State?, the same sum would not have done
®ore to close the war than has been otherwise
done. If so, the measure would save money,
fl nd in that view would be a product and eeo
D oinical measure. Certainly it is not so easy
to pay something as it is to pay nothing.—
But it is easier to pay a large sura than it is
to pay a larger one, and it is easier to pay
an y sum, when we are able than it is to pay
it before we are able. Tbo war requires them
a t once—the aggregate sum necessary for
compensated emancipation of course would be
] ar <re, but it would really require no cash, nor
bonds, any faster than the emancipation pro
gresses. This might not, and probably would
not olo fi e before the end of thirty-seven years.
At that time we shall probably have one
bniidred millions of people to share the burd
ens, instead of thirty one millions as now, and
not only so, but the increase of our population
jnnv be expected to continue for a long time
after the period as rapidly as before, because
oar territory will not have become full. Ido
not state this inconsiderably. At the same
ratio of increase which we have maintained on
on average from our first national census in
11' JO, until that of 1860, we should in 1900
have a population ol 103.205.415 ; and why
may we not continue that ratio far beyond
that period ? Our abundant room, onr broad ;
national homestead is our ample resource.— j
W< re our territory as limited as are the Brit- !
ish isles, very certainly our population could j
not expand as stated. Instead of receiving
the foreign born as now, we should lie com- |
pellet! to send part of the native born away j
tut such is not our condition. \V • have two j
millions nine hundred ai d sixty three thou--- [
and square miles ; Europe has three millions !
aud eight hundred thousand, with a popula !
ticn averaging seventy-three and one third j
persons to the square mile. Why may not j
otrcountry at some time average as many ? j
Is it less fertile ? Has it more waste surface
by mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts or other
causes ? Is it inferior to Europe in any natur
al advantage ? If. then, we are at some time j
to he as populous as Europe, how soon ? As !
to when this may be, we can judge by the ;
past an i the present As to when it will
if ever, depends much on whether we maintain j
the Union Sevcrai of our States are above the :
average European population of seventy-three j
and a half to the square mile. Massachusetts |
■gins one hundred fifty seven, Rhode I•I at I 1 133, !
New York and New Jersey each 80 ; also,
two otln r great States, Pennsylvania and j
Ohio, are not far below, the former having 63 j
and the latter 59. The Stales above the
European average, except New Yoik, have in - j
creased in as rupid ratio since pa-Jug that point i
as ever before, while no one of them is equal j
to some other parts of our country in natural j
capacity for sustaining a dens; population.
Taking the nation in the aggregate and we ;
find its population and the ratio of increase !
for the several decimal periods to be as fol
lows :
1700— 3.1120527.
lso _ 5.3n5,!-47— 02 per rent, ratio of increase.
] s 10— K.'J.1.t.5U4—37.4.1 per rent, ratio ol i:i tease.
Ix2o y.tll!- 1 i 11—33.13 pr rent, ratio of increase.
1530—12.Mi11.020—33.40 per cent, ratio of increase.
1-40—IT .0.;: 14. ">3—32 , 7 percent, ratio of increase.
1- >0- 23 101.M0J—35.57 per rent, ratio of increase.
1-00—31.442,790—35,56 per rent, ratio of increase.
This shows .'.n average decennial increase of
34 GO per cent in population through the sev
enty years from our first to our last census
taken. It is seen that the ratio of increase
at no one of these seven periods is cither 2 |
per rent abovA the average, tlt tin showing
how ii flexible and consequently how reliable j
the law of increase in our case is. Assuming |
that it will continue, it. gives the following !
results : 1870,42 323,341; 1880, 56,96?-!
217: 1890, 76,677,892 : 1900, 103,308,415 ;
1910, 138,818,526; 1920, 186,984,235 ; 1931>', I
251,680,914. These figures show that our :
country may lie as populous as Europe now is ;
at some point between 1920 and 1980, say
about 1925 ; our territory, p.t 73 12 persons j
to the square mile. b"i-g ol the crp> ity to 1
contain 217 186,090 ; and we w : 'l re a •! this,
too, if we no not r linquish the chances by the ,
folly and evils of disunion or by long and ex
haunting war springing from the only great :
element of national discord among us While j
it cannot be foreseen exactly how much one ;
huge example of secession, breeding lesser
ones indefinitely, would retard the population,
civilization and prosperi y, no one can doubt
that the extent of it would be very great and
injurious.
