JOHN DAILHACIIE. January 2, 183'i sr REPORT OP THE COMMITTEE ON TVie Colored Population of Ohio. Mr Worthinoton. from the select com mittee on the Colored Popu'.aticu of Ohio, mado tho following REPORT : The select committee to whom was refer red so much of the Governor's Message, as relates to the Colorod Population of Ulno, and sundry memorials on the same subject, Beg leave lo Report: That, after a careful investigation of the matter referred to them, they view the pro-sent situation and future prapei of Ohio, in regard to this class of peopla-.an one of peculiar and painful interest, whether as relating to tho moral character or political prosperity ol her citizens. in a treo community like ours, where the whole force of Government is derived from the moral strength and intelligence of her citizens, the motives for the enactment of laws arc, and ought to be, as broadly exposed to public view as the laws them selves; and matters of public iiiiorcat should bo canvassed with the utmost freedom of investigation : nothing should be concealed, nothing exaggerated. It ism this spirit that the committee would examine the important subj 'ct bctora them. the existence in any community ol a pcopio lorminir a distinct nnd degraded canto, who aro forever excluded hy the fiat of society and the laws of the land, from all hopes of eounlity in social intercourse and political privileges, must, trom tho na-turo of thinzs, bo fraught with unmixed evil. Even now. when this people constitute less than one hundredth part ol our population, tho evils arising from their residence amongst us are seriously felt, and especially wnore thoy arn congregated in considerable numbers in tho larger towns. 1 Jiv thn exclusion of a larrre amount ol uie labor ot wlute men, wnunviii not ne-grado themselves in society by adopting the employments, and coining into competition with blacks : Hy the demoralization of those white citizens who do, by associating with, and adopting the ordinary avocations of blacks, lose that standintr and consideration in so ciety, which is one of the strongest safe guards ogainst vicious conduct: iv Iho habits of mendicity and petty pil fering, which are, and must of necessity bo prevalent, among a pcoplo isolated in society, and deprived of tho highest mo-lives to honest industrv; and which, besides imposing on community tho hurdjn of an idle population, fill our jails with criminals .r l - i i i ; . ui uie most uopeicss ucscnpuuu; And lnst'y. bv tho injurious eu;ct upon our youth, of a residence among us hy a mntion is repudiated at once by the stront" and unconquerable feeling of the society in which wo live, ami is also rendered impracticable by the situation of the enslaved Africans in a large portion of this republic. Whether this Iccling bo right or wrong, reasonable or unreasonable, it is not the province of this committee to inquire-That is a question for tho ubstract philosopher and metaphysician. 1'or the purposes of legislation, it is sufficient to kuow, that tho blacks in Ohio must always oxist as a separate and de graded race i that when tiro Leonard shall chungc his spots und tho Ethiopian his skin, then, but not Hill then, may wo expect that nicucscciiuantsol Alncans will boudiniUcd into society, on terms of social and political equality. Any legislation aimin at this result, could therefore bo productive of no bcm-lit to tho blacks now within the IStnte, am wouiu icau to tno mojt ruinous o:um quonces, by inviting within our borders depraved and dangerous population. Tho duty of tho committed then is con fined to what is prattieaUc in legislation ami conducive to the general welfuro ot th community and all that they beliovo-cai bo beneficially dono at present, is tho pre. venlion of a further iuflux of the black population of other States. The lnwof Jiiuuary 5, 1894, and tho law amendatory thereto of January 25, 1807, havo in practice proved almost entirely inefficient; but their continuauco on tbo statute book proves that the succcoilini; Legislntiirca of Ohio, havo considered the immigration of blacks us a groat evil, and havo sought to remedy that evil. At tho time tho first of those laws was passed, tho wholo black population of Ohio iliu not exceed 800 individuals; which at the most rapid rate of increase, would make the number of blacks iu Ohio in 1S30, less than 1!,0U0, 'I ho actual returns of the con, stis of that year, ruako the number 9,59'J. It is assumed by the committee as a noto rious fuct, that not one-tenth of that number has ever complied with the provisions ol tho statutes above referred to, which only require such emigrants to procure and record a certificate of freedom, and to give uona una security m the sum of goOO for tiicir good conduct, and that thoy will not become n charge upon the township; conditions absolutely necessary from tho nature of our relations with our sister States, and which can bo complied with by every ono who is lit to become a member of this com munity. In a (leluinco then of those statute?, have moro than throe-fourths of tbo black popu lation of Ohio intruded themselves into her borders ; and should they now be considered as hnving a right of ncttlenient, it must