I Tho Southern Negroes and the South
j ern Whites.?Things to ba done for
the Protection of Both.
j Tho white inhabitants of the South
? are our fellow-countrymen as . well as
! the negroes; ami, on the winde, wo
have as much reason to feel proud of
! them tis of the blacks. Their valor,
i enerby, pride, constancy and public
I spirit ?o nu discrudii to tho American
i name.
j In dealing with the negro quest iou.
j which ts tho great question of the
time.it is fair to consider thc iuteri sts
i of both race-?. Indeed, th? interests
; of the two. rightfully viewed, are iu
I separable. W hatever tends to the
j fcccurity^and prosperity of o.io tends
! equally to the security and prosperity
J of tho other. It is thc duty of tho
i Government to regard their interests
j not as conflicting but identical.. The
i Southern whites have l een ?lavehold
j ers; hut they, acquiesce in tho fact that
j they can be slaveholders no Ioug^r.
and with regard to the guilt of past
slavery, we of the North are probably
just as guilty as they. At all events,
j this was the opinion of the late Presi
. dent Lincoln. In his message to Con?
gress, iii December, 1302, Mr. Lincoln
j declared: aLl ? noue the le>s true for
hav. r<r been often said, that the peopla
of the South are not nnrd responsible
for the introduction of this property
than the people of the North; and
when it is remembered how unhesita?
tingly wo all use cotton and sugar,
and sharo the profits of dealing in
them, it may-not bo quite salo to say
that tito South has been more respon?
sible than the North for its continu?
ance."
We do not draw :I?e samo inference
from this viow of tho subject, which
wag drawn by president Lincoln; for
we realize that, since 1862, the couti
try has passsed into a new epoch.
Mr. Lincoln's conclusion was: "If,
then, for a common object, this pro?
perty is to be saciiliced, is it Dot just
that it be doue at a common charge?"
Tho two thousand millions since spent
had much better been expended in
thjs wa)' than in fratricidal war. But
the South willed otherwise, and has
lost both her slaves and the proffered
compensation.
But still, there is an equity fairly
resulting from the view of Mr. Lin
coin's, which ought not to be wholly
lost jj) dealing with this great social
and industrial revolution. While un
compensated emancipation must be
insisied on> as a cons?quence of the
protracted resistance of the South, it
is our clear duty, in al' other'things,
to consult the interest of both races,
and seek their joint prosperity. There
ia no justice in leaving decrepit ?dd
ago and helpless infancy to starve; nor.
on the other hand, is there justice in
j requiring the Southern land holders t.
I support them when the working
j negroes havo run away? Wo ow;
i kindness and protection to the oman
j cipated because they arc free by oi
i act; plunged hy us into miseries thej
j could not provide against. But tb<
I Federal Government cannot snppor
them, nor can it, without the grossest
violation of justice, require the South?
ern whites to do it. The whole sub
ject of the relations of poverty to !
property in the South, should be at j
once regulated by rules having the j
force and permanence of laws. j
lt is perhaps easier to say what
ought to i c done than to point out the j
precise way of doing it. If MIK milt |
tary authorities would come tv) a corn- j
mon understanding with leading citi-j
Zens in each Stale, in devising a system j
of rules so fair, equitable, and suited j
lo tho circumstances, that the reeon- j
structed State Governments would be j
likely to adopt them, it would bo a ;
great advantage to bot ii races. Among
the things requiring immediate atten- !
; tion throughout :he South are:
: 1. A System of IVegro Apprentice- \
\ ship.-Tile mot! or of minor children !
is of coarse k;i >wn, and probably is. '
j in most cases, found on the same pian j
: tntiori with them, although instances j
I of separation ai o 'numerous. The j
! paternity is moro doubtful. In cases I
j where both parents are known, and |
j able-bodied, there ought to be regula- j
i tiona making their supper1; of their j
I offspring compulsory. But lhere will j
1 be lens o' thousands of cases, al! iver :
; the South, where, .'rom uncertain pa- :
ternity. inability ut find work, vagran- !
: cy, idleness, or vic?, this will ni l be j
! done, lit-neo ihe "'eat magnitude of;
j the question fe o iv minors are to be,'
i provided for rrvi brought up. There !
1 ought to bc \!-s'eJ i:i local public
j officers authoritv t<> bind ihem out tili
I they become of ag ?.?. lt is to be pro
j sumed that verv young children will,
'? by the time they ar? I'v,..,;0np, earn
I enough !o pay ?or 'heir bringing u\>.
'anda rudimentary ? luca;io--. Minor.- |
i in their teens, who are indentured to j
do farm work, otitjiit io hive a little 1
ou int on' corn tag ?.? ngv, mechanics' j
would bo suffieientiy compensated by j
the knowledge of r; good trade, lt is j
clear that one ?.d the moat urgent
needs of the Soul!) is authority to ;
m-ake permanent equitable arrange? j
meuts for the support and education of
nv^ro children au-1 youth. But no
children should ba bound as appren- j
tices without th? consent of their j
parents, uni.-ss-tlx; parents fail to sup- j
port them. The S nth also needs: j
2. Equitable Regulations for thc j
Support of the Poor. - Besides minors,
there will be host of helpless colored j
people needing the protection of the f
community. Tho sick, infirm and j
aged, must not? be abandoned; and
there is no justice in leaving them to ;
tho mero charity of thc white families i
in which th-.'/form-riv lived. Over-!
beers of the poor b ving tue care of i
this class need to be intrusted with a '
large discieii Many wll be capa- i
ble of partially earning their living, |
whether they shall be .onion ] with
planters who will take their .s.o-vicen j
in part pay for their subsistence, or be j
maintained in workhouses and other:
institutions, those having the supervi- j
sion of them will, in either case, have
a wide field Cir the exercise or vigi?
lance, judgment and humanity. An?
other watit of t!je. South is:
3. Proper Regulations Against
Vagrancy. - in carrying out any sys?
tem for rile support of the poor, it is
just that eaelj locality shall bear its
proportion, and no more thnn its pro
portion,-of ibo binden, lhere should
be reu stein for ascertaining the donn?
ed of the negroes, and. on a change of j
domicil, a resilience of a stated time !
should be requisite to enable them to j
obtain parish relief. It is (lear that j
regulations of home kind ought to be j
adopted tor preventing particular !
localities being burdened with swarms
of vagrants who might flock chere I
from other places, e;'en if such regti j
lations should . pirate ns a restraint on
negro lo -emotion.
The necessity aa 1 urgency of what !
we have herc insisted on is so obvious I
as to admit, cf r.o dispute; hut there
???as-yci.no evidence that thc Gov* '
eminent has bestowed on the matter
any* attention. There is indeed no
possibility of useful action without the
concurrence of local opinion; and in
the progress of this experiment the
Jboderal power will learn bow utterly
inadequate it is to govern the country i
without the assistance of thc local au- |
thorities. The present strong tenccucv ?
toward centralization will receive ?ts \
strongest check in tho demonstrated i
incompetency of the Federal Govern?
ment to manage ?. ct! affairs.
