From the Anglo Brazilian Times (Rlo), January
2ith, 1851
From all sources the information we can
CLEAN about the war is that in q few months
say two or three--the frst blow Will De
and let US hope that the termlna-
ton will then speedily follow; but the
work will not terminate then. Brazil
cannot afford to lie down and rest like a
gorged lion It will behoove her to be up
and stirring, and to hasten, and DO all IN
her power to put her house in order, ana
for this will want all the talent and all the
patriotism the empire can afford. Brazil
has great resources, but they are badly
developed, and the large indirect taxation
is expensive on account Of the mode OF
levying, and offers inducement to dishon-
esty by the premium it gives to smuggling
on the coast. What is wanted trotly Ii
new set Of men-and some such are GER
tainly to be found-men who will accept
office, not for the purpose Of emolument
or patronage, but for the honor Of the po-
sition and with the grand object OF leaving
behind them q name to be handed down
to future generations a. q pattern OF wnat
probity and disinterestedness can do for q
country.
Leaving these questions alone, another,
and, verify, a hy~dra-headed monster Is
rearing up and looming in the future. In
o short time and Brazil will be the only
country in the civilized world where slaV-
cry is tolerated. It Is now 80 crying an
evil that all the tendency Of public opin-
ion is against its continuance /; people now
commence to see that the two kinds OF
labor never can exist in harmony, and
that free labor inevitably degenerates in
presence Of forced labor.
What is to be, donsi No doubt our
local economists will sugges. many plans,
some unfeasibie. some more or less feasible
to enfranchise all slaves at once and to
repay the owners by q money compensa-
ton, we are quite against. The entran.
chisement must be gradual, and made in
such q way that free labor will, a. q natu-
raj course, be found to substitute Il. We
have no space, We have nc intention OF
going into the details Of q scheme; we
leave it in ADLER hands but would sug-
gest, and the following is by no means a
new idea, the passing Of q law to the effect
that, in a period Of years from it, passage.
there arc to DO no more slaves employed
in any town where there is . port along
the coast ; that, in another period Of years
the fine will be extended to q certain num-
Der Of leagues, and 90 On until, in fifty
years hence, all slaves then are to be freed,
Unfortunately Of age or sex, and BY tina,
period all the present generation will have
died away. To this might be added q
law regarding children that are born (; but
it would be a grave matter to touch, and
you could hardly have q free child to slave
parents.
During the period Of the enfranchise-
ment Government should appoint q proper
Board of immigration, and have regular
agents abroad, and at the anne time every
assistance and facility should be given tc
