For the National Era
THE BRITISH WEST INDlES.-NQA 4.

In our former communications we have set forth
absenteeism, want Of economy, nominal proprie'
torship, and the absence of ready capital, as the
chief and direct causes of the downfall of the Brit
ish West India proprietary interests. We have
also shown other indirect causes which operate
against the prosperity of these colonial posses
sions long before the ast So s5iaEcipatic1, enf
which would have been fraught with the same
evil consequences to one race OF planters or
another, when a crisis like the present arrived,
should the privilege Of negro slavery still have
been perpetuated, intact and without modifca-
ton But another great disadvantage remains
yet to be considered, which the plantations labor
under-if it be not looked upon as serious i'm
pediment to their very existence-and this is the
union of agriculture with manufactures, by the
same agents and upon the same property.
An estate, for example, containing 500 acres,
has 300 of these in actual cultivation. These are
arranged generally in the Islands as in the South
western States, to bring in the crop at a certain
period of the year; ordinarily, from November
until May. But unlike the latter, the tropical
plantations have no cessation to the rapid growth
of vegetation and the original stump, plant, or
ration, instead Of perishing in the ground from
cold and occasional frosts, as in Louisiana, re-
mains vigorous and healthy, but, at the same
time, almost smothered by the rank and luxuriant
growth Of weeds of every descriptions In the
palmy ~ days of compulsory labor, ample pro-
vision was made for the eradication and extermi-
nation of weeds and the careful nourshment of
the young cane. There were, then, the cane
cutting gang, the boiling house and mill gangs,
the wedding gang-each to perform the necessary
work, and thereby saving both time and cutiva-
ton. But since that period the separation of the
cultivation of the soil from the manufacture Of the
staple has become inevitable; and, as the pros
poets have darkened on these Colonies this action
is imperative to insure bare maintenance, to
say nothing of prosperity and success, to the
