Ills Views en I hr Subject ofSIavcrrmid Plan
of Eiunnripaiion.
Netv Orleans, Feb. 17, 1849.
Dear Sir—Prior to my departure from home in
December last. In behalf of yourself and other
friends, you obtained from uio a promise to make
a public exposition of my views and opinions np
on a grave and important question which, it was
then anticipated would be ranch debated and con-
aidcred by the people of Keutncky, during this
year, in consequence of the approaching Conven
tion, summoned to amend their present Constitu
tion. I was not emjrely well when I left home,
and owing to that cause, and my confinement sev
eral week*, during ray sojourn in this city, from
the eflects of an nc. ideut which befei me, I have
been delayed in tbo fulfilment of tpy promise,
which I sow propose to exeente.
The question, to which I allude, is whether Afri
can Slavery, as it now exists in Keutucky, shall
be left to a perpetual or indefinite continuance or
some provision shall be made, in tbe new Constitu
tion, fur its gradual and ultimate extinction!
A few general observations will suffice mv pres
ent purpose, without entering ou tbe wlinle sub.-
jectof slavery, under all its bearings and In every'
sspect of it I am aware that there are respecta
ble persons who believe that slavery is a blessiug,
(bat the institutions ought to exist in every well
organized society, and that it is even favorable to
the preservation of liberty. Happily, the iinmber
who entertain these estrqvagapt opinions is not
very great and tbe time would be uselessly occu
pied in uu elaborate refutation or them. I woald
however, remark that if slavery he fraught with
these alleged benefits, the principle, on which it is
maintained, would require that, one portion of the
white race should be /educed to boudnge to serve
another portion of the same race, when black sub
jects', of slavery could uot be obtained ; and that
in 'Africa, where they may entertain as great a
preference for their color as we do for oars, they
would be justified in reducing the white race to
slavery, in order to secure the blessings which
that state is said to diffuse.

would provaeplirely too mpeb. It would prove
tbatsuy white nation, which had .made greater
advances in civilization, knowledge aqd wisdom
than another white nation, wonld nave a right to
reduce the latter to a state of bondage. Nay fur
ther, ir tbo principle-of subjugation founded upon
intellectual superiority bp true, and be applicable
to individuals t Aud then the wisest man in the
world wonld have a right to make slaves of all tfio
rest nf mankind!
If. iudeed, we possess Ibis Intellectual superior
ity, profoundly greatefnland thankful to HIM who
has bestowed it, wc ought to fulfil all tbe obliga
tions and duties wjhicb it imposes; and these
would require us noftn subjugate or dcql unjust
ly by our follow men who ur4 (psa blessed than wc
are, but 10 instruct, to improve and to enlighten
them.
A vest majority of tho people of the Uuited Sta
tes, in overy section of them, I believe, regret tbe
introduction of slavery into the colonics, under
the authority of our British ancestors, lament that
a aiugle slave treads our soil, deplore the necessity
of the continuance of slavery 111 auy of the Sta
tes, regard tbe institution as a great evil to both
races, aud would trjoice in tbe adoption of any
safe, just and practicable plan for tbe removal of
a'l slaves from amnugur. Hitherto no such.satisfac
tory plau has been prescuted Wbeu, ou the eva
sion of the formation of our present Constitution
of Kentucky, iu 1799. the question of tbe gradual
emancipation of slavery in that State was agitated
jlafrjguds had to enconatera great obstacle, in the
fact iiiut there then existed no established colony,
to which (bay could be transported, h'uw, by
the successful establishment of flourishing colo
nies on tbe Western coast of Africa, that difficulty
has b**n obviated. And I confess that, without
indulging in any undue feelings of su perdition, it
doe* sepm to me that it may have been among 1 be
dispensations of Frovidence to permit tiiewrongs,
tinder which Africa has suffered, to lie inflicted,
■bather children might be returned to their origi.
oal home civilized, imbued with the benign spirit
nf Christianity, aud prepared ultimately to redeem
th.et great Continent from barbarism aud idolatry.