bu a right acquired by a violation of her laws. They can havo no such right; and it is perfectly competent for this State to remove ilirin iroin her limits ut any time she mav A proper, taKmg rare not to violate thu from the faco of the earth all that ho holds most dear! And under tho influence of those feelings, can any thing bo expected but tho most sturn and arbitrary measures for the control of tho I'reo blacks, who are not subicct to domestic discipline, nor vet tinuor mo lnnueneo oi tnoee kindly toolings which, even in tho most unnatural state oi society, grow up among members of the same family. Sir, such measures mimt and will he adopted toward tho free blacks. Their situation must, in the present state of things in Virginia, be soon rendered griuvoua be yond human onduranco. And hero I would disclaim any impnta-ions upon the citizens of that ancient and most rosnectablo (Jommonwealih. Thorn docs not exist under the canopy of Heaven be greatly increased by emigration, unless tiiiiuijr iiiuutiiiivs an- luhijn m iruicill IL. r I will now proceed lo consider tho existing laws on this subject, whit was their interlion, and whore it is proposed to remedy their deficiencios. And hero I would remark, that theac suggestions aro only mado to ascertain tho sentiment of tiio ,1 louse, and can be so modified n:i to remedy thn evil in tho manner that may ho moit approved.'J'lio first of these law's, (passed January ' 5, 1H04,) is directed principally against tho immigration of runaway slaves frum other States; and to this law tho committee pro- pose no other uiiicmliiient than to ina!:o it a penal offence for anv ferryman r,v other ner- son to land a runaway slave in tho State. Happily fiir us, we have a watery wall, a a moro honorable and Iiigh-niindod race of i ,ar2 al'd noble rivor, on all that part of men, or men moro disposed, lo administer! nur territory bordering upon f.'avchcldincr justice tempered with mitfy. iiut tho J '"'Ifi-", Vt e hive a right, it ie cur iJ-'.ty, V.t curse J shivery, entailed by a fureign go- avail ral.'ielves of this barrier, to protect vornment upon tho Colony, of Virginia, I "llr ei'-'tiis and preserve tlia o!;"io;.s of clingd, like the poisoned robo of Kegsus, to J amity with those States of our Ujpublio the great and independent State of Viri- n'l'ero slavery oxists; relations which musi nia, and palsies her nohlo energies.

The protection, thercforo, of her citizens. involves a sacrifice of that part of her population which is dangerous to, tho well being of the remainder She may not nay to them, "Depart frcm tuo bordors of the Stato:" but I ogain Mpoat that measures must and will be taken, which will expel a largo portion oi mom as clloctuajly as a do sitlvo law. In this state of facts, what is the situa. tion of Ohio! Wo havo a frontier of two hundred miles on V irginia, nearly thu same on Kentucky, and Maryland is noor enough. should any explosion lako placo, to pour her myriads of froo blacks upon us. Unless omctcnt protectivo measures nro taken, our ton ttiousand treo blacks may readily be trebled may be increased tenfuld in a few months; and that, too, by an accession of the most desperate and dangerouscharacter. In vain will the fathers of this State have said in our Constitution, that slavery shall not exist in (Who, it wo aro to have intrii mulattocs, was passed on tho Ujth January, 1S07, and was intended to prevent tho immigration of all those of bod character, or who wcro likely to become a charge upon tho community; requiring "that no .icgro or mulatto persons shall ho permitted tr migrate into, and settle within this State, unless such persons shall give bond, with sufficient security, in tho sum of $500," fcc. conditioned for the good behaviour of such persons, and that thoy shall not become a township charge. And now, sir, looking at tho actual condition of these people in other .States, and considering also tho fact that a largo portion of tho liberated slaves aro those who'se labor has ceased, in bo profitable, this statute is an act cf self-protection extremely just and reasonable. The law is deficient in several respects, and particularly in not naming tho person who is to ho the obligee of tho supposed bond. Thoso deficiencies it is tho desiro of tho committee to remedy, so as to render the law efficient for the purposes intended. Thoy would suggest, iu addition, that contracts made by black or mulatto persons coming into tho Stato contrary to tho pro visions ot her laws, should, by statutory ilcd into our borders a population with all I provision, bo declared absolutely void: i .'.-i: i . , p i 'ri.. i: 1.1 1. --.I !... .... c , .....lit proper, miting rare noi io violate tin pcoplo whoso situation is on anomaly in our j rigltJ 'of 'oll,nr stutcs T)liS) bawevct f TERMS The Ohio State Journal, and Co lumbl-s Gazette, has been recently en lurged, and will continue to be published nn n Super Imptrinl, or Mammoth sheet, with a small but neat type, twice a week during the session of the Legislature, nd once a week the remainder nf tho year, at tho following rates, viz: Three Dollars per annum: but the same may bo discharge I by paying in mivuucu i ico vQuars ana rijn itrus.

