Our Mobile namesake may rest assured
that we are not " extremely Ignorant OF
the process, circumstances and effects of
Emancipation in the British West Indies,
where the Slave Population was far denser
and the Slave System more pervadiDg and
inveterate than in Alabama. The compar-
alive isolation of the few thousand Whites
and Blacks inhabiting together one of those
Islands secured Indictment and impunity
to insurrection such as could not be hoped
for in our own Southern States. Yet all
men do know that the domestic peace, Sc
curity and order of the British West Indies
rest to-day on far surer basis than do
those of their Spanish neighbOrs wherein
Slavery is still cherished. So throughout
Spanish America Continental the end o.
slavery was the end of danger from the
Blacks, and of all necessity for expelling
either the Caucasian or the African Race
to secure tranquility and safety to the other
Knowing what we doAof the history Of
Slavery and Emancipation in all former
ages, it is quite gratuitous in our Mobile
neighbor to assume our gross ignorance of
the subject. The 8" old habits" of Whites
and Blacks may be very bad in Alabama,
but they are no worse than were those of
Antigua thirty years ago.
We rejoice to see our namesake put the
defense of Slavery expressly on the ground
of its abstract "political and moral propri-
ety." for that is the ground whereon it
must stand or fall. If Slavery is abstractly
wrong, it cannot be practically right; and
it is no more than just tribute to MIR.
Calhonn's eminence as a logician that his
disciples boldly affirm Slaveholding to be
the dictate Of Humanity, Benevolence and
Patriotism. If Slavery is wrong, it ought
fo1hwih to be abolished, or measures set
on foot certain to result in its abolition, say
we; and we are happy to have the concur
renee, so far, of the Calhounites.
We agree, too, with our Mobile name
sake that :" our duty and interest (that is
those of the South) run parallel on the
question:" We believe Slavery terrible
blight and curse to the South-that it
uains her white youth in habits of indo-
Ience, debauchery and disdain of labor,
renders her industry inefficient, impover-
ishes her soil, and lowers the standard of
intelligence, comfort and thrift among the
great mass of her people. Our namesake
thinks differently. Now let us suppose it
were demonstrated, to the perfect conyic-
ton of the Shareholders, that slavery is un-
profitable. or suppose that such advances
should be made in Industrial and Social
economy that an uneducated laborer should
he worth absolutely less than his subsist-
ence-so that slave should have no pecu-
