The rapid decline of the fourishing Island
Of Jamaica-the immense decentralization of its
once comparatively happy negro race, and their pre-
sent depravty and ideness, resulting in the destruc.
ton Of the fine town of Jamaica. are melancholy re-
suits of the sckly attempts at elevating class of
beings above their natural position the part Of
the British oligarchy. The 4l5,000, 900, or $751;
100000, paid by the British people in 1895, as
indemnity to the planters Of Jamaica, forms but
small portion. of the losses sustained by the British
empire, in attempt to counterfeit the DEGREES of
Providence. That nsdious government does not,
however, rest quiet under the blow which it
has inflicted upon itself, but endeayors to counter
act it by bringing similar disasters upon rival pow
ers. Its emissaries have long been tamperng with
the slave population of Cuba and of them have

The attempts of England to separate the northern
from the southern sections of the Union have been
as old as our government. The movements of the
recent agents Of the English government in endea-
vorng to sow dsaftecton among the States, and of
fom enting resistance to the authorities of the

remnants OF those attempts, and when during the
war, the Governor of Bermuda promulgated Bri-
fish order in council authorizing trade under special
Licenses with the eastern cities only, her leading poll

discussions between the north and south, was pro-
claimed to the world The xpe cted result of that
wal, in which her hitherto unconquerable navy met
with disaster in every engagement, put face
the matter. Until within few years those attempts
have been apparently at rest, recently, however,
swarms of ncendiary agents have spread themselves
the face of the continent creating disaection
der the plea of philanthropy. Some twelve months
since secret government instructions sent to every
to and report upon the condition and strength of the
black population IN the minutest details. This espion-
age is now going forward with the greatest activity,
spreading lis ramicaions into all sections. Coupling
this with the recent declaration Of the person
M'Cauley in the British Parliament, "that England
should treat with the Northern States only,n

information of a most important character, not yet
ready for the public eye but which will send a thrill
through the continent and starte the friends of their
country at the dangers by which she is beset.
