Chlistianity is not so murk their object as to enforce their ou is vile and narrow distinctions, as contemptible as the tab from which their doctrine.< are generally Vellsereil.

Illawirer, Simon Little qtly Portland The fired stipends of thc rectories are wholly independent of the fees, allies are numerous and lucrative—And perhaps in no society arc the clergy more respectable, more respected, and more comfortable, thin in Jamaica ; there are even numerons instances of great opulence among the clergy there. In addition to the establishments in the above li•tt, the revenues of the curat anti others clergy is by no mune incontliderable ; s•I I „that we really are at a Ins to Comprehend the data , on which the opinion, that there is nu regular es tablishment ha Jamaica, can have been founded. The complaints by the Planters, of the interference of itinerant Methodist Preachers, are by no :mans without very serious foundation ; and it is 'proper that the public should be informed of the OW source of their dissatisfaction. It is nut to the " Methodists,"as a a ect professing different tenets, that the Pranters'Object. 7'hey, perhaits, are the last body of mess in the extensive Colonies of Britain, from whew intolerance may be expected. In KINGSTON, and in other towns of the island, there are Methodist Heeling:, against a hieb no. body has ever expressed the slightest objection— ' bolt the fact is this—ignorant, illiterate, and de. signing tnen, wander about the MAO, from one plantation to anothiteritrider the pretext of in. striating and converting the Negroes, from whom they extract no inconsiderable sums of money. It is evident, that the interference of these "Itinerant Preachers" is not permitted in the day, the Meet. ings are therefore necessarily held during the night, the greater part of which is devoted to the instruction, and ravings of theft :elf..appointed hlissionarier. The consequence of this pernicious. system is—that the Negro, who has labouredi ,in the day, and alternately listened, prayed, end. sling throughout the night, becomes at length able to resume his ,cork complaint, reprinsamkt and punishment arc then his lot. His mind inflamed,. and intently occuided, on what lie has been — A - ailin g • at these nocturnal Heetingt, disinclines him to the perfortnance of the task to • which his nil.. fortunate Condition tef Slavery iuwwed him; ' and on whatever Plantations the *We mate 1 lodgment, peace and traiqui are banished,'" The The N gruel on the plantation •becolle fefiactory, and misernbk ; and, to the loss las. Nine(' by the Planter, is added the incetisant ap prehension of insurrection. I 1 face, it beconiee' a matter of doubt, whether the Negro, ur the Plitillet, is the greatest sufferer. Abhorring, as we do, slavery, under whatever, form it appears it will not be supposed that we should countenance the cause of oppression.... Could we auticipate the slightest al/coin/jam, or impressment, lof VW condition of the unhappy df rican in this practice, our observations would be of a very dijferent description. Bat the effect produced is •directly euntrary...namely, that of depriving the Negroes of all comfort, and of all hope of comfort. On this subject, we have seem several disinterested, candid, and dispas. sionale repreientations...from which we are con vinced, that the horrors of slircery are greatly aggravated by the interference of which the pi an s i rs complain..-and it is seriously to be hoped that area a No.popery Administration will see the propriety, at least of withholding their support, if out of interfering to . prevent the progress aid ezteuslost of the practice. There really sasses to be as OM want of foresight in the management t of `West, as of east lo,tia affairs. Tile instrue. lions which follow this Order of Council, are , 1 viewed, throughout the West Indies, with deep. rooted aversion—and such an interference is there generally understood to be tehollyismions,titutionot. On that subject we shall ntit picsime to offer an opiniou ; but, at a period when, to support the monopoly of England, the colonists have, witlrout a murmur, submitted to privations and restric tions that have almost brought them to the verge of ruin, a due attention to their interests ought really to be a . primary consideration of that branch of oar Government under which the di. rection of colonial affairs is mare especially ',laced. Slavery, however mild may be the Inas ' ter, we abhor. We sincerely wish that it wern• . instantly abolished in every corner of the habit. able globe. But Mr. PITT, and his atNrasictews, have led thalantees its to the same difficulty in which the Stockholders of this enentri are involved. We abhor that co a ny-bea dad monster, he national debt, ~~. _ - ist sn;,.aseCh as we detest slavery. But both Ltistilledk.4.older, and the Planter, have been 'gored by the PITT system to get se deep, that to wklidraw were impossible.
