The famous Toussaint L’Overiure adopted coercive measures to restore agriculture; and it is, we believe, idle to suppose that any other will ever be effectual in such a country to impel the negro to labor. By an edict issued in 1800, Toussaint obliged every Haytian, nota proprietor of land,fto hire himself as an agricultural laborer to some pro- prietor without the power subsequently to withdraw himself from his service. The use of the whip was abolished; but on the other hand the sabre, musket and bayonet were employed to keep the peasantry at work. The compulsory sys- tem was followed both by Dessalines, who at one period raised the value of the exports to a third of what it was in 1789, and by Gristophie; an able though sanguinary and brutal tyrant. Petion, on the contrary, abandoned the coercive measure, and the consequence was that the Island displayed lit de more than occasional spots of culture. “Boyer, during the first years of his rule, continued the lax system of his predecessor, und the state of agricul- ture at that time was most deplorable.

What phi- lanthropiet will say that this state is preferable to the present condition of the blacks Who will be- lieve that the negro is a more just and equitable employer than the white, or that he is not ground down and plondered by the ‘ proprietor” in every way? Who will hold that this condition of man is conducive to his elevation and advancement? or that this abandonment of the fairest portions of the world is conducive to the welfare of the human race?” We are pleased that this conspiracy has existed, though it will no doubt canae much suffering. But ita effect will be experienced for ages, inthe po- itical situation of the island, because it will show the eg how wild and pernicious to themselves, would be any collision with the present govern- ment. Because it will teach the blacks how des- perate is their chance of success in any insurrec- tion against the whites. Because it will fo: upon the government the necessity of preventing the increase of the namerical force of the blacks by importation, and call its attention to the great and frowing necessity of white colonization. In a philanthropic view, because it will cause to erase at once the ever to be detested ‘slave trade” of this island with Africa, and strike a heavy blow at the root of this great evil tiny atieare the world ; and because we believe it will do much good in the United States, if properly presented, in show- ing to the well-meaning, but mistaken abolitionists, the utter incompatibility of the ends they are striv- ing to obtain, with the desires of their hearts, which we take to be “an elevation of man.” The peace of this island is now, we believe, guaranteed for many years.