'1 social system, and a libel upon our tree and equal laws a people whoso degraded and dependent condition, and dissolute conduct, tunnsli at the same time examples ot do pravitv, and facilities for. the carr.ir.ission of juvcnilo offences. fiut these present cvijs, "great os they certainly are, sink into insignificance, when compared with those with which this State is immediately threatened. Tho States of Virginia, Maryland, end Kentucky, from which most of the blacks among' us have emigrated, contain a population of more than 100,000 free blacks and mulattocs. This number is constantly increasing, by tho fugitives from slavory and by the manumission of slaves whoso labor has censed to bo profitable, or w hom the mistaken humanity of their masters inducos to liberate, without providing for their romovul to a country where they can bo received into society on terms of equality. The horrid massacres curing tho past summer in Southampton county, whero whole families of women and children wero butchored while in a state of unsuspecting security, have justly turnod the attention of tno legislature ol Virginia towards the adoption ot measures lor the luturo pro-lection of her citizens. Among tho most necessary and obvious means of effecting this object, must be a constant and strict polico over tho 40,000 iree umcKs svitlnn her limits. this must soon render their situation intolerable, and their emigration fnflm that State almost a matter of necessity. Similar measures, tending to' the same result, will probably be taken by North Carolina, Maryland, Kentucky, and other siava-noiuing stales. Thus shall we have a population of hun dreds of thousands of frco blacks, driven by almost irresistible impulse towards tho treo Htatcs, and to no other State in ruch numbers as to Ohio. It becomes us then, at this crisis, to adopt such measures as will avert an impending evil of the first magnitude. Whilo wo admit, in its lullost extent, the right of our sister States to adopt all such measures as they mav deem proper lor their own security, we do most earnestly protest against the intrusion amongst us of a rejected and danorous population. PI t...... t r,i.:- i ... , r. ..... i no omtu u, vino uas, uy ner i.onsuiu-lion, solemnly denied to her citizens all the benefit of slavo labor, if any there bo. For 28 of the U0 yoars of her political existence, sho has forbidden the entrance ot tho blacks of other States into her borders, except under restrictions which would, if complied with, exclude nino-tonths ot the applications for admission; and we would now enforco what hasovor been the settled policy of the State, by taking further and moro effectivo measures for tho execution of existing laws excluding a people u hose residenco amongst us is degrading to themselves, and fraught with evil lo the community. Did this committee believe it possible, by any acts of legislation, to remove this blotch upon the body politic, by so devoting the social and moral condition of tho blacks in Ohio, that thoy would be received into society on tonus of equality, and would by common consent bo admitted to a participa tion ot political privileges wcro such a thing possible, even after a lapso of time and by a pecuniary sacrifice most gladly would they rccoinmond such measures as would subserve tho cause of humanity, by producing such a result. Itut they appeal to tho experience of every man in this community, to boar Ihom out in tho assertion that such an a-.ualga- n measure that the committee weuld nl at present recommend; but they do mo4 ear nestly hope, that some efficient measures may bo adopted by tins Legislature, which wilt avert the threatened influx into tho Stntc, of a population whoso introduction can only be productive of injury to the interests and morals of her citizens; and for that purposo they would respectfully recommend the adoption of the following resolution : Jtcsoltrd, That tho select committee to whom wns referred so much of tho Coventor's Message, as relates to tho colored population of Ohio, be nnd they uro hereby instructed, to report a bill so to amend the Inws regulating black nud mulatto persons, us to prevent their further migration into this State. Tho question being upon the motion by .Mr Harris to disagree to the above resolu tion; Mr Woutiiinuton addressed tho House as follows It was iiot my wish at this time to enter at length into tho details ot tno bill winch tho committoo propose, if so instructed to report to this House, for the purpose ol remedying what they consider a great and growinsr evil. I had hoped, indeed, that a resolution which has for its wholo scope, so to amend as to render efficient laws which havo received the sanction of near thirty successive Legislatures of Ohio, would not in its present stage require a further discussion than wns necessary to ascertain the sensoof this House, whether any thing should bo done to olVoct its object nt the present