It i seen that the ratio of iucreasc at no one of these seven periods is cither 2 per cent. below, or 2 por cent, above the average, thus showing how inlloxiblo aud consequently how reliable the law of iu croase in our case is. Assuming that it will contiuuo, gives the following results 1870, 42,333,311 ) 1880, 50,007,210; 1800, 70,077,872 ; 1000, 103,203.415 ; 1010, 133,018,520; 1820, 180,034,335; 1030,251,030,014. These figure show that our country may bo as populous as Europo now is, at isomo point bftweeu 1030 and 1030, nay about 1025, our territory at 73 J persons to tho squire milo being of tho capacity to contain 217,180,000 ; and wo will reaoh this, too, if we do not relinquish the chauco by tho folly aud evils of disunion, or by long aud exhausting war springing from tho only great cloment of national discord among us While it cannot ho forseen exactly how much ono hugo cxamplo of Secession breeding lessor ones, indefinitely would retard population, civilization and pro3 penty no one can doubt that the extent of it would bo vcrv irreat aud injurious Tho proposed emancipation would shorted tho war, perpetuate peace, insure the inereaso of population, and propor tionately tho wealth of the country. 'With these wo should pay all that emancipa tion would cost, together with our other debt, oasior than wo should pay our othor debt without it. If wo had allowed our old national debt to run, at six per cent, per annum, simple interest, from tho end of our Rev olutionary struggle until to-day, without paying anything on eithor principal or interest, eaoh man of us would owe less upon that debt now than each man owed upon it then. This h because our iucrcasc of men through tho wuolo period has been great or thau six per cent., has run faster than tho interest upon the debt. Thus time alone relieves a debtor nation bo long as its population increases faster than unpaid j interest accumulates on its debt. j This fact would bo noexouso lor aciay ing the payment of what w justly duo, but it shows tho croat importauoo of timo in this connection tho great advantage of a policy by which wo shall not havo to pay until we number ouo hundred mil- lioiis what. & difierent policy, we would liwo la pay now when wo number but ' thirty-one million". In a word, it shows that a dollar will bo much harder to pay for tho war than will be a dollar for emancipation on the proposed plan. And then tho latter will cost zo blood, no precious life. It will bo a saving of both. ' Ai to tha second article, I think it would bo impracticable to roturn to bond age tho class of persons therein contem- ' plated Somo of them, doubtless, in tho property seme, belong to loyal owners, and hence provision is made iu this ar- tiole for compensating such, inE FUTUttE Or THE TUBED BLACKS. The third article relates to tho future of the freed people. It does not oblige, but merely authorizes Congress to aid ia colonizing such a3 may consent. This ought not to be regarded as obj-ictionablo on the one hand or ou the other, insomuch as it comes to nothiog unless by the mu tual consent of the people to be deported , and tho American voters through their representatives in Congress. I cannot make it better known than it already is, that I strongly favor coloniza tion, and yet I wish to say there is an I objection urgod againit freo colored por- anna ,ninn!n!tln in llrt rtniintpir trtliml, !fl OVUa 4 Ulll UIUIIIU 414 4 44U 4.WU4.4.V, ,,444V.4 Id : largely imaginary, if not sometimes mali- .t,,n I It ii insisted that their presence would .

In times like the present men should utter nothing for which thoy would notf willingly bo responsible through timo and in eternity. Is it truo that tho colored people can displaco any moro white labor by being freo than by remaining slaves ? If they stay in their old placo thoy jostle no white laborers. If they leavo their old places, they leave them open to whito laborers. Logically thero is neithor more nor less of it. Etnniancipation, oven without deportation, would probably enhanco tho wages of white labor, and very turely would not reduce them. Thus the custo inary amount of labor would still havo to be performod. Tho froed pooplo would surely not do more than their old proportion of it, aud, very probably, for a time, would do less, leaving an increased part to wuite lanor crs, bringing thoir labor into greater do wand, and, consequently, enhancing the wages of it. With deportation oven to a limited extent, enhanced wages to white labor is mathematically certain. Labor is liko any othor commodity in tho market; inereaso tho demand for it, and you in crease tho price of it. Hcduoo tho supply of black labor by colonizing tho black laborer out of. tho country, aud by pre cisely so much you inorease tho demand for, aud wages of whito labor.

