'Our strife pertains to 'ourselves, to . the pesiing generations Of men, and it Cannot, :without conVulsion,:be hushed foreverwith the 'passing of one generation. In this view, I recommend the adop _ lion of the following resolution and arti eles emendatory off the 'Constitution al . the United States : Resolved, By the Senatj3 and House of Rep resentatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two-thirds of both Houses concurring, that the following .Arti -1 ales be proposed to the Legislatures or Con `: ventions of the several . States, !as Amend • meets to the Constitution of the United States, all or any of which Articles, when ratified by' j three-fourths of the said Legislatures or Con , .rentions, to be valid as a part or parts of the said Constitution, vie : Awriesa--Every State wherein Slavery' ow exists which shall abolish the same therein at any time or times before the first day of Jan nary, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine bnndred,shnll receive compensation from the United States, as follows, to wit : . The President of the United States shall de liver to every such State bonds of the United States, nearing interest at the rate of for each slave Shown to have been therein by the Eighth Census of the United States, said bonds to be delivered to such State by installments, , or:in one parcel, at the completion of the abolishment, accordingly as the same shall have been gradual or at one time within . such 'State ; and interest shall begin to run upoh any such bond only from the proper time of its delivery as aforesaid, and afterward. Any State having received bonds as aforesaid,and afterward introducing or tolerating Slavery therein, shall refund to the United States the bonds so received or the value thereof and' ll ; interest paid thereon. AILTICLE.—AII slaves who shall have enjoy ed actual freedom, by the chances of the war, at any time before the end of the Rebellion, shall be forever free ; but all owners of such, Who shall not have been disloyal, shall be compensated for them at the same rates as is proVided for States adopting abolishment •of Slavery, but in such a way that no slave shall be twice accounted for. Awricut.—pongress may appropriate money and otherwise provide for colonizing free col ored persons, with their own consent, at any place or places without the United States.: I beg indulgence to discuss these pro posed article's at some length. Without Slavery, the rebellion could never have existed; without Slavery, it could not continue. Among the friends of the Union there is great diversity of sentiment and of policy in regard to Slavery and the African race among us. Some would abolish it suddenly, and without compensation ; some would abol ish it gradually, and with compensation; some would remove the freed people from us, and some would retain them with us; and there are yet.other minor diversities. Because of these .diversities, we waste much strength in struggles among,nur selves ; by mutual concession,, we should harmonize and act together. This - would be a compromise among the friends and not with the enemies of the Union. These articles are intended to embody a plan of such mutual concessions.' If the plan shall be adopted, it is assumed that emancipation will follow, at least in sev eral of the States. As to the first article, the main points aro : I. The emancipation. 2. The length of time for connummat ing (thirty-seven years); and, II 3. The compensation. ' r The Emancipation Will be unsatisfac tory to the advbcates of perpetual Slavery, but the length of time should greatly mitigate their dissatisfaction. The time spares both races from the evils of Bud ' den; derangement; in fact, from the tie-1 cessity of any derangement, while most of those whose habitual course of thought will be disturbed by the measure will have passed away before 'its cons,umtua- 1 Lion, They will -never see it.E Another class will hail the prospect oCemancipa- 1 tion, but will deprecate the :length of time. They will feel that it gives too little to the now Irving _ slaves.- But it really gives them much. " It 'saves them from the vagrant destitution which must largely / attend immediate emancipation in' localities where their numbers are very great, and - it gives the inspiring assurance that their4osterity shall be free: forever. The plan leaves to each State choosing to act under ft to,abolish Slavery now or at the end sof the century, or at any inter mediate time, or by degrees extending over the whole or any part of the period, and it obliges no two States to proceed alike. It also provides for compensation, and generally the mode of making it. This, it would seem, must further miti gate the dissatisfaction Of those who favor perpetual Slavery and especially of those who are to receive compensation. Doubt less, some of those , who are Ito pay and riot to receive, will object; yet that the measure is both just and economical is certain. The liberation of the sfaves is the de struction of property; property acquired by descent or by purchase,. the same as any other property. It is no foil true for having been often said that the people of the South are no, more responsible for the original intro-, duction of this property than are the people of the North; and when it is re tempered her unhesitatingly 'we uso—' all of ns use—cotton and sugar, and' share the profits of dealing in them, it may not be quite safe to say, that the South has been more