'devolved ? We do not mean to assert, that tiny of the abo-
litionists have directly instilled such a doctrine into the
slave.; ; but the fact is now placed beyond a doubt by the
rebellious disposition of the negroes, that they do look upon
their masters with evil eyes, and that this feeling
has kept pace with the activity of the efforts made
in this country, to accelerate an event which can be
matured only by the slow progress of ages. Un-
der these circumstances it seriously behoves every man
to withdrew his countenano: and support from all those
schemes and projects (in whatever feeling they may
have originated), by which the existing irritation in the
colonies may be increased, and the population of both I
colours ingulphed in bloodshed and misery. Ihe first
lesson to be LOW taught the slaves is, their obligation of
obedience to their masters, under such limits as the laws
may have fixed. When they shall be satisfied of the in-
utility and impolicy of their abortive attempts, to take by
force what they are not yet fit to enjoy, it will be proper
to hold out to them, as the reward of their patience and
subjection, the expectation of such gradual ameliorations
ss may prepare them to become the recipients of certain
civil rights, which will be conferred upon them by a regu-
lated scale, according to their worth. The acquisition of
property would seem the most natural and safe criterion
of their desert, that is to say, their care and industry.
The success of a few would infuse content and satisfaction I
through the whole ; and we or our posterity would witness
the delightful spectacle of a numerous population of bond-
men, silently, but surely, working out their redemption,
without tumult or confusion. All that is necessary to
this consummation is, that instead of rowing disscntion 1
between the colonists and their slaves, we should inspire
the latter with confidence in those whose co-operation is
essential to their welfare; and, above all, we should avoid
that kind of unfriendly interference with the Colonial
Legislatures, which is easily misconstrued by the ignorance
of the negroes into a sanction for resisting their enactments.
The affairs of the colonists are now at a crisis, which
every one must survey with the deepest emotions of dread.
If it should pass over happily, let us not again have to
lay it to the account of our indiscretion, that we have, in
despite of the sad warnings of experience, provoked similar
calamities. We look forward with the most serious appre-
hension to the next arrivals from Jamaica direct. In this
awful pause, let us guard against incurring the reproach et
contributing in any way to aggravate the misfortunes of
our unfortunate fellow subjects, whose greatest guilt is that
they have been bora in a bad state of society which our an-
cestors forced upon theirs, for the supposed interests of the
mother country.