Tho District has more thau one frcccolorcdtosixwhitesjandyotinitsfro-'nni qao.it petitions to Congress 1 believe it ha, uuvvi pii'BULHuu iuc prusuuuu oi iroo col orcd persons us ono of it grievances. Uut why should emancipation South scud tho freed peoplo North People of any color seldom ruu unless there bo some thing to run from. Hero before, colorod pooplo, to somo oxtent, havo fled North from bondngo, and now, perhaps from both boudago nnd destitution, but if gradual emancipation and duporta tion bo adopted, they will have neither to floo from. Their old masters will give them wages nt least uutil new, laborers can bo pro cured, and tho freed men in turn will gladly give their labor for tho wages, till new homes can be found for them in con genial clime, and with peoplo of their own blood and race. This proposition can bo trusted on tho mutual interest involved ; and in any event, cannot the North decide for itself whether to rooeivo them ? Again ns practice proves more than theory, in any case, has thcic been any irruption of colored people north ward bceauso of the abolishment of slavery in this District last Spring? What I have said of the proportion of freo colorod persons to the whites, in tho District, is from the Census oi 1800, having no reference to persons called contrabands, nor to those made free by the ant of Congress abolishing slavery here. Tho plan cosisting of theso articles is recommended, not but that a restoration of tho national authority would bo ac cepted without its adoption ; nor will tho war nor proceedings under the proclamation of September 22d, 1802, bo stayed becauso of tho rccommcdation of this plan. Its timely adoption, I doubt not, would bring lestoration, aud thereby stay both. And notwithstanding this plan, the recommendation that Congress provide by law for compensation any State which may adopt emancipation before this plan shall havo been nctod upon, id hereby earnestly renewed. Such would be only an advance of the plan, and thosams arguments apply to both. THE ADVANTAOES OF THIS PLAN. This plan is recommended as a moans not in exclusion of, but additional to, all others lor restoring and preserving the national authority, throughout the Union. Tho subject is presented exclusively in its economical aspect, The plan would, I am confident, se cure peace more speedily and maintain it moro permanently than can be done by forco alone, tvhile all it would cost, considering amounts and manner of payinont, and times of payment, would be easier paid than will bo the additional cost of tho war, if we rely solely unon forco. It is much, very much, that it would cost no blood at all. 1 The plan is proposed, as permanent Constitutional law. It cannot become such without tho concurrency, of first. two thirds of Congress, and afterwards three-fourths of tho States will neccss arily include sc-von of tho Slave States. llieir concurrence, if obtained, will give assurance of their severally adopt ing emancipation at no very distant day upon the now constitutional terms. This assurance would end the struggle now, and save the Union forever. I do not forget the gravity which should characterize a paper addressed to the Congress of tho nation by the Chief Magistrate of the nation. Nor do I for get that s-Miie of you are my seniors ; nor that many of you have more experi cuce than I in tho conduct of public affairs. Yet 1 trust thai in view of tho great responsibility resting upon nic, you will perceive no want of respect to yourselves in any unduo earnestness I may seem to desplay. It is doubted, then, that the plan I propose, if adopted, would shorten the war, and thns lesson its expenditure of money and of blood .' Is it doubted that it would restore the National authority and National pros perity, and perpetuate both indefinitely? Is it doubted that we here, Congress and Executive can soeuro its adoption ?

Deskuved Rkuuke, It will bo recol lected by our readers that nhoitly prior to tho late election Theo. Fonii, Esq , of tbh city, published a circular detailing certain dishonest businsss transactions of the Abo lition candidate for Congress, John J. Pittorson. Fearing the damagiug tflVct of this document, Patterson eudoavored to prevent its circulation among the peoplo by threats of prosecution, and did institute a suit for libel ngainst Mr. Fonn, more for political etiuct than with any hope of i-us-taining suoh a proEocutiiu. Tho clcctiou, as every body knows, resulted in Pattersons overwhelming defeat. Well, couit met last wtek, but the great rejected did not' make his appearance. A bill of indictment agm'ujt Mr. Fenn w is nevertheless sent to the the grand jury, and here again Mr. Fenu's itatemunts woro cudorsed nud Patterson bigually rebuked, the grand jury ignonng the bill. The Telegraph's white washing nod Bcrgnsr'e oudorsomnnt of Patterson s "integrity" had as littlu off et with the jury as the vo'ers of tho district. Rejected by the United States Senat, repudiated by the peoplo, and rcbuk"d by tho grand inquest of this county, tho late Abilition candidate occupies a position far from enviable. lie is politically dead bo yond the hope of resurrection. I'nttcr.-on and his equally coriupt associates have learned ono useful lesson : "Houosty is tho best policy." Marriibtirg Patriot. Suwasso. Stuanoe. The people of all parties who desire to see the Union rC-t-tored, ero amazed and grieved nt the Presdent's emancipation proclamation they felt it to be another obstacle iu way of reEtoring thu Uuion, and they could see neither wi.idom or justico in it. The idea of a single effort of tho Prci-idcnt.P will, giving liberty to millions of nlavcs could not bo comprehended and the peo ple then, as now, were amazed at the act, and wondered how such a thing could be done in direct opposttion to thoOonstitu tion. They forget that the President was driven to it by his abolition dictators, with whom Constitutional restrictions amount io uoiu.iig, especially wnen tins slants ot me negro s io ue eilected J ho ink had scarcely dried on tho ema1: - cipation proclamation, giving universal ficcdo.n to negroes, uutil another proela- motion made its uppeaeanco which proved to be too directly oppoMto to its prcdcccs- tor.

Ex Justico Curtis, late of tho Supreuio Court of the Uuited Sfites.whoso diitentiug opinion in tho Dred Scott case was so much lauded by tho abolition press of the country, has just published a pam phlet in which ho demonstrates, with irro eis'ible foreo of logic, that both tho emancipation and the martial law iirnr-U. mations lately issued by President Lincoln, ore in violation of tho Constitution. It may theroforo bo regarded as certain that ii ciiuor oi tlio proclamations mentioned evor got into tho Supremo court, thoy will he set asido as unconstitonal, and therefore null and void. Judg Curtis' pamphlet is tho heaviest gun yet fired at Mr. Lincoln's rcceut policy, always oxcepting tho lato expression of publio sentiment at tho ballot box. Luzerne Union.
