FREE cNEaRol LABOR IN JAMAICA.

We have received from intelligent friend, who
has for many years past resided in Jamaica, a most
interesting letter of recent date from which we pub
fish copous extracts in another place. 1t clearly ex-
poses the effects of the abolition policy of the Brit
sh government in that magnificent island. 1t may
be relied faithful porature of the social and
political condition of affairs in jamaica and affords
an admirable commentary upon the recent speech of
Mr.. Seward at Rochester and upon the votes that
have been given by way of response to it at the
North in the recent elections.
Mr.. Seward insists that the war of sections in
which country is unfortunately engaged, shall
not cease until the plantations of our southern
States shall be cultivated by free labor meaning
free-negro labor, such that which is in vogue in
Jamaica ; and the great State of New York has cn-
dorsed his declaration by electing as its governor
the candidate par excellence, of Mr.. Seward, upon
the platform of the Rochester harangue.
The occasion is not fit one for going in detail
into examination of the effects-upon the North
upon New York, Massachusetts,, New Jersey Penn
sylvania, upon every State that has recently voted
the sentiments of Mr.. Seward in the federal cleo
tons that have been held within their borders-of
setting the negro labor of the South free-free to
turn the States of the South into wilderness like
Jamaicafree to enjoy at WILL in the midst of decay
waste, and desolation, like the greasy sovereigns
of jamaica Hayt the lousy lazzaroni of Naples
the dolce far nente Ii was the mad dream of Clark
and Exeter Hall that to turn jamaica into very
Eden earth, and to elevate its negro aborer into
equal in intelligence and social worth and happi-
ness with themselves, it only necessary to
emancipate him from bondage. The facts detailed
by our correspondent the only commentary they
have been able to obtain upon their experiment.
The same mad project is now proposed by Mr.. Sew
ward, the result of which to half the Union-that
half which supplies the great staples for northern
commerce, and chief market for northern fabrics
would be to reduce it to the condition of jamaica
The grand pretext which this movement is con-
Quoted with us, and has been conducted in England
is that of Identifying labor; if the condition of
industry in Jamaica and Hayti is more elevated or
honorable than it was forty sixty years ago. as if
free negro tabor any part of the earths surface
more creditable to industry than the most slow
emily slave-negro labor that be anywhere selected
for comparison.

The democrats carried the city of Detroit by nearly 400
majority The republican State ticket believed to be
elected but by reduced majority. In fifteen counties
the republican State ticket has g. 800 majority being
considerable democratic gain.
With regard to the congressional elections the tele
graph reports that in the first district George Cooper
democrat has 1900 majority, with Livingston county
hear FROM If this be correct he is doubtless elected
over Hon. Vim. A. Howard republican, as Livingston
county gave in 1856 only IS majority for Howard while
Il gave 80 majority for Felch, democrat, for governor
and but "a majority for Fremont Howards majority in
1856 was S67 This makes pretty certain that the
ported majority of 600 for Cooper error perhaps
intended for much smaller rc-eaving the result
be determined by Livingston county, which previous
to 1856 gave democratic majority, and then about a
tie The other three districts give large republican

The New York city election according to the Courier

that brought about desirable result The unusually

and keep alive the interest felt in the result of the
test. The removal OF the ticket booths to distance