session. Hut in compliance with tho call of the gontlemnn from Stark, I will so far trespass upon tho patience of the House as to flute, uot only why the committco believe that a crisis has arrived when something should bo dono to prevent the threatened migration of a black populatian into this Stato, but also some of tho most prominent means which havo suggested themselves as tho most expedient to bo adopted in furtherance of the professed object of -the resolution.The laws hitherto in force, although partly inefficient, havo not wholly failed in their object, as is proved by the fact that Ohio, although nearly half encircled by slovo .States, contains a less per centago of blacks than almost any other Stnto iu the Union. In tho usual courso of affairs, it might not have been necessary to amend theso laws; but tho recent events in Virginia render our situation widoly different from what it has heretofore been, and the danger of being overrun with a population, tho outcasts of that and other States, tenfold mora imminent.Tho events of last summer, sir, have produced a statu of open excitement, and evinced a fooling of deadly hostility between tho two races ot men, not in Virginia only, but in tho adjoining States, only paralleled by what existed uetween our ironiiur settlers and their savugo neighbors. Novor wore the atrocities of tho Indian more barbarous; novor was a spirit of vengeance moro deep aud unforgiving shown by those untutored sons of the forost, than was exhibited in tho massacres of Southampton mafsacrcs which show in their true light tho black and malignant fueling, the eternal and over enduring hatred, always existing in tho great mass of slaves toward their oppressors. Sir. wlmt must bo the feelings of the Legislator, now nt Richmond! Doot he not know that the ngjnts of destrnction aro rilb in every part ot his State! that a single spark may kindle n consuming firo to destroy his unprotected family, ami s-rcop tho hostilo foclinsrs of slaves, and fur more dangerous to community than if held in actual bondage. I pray this IIouso to believe mo when I say that I would, for one, far rather submit to this evil than that of slavery I only state a fact which is confirmed bv the condition of i mates wiieru there aro both tree blacks and laves. No. sir: wlmtevor mav be tho re- suit, I do not, I cannot for a moment rcgrot the wise and humane provision of our Con stitution which has furcvor excluded slavory from Otio. - "l would not havo a slavo tn 'ill m irrmtnil To rhii me when I sleeii.ond IroinMs ,1-lten I wsl;6, Fur alt the gnlil ihst siaoivs Iwut and s.jd Have tret earned." But, sir, I do not desire to stnn here. I do not desire to have iu th.s froo couiniunitv. That lists of black and mulatto persona ha made by tho Assessors, and by tliem deposited in tho office of tho Clerks of tho Courts of Common Pleas in each county in tho State; and that said Clerks shall also keep a suparata list of all who havo complied with the laws regulating blacks and mulattocs: And that no black or mulatto person shall bo permitted to romovo from ono county tr another, without giving bond iu the county to which they remove, in conformity to'tli'o Olher amend ments rnav suggest them selves; but theso nro the principal featured of tho hill proposed to lie reported by tin committee, siiould the ilousu 'ieo u tho resolution. Sir. it is impossible for tho friends of this ono single individual who cannot stand resolution to divine all the objections that erect in tho majesty bf the imturo his God I may ho urged against it. The gentleman uas givon mm, aim say to me, i am a man, ! irom Mark ins, iiotvovor, intimated Wat VOIR EOl At, It is lor this reason that 1 now ask this House to take some efficient measures to provont tho migration of Hacks into Ohio. Lan tuey ever exist here except as a degraded race! Can you ever expect any eluva constitutional objections exist to the excr- ciso of the power proposed. Hir, I cannot bclievo this, nxceptir.g only the powers granted by the Constitution of the United States to tho General Government, the State of Ohio holds all tho tion of morul sentiment any prevalence of rights and powors of a sovereign Stato, anrl industrious and virtuous habits any culti vation of intellect any of thoso qualities, in fine, which render men good citizens, to cnaractcrizo a peoplo upon whom society has affixed tho brand of infamy from thuir birth! with whom it is considered difgraco- ful fur the meanest white man to associate! As well might the Egyptian taskmaster of old expect tno tale ot bricks when tho fuel for making them was withheld. Aro not those unhappy pcoplo excluded by our Constitution from the right qf suffrage, and by our laws from the benefits and blessings of, treo schools; and this, too, from tho dire nocessity imposed by tho feeling of the community, that their very touch is contamination! Sir, all this is but too true; and more thou this fur when