How- ard Day and Fred. Douglas, INTERESTING PARTICULARS, key, kee » The thirty first anniversary of the emancipation of the plaves in the West India islands was celebrated yester- May with ail ¢he spirit the colored denizens of New York and its vicinity could get up. The place chosen for the @cene of the celebration was Hauft's Myrtle Avenue Park, and from an early hour in the morning dusky forms flitted ike shadows among the trees which stud the grounds. Hiflorts to do away with slavery were made Dy Wilberforce, the great abolition champion, in 1785, From that tiwe the most furious onslaughts were amade against slavery, and not without a coun- fer onslaughi on the leaders of the movement by some of the first men in England. The matter was brought into Parliament with little if ‘any success for some time till in 1793: Pitt and Fox having previously joined the abolition party, the Dill passed tho Commons, but to be defeated in the House of Lords, Iu 1807 it had passed both houses, and after con- siderable delay in arranging preliminaries, &¢., the act ‘went into effect on the first of August, 1834, The abolitionists having thus had their first success, ‘operations were turned towards America, where, how- ‘ever, for rony years previously, the cause was held asa good one. Here a more severe struggle was in store’ for ‘them. One hy one the upholders of the principle died, or disappointed with their ill success, abandoned an idea which they never expected to see realized. The march of civilization, however, caused a number of States to do away with slavery among themselves, vod in time a distinction was drawn between free und slave States. The Emancipation Proclamation of 1868, and the constitutional amendment, ratified with the blood of a martyred President, have now forever re- moved the Wight of slavery from the American cs eutcheon, aud the free negro was abie to celebrate the emancipation of his brothers in the West Indies with # joyousness aud a fervor he never heretofore gave ex- pression to. The day for which that down trodden race ‘had sighed has arrived, and therefore the double celebra- tiog of yesterday was a perfect success, WHO CONSTITUTED I'r.

SPRECH OF PROFESSOR WM. HOWARD Day, Mx, Cosmas, Lavixs snp Gentiines—To-day we commemorate the humanities of two great nations, To- day is the thirty-first return of the death-day of West India slavery. it bes'de the prostrate, dying form of its twin monster, Americen slavery. Heretofore, our rejoicing over West India frecdom was only partial; we stood in the shadow here and looked only upon fields of freedom beyond. Americans were thus shamed by the humanity and jus- tice of Britons. - The newly-born child of order, republi- canism, was thus obliged to yield the palm to Old World mouarchy, It made us, however, the more earnest to secure freedom here, and, under God, we have been suceerscul, I propose to-day, in the brief words I have to say, lo demonstrate that this liberty has been, has always been, @ blessing, and in no sense a blight the beautiful islands im the Carribean Sea. irty years 4 strancer, alighting upon one of there arene spite of ocean, would have literally heard songs and rejoicing. Wending his way at the noon on the night of Jnly 31, by the aid of the trans- parency of the atmosphere, he would have seen a group here and there of swarthy forms bending in humble homage to the great Giver of liberty, and one by one erecting thore and there their Eberneezers for their de- hyerance. The liberty bell—the token of freedom and slavery’s knell—was ringing out its pecls onthe tand and over the sea, and away up the island of Jamaica, under the shadow of the cliffs of the Blue Mountains, came echoed back the sweet to each and to all, The-people caught up the echo—near a million—and voices shouted for liberty; hats were awung, herrabs were said, in the heart and out of it, and whips and thumb-screws and manacies were broken | and trampled upon in triumph, The beautifully plumed birds awoke frota their slumbers and joined in the matin song, for the spirit of liberty was abroad, and these her vyoturies. Rey. W. Wadiey tells us that on some of the properties the people prepared a rough cofn, into it they deposited their broken fetters, and with a joyful procession followed it to the grave, where, having lowered it, they sang a requiem :— “Now, slavery, we lay thy vile f e duet, buried forever there let Pumas “ ted and covered with infaity's rest. fe every man's whip, and fetter, and ehain.’? ave thought often that the harmonies we commence in this world pees on and up, never ending, never tiring, running parallel with eternal symphonies, like blessed angele, whispering to the heart ry, stooping to wipe care from the brow of the surrowing, and lending even to the heavens, so to speak, with their bright lights and phic eves ‘a melody. An of angels siuging.”* Jobu Chester well describes this by saying :— “The spirits who, in the spheres of light, Have made thelr happy, dwelling, ach other across the depths of space r tales of love are telling.” ‘Thus, men’s*real rejoicing ia not meant for naught. Who shalt tell but each joyful aspiration of one heart is Int an electric wire leading to some other human lv ari? Who I deny that because of that rejoicing in those isles of the sea we rejoice? Thus:-— “Over the land the peal is singing, And hope is bright and hearts are gay; Every Mp a welcome ringing, Coine and help thie cause to-day." ¢.) Twenty-one years are the days of manhood. \¢ dia freedom walked forth d with years of self-reliance and power, We mect t the threshold of the manhood of liberty. They ask not'reception; they urge no pretensions; they make | no demand; but, on this beautiful morning, the sun Urightening our land, as it is gemming theirs, diamonds as thy are, all over with the “salt sea spray,’ deepen- ing the ever living green growing greener, and gilding t nds with glory-—theirs ouly—we visit them, to see if liberty has been to them a blessing or a blight. Lut, however great the similarity and proper the co: z S 2 & = 5 parison, let it be remembered a nation’s years are not tho years of man, To nation, thirty-one years are but a day. To a man the: ure over seven thourand. At thirty-one years the Mate: i of the English nation was circumscribed by the oaks of the Druids, Her great people were then pagan worship- pers. If, to-day, the beat of the English nation encirclea the world, that beat has been marching on for centuries. At thirty-one years the United States nation was not 0 completes a pr ems red 3 bat mee a feoble.

