THE London Morning Post without protesting to
believe, with Aristotle, that the negro was made
to be slave, says there are many, of the present
day, who are of similar opinion and that there
are comparatively few, who know anything Of the
uegro, that do not believe be must be governed by
strong hand, The Jamaica iusurrectioh, which
eiicts these views, is opening the eyes of many, on
both sides of the Atlantic, to the true character
of the black man--his utter unitness for freedom
in its most limited form. The Post concludes its
ranlarks on Jamaica in these words;
"An' in their present revolt it will be found that
the negroes in Jamaica, are not struggling for the
a,tainnent Of any social or political advantage,
enjoyed by the white population, but are simply
endeavoring to exterminate race which they re-
gard with jealousy"

to the bloodthirsty spirit ofabolitionism. Posterty
will look, with disgust upon the treachery of a
government which violates its plighted faith, and
pardons only to betrsy. On the surrender of our
armies, it soemnly stipulated that the soldiers
and officers should retire to their homes not TO be
rioested in the future, for anything connected
with their duties belligerents, and the amnesty

was to promote losilties against England, the
proper course for the chief mags rate of friendly

The New York Netas reports that more than
thirty thousand negroes have died in, and around,
Atlantis, Ga, within the last twelve months An
equal mortality has attended all the localities, along
the Gulf coast where negroes have congregated
about Yankee garrisons and eucampments. An
estimate has been made that, during the war, the
mortality amongst the negroes, has been not less
than forty per cent. At this rate, abolition will
soon be accomplished in the most efectual manner.
