and the discovery of cheap brandy ia other civ
ilizea countries, has, however, led to q sad de-
cline in the demand for G Old jamaica Z and

free passage to two missionaries and save
themselves from loss by the profits Of twenty
barrels Of West India Rum, now find that be-
neyolence and brandy go together more harmo-
niously than religion and rum In CONNER

wiped out BY this advance il the cost Of liquor.

an equality with the white population 80 far
as they conld DO made equal BY statutes and
Legislative enaotments The result has been

was hardly ever known before, On exodus Of the
white population Of the island like that from
ireland, and grand supremacy of free niggers
