ey were thirty-five thousand in number, and the whites thirteen thousand. No disaster whatever occurred from the humane action of Hugo. On the 10th of October, 1811, the Chilian Congress decreed that every child born after that date, should be free. Likewise, the congress of Columbia emancipated all slaves who had borne arms in defence of the Republic, and provided for the emancipation, in eighteen years, of the whole slave population, amounting to nine hundred thousand beings. September, 1829, saw immediate liberty granted by the government of Mexico to every slave in the realm. Now, in all these cases, not one single insurrection or bloodshed has ever been heard of as resulting from emancipation. Even the thirty thousand Hottentots-the most ignorant, degraded people on the earthwho were manumitted at Cape Colony, in July, 1823, gave instant evidence of improvement on being admitted to the rights and privileges of freemen. As a gentleman facetiously remarked, they

the Fourth of July, 1829, in an address on slavery, I unreflectingly assented to the popular but pernicious doctrine of gradual abolition. I seize this opportunity to make a full and unequivocal recantation, and thus publicly to ask pardon of my God, of my country, and of my brethren, the poor slaves, for having uttered a sentiment so full of timidity, injustice, and absurdity. A similar recantation, from my pen, was published in the Genius of Universal Emancipation at Baltimore, in September, 1829. My conscience is now satisfied. I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which i

He d. 13 Sept. 1829, a. 39, leaving a wife and two daughters, Elmira and Caroline. An obituary notice in the Centinel, 16 Sept. 1829, speaks of him as the only son of the Rev. Dr. Fiske of West Cambridge, and as one of our most active, correct and enterprising merchants. . . . . Whatever was required of him was sure to be done punctually, faithfully, and to the best of his power. . . . few perhaps live so short a period in whose character are combined more good qualities than in his, or fill up the measure of their days better than he.
