The slave employing countries may resort to A Trice to fulfil all the demands upon their labour-mar kers. It is not likely that the Southern States of the great American Union would do so, since social and political reasons make the citizens of the Union view the therease of slaves with alarm; bituba, and possibly Brazil, might take a larger draft of slave immigrants. The truths, however, would be free would have no motive to treat then worse than cat the slaves would be more valuable; and the trader de would be treated their health, therefore, would be an object of care and the horrors of the middle page would cease with our intervention.
But if we abstained from restricting the slave migration, there would be no reason for restricting the migration of free Blacks. To British subjects wo night forbid slave-trading, by proper regulations in the West Indies, we might prevent any British slave trading by defeating its object, the individunt profit of the trader. But the free migration would bring to the West Indies their most useful population, the Negro. With a free labour-market, where wa ges have superseded the lash as an incentive to in- dustry, it is most imperatively necessary to have an abundance of labourers: that abundance the West In lies would soon hiro, and they would then be able to compete with shave-owning countries in the growth of sugar.
But to people the West Indies is the one grent essential to any probable scheme for civilizing the Negro The West Indies will for the first time be able to set a complete practical example of free Black labour; of which we have preached the merit, though we have shrunk from exemplifying it The White civilizer cannot penetrate the pestilential continent of Africa, to civilize the denizens of the soil; but in he West Ladies he has the African entirely under his own eye, and in the best possible circumstances for the process of civilization The Negro is at once introduced to a fully civilized society, but one blissed by the top rate concomitant that industry