Without undertaking to judge for any other Sta
te. It wo* iny opinion in 1799 that Kentucky was
in a condition to admit of the gradual emancipa
tion of her slaves; and how deeply, do I lament
that asvstem with that object, hod not been then
established ! If it had been, the State would uovv
the State with their descendants could never live
in peace, harmony aud equality with the residue
of the population. Tho color passions nnd preju
dices would forever prevent the two races living
together iu a state of cordial union. Social, morel
and politico!degradation would bs the inevitable
lot of tbe colored race. Even in the free States (I
use the terms free and slave States not in any sense
derogatory from one class, or implying any supe
riority in the other, but for the sake of brevity)
that is their present condition. In some of those
free States the penal legislation against the people
of color is quite as severe, if not harsher than it
is in some of tho slave States. As uo where in»the
United States are amalgamation and equality be
tween the two races possible, it is belter that
there should be a separation, and that tbe African
descendants should be returned to the native land
of their fathers.
It will have been seen that the plan I have sug
gested proposes the animal transportation of all
barn after a specified day, upon their arrival at tho
prescribed age, to the Colopy which may be se
lected for their destination, uud this process of
transportation is to be continued, uutil the separa
tion of tho two races ia completed. If the eman
cipated slaves wero to remain iu Kentucky until
they attained the ago of twenty-eight, it wonld be
about thirty-four years before the first annual trans
portation began,if tho system commenced in 1835,
and about thirty-nine years if its operaliau began
iu 18G0.
What the number thus to be anuuslly transpor
ted would be, canuot be precisely nscertoined. I
observe it stated by tbo auditor that tbo increase
of slaves in Keutncky last year wasbetweeu three
aud four thousand. But, aa that statement was
made upon a comparison of the aggregate number
of all ifro slaves in lljo State, without regard to
births, it dors uot.I presume, exhibit trqly the nat
ural increase, which was probzbiy larger. Tbe
aggregate was effected by the introduction and
still more by tho exportation of slaves. I suppose
that there would not be less probably more, than
five thousand to be transported the first year of
the operation of the system; but,after it was iu
progress some years, there would be a constant
ditniDuntion of the number.
Would it be practicable annually to transport
five thousand persona from Kentucky! There
cannot be a doubt »r it, or even a much larger
number. We receive from Europe annually emi
grants to au amount exceeding two hundred and
fifty thousand, at a cost for the passage of about
ten dollars per head, end they embark at Euro-
pcau ports more distant from tbo Uuited States
than tbe Western coast of Africa. It js t|-qe tjiut
the commercial marine, employed between Euro
pe and the Uuited States affords facilities, iu the
transportation of emigrauts at that low rate,
which that engaged iu the commerce between
Liberia and tbieconntry does not now supply; but
that commerce i» increasing, sod by the tiqje tbe
proposed system, if oil ipted, would go iqto opera
tion. it will have greatly augmented.
If there weVe a certainty of tho annual traoporr
tation of not leas than five thousand persons to Af
rica, it would presto q derqaml for transports, nad
the spirit of po(ppetition would, l have uo doubt,
greatly diminish tbe'prescut cost of tho passage.—
That cost lias been stilted, upon good authority, tu
be at present fifty dollars per head, including the
passage, aud aix mouths outfit after tbe arrival of
the emigniut ia Africa Whatever may be the cost,
and whatever the number to be transported, the
land to bo raised Ly the bire of the liberated slave,
for a period not exceeding three years, will be
amply sufficient. The annual hire, on the average,
may lie estimated at fifty dollars, or one huudred
and fifty for the whole term.
Colonization will be attended with tbe painful
effect of the separation ol the colonists from their
oiircut*, and iu some instances from their children;
tut from the latter it will be ouly temporary, as
they will follow aud be again re-UDited. This se
paratum from their parents will not be until after
they have attained a mature age, uor greater thau
voluntarily takes place with emigrant*- fropj Eu
rope, who leave their parents behind. It will be
for less distressing tbau wbat frequently occurs in
tlje state of slavery, and willbe attended with the
animating encouragement, that the colonists are
transferred from a land of buudage aud degrade-
tiou for them, to a land of Jiberty und equality.
1 Ami 3d. The expense of traujporting tihe libgr
ated slave tu the colony, and of maintaining him
there six months, I think, ought to be provided
for bv a fund derived from bis labor, in the man
ner already indicated. He is tbe party most ben-
efitted by emancipation. It would not be right
to subject the non-slaveholder tu auy part of that
expense; and the slave-holder will bavo made suffi
cient sacrifices, without being exclusively bur-
tbeued with taxes tu raise that fund. The eman
cipated slaves could be hired uut for tbe time pro

i gradual | _ _ ,
i bestow in iuoperatioo, cautious and gradual
: r5 to occasion no couvnlsion ; norrtny rash or sud
den disturbance in the existing habits of society.
