A FREE NEGRO COLONY IN VIRGINIA--MEIAN-
cRoLY PIcTURE-We publish this morning a
highly interesting sketch of the rise, decline
and fall of the colony of free blacks set up by
the philanthropic Richard Randolph, in Eastern
Virginia, some forty years ago. We commend
it TO the reflective perusal of our anti-slavery
emancipation contemporaries, and we would spe
cally suggest it as the truthful basis for new
novel upon Uncle Toms Cabin.
The melancholy picture of this Virginia co
lony, however, is not at al surprising. The
history of the free black empire of Hayti, and
of Jamaica since the unfortunate emancipation
act-unfortunate to both races-tell us toe
same story upon larger scale, and with far
greater demoralizing and disastrous results.
The free blacks OF Jamaica are wasting away
from the same causes as the little colony at
Israel Hill; and the condition Of the subjects Of
the black despot of Hayti and of his empire is
even worse.
History, teaching by example, is said to be
philosophy and this philosophy, in every expe-
riment, confirms the opinion that the African
race is incapable Of selfgovernment. Liberia
may be urged as an exception; but If emigri
ton from the United States to Liberia were
suspended for generation or two, even that
republic would probably lapse again into Afri
can barbarism. Read the sketch Of the Virgil
nia colony at Israel Hill. It is very curious
and instructive.
