that this intelligence and those moral faculties,

been observed that what Is passing in the Southern
states Of the Union is the most natural and tho
most horrible consequence Of slavery: but that It
canrot fail, after certain time, to produce .
dreadful explosion.
Be that ait may, the programme has been traced,
and il is followed It gives kind Of ss,urity to
one or two generations; it is what determined it's
choice: Once adopted, it had for effect forcibly,
that this group Of slavery States sought to increase

California, New Mexico and the territory &C Utah

to attempt but to tzrn their eyes towards thS
coast OF the sea, towards the Antilla islands,
where slavery exists already. But in these parts
also, every day gives evidence Of an effort for iber

domingo, the whole Archip .lago was under slavery.
To-day, Cuba is the only one where slavery IL

she Intends to free the negroes Of hor colonies; abe

the slave trade, and We cannot affirm that this
commerce has ceased in Havana. But
Spain has placed herself at last, among the nationS
which obey the impulse Of progress she enjoys tho
benefit Of . representative regimen; she actively
reforms her laws and her entire administration.
She is de6nitively ranked under the flag Of liberty,
sac is thus actuatsd by propensity which renders
Il unavoidable that, at a future day, she will b
obliged to give liberty to tho negroes of her colo

which the Americans Of the South. necessarily
