Gg-The Towa legislature have passed da law for the
removal of all free negroes who may hereafter set-
tle in that state. Those already there are allowed to
remain, but not to acquire ary additional real es-
, tate.
The illiberality and injustice of such legislation
as the above must be apparent to all. joes it
require mach depth of reasoning to show ‘he suici-
dal character of such policy. The great complaint
against free negroes is, that they are vagrant and
idle! and yet here we havea law. framed expressly
for the purpose of condemning them to idleness
.and vagrancy, The incentive to exertion is taken
“away, they cannot acquire real estate; they are not
“permitted to feel an interest in the State, but are
“made outcasts and aliens! Willit be a marvel if
the free negroes of Iowa become idle and vagrant,
(under the operations of such a law. But this act
“of oppression, as all such .acts do, will inevitably
»re-act upon the oppressors. No State was ever yet
‘at the pains to reara degraded class in society, but
‘what it succeeded very much to its cost.