responsible than the North for its continuance. If, then, fur a common object, this property is to be sacrificed; is it not just that it be done at a common charge ? And if with lees money, or money , more easily paid we can preserve the benefits of _the Union by that means than we can by the iwai alone, is it not also economical to do it? Let ns consider it then. Let us forcer-, Min the sum we have expended in' the war. since - compensated emancipation was proposed, last" March, and consider whether, if that measure bad been promptly accepted .by"even some .of 'the Slave States', the same sum would' not havtudane more to elose, the war than has been Otherwise done. If le,' the measure would save money, and in that view, would be a prudent and economicali meastiro.: certainty, ' it is not ,so easy to pay,_something _as' it is to pay nothing. But it is easier to pay a large sum 'than it is to pay a larger one, and it is easier to pay any sum, when we are able,:than it is to pay it" • .before 'we are able. ',The war requires them at once. The aggre gate intm'ne esiary for' compensated of reline, would be large, but it would. uire no_ ready cash, , nor l i toode-even, any- faster thin:the 'emanci pation progress:* This might not, and probably would net' close before the end of the thirty-seven years. At tbat. - time, we shall probably. have 100,000,000 of people to share the burden, instead of 31,000,000, as now; and, not only so, but - the increase of our population may be expected to continue for a long time after the period' as rapidly as before, because our territory will not have become full. Ido not state this inconsiderately. l At the same—ratio of- increase which we have maintained on an average from our first National Census-in 1790, until that of 1860, we should, in 1900 have a pop ulation of 103,208,415, and why may we not continue that ratio far beyond that ' period? Our abundant room, ou-rbroad i National homestead is our ample resource. Were our territory as limited as are the British Isles, very certainly our popula tion could not expand as stated. Instead 'of receiving the foreign-born, - es now, we should be compelled to send part of the native-horn away ; but such is not our condition. We, have 2,963,000 square miles. - Furope has 3,300,000, :with ' a population averaging seventy-three and one-third persons to the square miles. Why may not our country at some time average as many? Is it ; less fertile? Has it more wastesurface by mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, or Other causes ? Is it inferior to Europe iO any 'natural advantage ? If, then, we are at some time to be as populous as Europe, how soon ?. As to when this may be, we can edge by the past and the present.. As o when it will, if ever, depends much on rwhether we maintain the Union. Several of our State r s are above the average Euro -1 Ipean population of 731 to the square , mile. Massachusetts has 157, Rhode l lsland 133, New York and New Jersey each 'BO ;, and two other great States, Pennsylvania end Ohio, are not far below, the former having 68, and the latter 59. The States, already above the European average, except New York, have increased in as rapid ratio since passing that point as ever before, while no one of them is equal to some other parts of our country, in natural capacity for sustaining a dense population. Taking the nation in the aggregatcf, and we find , its population' and ratio of increase for the several decennial periods to bo as follows : 1790. 3,929,827 , f 1800. 5,305,937-35.02 pr ct ratio ofincrease 1810. 7,239,914-36,45 pr ct ratio of increase 1820. 9,638,131-33,49 pr ct ratio of interest 1830: 12,866,020 .33,49 pr ct ratio of increase 1840. 17,869,453-32.67 pr ct ratio of increase 1850 . 23,191,876-35.87 pi ct ratio of increase 1860. 31,443,790-35.58 pr ct ratio of increase This shows an average decennial in crease of 34.60 per cent. in population through the seventy years from our first to our last census taken. It is seen that the rates of increase at no. one of these seven periods is either two per cent below or two per cent above the average, thus showing hoe; inflexible, and consequently how reliable the law of increase in our case is. Assuming that it wile continue, it gives the following results : 1870, 42,323,341; 1880, 56,967,216; 1890, 76,677,872 ; 1900, 103,208,415 ; 1910, 138,918,526; 1920; 186,984,335; 1930, 251,680,914. These figures show that our country tnay be as populous as Europe now is at some point between 1920 and 1930, say about 1925—0ur territory, at 73i persons to the square mile, being of the capacity to contain 217,186,000; and we will reach this, too, if we do not ourselves relinquish the chances by the folly and evils of disunion, or by long and exhausting war, springing from the only great element of national discord among us. While it cannot be foreseen exactly how much one huge ex ample of secession breeding lesser • ones indefinitely would retard the population, civilization, and prosperity, no one can doubt that the extent of it irould be very great and injurious. The, proposed emancipation would, shorten the war, perpetuate peace, insure this increase of the population and pro, Portionately,of. the wealth of the country. With this we should pay all the emanci pation would cost, together with our other debts, easier than we should Pay our other debts without it. If we had allowed our old national debt to run at 6 per cent per annum, !Amide