T' proposed emancipation Would shorten I
the war, perpetuate p-ace, insure this increase j
of population, and proportionally the Wealth >
of the country. With this we should pay ad
the emancipation would cost, together with I
our other debts, easier than we should pay onr
other debts without it. Ir we had allowed ;
our old N itional debt to run at six per cent j
per annum, at simple interest, ftotn the end of (
the U •volu'iomiry struggle till to-day, without i
paying anything on either principal or interest, !
-each m in of us would owe less upon that debt |
now iha-n each man owed up' n it then ; and j
this because-of our increase of m m through
the whole period has been greater than 6 per I
stent, awl -has rnn faster than the interest ;
•upon the -debt. Thus, time alone relieves a
debtor nation so long as its population in
•creases faster than unpaid interest accumulates
on the debt. This fact, would be no exense
for delaying the paymarvt of what is justly due;
but ii shows the great important:* of
this connection, the great advantage of a poli
cy by which we shall not have to pay until we
number a hundred millions, what, by a riiff r
cut policy, we could have to pay now when
the number is hut thirty one millions In a
word, it shows that a dollur will be much
harder to pay for the wnr than will lie a dol
Jar for emancipation on the propo<ed plan.—
And then the latter will cost no blood, no
precious life. It will be a saving of both. As
to the second article, I think it would be iin
practicable to return to bondage the class of
persons contemplated. Some of them, doubt
less, in the property sense, belong to loyal
owners, and hence provision is made in this
article for compensating such. The third
article relates to the futureof the freed people
It does not oblige but merely authorize Con
gress to aid in colonizing such as may consent.
This had not ought to be regarded as objec
"tional on the one hand, or on the other, inas
much as it comes to nothing unless by mutual
consent of the people to be deported, and the
American people through their representatives
in Congress. I cannot make it better known
than it already is, that 1 strongly favor colo
tiizition : and yet 1 wish to say there is an
objection urged against the colored people
remaining in the country, which is largely
Imaginary if not sometimes malicious. It is
ins -ted that their presence would injure and
displace white labor and white laborers. If
there ever could be a proper time for mere
ornaments that time surely is now. In times
lik< the present men should utter nothing for
which -they would not willingly be responsible
through time and eternity.
Is it true, then, that colored people can displace any
more white labor by being free than remaining slaves?—
It they stay in their old places they jostle no white la
borers. If they lea ve their old places, they leave them
open to white laborers. Logically there is neither more
or less of it. Emancipation, even without deportation,
woold probably enhance the wages of white labor, and
very surely would not reduce them. Thus the customary
amount of labor would still have to be performed. The
freed people would surely not do more than their old pro
portion o it, and very probably, for a time, would do
less, leaving an increased part to white laborers-, bringing
their labor into greatei demand, and. consequently, en
hancing the wages of it. With deportation, even to a
limited extent, edhancing wages ol wiiite labor, is math
ematically certain. Labor is like any other commodity
in the market ; increase the demaui for it, and you in
crease the price ol it. Reduce the supply of black labor,
by colonizing the black laborer out of the country, and
by preci-ely so much you increase the demand lor and
the wages ol white labor, lint it is decided that the freed
people will swarm forth and cover the whole land. Are
they net already in the land ? Will liberation make them
anymore numerous? Equally distributed umong the
whites of the whole count>y, and there would be butoue
colored to seven whites. Could the one in any way great
ly disturb the seven ? There are many communities now
having more than one free colored person to seven whites
and this without any apparent consciousness of evil from
it. The District ol Columbia and tbe States of Maryland
and Delaware are all in this condition. The District has
more than <>ue tree colored to six whites. Yet, in its
Irequcut petitions to Congress, 1 believe it has never pre
sented the presence of free colored persons as one of its
greviances. But why should Emancipation South send
the freed people North ? People of any color seldom run
unless there lie something to run frmii. Heretofore, col
ored peoule, to some extent, have fled North Irom bon
dage. and now. perhaps trnm both—bondage and des
titution ; but if gradual Emancipation and deportation
be adopted, they will h tve neither to flee from. Their
oiu masters will give them wages, at least, until new la
borers can be procured ; and the (reed men, in turn, will
gladly give .heir labor tor the wages till new homes can
tie found for them in congenial climes, and with people
ol their own blood and race.
This proposition can be trusted on the mutual interests j
involved, and in any event, cannot the North decide lor |
itself, wlie her t.> receive them. Again, as practice
proves more than tli ory in any ca-e, has there been any
irruption <>t colored people northward because ol the abol- J
ishmeut of Slavery in this District, last Spring ? What :
I have -ciid of he proportion of lice colored persons to
the whites in the District ol Columbia is from the census
of 1 Mio, h ving no reference to persons called contra
hands, nor to those made tree by the act of Congress
abolishing Slavery here. The plan consisting of these
articles is leconimendi d, not but that a restoration ofthe
National authority would be accepted without its adop
tion ; nor will the war, nor proceeding- under the i'roc
l.nnati:>n of September 22d istri, be stayed, because of
the recommendation of this plan, its timely adoption I
doubt t: it would bring restoration, and thereby stay both.
