against the demands of France." (1)
907 - H&G Aug. 7; ed:2/2 - August 1st was an important era in the history
of the British West India Islands. With many, the day was looked upon as
but the precursor of universal emancipation. In many parts of this country
it was celebrated as such.
"If the great experiment now making in the West Indies should succeed,
as it bids fair to, the work of universal emancipation will receive a new
impulse. Let kindness, forbearance, and good will be cultivated between
the slaveholder and the non-slaveholder, and we are fully satisfied that
the people of the South would not be long in convincing themselves that
free labor is more profitable than slave labor, and when this opinion shall
prevail, slavery will be soon abolished." (2)