they grow up to manhood in the land of their birth, all, cvou the lowost public offices, are to them hermetically scaled: no great and uobla aspirations tor stations whoro they can promote tho good of their fellow-uicn, stimulate thoin to the exertion of their energies. Not even the poor privilege of voting at a township election, can be attained by all the learning, and virtue, and intellect, that ever adorned the greatest of the human race, if covered by iho sablo skiti of an African. And now, sir, I would ask if ony legislation of this House can chango this date of things! Can we raiso this uufuitiiiiuta po pulation to any thing like equality in social amongst the rest tho right of sell-protection Irom impending evil. This right is exercised every day in the Statos of L'tiropo by tho enforcement of their Quarantine laws, and may well bo exercised by Ohio to prevent tho spread of a moral leprosy worso than all tbo plagues of Kgypt. Again: every Stnto has tho unquestioned right to exclude paupors who threaten to become a charge upon tho community. This is the wholo sropo efour existing laws, and of tho amendments proposed; and if the exercise of this rig'it ia undisputed whero only tho paltry consideration of dollars nnd couts is at stake, muqli moro when the dearest interests and morals of a community aro endangered, may sho toko measures tor their protection. Sir, tho same Constitution of the United Stales which declares that citizens of the several Statos shall be untitled to the rights of citizens in oil the States, recognizes unequivocally, not only the distinction between block and white men, but also the cxistenco of freemen and slaves. It was never in tho contemplation pf the framcrs of thot Constitution, that Mack men would ovor bo citizens in any of the States; sud there in nut one State in our Union w hero tboy aro actually and practically so. The laws pvs- ed under that Constitution exclude all nliens, except ft-eo whites, from becoming citikxns by naturalization. Iiantly, sir, th Cuiirtitution of Ohio, sanctioned by her ad- intercourpo! Can wo oven so purify und I mission into the Union, forovor excludes all . ...... 1 . - l I....

The voice of the public on this subject, is strong and uiicmiivocol; and what might bo done hr onu Legislature, would bo undone by" thu next, witnout Having any oilier tendency than to invite other blacks to enter our borders, and pass their lives in the eaino statu of hopulc6s degradation. Hir, even wero laws passed, and could they be continued in forco, admitting blacks to a lull participation of political privileges; wcro even this possiblo, would they advance ono step in society! W ould wo bo willing to resign our daughters to the arms of black men! Would we admit them into our families as equals, under any circumstances? Sir, the powor of gold itself, se omnipotent in general, is powerless to rcconcilo inon to an union so repugnant to their feelings, and so revolting to that society whose good opinion is as tho breath of life. I hold, thon, that the residence of blacks amongst us is injurious tn tho community, and degrading to themselves. That no acts of legislation can ameliorate their condition, whilo they continue to reside, among a people by whom they limit always ho considered and treated as inferiors.And that thern in great and pressing danger that tlxir tiuwlwra !a Ohio will l but free white mou from all political privi leges. And now, sir, that Ihorti may be no misopproheusion of ny meaning, 1 6y to tho gentleman from Slark, Ihat tho Constitution under tvliich wo live, was not uiado fur black men. At the timo of the adoption of that Constitution, thero wore not -IK) blacks in Ohio. The wiso trainers of that Constitution wcro not of that class of honvbook politicians, who shut their eyes to tho moral and social state of the society oreund them, and contont themselves with uttering truisms, and quoting wise saws and modern instances. Mo, sir, thoy wero Statesmen and practical men. Sir, thoso who would deal with men as algebraists, do with fixed quantities, will always bo most wofully mistaken. As well might an Engineer ox-poet to attain his mark, who points lijs artillery without regard lo the rcsistanco of tho uir, or tho iiilluonco of gravitation, as tho Legislator to sffcot his object, who pays no regard to tho moral atmosphere around him. The convention lliot framed the Constitution of Ohio, were well awara of thij. Thcy desired, in the language of the declaration of Independence, adopted in that Constitution, that in tho infant stato of their erection, all men should bo "bobn ibi-.b akd wal." They knew that this practical equality, between the black and white racus of men, could never exist in hio. They considered (if tho llouso will pardon uie uumher illustration fioni science) ihat the rosidcucii in Ohio, cif a rac- of Mack inon, was a mi-niu i'1-inti'v Kih'r:l;iis frr.T. tlio terul -v ' i-, Z-; .rViiiSiiViivS.