interest; ficim the end of our Revolutionary struggle' till, to•day without guying anything on either principal er interest, each . man of us would owe less upon that debt now than each man owed upon it then, and this because our inorei,sse of. men through the whole period has been greater than 6 per cent., and has run faster than the interest upon the debt:' ;tittle alone relieves el debtor' nation- so long as its population increases - Ifaster than tiepaid_interest accumulateS on its debt.. This fant'siould be tio excuse M. delaying the payment of Iwhat is justly_due, bat it shows.the great importance •of time in this connection, the great advantage Oa *MO , by which we shall not him to pay until we number a hundred millions, what by a different policy we should have to pay now, when the number is but 81,000,000. In a word, it shows that a dollar will be much harder to pay for the war than :will be a dollar for emancipation on the propOsed 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 impracticable to return to bondage the class of persons therein contemplated. Some of them doubtless, in the property sense, belong to loyal owners, and . hence provision is made in this article for compensatinisuch. The third article relates to the future of the' freed people. It does not oblige, but merely authorizes, Congrese to aid in colonizing such as may consent. This ought not to be regarded as , objectionable on the one hand or on the other, insomuch as it comes to nothing unless by mutual consent of the people to be deported and the American voters, throut their repre sentatives in Congress. I cannot make it better known than it I already is that I strongly favor coloniza tion, and yet I wish to say there is an' objection urged against the colored persona remaining in the country which' is largely imaginary, if not sometimes , malicious. ,It is insisted that their presence would injure and displace white labor and white laborers. If there ever could be a proper time for mere en7v meats, that time surely . is not now. I.n l times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not wil lingly be responsible through time and eternity. Is it true, then, that colored people can displace any more white labor by being free than remaining slims ? If they stay in their old places, they lostle no white labores. If they leave their old places, they leave them open to white labors.— Logically, there is neither more nor less of it. Emancipation, even without de portation, would probably enhance-the wages 0' white labor, and very surely would not reduce them. Thus the cus tomary amount of labor would still have to be performed. The freed people would , surely not do more than their old propor tion of it, awl very propably for a time would do lass, leaving an increased part to white laborers, bringing their labor into greater demand, and consequently en hancing the wages of it. With deportation, even to a limited extent, enhancing wages to 'white labor is mathematically certain. Labor is like any other commodity in the market ; increase the demand for it, and you increase the price of it. Reduce the supply of black labor by colonizing 'the black laborers out of the country, and by precisely so much you ineiease the. demand for and wages of white labor. But it is dreaded that the freed people will swarm forth and cover the whole land. Are they not already in the land? Will liberation make them any more numerous? Equally distributed among the whites of the whole country, there would be but one colored to seven whites. Could the one in any way greatly 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 fi.om it.— The District of Columbia, and the States of Maryland and Delaware are all in this' condition. The District has more than One free colored person to nix ; and yet in its frequent petitions to Congress, I believe it has never presented the presence of free colored persons as one of ] its grievances: But why should 'Emancipation South send the freed people North t People of any color seldom run unless there be something to nu from. Heretofore, colored people to some extent have fled Noith from bondage, and now perhaps from both bondage and destituton • but if Gradual Emancipation or depo rtation', be adopted, they will have neither to floe from. Their old masters will give them wages, at least until new laborers can be procured and the freed men will gladly give their labor for the wages till new homes can be found for them in congenial dimes and with - people of their own blood and race. This proposition can be trusted to the mu tual interests involved, and in any event, can not the North decide for itself whether to re ceive them ? Again, as practice proves more than theory in any case, has there been any irruption of colored people northwiard be cause of the abolishment of Slavery in this District last Spring? What I have said of the proportion of free colored persons to the srliites in the District is from the Census of 1860, having no refit.- ence to persons called contrabands, nor to those made free by the act of Congress abol ishing Slavery here. The plan consisting of these articles is recommended, not but tha a restoration of the National authority woul be accepted "without its adoption, nor tin the was. nor proceedings under the Prod mation of September 22, 1862, will by atiq because of the recommendation of this pJ Its timely adoption, I doubt not, would ti _ . restoration, and thereby stay both.
