;gfess ?flhb wai- diminfshes^our Hol? tf the

-nunJfcers,-counts as.two. ??V is.th?s all; eve
ry day but increases,the moral difficulties of j
?nrjui?atiqn. The slave becomes every day
more restless. In proximity to the "enemy,
ie hardly recognises, even now,-the authority
_ofthe master. . Even at .remoter points, the
master and mistress-know what I say *to be
true, that the reins of authority cannot be
held.a? tightly, nor -with so firm .a grasp as
formerly. T?at fcc is,stjRaubmiasiye evince*, 1
not that there is no slumbering volcano with- - :

was for once, right, .when he said that lie
could hot carry on the contest for 'six months

us if we had known le*s of this early liberty.
Yet this but proves all the moro clearly the
powtr-^the*iirresis;tible power, of -1 his all
