and better the condition of their free black population.
But where are the great results? Let the census and
*reports of the prisons answer. Worse--inrompa
rablv worse, than the condition of the slaves; and de
monstrating that the free black in the midst of his
friends in the North, is sinking lower every day in the
scale of want and crime and misery. The regular
physicians' report and review, published in 1840, says
the .nfectst,-then, show an inereeuing disproportionate
numbs' of' colored prisoners in the eastern penitentia
ry." In contrasting the condition, fur the same year,
of the penitetitiarics of all the nonedaveholding state.
as cempetred with all the slaveholding States in which
returns are made, I find the numberuf fret: blacks is
fifkr-four toone, as compared with the slaves, in pro
portion to population, who use incarcerated hi these
prisons. There 'are no paupers among the slaves,
whilst in the non-slavehoLliug States treat is the num-
Ler of colored:paupers.
Frnm the Belgian statistics, compiled by Qtustel et,
the distinguished secretary of the Royal Academy at
'Brussels, it appeurs that in Belgium, the number of
deed and dumb was one 'net efevery 2.180 persons; in
Great Britain, one out of every 1,539; in Italy, one
out" cf every 1.539; and in Europe, one out of every
1,484. Of the blind, one net of every 1,009 in Bel
gium; one out of every 800 ih Prussia; one out of ev
ery 1,600 in France; and one out of every 1,686 in
Snxony; and' no further teems es to the blind are
given.—[Belgian Annuaire, 1836; pp. 213.215,217]
But the table shows an average in Europe of one of ev
ery 1,474 of deaf and dumb, and of about one out of
every 1 000 of blind; whereas our census shows, of
the deaf and dumb whites of the Union, one unit of ev
ery 2,173; and of the blacks in the non-slaveholding
states, one nut °revery 65fi; also, of the blind, one out
of every 2 821 of the whites of the Union, and 'one out
of every 516 of the -blacks of the non-slaveholding
stares. Thus we have not only shown the conditiou
of the bludis of the non-slaveholding states to be far
worse than that of the slaves of the south, but alsofir
wor=e than the condition of the people of Europe, de
plorable as that may be. It has been heretofore shown
that the free h'acks in the non-slaveholding states
were becoming. in an augmented proportion, more
debased in morals as they increased in numbers; and
-
the ri't'e prormKi tion 13 true in other respects. TIM,
by the census of 1830, the number of deaf and dumb of'
the free blacks of the non-slaveholding states, was one
'out of every 996; and of the blind, one out of every
e 93; whereas we have seen, by the census of 1840;
number of blacks, deaf and dumb, in non-slaveholding
was one oat of every 656; and of blind, one out
of every 516. In the last ten years, then, the alarming
fact h> proved, that the proportionate number or free
blace deaf and demb. and also of blind, has increased
50 pe r cent. No statement as to the insane or idiots
is given in the census of 1830.
Let its now examine the future increase of free
blkeksirt ties States adjoining the ing States,
if Teviskii*reannexed to the Union. By the cen
sus of 1710hilenumber of free blacks in the State.
010.1 i int New iferk)adjnininz the slaveholding States,
was 13,953. In the States (adding New York) adja
)lJ/1i! cent to the slavehelding States, the number of free
a .blacks, by the census of 1840, was 148.107; being an
aggregate inerca,e of nearly eleven tootle in New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Now, by the census and table above given, the aggre
care niim!-rar of free blacks who are deaf and dumb,
idintor insane. paupers, or prisons, in the non
-' riaveholding States, was '26.342, or one in every six of
the whole number. Now if the free black population,
altorild increase in the same ratio, in the aggregate, in
New York, New Jersey, Pennsvlvanin, Ohio, Ifidiann,
anti Illinois, from 1840 to 1890, as it did from 1790

