SLAVERY.

OF the pubic mind, IS OF d Humane cIiarac-
ter, and It's realization would be in accor-
dance with liberal views, it very often en-
lists tne most ardent advocacy, and fire.
~ouently produces Il great change in public
affairs. The abolition of slavery in the
British West Indies, while commended for in
tie abstract, and during May long years Of
doubt, enlisted many good and great men in
lis favor. But after all, there is never any
p.e!t measures carried in the world. unless
lis practical effects on society are impor-
tant ana advantageous. Slavery was abol-
is:.ed in the Br:i;s!. West Indies, because
the prop:ictors Of Tie plantations owed
large debts il England. and while TIE slaves
were cmancipa:ed, tie Indemnity money
paid for emancipation. never, in fact, left
tie packets Of the English capitalists al
home, but was credited to the account Of
the planters.
