IMPORTANT TO THE UNITED STATES.

False prophets were never stiller about their time-detected impostures than are the pro-slavery presses of the United States about the results of West India Emancipation.  Now and then, for the sake of appearances, they obscurely copy into their immense sheets an inch or two of complaints, from some snarling West India paper, that the emancipated are lazy and won’t work.  But they make no parade.  They are more taciturn than grave-stones.

In the following closely printed columns, those who wish to know will find out precisely how the “great experiment” has worked.  They will find,

1.  The safety of abolition demonstrated—­its safety in the worst possible case.

2.  That the colonies are prospering in their agriculture.

3.  That the planters conferred freedom because they were obliged to by public opinion abroad.

4.  That freedom, even thus unwillingly conferred, was accepted as a precious boon by the slaves—­they were grateful to God, and ready to work for their masters for fair pay.

5.  That the mass of the planters have endeavoured, from the first, to get work out of the free laborers for as small wages as possible.

6.  That many of the attorneys and managers have refused fair wages and practiced extortion, to depreciate the price of property, that they might profit thereby.

7.  That all the indisposition to labor which has yet been exhibited is fully accounted for by these causes.

8.  That in spite of all, the abolition is working well for the honest of all parties.
