In commenting some pertinent queries,
showing that, in some particulars, slaves in a
better condition than are other communities of
equal numbers contemporary thus remarks.
g Now we would remind the author of these
comments that it is not all of life to live, nor all
of death to die. That everything alleged in favor
Of slavery in those queries may be, as we believe
them TO be, true, and yet, according 10 such rea-
son, slavery should not necessarily be universal.
Because, in large community there are very,
very many, who are more wicked than slaves,
who suffer incomparaby greater hardships than
slaves, who endure miseries unknown TO the
slave, who in sickness have no enc to minister
TO them, who subject themselves and families TO
the most squalid misery, and drunkenness and
idleness it does not follow that the entire con,u-
nifty would be better of in slavery, although be-
yond doubt larger portion Of the community
would be better Off, IL under the restraints and
guardianship held over slaves
SO far as all experience teaches, is not the in
feriority of free-negro communities palpabei
The condition Of negroes under negro gov
eminent is worse than that Of the slave com
munity-their hardships greater, and vice inf
nitely more Astounding
The only exception are the colonies in Liberia
and its neighborhood. These settlements are Of
picked men, far above the average in education
and intelligence, and they have had white super
vision and aid. They hold out beyond all com
parson better prospect Of well regulated
Government than that Of any other negro com
munity. Yet with characteristic disingenuous-
ness, the fanatics of the North SANDER this negro
community, and paliato and ialsify the condition
Of Hayti and Jamaica, &c
Pray what are the evils Of slavery; What does
Slavery eujoin he, is prong 1t places many re-
straints, II is true, some of them rksome to the
negro, but, as general rule, they are intended
and do work TO the benefit Of the slave. He is
mado to work, but seldom ever as hardly tasked
as the white man He is restrained as far as pos
sible from drinking liquor. They have more
time allowed them free from labor, than any la
laboring class in the world. They are under no
more restraint, and subject to no greater hard
ships, than apprentices. In fact, they are re-
strained in nothing in which they can derive
pleasure, and do no mischief.
That slavery has it's attendant evils in master
and slave it is true; but tho relation can be SO
modified as to leave no sting except in the name
There is not necessarily connected with slavery
any such objections as to call for the opposition
manifested at the North. And what is very re-
markable, they show the most perfect ndife.
renee as to what would DO the consequences Of
success IN thoir attacks upon slavery. They
care not if il would cause sins and evils to null
tiply ten-fold, il win not stop their mad career
Reason, moderation, nor humanity have any
sway with them. Their virtue is sapless, IL does
not fructfy.

A slave rorc,bly Taken.

The brig Young America, Captain Rodgers,
of Baltimore, recenIly arrived at Savanna Ia Mar,
Jamaica, having Of board slave stewart, named
Anderson, who sad he belonged to Mr.. Robin
son. On arriving in port, the captain, it is said,
knowing that u the slave landed on British soil
he would becime free, took great pains TO keep
him on board ,and to prevent any communication
with any onebn shore. A letter, however, says:
''By some means the report that a slave was on
board got wild, and the inhabitants became ter
ribly excited ycalling upon the magistracy to i'm
teriere and otain the man s release. The magi-
strates were b doubt, and considered it the duty
of the Custons officers TO demand the release Of
the slave. The consignee of the vessel, Mr.
Mason, magistrate and a member Of Assembly,
is reported to lave said shat the people had bet
ter look shan what they were doing, or they
might cause hother Greytown scene--that the
Americans wolld send vessel into the harbor,
and send bomb flying into the town. The peo-
pie not being stimulated, seeing that the author-
ties would mol interfere, took the matter into
their own hand, manned their canoes, and made
for the brigantne. Five stalwart negroes first
boarded her by main force, and, Selling the slave
bore him off in triumph.
'When the man reached the shore the people
cheered vocifeb usly, and If the captain had not
been careful Of himself he would have been as
saulted. The Inly magistrate who took any nc-
tive part in tie affair, was MIR. Justice X. f.
He, TO prevenfan assault on the captain, dread
ing from the ireat excitement that such would
have been thu result, fastened to the beach and
received the liberated man with these words
Are You frte man or a slavef Il am a slave.
Then said Mr.. t., sin the name Of her Majesty
the Queen, 7 now declare that you are free and
Mt liberty, having landed on British SOIL Loud
hurrahs FOLLOWED the announcement, and the mob
united with tie police in escorting the rescued
man to the ofice of MIR. Justice Deleon, who
directed him TO be lodged under the care of the
police until tie following day, when the case was
fully investigated, and 1t was shown by the slave 3
own statement that the captain never i'll treated
him; that lie was a slave; that his master was
living in hltimore, and that the papers pro-
duccd, viz: the manumisson' or free paper, and
protection ticket we're obtained from friend
named Netiles, which name he assumed in order
to reach the British territory. He was thereup-
on declared to b free, and set at liberty"
The u. s. Consul at Kingston has laid the
facts before the Governor of Jamaica, and do
mandcd the punishment Of the negroes for forci-
bly, boarding an American vessel, and abducting

which have appeared in The Northern papers,
