The London Times Oh Slavery.

On the lst Of Augustine anniversary Of
West India emancipation, whom our Amer
lean free negroes were celebrating the event
and singing hosannahs to Queen Victoria,
the London Times used the following lam
guage
1.-The worthy men who extinguished slav-
cry and ruined our West Indian possessions
are very touchy, very obstinate, very incon-
trovertible on that point. 1t is not our bu-
siness to deny them much justice and truth
on their side. or to stand up for the planters
who took line which repelled all reasonable
aevocacy But, confessedly taking grand
summary view of the question, which We
cannot help taking after quarter of CEN
tury, the process was failure; it destroy
ed an immese property, ruined thousands Of
good families, degraded the negroes still
lower than the were, and, after all, ncreas-
ed the mass of slavery in less scrupulous
hands, Aftea many attempts at indirect
Encouragement, we have been obliged at
last to recognize and admit persistent slave
holders to an equal rank in our commerce.
EVERYBODY who comes fresh into the question,
uncompromised and unbiased, admits the
failure, and asks why we did not attempt
gradual or spontaneous emancipation, if it
was, indeed, utterly smpOsssible to improve
the practice Of slavery into something more
like that we read of in sacred as well as cas-
sical antiquity. The more these questions
are asked, and the mora these doubts abound
the more positive are the men of the past,
that they did right in their days, and that
they cannot be improved upon in our days
