The Instructions In St. Domlugo, jamaica
and Barbadoes,
&C., &C., &c.


The attention OF the whole civilized world and of the
United States in particular, has been directed 10 tho
slavery question with than usual and IN
tensity Of feeling by the John Brown raid Tns event
has found large number Of apoogsts the North who
probably understand nothing about the ee , Of the abo
lon Of slavery the horrible consequences OF nsgru
insnrrecton, and whose misdrected sympathy or rea
sopablc designs would plunge the country all the hor
rors of a bloody civil war.
In order 70 give true idea Of the brutal character of
the negro race when they rise against their superora we
have collected all the important facts connected with the
negro instructions that occurred within the last two
hundred years in the United States and the West Indies
This do for the particular enlightenment or those pe,
pie who have been and still engaged in raising or max
ing contributions for the family Of John Brown as wen as
to show what sort Of figure they will present in the hi
tory Of the world II they should really prove ccssu
h their insidous designs upon the South In the event of
their success of the most terrible tragedies the world
has ever witnessed would be enacted In this country II
would be but blood blood blood and the utter anpla
ton Of that very race for whose freedom they are for
variety of motives contend.ng.
It's fact deserving Of particular notice that in ALL or
nearly the instructions Of negroes that have occurred
In the United States and the West Indies their rst aim
To set fire TO tho houses Of the whites and In the con
fusion which ensued to massacre the inmates Tnoro has
seldom ever, been departure from this savage brutal
and treacherous mode Of warfare, wherever they
have succeeded their has been marked with ALI
the atrocities and hendshnees which mark the character
Of the negro in his uncvilzed state and in his native
country 1t true that there have been many cases IN
which they have exhibited the most unwavering fidelity
TO their masters but these only exceptions after ALL
while history proves that they have shown
Itcn-f tnoSs,~
strangers and friends. In st. Domingo they
have had fair opportunity Of redeemiug their
character from the charges which have been made against
them but tho history of that island nseai OF refutng
those charges, subsanates them the strongest manner
Ia the earlier days Of the frat French repubc when
equality was all the rage, decree passed by the
National Assembly admitting the free coored people OF
st. Domingo TO complete political equality with tho wnito
nhabiaais giving them universal suffrage and other
privileges yet what do find the result No sooner
did intelligence of this action of the National Assem-
bly, reach tho island than there was general uprising OF
the free coored people against the whites such social
disorders that tho French Legislature was obgeI 10 re.
trace s steps. At this time there party in France
called the Amis ds Nos, which, freely translated signi
Aes that they the black republicans Of those
days. It was the object OF, this party 10 OBJ
tain for the negroes equal privileges with the whites but
was attended with such social disorder and anarchy that
II was found impossible to carry 1t out
In Jamaica the instructions of tho negroes were
characterized by the nendish cruelty and acts of
brutality neither helpless infancy old age aordng
any protection to the unfortunate victims OF their rage
and savage fury. AS the accounts, however, which we
give below contain ample details these points, we shall
not dwell any longer upon them here.
INSTRUCTIONS IN ST. DOMINGO.
