Obr people are well aware, that, owing to
the abstraction of the great manned of their
fellow citizens frotn the various branches of
labor, by reason of the War, the production
of the country has been lessened, or, at least,
haa not kept pace with the demat.d, or with
tha Meemiities of the public. By the same
«MMa—Hw war—the eootitty lias been ob
liged to incur enormous expenses, ar.d to
contract a gigantic debt, iuvolvingao almost
univanal taxation. Bo'h these causes—
ninMly tho lessening of the production of
the anuntry br the divergence of labor into
other and unproductive channels, and the
universality and extentof ourtavation, have
conspired to apprec iate the prioaa of every
necessary, every comfort, and every luxury.
Prices have advanced and nre sull advanc
ing, and the question Which arises, and
which ia of profound importance to all ®f us
is, whethor thte advancc of prices may not
be staved and possibly made to recede
We belie vi. it is in the people of thecourr
tiy to brinjj about this desirable result. W"
are convinced they can either cheek the ad
vance of prices, or, better still, cause them
to recede to nu approximation of the prices
in the cheap times before the War. How mav
this result be fleeted V We answer, by i ./•
body9iri,„j f,i» rntrgin of hit mind
n,(l
body to the ineremed Jet element of the n
mur*e» and product inn
of the country. If
they are fewer men to engage in this devel
opment, they must redouble their industry,
their inventive ingenuity, fhir ^v«trrnntij
efforts, their trained and systematic labor.
And if this effort is honestly ti"d earnestly
made, though one man mny fail to do all tw
men have done hitherto, he will, at least ac
cornphsh more than he ever has before, mid
will approximate closely to the task he un
dertakes.
^Qne mode of increasing the production of
tile country is by th'e exercise of more un
wearied
iuduttry.

Not only should every
man work more assiduously at his calling

ahould give, at least, another hour daily to

by this means he will earn more

Another mode is bjr the Pxefcfsc of a more
rigid economy. Men must content them
aelves with more frugal fare. They must

ing tlie welfare whi'h would have fallen up

fn the svrvirt".
Tiiis a lias pr- duc.-d less result thin
was anticipated, :u»d further provision i.s re
'juircd to render it efficacious. But my
present purpf se is to invite your considers
tion to the propriety of a radical modifica
tion jo the theory of the law.
Viewed merely as property, and therefore
as the subject of imprisonment, the service
or labor of the slave haa been frequently
claimed for short periods, in the construc
tion of defensive works. Tha slave, how
•ver. 'ors another relntion to the Slate,
J»at of a person. The law of las? February
contemplates the relation of the slave to his
master, und limits the impressment to a
certain term of service. But for the purpos
es ei»uh)"i ited in the act, instructing in the
manlier of encamping and parking trains i
needful, so that, even in this limited em
ployment, length of service adds greatly to
the vjdiift of the negro's labor. Tfaznrd is
also encouutered in ail the positions to
which negroes can be assigned for service
with the army, and the duties required of
them detur.nd loyuity and zeal.
In this aspect the relation of person pre
dominate-- so far as to render it doubtful
wlK-iiicv the private right of prop*, i ly can
eorsi-ten'ly and Ijentticially be continued,
and it would rein proper to acquire for ti e
pnhtic service the entire property in the la
bor of the Live, and to pay therefor due
ompn ation, rather than to impiess his
'abor for s*jort terms aad this the inoi'c
neciaily us the ''{feet of the present law
would vest this entire property in all cases
where the s-lave might be re-oaptuied after
c'nn K'ii-ation for his lo- s hud been paid n
ill" private owner. Whenever the entire
prop'-rty in the s-rvice ofa slave is thus uc
qairi by the (rovirnintnt, the question is
present'd, by what tenure he should be
held. Should hu be retained in servitude,
or should his emancipation h» held out to
him as a reward for faiihlu'. service, or
should it be grintcdat unco on the prumise
ofsiich service and if emancipated, wlmt
action should he taken tosccurc tor the freid
men the pennission of the Slate from which
he was drawn to reside within its limits af
ter the close of his public service. The per
mission would doubtless be more readily ac
corded as a reward tor past faithful set vice
and a double motive for zealous discharge
of duly would thus be oiie eti to those em
ployed by the government, their freedom,
and the gratification of the local attachment
which i.s si marked a characteristic of the
negro, and forms so powerful an incentive
to his action. Th- policy of ngiging to
liberate the negro on his discharge sifter sei
vice faithfully rendered, seems to me prefer
able to that of granting immediate manu
mission, or that of re'ainiiig hiin in servi
tude. If this policy should rtwnincnd it
self to the judgment Of '(digress, it is sug
gested that, in addiiionto the duties hereto
fore performed by the slave, he mi^ht be
ndvantageously tmpl"Ved as a pioneer and
mgineer laborer and in that event, that
the numher should bo augmented to forty
thousand.
Beyond this limit and these employments
it (iocs not seem to me desirable, under ex
isting circumstances, to go. A broa I moral
distinction exists between the use of slaves
as soldiers in the defense of our homes and
the incitement of the same persons toinsur
nction nysinst their masters. The one is
justifiable if necessary, the other is iniqui
tous and unworthy of a civilized people
and such is the .judgment of all writers on
public law as well as that expressed and in
sisted on by our enemies in all wars prior to
that now waged against us. By none have
the practices of which they aie now guilty,
been denounced with greater severity than
by themselves in the two wars with Great
Britain in the last and in the present centu
ry ar.d in the Declaration of Independence
of 17Tf'. when enumera ion was made of thn
wrongs which justified the revolt from (Jreat
Ikilaiu, tho cliiuax of atroeity was deemed
to be reached only when the English uion
arch was denounced as having "excited do
nic-vic insurrection among us."
The subject is to be viewed by us. there
fore, solely in the lipht of policy and our
social cc.,romy. When so regarded I must
dissent from the*' who advise a general
levy and arm!HIT of tne slaves for the duty
of soldiers. Tntil our white population
shiiil provo in'tiflident for the armies we
r» quire and can idlord to keep in the field,
to employ as n soldier the negro who has
me. fly qeen trained to l«i «r, and as a la
borer he the white man accoskmif 1'rom
his youth to the use of firc-arnut, would
scarcely deem wise or advantageous by
any. and this is the question now before
us. But phouhl the alternative ever be
presented of subjugation or of the cinploy
ment of the^lave as a soldier, then he our
deci ion. Whether our view embraces
w h-it would, in so cxti. inc case, he the sum
of entaih by the dominion of the enemy,
or be restricted sohiy to tho effect upon
the welfare and happiness of the negro pop
ulation themselves, the resulL would be tho
same. The appalling demoralization, suf
fering se-jsc and death, which have been
caused by partinlly substituting the inva
dois' system of policy, for the kind relation
previously subsisting between the master
and slave, have been a s'lflit^ent demonstra
tion that external interference with our in
stitution of domestic 8lavery is productive
of evil only.
If the subject involved no other consider
ation than the mere right of property, the
sacrifices heretofore made by" our people
have been such as to permit no doubt of
their readiness to surrender every posses
sion in order to si euro the independence.
But tho social and political question wbiqh
is exclusively under the coutiol of the eev
eral States, has a far wider and more endur
ing importance than that of pecuniary in
terest. In ita muuifold phnsis it embraces
he stability of republican institutions, rest
ing on tlie actual political equality of all its
cit aens, and liichldetf the Ailfilment of the
task which has been to happily begun—that
of Christianizing and Improving the condi
tion of the Africans who have by the will
of Providence, been placed in our charge.