SJ. Thai, at an iuditpcusible condition, the etnan-
1 cipated slave* sho ilu be removed from tbo State
to some colony. Aud thirdly, that the expenses nf
their triiiaportattun to such colony, including an
outfit for si.: nmitba after their arrival at it, should
jje defrayed by a fuud to be raised from tbo labor
of each freed slave. , .
Nothing could be more uuwise than tfic imme
diate liberation of all the slaves iu Uio Stole com
prehending both sexes ?od sli ages, from that of
tender infanev to extreme old age. It would lead
to the most frightful and ratal cuuscqucuces. Any
great change in the condition of society should be
marked bv extreme csro and circunispection.-r-
Tbe introduction of slaves into tho colouies.was
au operation of many years duration; and the
work of their removal from tbe United States can
ouly be effected after the lapse of a great length
of time.
I ih nk that * period should be fixed when all
born after it should be free at a specified age, all
born before it iemniuitig slaves forlifo. That pe
riod, I would suggest, should be 1855 or oven
18C0; for ou this and other arrangements of the
system, if adopted, I iucline to a liberal margin,
so us to obviate as man vobjections, and to usiteai
mauy opinions** passive. Whether tlio commen
cement of tjie operalipu of the system be a little
earlier or latter, it is not so important as.that n
day should bo permanently fixed, from which we
could look forward, with confidence, to .the final
termination of slavery within the limits of the
Commonwealth.
Whatever may bo the day fixed, whether 1855
.or 18G0 or auy other day, all horn after it. I suggest
should tie free at the age of twenty-five, but be
liable afterwards to be hired out, under the au
thority of thA State, for a term not exceeding
three years, in drder to raise a sum sufficient to
pay tho exjiensos of their tnuisportotiou to the
Coluuy aud to provido them au outfit for six
mouths alter their arrival there.
If the descendants of tkoso, who were themsel
ves to be free at tlje age of twenty-five, were also
to l>p cousidered as slaves until thay attained tbo
same age, and thus rule were continued indefinitely
os to time, it is mauifest that slavery, would be
perpetuated Au* tc *d of being terminated. . To
gyard against this consequence, provision might
be made that the off spring <4 those, who were to
ba free at twenty-five, should be free from thoir
birtb, but upon tbe condition that they should be
uppreoticod nntil they were twenty-one, aud bo
erned State*.
Atuuuz other considerations which unite iu re
commending to the State of Keutucky a system
for the. gradual abolition of slavery is that arising
out of ber exposed coudition, ufiordiag great facil
ities to the escape of her slaves into the Tree States
and into Canada. She does not enjoy the security
which some of the slave B^tes Lave, by beiug cov
ered Jo 4ep'4‘ by tv> or three stove Sffites inter
vening between them and free States. She has a
greater length of bonier on free States lip)n any
utperstoye State jn tlie Union. That border is t bo
Ohio river, extending from the mouth of the Big
Sandusky to the mouth of the Ohio, a distance of
near six huudred miles, separating her from the si*
ready powerful and growing States of Ohio, Indi
ana and Illinois.
Vast numbers nf stoves have (led from most of
tbe counties in Kentucky from tbe mouth of the
Big Sandy to the mouth of the Miami, aud the evil
bus increased aud is increasing. Attempts to re
cover the fugitives lead them to tbe must painful
aud irritating collisions. Hitherto countenance
and assistance to thb fugitives have bceu chiefly af
forded by persons in tbe State of Ohio; but it is
to be apprehended, from tbe progressiyo opposi
tion to slavery ilial. jn process of lime, similar fa
cilities to tjhe escape of slaves, will be fouud in the
States of liidianu aud Illinois. By means of rail
roads, Canada can be reached from Cincinnati in
a little mure than tweuty-four hour*.
