Thus, although it may appear like an alarming confederacy, the system of sending delegates, or head men, around the estates, which the laborers have adopted, as advisers, or agents, to promote general unanimity; it must be borne in mind that this is perfectly justifiable; and it is only where actual violence has been threatened by those delegates against those who choose to work at under wages, that the authorities can merely assure them of their protection from violence.’—­Morning Jour., Oct. 2.”

The Barbadian of November 21, says, “An agricultural report has been lately made of the windward district of the Island, which is favorable as to the general working of the negroes.”  The same paper of November 28, says, “It is satisfactory to learn that many laborers in Tobago are engaging more readily in agricultural operations.”

“Saint Vincent.—­Our intelligence this week, observes the Gazette of 25th August, from the country districts, is considerably more favorable than for the previous fortnight.  In most of the leeward quarter, the people have, more or less, returned to work, with the exception of very few estates, which we decline naming, as we trust that on these also they will resume their labor in a few days.  The same may be said generally of the properties in St. George’s parish; and in the more extensive district of Charlotte, there is every prospect that the same example will be followed next week particularly in the Caraib country, where a few laborers on some properties have been at work during the present week, and the explanation and advice given them by Mr. Special Justice Ross has been attended with the best effect, and we doubt not will so continue.  In the Biabou quarter the laborers have resumed work in greater numbers than in other parts of the parish, and the exceptions in this, as in ether districts, we hope will continue but a short time.”

The Barbadian of November 21, speaks of a “megass house” set on fire in this island which the peasantry refused to extinguish, and adds that but half work is performed by the laborer in that parish.  “Those of the adjoining parish,” its says, “are said to be working satisfactorily.”  In a subsequent paper we notice a report from the Chief of Police to the Lieutenant Governor, which speaks favorably of the general working of the negroes, as far as he had been able to ascertain by inquiry into a district comprising one-third of the laborers.