And notwithstanding this plan, the recommendation that
Congress provides by law tor compensating any State
which may adopt emancipation before this plan shall
have been acted upon, is hereby earnestly renewed. Such
would not only be an advance part of the plan, and the
same argument apply to both This plan is recommend
ed as a means not in exclusion of but additional to, all
others for restoring and preserving the National author
ity through 1 ut the Union. The subject is presented ex
clusively t> its economical aspect. The plan would, I
am confident, secure peace more speedily than can he
done by force alone, while it would cost, considering
amounts and manner of payment and times ol payment,
and the amounts would be easier paid than will be the
additional cost of the war if we rely only upon force. It
is most likely—very likety—that it would cost no blood at
all.
The plan is proposed as permanent constitutional law.
It cannot become such without the eoncurrance of—first
two-thirds of Congress, and afterwards three-fourths ol :
the States. The requisite three-fourths of the States will j
necessarily include seven Slave States. Their concur- ,
rente, if obtained, will give assurance of their severally j
adopting emancipation at no distant day upon the new j
constitutional terms. This assurance would end the
struggle now, and save the Union forever
I d > not forget the gravity which should characterize
a paper addressed to the Congress of the nation, by the
Chief Magistrate of the nation, nor d I forget that some
ol yo are my seniors, nor that many of you have more |
experience than I in the conduct, ol public affairs: yet I j
trust, that in view of the great responsibility re-ting up- j
on me, you will preeeive no want of respect to yourselves j
in any undue earnestness I may seem to display. Is it j
doubted, then, that the plan I propose, if adopted, would
shorten the war. and thus lessen its expenditure ot mo
ney and of blood ? Is it doubted that it would restore the
national prosperitn. and perpetuate both iudelinately ?
Is it doutted that we here. Congress and Executive,
can secure its adoption ? Will not the good people re
spond to a united and earnest appeal from us? Can we,
can they, by any other means, so certainly or so'speedily
assure these vital objects ? We can succeed only by con
cert. It is not " Can any of us imagine better ?" but
'• Can we all do better ?"' Object whatsoever is possible
still the question recurs " Can we do better ?" The dog
ma of the quiet past are inadequate to Hie stormy pres
ent. The occa-ion is piled high with difficulty, and we
niu-t rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we
must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall
ourselves, and then we shall save our country.
Fellow c tizens—We cannot escape history.
We. of this Congress, will be remembered in spite Of
ourselves.
No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare i
one or another of us.
The fiery trial through which we pass, will lignt us
d >wn in honor or dishonor to the latest generation.
We say that we are for the Union. The world will
not forget t hat while we say this, we do know how to
save the Union. The world knows we do know how to
save it. We, even we tiere, hold the power and hear the
responsibility.
In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to j
the free, honorable alike in what we give and what we i
preserve.
We .-hall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope j
of the ea tli.
Other means may succeed. This conhl not f ail.
The w.iv is plain—peaceful, generous, ju-t—a way i
which, if illowed, the world will ever applaud and God |
must forever bless.

SUMMARY OF NEWS.
The news telegraphed from the Ileadqtiar
to-s of the Armv of the Potomac is not itn
p fa-it. The cannonading mentioned in pre
vious dispatches, it now appears, was from
one of the enemy's right wing batteries. The
explanation of it is not known We have some
add tional news of much importance from the
rebel side of the Rappahannock, brought over
by two gentlemen recently tro:n Richmond,
and holding positions under the rebel Gov
ern eut —ooe as a Captain in a Texas regi
ment, and the other as a clerk in the Quar
termaster's Department—and who have con
eluded to seek protection under the o!d flag.
These gentlemen agree that the rebel force at
Fredericksburg numbers from 75,000 to 100,-
GOO men certainly not exceeding the latter
figure. LEE and his associates are for ot.ee, I
however, puzzled by the movements of our
armv, and are in doubt as to its future move
ments. They think the attack on Richmond
| is to be made from some other quarter, and
acting upon this idea, they have commenced
the erection of earthworks for the protection
jof a garrisou force, while the main body ol
1 their army has again commenced moving
toward Richmond. The Quartermaster's
clerk further says that the entire rebel army
has never exceeded 475,000 men.
