The Emancipated Negroes in Jamaica.
maica. . nimi
The practical working of the problem of
negro capacity tor seii-ottitura ami eleva
tion In Jamaica, should be a subject of in
terest to the American people at this time.
We are about to try the same erperlment
With the negroes of this country . which
Great Britain tried witb those of Jamaica
In 1833. In that year tho negroes of that
Island were entanclnatcd. The decree of
emancipation contained a proviso that the
emancipated slaves should bo held as ap
prentices tor twenty years, out iu Jtuts mat
provision was aoousiieti, auti entire
freedom and equality bestowed upon all
the nekrroes. Since that time, for a period
of twenty-seven years, they have stood
upon uie same looting witn uie w lines, aim
have enjoyed the most favorable opportu
nity for the develonement of their capaci
ties for civilization and self-government
if they possessed any.
How the experiment has succeeded is the
question that should be asked at this time.
Have the negroes, as a consequence of
emanolimtion. Dociirae more thriily and In
dustrious f lias tho material prosperity of
the island been liuuroved by their efforts f
uet tacts answer, i ne average annual ex
ports from tne isiann or iianiaica up to rue
period of emancipation were of sugar. 211,
13b.2U0 lbs.: of rum SOVl'JU puncheons: of
coffee 23,025,377 lbs. Kroin the date of
emancipation the exports began to de
crease, until, In 1848,' they amounted to only
67.My.-JOO 11m. sugar; 20,1 M purchSonsrum,
ami 6,084,921 lbs. coffee, i,. . . !
This was not owlnir to the reduction in
the number of laborers, fbr none of the
freed netrrocs left the island ; It was owing
to the refusal of the negroes to labor. In
1835 this matter was the stmiect ot a ser.es
of arsteleg in the London IVtnes, from one
of which we quote: ' ' I

cepted few of the restraints of civilization,
he Is amenable to few of its necessities; and
the wants of his nature are so easily satis
fled, that at the current rate of wages, he Is
called upon for nothing but fltfnl or desul
tory exertion. The blacks, therefore, in

population. So Imminent does this consum
mation appear, tnst memorials nave oeen
signed by classes of colonial society hith
erto standing aloof from politics, and not
only the bench and the bar. but the bishops,
clergy, and ministers of all denominations
In the island, without exception, have re
corded their conviction, that. In the absence
of timely relief, the rcllatons ana entica-
tional institutions of the Island must be
abandoned, and the masses of the popula
tion retrogrAUe to naroartstn.
In 1853 the rapid decline In the prorlne
tion of the Island, since emancipation, was
made the theme of a statistical memorial Co
the Jamabia House of Assembly. In re-
viewing tltat memorial. Mi, Itigelow, one
of the editors of th New York t'vminy
Fott, after stating the great amount or lanu
thrown out of cultivation sine 1848. saltl
"This decline has been going on lront
year to year, daily becoming more alarm
ing, until at length the Ulaud has readied
what would appear to be the last profound
of distress and misery ..when thous
ands of people do not know, when tliey rise
in Uie morning, whence or ill what manner
thev are to urocure bread for Uie da v.
The above facts will serve to .show how
emauitlnatlou has affected Uie Industrial
status of Uie negroes of Jaiualc, and Uie
Drouuctlveuess and prosoeitw oiuieisiaua
The effuct of twenty -scveu years of free
dom and equality upon the blank popula
tion of Jamaica, may be seen iu tha recent
uegro insurrection In that Islaud, . ant) the
horrid barbarities which accompanied IU
Ttils outbreak and Its attendant atrocities
can be traced only to the savagery of Uie
negro, ana bis natrea ot tue , wuiie nut
vhe negroes In Jamaica are their own
masters. They work when they ploaxe,
and lbr such compensation as they can ou-
tain. They are not drlveu to their tasks,
nor forced to accept conditions which are
unjnst, cruel or oppressive. Yet facts hsve
shown that under such favorable con
ditions their moral nature has not immved,
nor become adapted to fulfil! the duties of,
civilisation.' They remain savages, whoou
any occasion will break down all thv bar