Iu the oveut ef a civil war brouking out, or jn
the more direful .event of p dissolution uf the
Uaiou, ia consequence of the existence uf slavery,
Keutucky would become tbo theatre and bear tho
brunt ot tlie war. She would doubllesa defend
herself with ber known vulcr and gallantry; tut
the superiority uf the numbers by which she would
be opposed would lay waste an.l devastate her
lair fields. ' Her sister plave States would Hy to
her succor; but, oven if they should be successful
in tbe uucqual conflict, sbo uever could obktin
any iudemuity for the iuerltyhle Ravages of (he
war.
It may bp urged that wc ought uot, by the grad
ual abolition ot slavery, to separate mireBlvesfrom
the other slave states, but continue to sLcro with
them in all their future fortunes. The power of
each ffovo Stato, witbio its limits, over the insti
tution of |1avery, is absolute, supreme and exclu
sive—exclusive of that Congress or that of auy oth-
ur State. The guverumeut of each slave State is
bouud, by tbe highest aud most solemu obligations
to dispose of the questiou of slavery, so as best
to promote the peace, Iiappiue.-s, aud prosperity of
sire afterwards liable to be hired W t, a period not [ Oto people of the Stole. Kentucky being eaten

its commencement or too rapid iu its operation.—
It will be more likely to meet with contrary re
proaches. If adopted, it is to begin thirty-four or
thirty-nine years from the time of its adoption, as
tho one period or the otbej shall bo selectel for
jra commencement. How long a time it will toko
to remove all tbe colored race from tbo State, by
the annual transportation of each year’a natural in
crease, canuot be exactly ascertained. After the
system had been in operation aomo years, I think
it probable, from the manifest blessings that would
flow from it, from tbe diminished value of slave
labor, nnd from tho humanity aud benevolence of
private individuals prompting a liberation of their
slaves and their transportation, a general disposi
tion would exist to accelerate aud complete tbo
work of colonization.
That tbe system will bo attouded with some
sacrifices on tbo part of slaveholders, which aro to
be regretted; need not be denied. What great and
beneficial enterprise was ever accomplished with
out risk ami sacrifice! But tbeso sacrifices are
distaut, contingent and inconsiderable. Assuming
the year 1S6Q for the commencement of tho sys
tem, all slaves born prior to that time would re
main such duriug Jbe'ir lives, aiul the personal loss
of the slaveholder would be only the difference iu
value of a female slave whose offspring, if she bad
any, born after the fust day of January, i860,
should be free at the age of twenty-five, or should
be stores fur life.
In tbe meantime, if the right to remove or sell
tbo stove out of tho State, should be exercised,
that trifling loss would uot be incurred. The
slaveholder, after tbe commencement of tbe sys
tem, would lose the'difference ill vclue between
slaves for life, and-slaves uutil tbe age of twenty-
five. He might also incur some inconsiderable
expense iu rearing, from their birth, tbe issub of
those who wero to be free at twenty-five, until
they were old enough to be apprenticed out; but
ns it is probable that they would be must general
ly bouud to him, bo would receive some indem
nity from their services; until they attoiued their
majority.
M«{ of the evils, losses and misfortunes of hu
man life have some compensation or alleviation.
Tho slaveholder is generally a laud-holder, und I
am persuaded that Ije would find, iu tlie augment
ed value of his laud, some, if uot full indemnity for
losses arising to him from emancipation nnd colon
ization. He would .also liberally share in tbe gen
eral benefits, accruing to the whole State, from the
extinction of slavery. These have been so often
aud so fully stated, that I will not. uor is it neces
sary to dwell upon t|iem exclusively. They may
be summed np in a few words. Wc shall remove
from among us the contaminating influences of a
servile and degraded 'race of different color, we
shall enjoy the proud and conscious satisfaction of
placing that race where they can enjoy tbe great
blessings qf liberty, npd cjvil, political and social
equality; we'shall acquire the advantage of the
diligence, tbe fidelity and the constancy of free la
bor, instead of the cqrejessuess, the infidelity and
toe unsteadiness ot slave labor; we sbull elevate
tlie character of white labor, aud elevate the so
cial condition of the white laborer; augment the
value of our jands; improve tl,e agriculture of the
State, attract capital from abroad to all tbe pur
suits of commerce, manufactures and agriculture;
redressed, as far and ns fust as we prudently could,
any wrongs which'the descendants of Africa hav’e
antlered at oar hands, and we shonhl demonstrate
the sincerity with which we pay indiscriminate ho
mage to tho great cause of the liberty of the hu«
niau race.
