In 185! took place the most serious insurrection that bad ever alarmed the master race, and brought down condign punishment on the slaves. The agitation for the abolition of slavery was in those days ve- hbement and inceesant, and the excitement which it produced at home speedily apread te the West Indian colonies.

The inaurreetion in Jamaica may read a useful |

lesson to the negro maniacs of this country and of New England, who refuse to believe in the danger of a negro insurrection in the South, and who clamour for negro equality and uegro suffrage. There is vo conceivable reason for rebellion in the case of the Southern freedmen; there was none in Jamaica. The slaves of the South have just acquired their freedom; those in Jamaica have enjoyed it for years. Neither has anything to gain by rebellion ; beth have everything to lose ; beth are certain to be promptly erushed, beth are ignorant enough to dream of victory.

Heving, some time in the Spring, commenced the publication of this Debate, we did not wish to leave it unfinish- ed, if we could avoid dving so; and it is only now or lately that the Reporter has seen fit to give the balance of the debate to the public. It is certainly dveary reading at this season, when all its freshness has passed; and we fear it will not command a very general or attentive perusal. It is very poor satisfaction to a mem- ber of the House to see his speech—over which, no doubt, he spent much time in preparation— making its appearance before the reading pub lic nine mouths after it was delivered. This method of influencing public opinion is undoubt- edly not the most efectual ; and we think if we cannot have a better arrangement with :espect to reporting for the future, it would be much better to abolish the practice of reporting alto setner, aud thereby save a large item in the public ex- penditure.

Tue Abortion of the thing called the Herald, has, for the last fortnight, exhibited intense savagery towards us for having published, in our No. of the 20th ult., the communication signed Justitia.” It is not our purpose to answer any of his rigmarvle of abuse ;—it is no reply. to the arguments —ably and dispas- sionately written — which “ Justitia ” thouzht proper to address to our readers; but simply to refer to this point, that the Herald's corres- pondents, who traduce us, have no greater fault to find with “Justitia’’ than that he did not put his real name to his communication, while they themselves have kept their names concealed. Hop-and-Go-Fetch-It himself dole- fully whines at the absence of “ Justitia’s”’ name, while he knows that he has been libellins us fur months past under the guise of auony- mous communications. It was a great merey to the Abortion that the real name of “ Justi- tia’? was withheld, as the powerful influence of | the letter has been diminished by the use of an anonymous signature.

— -<<>>- c Waat “Briackwocp” says Lorp Pai mer-| [STON WOULD Have pong. — The first of these |

| oceasions was the Trent affair, on which it is| jnow no longer a secret that Lord Palmerston | jmade up his own mind to go to war with the | Federal States. He had borne with impatience | jthe bullying and insolence of United America | jo Many oceasions, and saw with the clearness lof his earlier years, that the Oppo: tunity was at leugth offered of putting a stop to this bullying in time to come. The Emperor of the French, }eyually long-sighted, arveed with Lord Palmer- jston; and had there not been with him in the cabinet men to whom the thought of war unde: jany cireumstauce is d-eadtul, the messaze sent (to Washington would have required a short anc | }catezorical answer, because a fleet, e.juipped tur action, would have escorted it to the mouth fof the Chesapeake. In the cabinet, however, | there sat at the time not only Mr. Gladstoue, }Mr. M. Gibson, aud Mr. Villiers, but Sir Geor.e | Cornewall Lewis, the most subtle of politica’ reasoners, the most pacific of ministers—one who could never be brought to see that in the ‘lives of nations, as in those of private persons, | there are moments when, though it can never

} be becoming to do wrong for its own sake, it is | | perfectly justifiable to anticipate others, and to avert an injury meditated azainst ourselves by

inflictiny it on them, We had, when the aut

raze on the Trent was committed, a long list of

outrazes to be aceounted for. We had been

cheated—tor there is no other word for it—in

jthe Ashburton treaty. ‘The States claimed as

| their own territory what they had in their pos-

session the clearest proof belonged to us; and

as if to cay this outrage, the island of St. Juan,

admitted to be ours up to the moment of its

xeccupation by an American force, was invaded

and kept military possession of. These, with

jather lesser, but not therefore unimportant,

wronzs, rankled and festered, and the Trent

uitrasze presented such an opportunity as could

never be expected to occur again for righting

them all by a process which would have bene- | fited the whole werld. Had we struck then,

as Lord Palmerston was anxious that we shou'd do, the Southern States would have achieved their independence, and become to us faithful allies, as well as our very best custome:s. But

a section in the cabinet objected, Lord Palmer. ston gave way, and we are, with the Federals victorious, conducting, through Lo:d Russell, one of the most vexatious, and we fear most unsafe, correspondences that ever the minister

of one Power was called upon to conduct with the minister of another. Blackwood’s Maga. zine for Nor.
