It was, we think, the Anti Slavery Reporter that last session taunted the West Indians with seeking to retrieve their losses by parliamentary majorities instead of attention to agriculture. The taunt was unjust. Agriculture is and was sedulously culti Ivated by the West Indians, and, they sought par- liamentary majorities only as a defence against the pertinacima persecution which has for long yeare sought to crash them by parliamentary majories, What they did then they ought to do constantly, and all the colonies ought to work with there./
