$40 REwARD.-I will give the above reward
for the apprehension and delivery to me, or his

mule, which he rode of. Said boy ran away
on the 18th day Of October, 1S49;'is about %
years old; weighs 115 or so pounds, is very

eral correctness Of department than they did
while they were retained in slavery.
Now, If in communities in which the blacks
greatly outnumber the whites, experience
shows that emancipation on the soil, so far fro m
being curse 10 both races, is both safe and adj
vantageous, is it not reasonable that all those
who have hastily acknowledged that white men
and black cannot live together safely and adj
vantageously unless the latter are ensIaved,
should examine the subject to the end that there
may be a revocation Of their Judgment In
the West Indies, during the continuance Of
slavery, the blacks were treated with much less
humanity than the slaves are in Kentucky
They did not Know what IL was to receive the
care and attention Of an indulgent master q nd
asympathising mistress. Insick ness, no angel
Of mercy bent over them, and in health the
only object was TO secure as much labor from
them as their physical ability would admit Of
And yet, when the glorious day of freedom
dawned on them, and their shackes fell 10 the
ground, they were full Of gratitude, and the
dark passion of revenge seeking bloody satis-
faction for many injuries and outrages, was
not manifested. All bad passions had a truce,
and thankfuIness and praise were every where
in the ascendant.
After such an exhibition of the effects Of
emancipation on the soil as the British West
India Islands afford, IL is absurd to assume
that emancipation, under auspices far better for
the negro, would endanger the peace and safety
Of the community. II all the slaves in Ken
lucky were TO be liberated at the beginning Of
the year 1850, we should see no scenes of blood.
tranquility would prevail every where, and
those vices and crimes which have ever been
the adjuncts Of slavery would gradually disap.
