Several persons Of business habits and

large profits during this season, on the
Sea Islands, by cotton planting; and we

tried it will make more money this year
than their estates have cleared them in

practice upon slaves, and which must have
been al least annoying to gentlemen.
THE proof oi the puddlng is III the eat.

The free labor experiment, wherever it has
been tried in the South, even under the
most uupromlsug circumstances, ought to
convince the planters that they were mis-.

convinced by such proofs as are now before
them are in hopeless state Uf mind. They
can no longer claim that they desire slave
