The strong disposition exhibited in our Southern
States to get rid of their free colored population
has suggested to the people of Jamaica the feast.
bity of obtaining for themselves supply Of labor
from that source. Our files of Jam,ica pspers con-
tain an account of public meeting held at Kiog-
stOn to promote that object. The suggestion is by
no means a new one, attention having been years
ago turned in that direction, and two or three ship
loads of American emigrants having been obtained,
not indeed for jamaica but for Demarara aud Trinl-
dad One of the speakers at this meeting, who as
long ago as l64O had made visit to Africa for the
purpose of obtaining laborers for Jamaica, had
taken America in his way. He found the free ne
gro city population very little suited for the object
in view, but in the Southern States be met many
who would make very desirable emigrants. The
colored people themselves he found-so he says
willing enough to emigrate; but from the whites he
encountered formidable opposition. The Anti
Slavery men and Pro-Sayery men, though they
could agree in nothing else, wanted to fri ,tra.e
tie project. The Anti.Slavery men thought the
colored people ought to remain where they were
ard fight out the battle The Pro-Slavery men
though anxious to have the colored people CO.
thought Jamaica too near, and that, transferred
thither, they might become more dangerous than
ever. The partisans OF the Colonization Society
also stood in the way of this movement, as they
wished the colored people to go to Liberia.
Another speaker gave bis experience and obser
vatons among the colored emigrants who wen
from the United States to Hayti some twenty. FIVE
wears ago, TO the number of thirteen hundred or
more, their expenses being paid by the HaytAn
Government As body they were very inferior
class, and great many of them became dissati.-
fed and returned home; but the five hundred or so
who remained did well, and proved industrious and
thriving settlers.
Among the speakers were two Americans
white. the other black. The white one was a Mr..
Dalton. who had arrived Elk weeks before, q
stranger in the colony, on his way somewhere else
aud no beir detained contrary to bis inclination
could not but see in that detention proyden.ial
call to tale part in the meeting and make speech;
though if that was the case, il must be admitted
that Providence occasionally Calls upon pc )pls to
.,esk who have 'ery little to say. The Rev. G.
X. Ward cclored emigrant from the United
States. now a natsralized Jamaican, spoke much

Gov. Kirg has been violently assaulted for his com
mutation Of the sentence of Maurice O'Connell,
convicted of the murder of Tbere,a Spitzlein. The
Erening Journal contains the official documents
showing that the fact of O'Connell's conviction
came TO him endorsed thus: "The Jury say they
L" fLd the prisoner Guilty, and strongly recommend
"him TO mercy.' Judge Ingraham, by whom he
he was tried, united in this appeal did District
Attorney Sweeney and Judge Whiting; so did the
whole Jury in a special and urgent application. If,
in the face Of these appeals, Gov King had hung a
mere boy for crime which he never intended 10
coumt-though his actual offense was one Of great
enormity -he would have shown himself miracle
of inhumanity. Whatever errors of Judgement
Gov King may have committed, this, certainly, is
not one of them. O'CoDnel is punished as severely
as he deserved, and none would have been re adler
TO ely out against the barbarty of hanging him
than those who now pretend that be has escaped
justice because he has been consigned for life to the
State Prison.
