Sm ;—I must confess that I am a little amused, in my turn, at the short method D. «MACLEAN, Esq. has adopted in answering your two last correspondents, and at the Assurance with which he deals out his blustering nonsense to the public. '

He informs us that he has seen slavery in the West Indies .and Southern Slales; why, then, did he not draw his comparison thence? This would have saved him from the profanity into which he has ummrily fallen, by instituting a comparison between the people ofthis Island and the Israelites, under Egyptian bpnd- age; and me from imitating him, by carrying out the comparison upon a fair supposition. , k '

He also aliirms. that the people here work harder, fare worse, and have as hopeless a prospect, as the slaves of thosecountrles. I understand, Mr. Editor, there are no slaves in the British West Indies, and, consequently, the condition ofthat people wants no amelioration, in regard to slavery. With respect to slavebolders in‘tlle Southern States, I have always understood that their “ten- dcr mercies are cruel ;” and, I believe, notwithstanding all the stufi'D. MACLEAN is endeavouring to cram down people's throats, few ofthemwould be fools enough to change places With the slaves in America, or any where else, even though D. MACLEAN
