The Rising Scrvilc War i'm Jamnica--
Stewards irresponsible CONFLICT" there
md in Venezuela.

The Rising Servilc War i'm Jamai ca.-
Stewards Irreprcssinle ConnIcto there
and i'm Venezuela.
Recent advioes from Jamaica state that the
government there had been obliged to ask fol
more troops from England for the protec ton
of the northern part of the island against the
recurrence Of the negro riots.
We have some time since called attention to
the spirit of insubordination to the law that
has established itself among the black popula-
ton of several Of the counties Of Jamaica, and
have pointed out the progress which that
island is making towards revolution and an
archy. Events are bearing out the views we
have formerly expressed. Stewards "irrepres-
| sible conflict" is going on there as well as
here, and is producing its natural result on the
less numerous race. In the Northern States of
this Union it has trodden down and driven out
the blacks; in Jamaica it is treading down and
driving out the whites. Among us the blacks
have not been able to make any resistance; in
Jamaica the whites may attempt to resist, and,
| as we now see, have asked for assistance from
the home government. This may be sent; but
| the conflict in Jamaica has precisely the same
| character. and must have the same results, that
marked the identical "irreprcssble conflict
| in Hayti at the close of the last century.
The doctrines that Exeter Hall and VIM II.
Seward have so sedulously inculcated for years
are taught continuously by the black preach
ers in Jamaica, and they are fast rousing the
negroes there into open rebellion. Some time
ago we gave accounts of the resistance to the
local magistrates in the county of Westmore-
land; two weeks since we published the news
Of the bloody riots on the anniversary of eman-
cipaton; and now comes the intelligence that
the government asks for more troops. A part
| if not all the British forces now in Jamaica are
| black regiments with white officers. These,
when the conflict comes in earnest will unite
| with the rest of the blacks, for their military
education, small as it is, will entitle those who
| are now priyates to rank as captains colonies
and generals among their more ignorant fell
lows. In such war as is preparing in Jamai-
ca the white British troops may have the ad-
vantage OF skill, arms and equipment; but they
will encounter on the other side greater abb
lily of endurance under the burning sun and in
The painless wilds of the tropics, and climate
will add its fevers to the continuous struggles
OF the rebelious blacks. The result will be
that il jamaica is worth preserving by England
she will have to retain it by carrying out the
rrepressible conflict OF Exeter Hall to the
| annhlation OF three hundred thousand blacks
on The island
Precisely the same struggle has sprung up
in Venezuela. Monagas obtained power there,
and held it for eleven years, by pampering the
blacks and using them to keep the whites
down. These tired of his tyranny at last, and
drove him out; but the direfal ambition of his
successor, Castro, induced the latter to follow
the Monagas policy, and the result is that to-
day the negroes are roaming through that re.
public in every direction, burning the villages,
laying the fields waste, and menacing the
towns where the whites still hold sway. Thus
Stewards i" irrepressible conflict" is presenting
its Southern phase in blood and devastation in
Venezuela and Jamaica, while he and his fol-
lowers are laboring to introduce il into our
Southern States. 1t little matters to the dema-
gogue-M onagas, Seward, Soulouque, or the
negro corporal in the British black regiments
what fate attends disordered and dismembered
community, SO long as they attain rank and
rule. In the bloody scenes of Venezuela now,
and the fiery cloud that hangs over the near
future of Jamaica, may be seen the results of
the black republican "irrepressible conflict"
It's import is the destruction Of one or the other
of the races.