The Memphis correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune telegraphs under date of Nov. 26 :
" There is nothing especially new, except tbut
Gen. SHERMAM has been all day ou the move.
lam not iuloiined as to his destination, llie
rebels fear very much that he may move upon
Grenada. Gen. SHERMAN'S advance was
known in Mobile a week ago, and created a
lively interest. All their railroads were
moving troops, but no longer in the direction
ol Holly Springs. On the contrary, they take
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to Columbus,
Mississippi, where the rebels have exteusive
ordnauce stores. I learn thut WOOD'S
Division entered Lebanon on the Bth, driving
MORGAN'S cavalry away.

W E see it stated in onr city papers, thnt
Lieut. Col. 11. B.MCKEAN, of the Sixth Pa. Reserve,
has resigned his commission. Col. M. is a worthy and
meritorious officer, aud his regiment will lose an able
commander.
We have not yet heard of the cause of his resignation,
hut presume it is inconsequence of ill health, as we un
derstand he has been unfit for duty for some time.
BSL. ON Tuesday morning last, a little in
fant, apparently about four or five weeks old, was found
on the door step of Mrs. J. D. VANDEKCOOK, a widow la
dy of this place. The little one, as the night was very
cold, was much chilled, but proper restoratives being ap
plied, soon revived, and is now in the possession of Mrs.
A. M. KRAMER. Who its parents are is a mystery—to
the child.
B®* INFANTICIDE. —On Thursday last, a
man named ELEAZEK HARRINGTON, and his wife SUSAN,
were brought to this place, from Terry township, and
confined in jail, chargid with murdering a little child,
some three or four weeks old. As Court convened on
Monday, the case was submitted to the Grand Jury, and
a True Bill found. The Court ordered Sheriff SPALDING,
Drs LAUD, TURNER and DEXNISON, to proceed to the
place where the child was interred,and disentomb itanJ
make a post mortem examination. This examination
was made, and we are informed by one of the party, that
the corpse presented a most horrible and sickening as
pect. The body presented signs i f abu-e and was maltreat
ed in the most shameful manner—its limbs and body be
ing bruised and mangled to a shameful extent. Both
parties are late from Wyoming county. They will prob
ably have their trial during this session.
THE last number of the Union Advo
catc, published in Auburn, CaL, contains the death of
MARVIN E. MILLS, son of STEPHEN A. MILLS of North
Towanda township. Mr. MILLS studied law with J. C
ADAMS Esq., and alter being admitted to practice, emi
grated to California, where he arrived in 1851. He first
started in that country by engaging in mining, but he
soon gave it up and commenced the practice of law in Pla
cer county. In 1854 he run on the Whig Ticket and was
elected District Attorney. During the time he held that
important office, he gained an enviable reputation as a
criminal lawyer and was considered by many as second
to none in tbe .State, lie leaves a large circle of friends
to mourn his early death. He died of disease of the
brain.
PHOTOGRAPH ALBUMS. —More gaiety
and more gravity have been exercised over photograph
albums than over any other species of compilation.—
They are either portraits or parodies of all the •' beau
ties, harmonies, and sublimities of (human) nature."—
A great many very had jokes have been cracked over
them, and a few rather good ones. A bewitching little
wile and an old satyr of a husband have been character
ized as a new version of Beauty and the Beast—a weak
husband aud a Jezebel wile, as St. George and the
Dragon.
Sedate clergymen, with very black gloves and very
white neckties; sedate matrons, pluming themselves
on their plumpness, and engaging in their enbonpoint ;
green, skinny school girls, with sickly-looking eyes and
short dresses ; middle aged men about town, excessively
polite and exceedingly iprofatft ; heads of families, look
ing as though the)' were being asked for money and
were trying to get out of it; actors in attitude, and
dancers twirling on their toe-tips—all these, and a hun
dred others which cannot be illustrated in a local, con
gregate together in a photograph album.
Some look as if they were visited with strokes of ge
nius ; some with strokes of apoplexy-; others as if they
should be picking rags; and others, again, as if their
proper vocation was picking pockets. A few faces may
be called i eautiful. Women have often been called an
gels, and we presume it is for this reason lovers always
prefer their sweethearts represented as among the clouds.
Babies are bad enough in real lite, (mothers, please pass
over this portion;) hut in albums they bloom with a
meek, sleepy kind of infantile horror, which is not pre
ferable to their natural gilts Of mind and person. How
ever, as we are always in for fashions, so with respect
to ibis fashion we cry with the crowd, rive the photo
graphic albums.
