A COMMENTARY,

Bishop Capsrs, of South Carolina, a gen.
tlsmen Of great piety, was the owner of Q
large plantation and one hundred slaves
IA few years ago he was seized with the
emancipation fevsr,and resolved to set them
Iall free. He gave up to their use for three
years, the plantation and all that was upon
it; horses cattle, farming utensils, and all,
telling them that if they succeeded well,
at the end of that time, they should have
their freedom and all they had made. When
the time had expired, he found that they
had made nothing, that the stock was all
killed for their use, that all the farming
implements were destroyed, that the horses
had died and not been replaced, that there
was no corn in the courthouse, or cotton
at the gin, and that they were on the point
of starvation. He became satisfied that
they were incapable Of shifting for them
selves, and very wisely took them once
more under bis own charge.
