Has not the one idea that rose silently in Elizabeth Heyrick's To Elizabeth Heyrick, of England, a member of the Society of Friends, belongs the honor of having been the first to promulgate, in a pamphlet published by her in 1825, the doctrine of Immediate, not Gradual Emancipation. The abolitionists of Great Britain, then struggling for the overthrow of slavery in the West Indies, speedily adopted it as their key-note and cry, and Mr. Garrison, in establishing the Liberator, declared it to be the only impregnable position to assume in agitating for the abolition of slavery everywhere. mind spread, until it has almost become a World's idea?

Mr. Bleby, long time a missionary in those islands, both before and after emancipation, you could not fail to be convinced that Cash is a more powerful incentive to labor than the Lash, and far safer also. One fact in relation to those islands is very significant.
