Jamaica and the United States.

We have heard it intimated that the growing in-
terest now being felt in England with regard to
Jamaica will lessen that which has been expressed
for the friends of freedom in America. But we
apprehend this conclusion is not a correct one. The
opposite result will be found to be the fact. The
more of a popular movement there is with reference
to reform in Jamaica, the more thoroughly will
public attention be directed to America, for the
simple reason that like causes always produce like
effects.

It is the remaining influence of the old system o
slavery in Jamaica that has produced the dreadful

committed the horrible excesses ofblwehw iricahn .the bloody
record of the conflict gives the details. Slavery
glutted Libby prison and Castle Thunder with
thousands of groaning and pining Union prisoners ;
slavery clotted the ground and smeared the pens of
Andersonville with the bleeding and putrid bodies
of scores of thousands of the dying and dead defen-
ders of Freedom; slavery took the sword to smite
down Liberty, and by the sword it perished. For

triumphantly conquered by liberty. It seeks to re-
manacle free limbs, by resorting to every subterfuge
of cruel custom and more cruel law. It denies them

exacts, if possible, a greater amount of labour.
It is easy to see that this state of things is exactly.
similar to that which, for more than a quarter of a
century, has been perpetrated on the negro in
Jamaica. Surely it is important to show the friends
of reform in Jamaica how these things are treated
by the Government and people of America. We
think, therefore, that instead of the interest in the
progress of freedom in that country growing less
it must inevitably increase. The workings of the
Freedmen's Bureau should not be lost on England.
The independent and voluntary efforts in a similar
direction, made by other lovers of equal rights-..
efforts promotive of pure and undefiled religion,
virtue, the ordinance of marriage, temperance, and
other good things—will be found, we should think,
