To the Editor Of the "St. CrOix Avis"
Dear Sir

1t is Il matter for general congratulation
among the readers of he St. Croix Avis
that with Your assumption of the Editor
ship Of that paper it has passed from the
era of vain discussion on that greatest OF
Jail improbabiIities, and most doubtful of
all benefits: annexation to the U~nitedStates,
and is substituting for these chimerical
Ispeculations such practical enquiries into
our actual condition and wants as are cal
to be of far greater service to us
than any consideration of mere possible
contingencies can ever be.
Among these your late editorial on the
large mortality among the children of oar
labouring classes brings a subject before
the public which is of the very first i'm
.portance whether regarded as a question OF
mere policy or as one of common humanl-
ty; and the community are undoubtedly
under deep obligations both to the Honble.
compiler of the statistics, and to yourself,
for presenting it to them in the lucid form
i'm which it comes. While however stating
the main facts of the case most correctly,
you have, | think, inadvertently fallen into
one or two errors in your deductions there
from which, mainly with the object OF
keeping SO important a subject before the
public, and aiding SO far as I'may in its
solution and cure, [ would humbly ask
permission to correct in your columns.
You are in error in concluding from the
fact that the subject of the mortality among
the children of our labouring classes has
never been discussed in the st. Croix Avis
