Excerpt from Miscellaneous Papers, 1672-1865, Now First Printed From the Manuscript in the Collections of the Virginia Historical Society: Comprising Charter of the Royal African Company, 1672; Report on the Huguenot Settlement, 1700; Papers of George Gilmer, of "Pen Park," 1775-1778; Orderly Book of Capt. George Stubblefield, 1776; Career of the Iron-Clad Virginia, 1862 African slavery - the National problem of quite a century, and an integral of the social and industrial fabric of our Southern country from its settlement - has so long ceased to exist in the United States that a generation of citizens of the two races, formerly master and slave, have since attained their practical functions. The abolition of the institution of slavery, however accomplished, is not to be regretted. The relation of the two races from its inception was fortunate for the inferior, and beneh cent to it, a realization as to the latter fact, which, it is believed, the negro has not yet divested himself of, and which may explain his political affiliation in some of the States of our Union. He is physically best adapted to, and prefers the warmer climate of the Middle and Southern States (the sections which offer great advantages in essential raw materials and in the consump tion of many kinds of manufactures). He is not likely, from past developments, to become skilled in mechanics to any extent, and to enter into competition with the trained white artisan; a premise, which being realized will not only solve the present great labor question of the country in a happy distribution of supply; but, the geographical and natural advantages of the sec tions stated being considered, circumstances seem to conspire toward a degree of activity with them in manufacture, and in prosperity, unexampled in the history of our Nation.
