virtual slaves at the expense of the commun
and of the negroes among others. While there
were tens of thousands more labourers
in the island than the existing estates
could employ, the House of Assembly, eight
years ago, did some remarkable work. It
went on decreeing payment for the immigration of
superfluous labour, to spare the purses of the em-
ployers ; and, at the same time, it strove to stifle
the industry of the negroes whom the planters
would not employ. The Society of Arts had ex-
posed the costliness of the immigration scheme,
on which 276,000 L had been spent in ten years ;
and it had exerted itself to direct the industry of
the people into new channels. For this good act
the House stopped the annual grant to the So-
ciety of Arta, on the ground that it encouraged
labour otherwise than exclusively on the planta-
tions. Such has been the course of this unhappy
colony, in which, as a contemporary enures us,
the negroes are on a perfect equality with the
whites, legally, politically, and economically.
The assertion is abundantly audacious in regard
to the time we have been speaking of—eight and
seven years ago ; but it is far more shamelessly
false in its application to the preeent time. During
the seven years' interval, everything has been going
to ruin, through the folly and wickedness of the
class of colonists who, having no power of prosper-
ing themselves, are bent on ruining everybody
else. They have refused to employ their neigh-
bours, have taxed them to pay for imported
labourers, and have stopped up every path of in-
dustry that they could control. They have be-
moaned their own needless adversity till they have
caused the capitalists of the world to turn away
from the colony as a field for investment. They
have taxed the franchise itself, so as to keep the
coloured race out of the political pale as far as
they could ; and they have taken advantage of
this exclusion to aggravate the burden of taxation
on the unresisting people. When called to ac-
count for their oppression of their fellow subjects,
they became frantic with fear, and with the hate
which the oppressor feels towards the injured.
When a riot at last grew out of their long course of
cruelty, they lost the little sobriety of mind
they ever had, and committed, or stimulated and
applauded, wholesale murder and torture. Such
is the form taken by the pro-slavery spirit in its
later (let as hope its last) manifestations ; and the
beat use • -..tr to be made of the phenomenon is to
see and to proclaim that such a crime as slavery
leaves a long train of sin and sorrow, and calls for
a strenuous emancipating virtue for at least one
generation after the apparent extinction of the
crime. We who put an end to slavery have left
the negroes too much and too long in the power of
their oppressors, and we must now expose every
attempt to throw the blame on the nature of the
wronged party, and put the government of whites
and blacks into the impartial hands of adminis-
trators who see in all the inhabitants of Jamaica
fellow claimants of English rights, and fellow sub-
- Jetta under the English Crown.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES•

(THIS DAY.)

The Post think, that although it may be logically dr
ducible from the facts of history that there • fraction of
the Irish people whom nothing can reclaim from an innate
prepeasity to mischief and rebellion, still recent events
equally show that this minority is growing moan and
smaller, and its apologies for rebellion feebler and feebler
at every fresh attempt. Peniasiam declares war not merely
agaiest the Saxon, but against Ireland itself ; not merely
against prolestantism, but against all churches whatever.
Let us hope that this, the feeblest effort of the malcontents,
will also be the last.
The Star regards as the one oily satisfectuy feature bathe
whole miserable bunkum' of the recent trial.; the fact the un-
fortunate prisoners in Dublin have relieved themselves of the
odious suspicion of having meditated mamas. Indeed,
there seems to have been something cruel in the
heedlessness with which the crown oSlcials pressed
to the last the charge of • conspiracy to massacre. The
judges and the jury accepted the explanation.
Judge Keogh declared for himself and his brother
judge that they regarded the charge of intended
manure as withdrawn ' • and the jury dated that
they had not thought it worth taking into their coosiders-
tion at all. Suppose Laby and hie fellow-oonspirators had
been tried by Governor Eyre and his aonrt-martials, who
can doubt that the WWII) letter which one of them so
foolishly retained would have doomed them to instant
death, and would have branded them in the grave as the
organisers of • wholseale massacre Meanwhile there
must be something still wrong In the political govemmest
of a eountry which is always scandalising Europe by re-
iteration of rebellion. Perhaps with the suppression Of
the Fontana there will come a short puce and breathing
space. Suppose we try to make a little use of it, so as if
possible to cut off the sustenance from the nest crop of re-
bellion.

