The poison whchsour sable cetenporary accused
Us Of having administered, has been alone distilled in
his own brain. We wrote from an earnest desire to
direct the attention Of the English capitalist to an
island teerning with inexhaustble agricultural
and mineral resources, and in doing this, We com

who curse that island with their presence. We fur

The Morning Journal says, that if emancipation had
not been granted in 1884, no power on earth could
have longer Kept the negroes in bondage. " Had not
the slaves been made free just at the period of their
emancipation, they would have achieved freedom fol
themselves, and no thanks to any Government on

This is grateful language to cheer the hearts of oul
broad brm friends, who urged to the vote o
twenty millions! When we spoke of worthless he
groes we used but the term which should be applied
to lazy good-for-nothing race. The editor of the
Morning Journal says, he can point out more barba
lians in England than we have in Jamaica, and fur
ther adds: sWe advise our contemporary to have ar
eye nearer home, where he will find barbarians

In the Morning Journal Of the 10th nit. the cudge

Excelleney's attentions which were riveted upon t
sable beauties What o gallant nigger it isl" W
