Look, and Tremble.

In Cuba, within the last fifteen years,
the white population of the island has in.
creased only 7,240, while in the same pc
riod, the colored population has increased
333, ,947, or in proportion of the increase of
the white population as 46 to l.
In this island, the colored population are,
generally, held in slavery. How long will
it be, unless the wished for freedom shall
be granted them, before the tragedy Of st.
Domingo will be acted there
And the same is the tendency of things
in all the slave states in our Union. The
habits of the whites, who live upon the la
Dor of their human cattle, are enervating
and dissipating that class of the population,
while the colored portion are gaining upon
them in strength and numbers, and in
stealthy knowledge; and they are, by the
amalgamation which slavery heads to, be-
coming more assimilated in complexion,
features, and aspiring intellect, to the race
tibet holds them in bondage. Verify the
dangers of this state of things are dali in
creasing.
Look at these things, and wonder, that

unfriendly to our white brethren in the

the poor sllves, (Which we trust we have)
we have kindred and friend of our own
complexion there, for whom we feel; and
we wi give them no rest on this subject
until they shall have averted the imminent
danger, and placed themselves in condi-
ton to rest in safety.
If you ask, How can slavery be abo-
lished 2" we will request you to look at the
British West Indies, and your question is
answered. And in this country, the change
can be made to work even more happily,

Philomathian Society.

The Philomathian Society met on the eve-
ming Of the 9th at the Hamilton-st. school
room, w. H. Top in the chair. Question
for debate-ls the human mind limited |?
Messrs. Morton and Harper supported the
affirmative, and Messrs. Douge and Nor
gan the negative. The question was
warmly and ably debated, and the parties
engaged did much credit to themselves.
The question is certainly one full of in
terest as well as of deep importance. but
we have given it too little attention to enter
into its merits. Yet were we called into
the lists, we would throw down the gaunt-
let for the negative.
We know God is a spirit, infinite and
eternal. We know too, He has made man
the essential man, the human mind-in
his own image, and immortal. With these
facts before us, is it not much more reason
able to suppose that the Deity has made
this emanation Of himself capable of un-
bounded improvement, than that he has set
limit to it? S. NJ.
