion of suicides than any State in the Union except Arkansas. Mi ss iss ippi, the only other Southern State in which ,the slave. out adhered the whites has. fewer cans than Texas, a small slaveholding State relatively: although it NafflB7,o9o more inhabitants than Texas. Compare in dike 'roamer Tannage° with Georgia. States whose aggregate popula tion Is nearly the same ; North Carolina with Virginia, &so. The general law will be found to he as above, though Arkansas foims an exception. Next let us examine the statistics of blind nese an found on page 44. We there fad It stated that the proportion of blind slde e to all other slaves is Dilttfl every 2,131 G, n .. that the proportion of blind to the whole population is one in 2,470. The Slaves then ►re thus shown l obe far less subject to blindness than the free population. But the following table will set that forth more nlearly : 611121 Maryland. Virginia,. •i N Carolina B. Caro lima Georgia... Florida..... Alabama,— MI insaippi Louisiana.• Tennessee Ark sass . Tame 5....... EMI New by dividing the number of slaves in these twelve states-3,008,299 by I,Boo— quotient will be 2,708; and by divid ing the number of inhabitants in the New England Stales-3,136,283 by 1,276, the quotient w ilLbe 2,469. No then the sharp sighted down-canter is more nubjeot to blindnees than tbemaldreated slave ; there is one blind person for every 2,459 inhabi tants in New England, whilo, only one among 2,768 slaves. These statistics are the more remarkable Inasmuch as ninety-nine out of every hun dred of the slaves were engaged in sgricul. lure; and this has been found to be unfa vorable to vision. Mr. Kennedy tells ue that •ta larger proportion of •blind persona is found to exist in the agricultural dis— tricts of Great Britain than in theldantitith luring aad mining districts and large cities •' It may be interesting to compare the above figures with the 'Gaieties of Great Britian. In England and Wales ; the. proportion of blind persons to the rest of the population in one in 979; in Scotland one la 960; in Ireland one in 878. Total in Great Britain and Ireland one in 1190. The wealthy and highly favored subjects of her Majesty are nearly three times attliable to blindness as the poor slaves of the Booth, and this too notwithstanding the fact that the latter were engaged almost exclusively in agricul_ lural pursuits. (See 'Sumner on the Bar barism of Slavery ) Now, fet us utopias the titter of deaf muteness. The most reoegt . reports from Europe give an average of one deaf route to every !XI inhabitants. In the free pope 'Mien of Lhe United States, the ratio as one in ,1,925 but among the slave population, lkiatanly one in 4,900. The free popula tion is therefore more than 2} times as sub ject to this malady as the slaves. But the figures are still more remarkable if we go to the Cotton States, where the slaves are more numerous and where thesis a small er infusion of white blood. The States south of North Carolina re port but one case among 6,920 slimes. We thus see that the free inhabitants of Europe are st times more sobjeat to deaf mutt= than the the poor slaves of the South. (See Sumner on the Barbarism of Slavery.) We will next look at the statistics of idio ay, and will institute a cornier's= between the negroes In six Cotton Elates and the free population in six New England Metes. which claim (and we will not dispute the claim) to be the most intone:4nel portion of the whole United States. rEfi (Rau—.

And here again we, observe a more favorable condition of things In the Cotton Slates. In Georgia it was one to 2,6*. in Alabama one to 8,246 ; in South Carolina one to 8,826 ; in Louisiana one to 8.189 ; in Florida one to 8,869; in Arkansas one to 4,629 ; in TeXa3 one to 4,933 ; in Missis sippi one to 5,745. But in Maryland the ratio is as low as one in 1,406 ; in Virginia one in 2,293 ; in Tennessee one in 1,860 ; in Kentucky one in 1,464; in Missouri one in 1,824, anti North Carolina as low es one in 1,373. • Now it is very strange that the great oily alleged to have existed at the South did not drive the poor negro to suicide end insanity It is strange that it did not pro duce deformity, blindness, idiocy and deaf muteness in his offspring A long eourna of ill treatment and ill feeding will dwarf the else and impair t he elrmigth ors race. But where is there such a specimen of the physical man RS was once to be found on the slave plantations of the South I The Irish are reckoned the strong get men in Europe, but they are deficient in, strength and endurance compared with the negro Some fiOeon years ago, a hundred Irish ditchers were employed on the James River and Kanawha Canal, and at jhe same limo a hundred negro men, ..field band.," not accustomed to ditching, were sit - tt la intanLylith them. A rivalry sprang up be tween the parties, and they did their tit termast excel ono another. But it isas sod* seen that the ant - hilted negrees.aotfild o far more work thairthe Irish No one who has seen the ste ° vodorce of Charleston, Savanah and New Orleans lifting or carry ing burdens, will believe that they have sprang from a bolt starved and ill used race The fact is the negro was the hest fed, the best clothed,, he best eared fer,and the least worked laborer en therglebe, Our sins in rrgard to him (and they are many) were rather sins of . omission than positive transgression. 11-is physical wants were well supplied, Atut his moral condition was neglected. On the large plantations, the master was satis fied to entrust the immortal interests of his slaves to his ehaphtin, while he gave his personal attention to their food. raiment and ehelter IM the smatter fame, the pi ous head of the family neglected to gather his negroes with his children around the family altar. The Lord commended Abra ham for cangfor the !spiritual condition of hie whole family, bond and free. "For I know him that he will command his chi/- drew and his house/mid after him, and they shall keep the way of tlo Lord, to do justice and judgment." We claimed for slavery that it was a pa. trinrchal institution, but it was only so where the religious duties of the slaves were as strictly enforeedas were hie secu lar duties. • Since we foiled to come up to the fu measure of our obligation, we have been punished for our neglcct. Nor do we be lieve that our people bre relieved from that obligation now. We fear that tho days of happiness and peace for the poor negro are over forever. In passing through Georgia and the two Carolinas, during the Chriet man holidays, we minted the fyn and frolic which had so unireraally prevailed at that Reason in times past. We missed the loud laugh, the merry fa ces, the banjos, the fiddles and the donn ing. A enrolee., unthinking, unrefiesting race, never accustomed to taking thought for the morrow, ware suddenly called upon to attend to their own wants and make pro vision for the future. The mental effort has been too great for those wholly unused to exercise 'their minds ; and their Inward, care-worn countenances betray the over exertion. The man, uninhabited to work with his own hands, sinks under the task which the day laborer would regard as a trine. And eo thought for the future has proved too heavy a burden for the freed- men. This element of unhappiness has been but little commented upon, thougift II has bean so prolific of suffering and death. We rejoice that our people feel the truest pity for the unfortunate creature, and as far as their own prostrate condition will permit, are ready to lend him a helping hand. We are more hopeful, too, than many in raised to the future of the negro. There is no reason that he should disappear as did the Indian, who ones roamed over our land. lie is surrounded by frlends,who Dave oared and provided for bim from his cradle. The Indian was augirdled by ene mies. Nor need be relapse into barbarism, likb the negro of the West Indian Islands, Negleetful as we have been of our Christian obligationi,the Degrees among us have gii* orally bean taught the plan of salvation auk the cardinal truths of religion. They are generally, too, outnumbered by the whites, and are therefore under better influences than those who have so badly deteriorated. We trust, therefore, that the future not so Mined with. ruin to the colored race as many of our wisest and meat far-seeing men suppose. Dot however limit may be, it is the duty as well as the policy of the South to stimulate, encourage ied cheer all wbo are disposed to earn honest livelihoods. And we are confident that the great maw of our population recognise these truths sad act upon them.