Keutucky enjoys high respect and honorable con
sideration throughout the Union and throughout
tbo civilized world; tout, in my humble opinion, uo
title which she has to tlie esteem aud admiration of
mankind, uo deeds of her former glory, would
equal, iu greatness and grandeur, foot of being the
pioneer State in removing from her soil every
trace of human slavery, and in establishing the de
scendants of Africa, within her jurisdiction, iu the
native land of Uietr forefathers.
I have thus executed tlie promise I made, allu
ded to io the commencement of this letter, and I
hope that I bavo done it calmly, free from intem
perance, and. so as to-wound the sensibilities of
uoiie. I sincerely hope that the question may be
considered and decided, without tbe iuHneuce of
party or passion. I should be most happy to have
foe good fortune or coinciding in opinion with a
majority of the people of Kentucky; but, if there
bo a majority' opposed to ait schemes of gradual
emancipation, however much I may regret it,
my duty will be to bow iu submission to their
will.
II it be perfectly certain and mauifest that such
a majority exists, I should, think it better not to
agitate the question at all, since that, ip that pase,
it would be useless, and might exercise a pernjpi-
out collateral infipeuce upon foe fair consideration
qf other amendments, which may be proposed to
OUT Constitution. If there be a majority of foe
people of Kentucky at font time, ndverse to touch
ing the institution of Slavery, os it now .exists, we,
who had thought and wished otherwise, can only
indulge tbe hope that, at some future time, uuder
better auspices, and with the bless’ngs of Provi
dcncc, the cause, which we have so much at heart,
may fceqttenfjcd with better success.
Iu any event, I shall have the satisfaction of hav
ing performed a .doty to the State, to the subject,
oud to myself by ptaciug my sentiments perma
nently upon record.

Statistics oflluman Life.
The distinguished surgeon, Alexander H: Stev
t eus, of New York city, recently delivered an ad
dress before, the New York State .Medical Society,-
in vindication of his profofsion, iu which he sub
mitted the following interesting statistics. He
stated thatthroaghout the civilized world thedur-
otion of butnnu life has increased, and is steadily
increasing with the advancement and diffusion of
medical science:
“In the city ol Geneva, iu tho sixteenth centu
ry, one individual in twenty-five died annually.—
For the eightoeulb ceutury, oue iu tliirty-fonr ; at
the present time, one in forty-six. With us the
mortality is greater. I estimate it at one iu forty,
the proportion of childhood being tofger, nnj
childhood being the period of the greatest mortali
ty. In the British, navy, among adults, uor.e of
whom are very aged, the mortality is ouly ubout
ono in one hundred. Seventy years ago tbo mor
tality in the British navy was one in every ten.—
Iu 1808, one iu thirty, 1836, thirteen eight-ten.
amoug oue thousand j <i diminution tp less than a
seventh of thereto in 1770. In the American ur-
iay, with a corps of medical officers uot excelled
by that of any other cr untry, the mortality is little
over one in three hundred per annum. Iu London
tho mortality iu the middle of the last century
was ono in thirty-two. Iu tbo year 1838, the mor
tality was oue in .thirty-six. I qu ite from iho an
nual report of the Registrar Gcueral. Within the
last twenty years the mortality of Russia has been
oue in twenty.-sovcu; Prussia oue in lliirty.six;
j'l apce, one in thirty-nine seven; Holland, one iu
thirty-nine; Belgium, one in forty-thfeo one; Eng
land, one iu fifty- ** *
two; Greece,
forty-twp three,. - r
York, one in twenty-seven eighty-three. The cm
igrants have made onr mortality greater thau that
of our sister cities; in other respects it baa dimin
ished with tlie advance of medical science. These
statistics? yfotepenfs plight jbe multiplied at greut
length, but enough baye bsen given to show con
clusively tho prodigious extent to which human
life has been lengthened, with the advance and
dilTcaiou of medical science, beyond its duration
iu the less enlightened countries , of Europe.”
Woman and Marriage—nr washinctus ijtvisa.
I have speculated a great deal upon matrimony.