"The 'dilemma' which the Post says we are in con
sists in publishing the following extract from one of
Mc. Clay'sspeeches, in our paper of Saturday last.
"Mr Clay said the object of the bill was to raise
money. Suppose there 1486 revenue !Panted and
"could only be obtained by going beyond the compro
"mist, they would hove to do it. kie was desirous
"to presierve the compromise act inviolate, and his
"hope and belied was that they might by economy be
"able to do so "—f Extract from Mr. Clay's speech
in the Senate, extra session, Sept. 7, 1841.1
Bat the Pciet4sorrestly, doiibtkws, forgot to quote
the roster Mr. Clay's remarks, on the same subject,
and which we published in connection with the above.
Had he cast his eyes nlittle fukher down the column,
and read Mr Clay's remarks explanatory of the above,
he would have seen they would not serve his purpose
at all, but then he could not have got us into the 'di
lemma' which tickles his fancy so mightily."
After telling how Mr CLAY reproached Mr Be-
CHANAV and other Democratic Senators, the editor
gives the following extracts which be thinks explains
the paragraph above quoted and which he °ensures
us for not copying.
"These classes, both agreeing in this, however they
' may . differ on other points of national policy,
' compose so large a majority as to render it itnpossi
• hie, were it desirable, (which, said Mr Clay. I think
' it is not,) to pass a 14 We protective Tariff.",
'• Mr Buchanan, speaking across. Then- you have
chanted your opinion. ea
"Mr Clay. I HAVE NOT CHANGED MT OPINION
AT ALL. I AM STILL FOR PROTECTION. Such as
• can be obtained under all actual circumstances. All
.• agree that the Government must have the necessary
• supplies for the public service; that the ways and
.means must be provided ; and if, in layingtbe duties
necessary to effect this end protection can be inciden
' tally given, I hope there is not a man on either side
'of the Chamber who will be opposed to that."—
[Extract from Mr Clay's speech made in the Senate,
March 23, 1842.
Here Mr. Clay emphatically declares himself to
be STILL FOR PROTECTION.
This is a mast capital explanation of the first par
agraph. and proves conclusively what we have charg
ed, i. e- that Mr Clay is only in favor of incidental
protection and will not consent to give any further
encouragement to home industry than maybe derived
from the process of raising revenue:
According to the Gaiette, Mr Clay, in. September
1111, implored Ctingssea to "preserve Aha Compro
mise act inviolate," and not to go beyond it except
for the purpose of ix - listing revenue, and we have the
same authority that in Match, 1842, he declared that
he bad not chonged.his opinion, but was in favor of
the ineidenta/ protection that would be afforded by
providing the necessary supplies fur the public service.
He hopes that no man would object to each protection,
and so do we, for be that would desire legs favor for
our own workmen than Mr Clay claims in the above
extracts, would go far beyond the most ultra nullifiers
of the South.
We hope the editor of the Gazette will now admit
that we have done justice to Mr Clay. We - have given
theextract from his speechpf 1841,in which he defends
the Compromise act and declares his determination to
preserve it inviolate, unless it should be necessary to
go te - syond it for - the purpose of raising revenue—not
to protect home industry--and we have given what
the Gazette considers an explanatory extract from his
speech of 1434 e, in which he declares that he has -'not
changed bis opinion, but is still for protection, such as
can be obtained under actual circumstances," or in
plain terms, such as can be obtained by preserving the
Compromise act inviolate. •
If the editor of the Gazette is not in a dilemma. will
he inform the public how Mr CLAT can be still for
protection when he desires that the Compromise act
should be preserved inviolate, and is unwilling to afford
domestic industry any further protection than can be
incidentally gi ven by providing necessary supplies for
the public service? Mr Denny says that the Compro
mise act was the cause o" . all the c anMercial distress
that has afflicted the country, and the same gentleman
states in the most positive manner that Mr Clay was
in..trurriental in affecting its passage. Before the edi
tor of the Gazette can convince the public that M
Clay is in favor of a protective tariff he must disprove
the letters and speeches of Mr Denny, and show that
preserving the Compromise act inviolate is all the pro
tection that the interests of our me chanics and manu
facturers require.
TEXAS ANNEXATION
The Post, the leading locofoco paper in this city,
some time since declared itself opposed to the annexa
tion of Texas. This was before it had got its cue from
the, knowing. Now, when there is real danger, and
when the country is taken by surprise, and stands
almost aghast at the pit dug for its ruin by the treache
ry of John Tyler, the Post has not a word to say in
opposition to the scheme, and is actually publishing a
very Inhered defencein favor of annexation, written by
Senator Walker. This clearly shows that the Post
has changed its ground, and will shortly be found de
fending and advocating the scheme.—Gaz ette.
The above is from the org in of those fifteen' mason
ic whigs' who subscribed V2OO a piece to buy up the
Gazette. It is truly modest for a sheet of its mercen
ary character to attribute dishonest motives to any of
its cotemporaries. How aptly its own language, with
slight variation, will apply to the recent course of its
editor. Let us try it. The Gazette, the leading co..n
paper in this city, some time since, declared itself op
posed to Masonry, *airy Clay. and Slavory. This
wus before those fifteen 'masonic whigs' subset ibed to
the pony purse; but now, when there is real danger that
the curse of Slavery will be extended, we find it sup
porting a Staveholder and a Mason. The Gazette
has changed its ground. It formerly denounced Clay;
it is now supporting him. It denounced Masonry—if
we are rightly informed, the editor now holds a com
mission from the Lodge, and he certainly has a close
political and pecuniary fellowship with high adhering
masons. It denounced Slavery in every form, and it is
now using all its efforts to elect a Slaveholder to the
highest office in the gift of the people. This is a sweet
ommern to charge the Post with inconsistency.
Ouropinions respecting the annexation of Texas are
ourown. The question is not one of party principle.,
but of public policy. Democracy and Whiggery have
but little to do with it, and friends and opponents of the
measure are to be found imbeds parties. The Guam%
pretends to be opposed. to annexation, but what assu.
ranee can it give the pubic that it will not change its
positioot It is known that fifteen whigs induced it to
. perform a complete sonierset in relation .to May, Ma•
roar, and Slanery,asid whatguarantee have we that

the party politics of the day. They use it as a mere
pack horse to carry out other schemes that they dare
not advocate boldly, and they would much rather see
it lost altogether, than it should be carried without
permitting there to turn it to party adwantage.

two-third vote of the legislature to create a corporation,
and the grounds of the decision are understood to be,
that the law did not puss by such a vote.

Our returns are not sufficient to clear the State of

What we have from Tolland is capitol, and augurs

the Legislature is right.
