Lie has had seventy years to cleanse himself and his race from the lep- rosy of slavery, yet what is his condition to-day V He is lord of himself, but he finds it "a heritage of woe. '' After seventy years of probation among themselves, the Northern States, acting upon the same principles of self-protection which had marked our policy, declare him unfit to enjoy the rights and perform the duties of citizenship. Denied social equality by an irreversable law of nature, and political rights by mun...icipal law, incapable of maintaining an unequal struggle with a superior race, the melancholy history of his career of freedom is here most usually found recorded in criminal courts, jails, poor houses, and penitentiaries. The authentic statistics of crime and poverty show an amount of misery and crime among the free blacks out of all propor- tion to their numbers, when compared to any class of the white race. This fact has had itself recognised in the most decisive manner throughout the Northern States.