I have seen vonngand beautiful women, the prido
of tlie gay circles, married—as the world soya—
well I Some have moved into rosily houses, and,
their friends have all come & looked it their splen
did arrangements for happiness, and they liavo
gnpp away and committed them' to their sun
ny- hopes, cheerfully and' without four. It is n.-ririr-
al to be sanguine for tbe young, mul ot such times
I am carried away by similar foeling- 1 have tqgot
unobserved into a corner, and watch the bride m
her white attire, and will, ber smiling fare at:d ber
soft eyes moving before'me iu their prido of life,
weave a waking dream of her future happiness,
ami persuade myself that it will be truo. I think
how they will sit on the luxurious sofa as the twi
light falls, and build guy hopes, nnd murmur iu
low tones the now unforhidden tenderness, and
enjoy the allowed kiss, and the beautiful endear
ments of weded life will make ever their parting
joyous, and bow gladly they will come back from
the crowd, and the empty mirth of the gay, to each
other’s quiet company. I, picture to myself that
young creature, who blushes even now at his hes
itating carcases, listening eagerly for his frwuiaps
as tlie night steals on, ami wishing that lie would’
come home; and when he enters nt lust, oud with,
an nffection as undying as his pulse, folds her to.
ids bosom, I can feel tbo very tide that goes flow-,
ing through his heart, and gaze with him ou bur
graceful form as she moves ubout him for foe farad,
offices of attention, smoothing all Us unquiet cures,
anil making bin] forget even himself, in her young,
and unshadovviug beauty. - • •
I go forward years, and see her luxurennt. h»ir ;
put soberly awey from her brow, mid her girlish
graces ripened into dignity, nnd bright loveliness
chastened into affection. Her husband looksunkcr..
with a proud eye, apd shows ber the same ferveut
love, aqd the delicate attentions \v hich first won
her, and fair children are grown up about them,
and they go ou full of honor nnd.untrqubled years,
nnd are remembered when they die !■• I, say 1 love
to dream thus when I go to give foe young brido
joy. It is the natural tendency aud feeling’ touch
ed by loveliness, that fears nothing for itselfif f-
ever yield to feelings, it is because the light of the
picture is chauged. 1- nm not fond of dwelling
upon such changes, and will not miuntely now. I
allude to it only because I trust that my simple
page will be read by some of tbe young anil beau
tiful beings who move daily serosa my path, and
I would whisper to them, as tftey glide by jsyi
ou sly aud, confidently, foo secret, of au unclouded,
future.
The picture T have drawn above is not peculiar-.
It is colored, like tho fancies of foe brido, and
mauy, oh! many au hour will she sit, with tho
rich jewels lyiug loose in her fiugers, aud dream
such dreams as these. Site believes them top—"
and she goes ou for a while limtofiqiyejL The
evening is too long while tbpv tol|t oli plqn* for
happiness, and tbe quiet meal is slill pleasiaj
with delightful novelty pf mutual reliunco and at
tention. There comet soon, however, a time
when personal topics become bale and vycarisomo,
aud slight attentions will not alone keep up the so
cial excitement. There are intervals of silence,
and detected symptoms of weariness, aud the hus
band first, iu his manhood, breaks in upon foe
hours they wero to spend together. I canuot fol
low it circumstantially. There como along hours
of unhappy restlessness, and terrible misgivings
of each other’s worth and affection, till by and by,
they can conceal their uneasiness no longer, and
go out separately to seek rcliet; oud lean upon fop
hollow World for support, which ono who. was
their lover aud friend could uot give them!
Heed this, yo who are winning by jour inno
cent beauty the affections of higbtmudcd aud
ibiukivg beings! Remember .that he will give up.
tbe fo'ofoer of his heart, with whom he has had
over a fellowship of niiud—Ihe society of his co
temporary runners iu the race of fame, who liavo
held with him a stern corupauiourbip—and fre
quently in his passionate love, he will break away
from tbe arena of his burning ambition, to como
aud listen to .the voice of the charmer. It will be
wilder him st first, but it will ;jot long; and then
think you that au idle banishment will chain the.
mind that has been used ioryears to an equal com
munion? Think yon he will give up. for u weak;
dalliance, fo.e animating themes of men, and tho
search into mysteries of knowledge! Old uo, la
dy! believe me—no! Trust not your influence, to
such light fetters! Credit not the old-fashioned
absuidity that woman's is a secondary lot—minis
tering to the uec-ssities of her lord aud Diatlcrl-e,
It is a higher destiny I would award yon. If youf.
