THE UEST INDIA NEGROES.

Tea< Edaov Of The NJ Y Tribune
SIR: saw on my recent arrival in the coun-
try from Hayti that several Charleston newspa-
papers--among others The Standard, Mercury,
etc.-have republished some of my last letters
written to you from Hayti on the sad condition
Of that island under negro monarchy. Ii was
evidently done to show that even newspaper
with such strong Abolition principles could ac-
knowledge by the voice of its correspondent the
degenerate condition Of the negroes in free
state fad it necessary therefore, and even i'm
pcrtant to revert to this subject and to remark
that nv intention was by no means to say that it
would have been better if the negroes of Hayti had
remained slaves and worked hard their whole life
long in order to serve the luxurious extravagances
Of their lazy, spendthrit masters, but merely that
an emancpated negro Is better governed and edu-
Gated BY the liberal rule of distinguished white
men than by men of bis own color.
A negro who has once been slave himself,
without education and without requirements, is
too much inclined, in becoming ruler over
great mass to throw il into the same condition In
which he was once placed himself The earth
trembles," says solomon, before slave who
becomes master" 1t does not tremble how
ever, but on the contrary rejoices to see subju-
j think even that If free negroes have lived for
series of years under the shelter of liberal,
strons, just government, have enjoyed the adyan-
tsges Of education and become acquainted with
the laws and the rights and duties Of men, they
VIII probably become as iii TO govern themselves
as other nations. But the change is too great
nom an ignorant slave to despotic ruler for such
government to prove beneficial to the mass
However II the blacks of Hsyti are degenerating
onaei their own government, il decrease in ma
nona wealth Is visible, it is much more the fault
Of the white men, who formerly placed them in so
iorrlble condition as to deprive them of
~ the benefits and blessings Of civilization,
9n 1t Ia their own; for this is the
so.st side Of Slayery-that it revenres itself even
later generations. Have we not an example Of

southern States slavery or any slave-like condi-
ZION renders man at length unfit to think, to re-

Hsyti will improve much less under black gov
eminent than under the rule Of the white race.
There is as wide q difference between a free peo-
pie and people able to govern itself as between
The philanthropy of an abolition advocate and the
selfshness of STAKEHOLDER.

BrK1oS's THEATER.-Mr. George Holland, the
weIlknown low comedian, and for many years the
iavorite Of Olympic audiences commenced an engage
ment at Burons last night it being his inst appear
ance for three years in this city. Mr.. Holland was
greeted with most gratifying welcome by large and
fashionable audience, and was much spplauded
throughout his plays. We submit however, that Bur
ton and Holland in the piece Is more than enough
of good thing and that regard for the stitch in the
side which is likely to afct those who must let out
the laugh that Is in them under such double provo
cation should induce the Manager to play such rumps
more sparingly.
