From the Watchmsn and Reflector.
An Englishman's Prediction.

In the year 1885, Just thirty Years ago.
the Rev. Drs. Cox and Hoby we're in this
country, deputation from the English Bap-
fists to their brethren in the United States
On their return TO New England from a tour
into the heart of the South, DR.. Hoby said
to me
IL have had one error most thorough
ly corrected. We Englishmen have not right
" understood American slavery. or how dit
hcult with you is the problem Of its removal
We have supposed your general government
might as easily dispo Of it as did the Brit
ish government Of the similar evil in Jamal-
ca. | now understand the great difference
in the two cases | have been South and
seen your slavery, and am amazed 20 find it
80 efectually Incorporated in the texture of
Southern society. The evil is organic in all
the slaveholding States. IL Is part of their
life, inseparable except by the dissolution of
the social structure. You Of the North are
more TO be pitied than censured for your un-
fortunate relation to that great wrong.
see hsw your hands are tied so that you can
not act politically IN the matter without
process that would be fatal TO your Union
Now, mark my word you will never have
emancipation by any peaceful means. IL will
come only through terrible scenes Of civil
war and profuse blOodshed. -
| thought the doctor an unintelligent
prophet but his words made an impression.
When. SIX years afterwards. saw him at
his home in Birmingham, he reminded me of
his prophecy only TO find me still an unbe-
lleyer He then added. "You hope to bring
about the abolition Of slavery BY moral sua-
sion. am convinced Of the folly of such
hope. The evil is too deeply inwrought TO
be extirpated by any but violent means -
When, six years ago, | met him again in
London, he repeated again his convictions
with special emphasis, adding, "You may
probably live TO see the fulflment of my
prophecy | may not but. sooner or later,
the issue must come. God will not allow
slavery 10 be the permanent curse TO your
fair land. The South will not give it up
without fighting"
The good man has lived, and have lived,
to witness the bloody struggle foretold, and
It's bearing upon the predicted result. He
said. among other things. what has not prov
ed true, that the colOred race would be mer
cilessly slaughtered in the conflict, and that
the abolition Of slavery might possibly be
their determination. He dId not foresce the
process by which God would bring about
emancipation with entire safety to the slaves;
or how eHcctually He would compass the de-
structiOn Of the slaye-system in a way signi-
6cant Of his detestation, causing 1t 10 perish