MISCILIALIMOUB TOPICS.
The Tinus sake if it might not be possible, by laying
down • few simple rules, upon complying with which a
railway should be permitted to be made, to sweep away

which are now necessary, and to deliver parliamest

rate limits, have, by creating • pecuniary inducement to
those whose income is made by removing them,
the effect of giving it an unnatural stimulus. The very
fact that a proposed line was subjected to a competition in

placed, would make men cautious before they embarked in
an enterprise which would then be just as liable to cam.
petition as any other, with the peculiar disadvantage that
it is hardly possible to wind up an unsuccessful w
orko of
the kind without total loss. A great part of eo
of private bill committees is to get up cases for the Stock
Exchange, and its approval forms a perfectly appreciable
item in the value of shares. This is another way io which
parliament indirectly stimulates the creation of new rail.

ANIRICA.
The simple but hearty acknowledgments by
Mr. Seward of the sympathy of England with the American
people on the loss sustained by them in the assassination of
Mr. Lincoln, afford the Tina an opening for a few words
on the prevalent feeling of this country towards the
United States. After observing that just previously to
his death, Abraham Lincoln, by the progress of either
1 amendment or truth, had righted himself in English esteem,
and stood u well in our regards as any foreign potentate
could ever hope to stand, and after alluding to the modesty
with which Mr. Seward passes over the living martyrdom
which be had himself to endure for several months, and
which, though adding to his country's calamity, brought no
symptom of failure in the operation of the institutions of
the republic,—the Times proceeds to observe that the reason
we have found it difficult to appreciate the Americans en we
really wish to do, is because of a dread of the indefinite
enlargement of the United States by unfair means
—means which American moralists vainly denounce. We
have not the least objection to the United States
increasing to any extent, and annexing any amount of ter-
ritory or number of states, so long as it is all done
honestly, above board, and by fair appeals to the sym-
pathy and good muse of the people. If the population of
either of our own provinces or of Metro freely and spon-
taneously declared that they thought this their best chance
of peace and prosperity, the British people would only feel
the most paring regret at the loss of a name, and the pro-
portionate aggrandisement of the United States ; but the
case is altered if the object is to be obtained by fraud, by

way companies.
Sketching the difficulties of Austria, with Hringary
sullen even amid the concessions made to it, Venetia ready
for revolt at any fitting moment, and the provinces which
most readily supported the throne of late years angry at
the overthrow of constitutional rights solemnly conferred
and now recklessly retracted,—the Times observes that
Huspry desiring self-government, and the Emperor
escalating betweeen absolute power and centralised oonsti-
tutiocalism, we mast expect new political conflicts be-
tween ruler and people.
The Spanish government, the Daily News says, is making
en experiment on the patience of mankind. It has set
itself against the opinion of the whole world. By the
most frivolous of pretexts it has kindled a war the extent
and consequences of which no one can formes, and half
ruined a State the prosperity of which, the result of good
government, rebuked its own mismanagement and hoot.
money. The conduct of the Spanish government in bringing
on this war has been reprobated wherever intelligent and
honest men meet. U this insane passion of military dice.
play is persisted in, retribution must follow, either in the
form of domestic revolution, or war with some great Power,
, or the loss of foreign triode, with the enormous depreciation
of property at home.
The Post expresses concern at the elate of health of King
Leopold, whom it describes as the mainspring of the system
of government be ban consolidated.
The Telegraph, dwelling on the late visit of M. Bismarck
to Francs, remarks than if the statesmen of Vienna are wise
enough to read the signs of the times, nothing can more
unmistakeably declare to them the absolute necessity of
reorganising the monarchy, than the fact that the world is
asking eagerly whether the coo Lion held by a Prussian
minister with a French sovereign was or was not unfavour-
able to the great East German Empire.
Treating of the Biogley Hall show, the Tdegraph declares
that at each succeeding exhibition undue advantages are
sought in dishonest practices. The black feathers of
pigeons are plucked, the white hairs of Berkshire pigs are
drawn, much to the disfigurement and suffering of the
animals. Some swine are painted ; others are exhibited as
ender six mouths of age, when they are seven or eight ;
sheep are trimmed ; and sometimes—especially amongst the
canny Scots—fine horns and tails are of artificial growth.
All snob expedients throw discredit on the British farmer.
and the public will be gratified to see the efforts which ,
the Birmingham Council is making to punish the trans-
gressors.
Dr. Underhill's pamphlet, noticed in yesterday's Express,
is the subject of an article in the Star, which maiotaios
that in view of the reasonable and moderate advice which
his letter °Detained. and taking into account the corrobora-
tive statistics which have been poured in from all quarters
of the unhappy island, Dr. Underhill may safely place
himself at the bar of even the least favourable public
opinion, and await a triumphant acquittal.