Sonth ('nrtillnn, atltlrps.i'tl a lrtter to
Thoman Olnrkwin, Kaq. of Kiirlanil. on the
aboiitloii of ttt'Kro Hlavtry at the South. In
Whlt'h he saiil : " HvlcaKctl from iiron'iit
olillAtionn, thi'lr ftrnt Impulse wonlil lie to
(TO eomewhpre. At llrnt they would tterk
the towns and rapidly aceuimilnte in wiuuliil
groups upon their oil tsk irta. Driven tlii'iicf

Immediately uprinjf Into rxiHrence. they
would scatter In all directions, home hoUlvn
of them inlKht WHinler to tho free States, or
to the Weetorn llderuess, marking their
tracks by their Oi-predatioiiH and their
corpse. Many Would ronm wlhl in our
bltf wootls; Mnitjr more would seek the
recess's of our riwamps for secure covert.
Few, very few of them, could lie prevailed
upon to do a stroke of work ; none to Inlxir
continuously, while a head of cattle, sheep
or swine could be found in our rangex, or
an ear of coru uodded iu our abandoned
tlclds. These exhausted, our folds and
poultry yards,barns and tore-hounc would
become their prey. Finally our scattered
dwellings would be plundered, perhaps
burned and the Inmates murdered."
This jiredlction has been fill 11 1 led in part
with remarkable accuracy, and we who
lire oil the HOtvikeea," where there ia a
largo number of these unfortunate children
of Ilam "released from their oblitratlona,"
fear that ttie prediction will be afiop.ther
fulfilled.' We can not look out upon the
hlp-hway at any time without seclnif them
going "somewhere." homo to ('omnibus,
some to Ktifuula, some to Cuioit Spring,
some to Montgomery, some to, any
where; and they are gathered in "aqualid
f;roops upon the outskirts,, of every town
it Die country The "armed nolle" has
already sprung Into existence and begun
to scatter thein. If we are not mistaken,
we have read accounts In recent Issues of
your paper, of the scattering of some of
these squalid groups, by the armed ivolice
of Columbus. A few are going to the free
States, and many of them are roaming wild,
if not in our "big woods and swamps," yet
they are roaming and "marking their tracks
by their depredations." Few of these can
be induoed to work.
Our farmers need their labor, and arc
willing to pay them for their services, and
they have been endeavoring for the last two
months tn make arrangements with them
for next year, but we have yet to hear of a
single instance in which they have agreed
to work on the farms on any terms. One
of our nolghbors, an aged man, without
children, told liU, if they would agree to re
main with him, and work as heretofore, he
would will them his plantation and its out
lit at his denth. hut not a single one would
agree to It. They anticipate a general ex
odus about Christmas. T hey all want to go
to see their " folks" In Virginia, the Caro
lina, or "solnew here," which many of them
have not seen for half a century. It Is not
improbable that some of them will endeaviir
to i'ullowv their "folks" back to Daliomy ami
Liinboo. After they have all found their
"folks" they exjiect to locate iu town, and
laugh and grow fat, without taking nnv
thought "of what tltoy shall cat, or what
tlicy shall drink, or wherewithal they shall
be clothed."
We go out In the morning to hear our
neighbor tell that some negro ran off Iat
night and narried off his horse or mule;
another that the negroes have lieen stealing
corn from his crib, or cotton from his glu
house, another of depredations upon hisRii-
frsr-cane ami potato patou; this lady has
ost so many slut-Is, quilts and towels, and
that so many chickens, din ks and turkeys.
They have Indeed, attacked "the corn that
nods In our abandoned fields," and our
Molds, poultry yards, burns and store
bouse hive bcooiufl their prey." And we
tear tltat it will not In? long before they will
S hinder anil burn our dwellings and niiir
er the Inmates.