It may, to-day, voice forth its stifled sympathies; to-day, a great people may rise from bondage; but the way has been laid by themselves or others years before, aud t rising, whether peaceful or violent, only the elicct or the cause, or both, for it may be both of effect long preceding. By It I am reminded of the towering ava- Jauckes of the Alps breaking their icy bands and sweep- ing w.th a mighty crash into the plain, One additional ray of sunshine melted its fingers; one nddi- tional pennyweight prepared it to balance; and ono br ath of Boreas gave it motion, ‘The change, socially, may be silent, but og it moves—it fills its years. It fol! lows the Jaw written upon everything carthly; itis ti eating down its own work to build up oternity. And yet inenare the make up of nations, Caractacus, standing a slave in chains in the Roman shambles, was tue Kuglish nation gouud. And an ascending scale from that to now tolis of her gradual progression, then as we see with joy of which we have been speaking. What are the fre! amid ruimors false and tree, based upon the testimony ai honorable mea, in every position—planters not except- ed—native and stranger—after residences in the north and southside districts of from five to thirty and forty years? 1, The people have beon wonderfully improved And to-day, for the first, do we celebrate [ in moral: Said one who lived twenty-two years in St. Ann's:—‘Daring the first few years of freedom, tho improvement of the people in morals and religion was astonish ng. Then came a reaction, and for a long time past there hus been a constant struggle against reactionary tendencies; but on the whole the improvement bas far exceeded what the most sanguine of the friends of the negro could have anticipated pro- vious to emancipation. As regards marriage, during slavery it was the exception; itis now the rule, and is generally as faithfully ebsorved ns among tho laboring classes in Europe, The attendance in places of worship has doubled, if not trebled, since freedom, in this part of the island.” As aclimax to what he had said, he re- marks, “There is a gveat improvement in the morals of the people,’ and adds, in reference to any iiwmorality remaining, that it “is one of the poisonous fruits of slavery." Remember, not of freedom. Another (Win.

Joseph ‘ge, Thomas Harvey, Dr. d and Dr. Scoble, gentiemen well and favorably known here, went to the West Indios, at their own exponge, for the ex- press purpose of viewing the working ‘of the par- tial and full-emancipations there, They say:— The Sebbath is more strictly observed in Antigua endance on public worsl “There is & more een is of grace than daring ’” there is @ manifest improvement in the morals of the children.” And even as to Jamaica, from which the most’ complain ave come, Mr Jones says, after long experience:—“Looking at our island in Various agpecte—snaterially, morally and spi —L think the prospect is ut least. hopety Hed we more mivsionares and the means of sustain. ing them, the Improvement, I believe, would be more visible.” George W. Gordon, whose opinion is considered to sot at rest any adverse reports here to ore given, says:— “The negroes who have been lately ncipated are now not only the most valuable, bat paratively the most respecinbdle classes of t om: nity, They subscribe most for and attend better on tho | rdinsnees of religion,’ Secondiy,—Crime has diminished, Sed Sir James Carmichael Smith, Governor of British Guiana, speaking of even the approntic:ship:—"Since | the Ist of August there has not been an instance of @ white ian being siruck or iil treated by a negro," Said Lord Biougham, of Antigua, in the House of Lords, as carly as November 23, 1887, “That offences of all sorts, from capital offences downward, had decroased, as p rom returns sent to the Governor of that colo. hy In Antigua, “in the first year after emanci caprice was frequently manifested on the | one hand, and @ love of oppression ou the othr; | but in this, the third year of the records of the police courts show that both have materially decrensed,”’ Says a gentloman who las resided twenty-two years in Jamaica, “There can be | no doubt of this, that there is tees crime here than among anequal population in England, and that it ie generally of a lighter charneter.”” Says another, who had resided five years in Jamaica, “On the whole, Jamaica ‘will compare ppc with other countries in respect to crime.” Thus crime has decrcased.

They are generally a thr people, With the exception of a few aged and Teons, and some others who are idle and vieinus, there is nothing like abject poverty in the neigh borhood.” Yet “he grout mass of the people though thoy have to struggle hard to bring up their familios de contly, send their children to school, and support the ebarches to which they belong.” Mr. Berrx, an in- flucntial attorney, writes: 0 one who has any knowledge of the social character and condition of the laboring classes during slavery, when they were a little beitor thau barvariags, know ig av Sabbaths, schgols or | ebapels, but indutging in all the wild habits and customs Fae Fiore fener 4 yt ‘observe ‘he. a present G cepts of Christianity by yimiahaeat of chapels in their villages, and attending divine service in extremely beautiful places of worship, erected and supported prin- cipally by their voluntary contribut‘ous; and many among themselves, from their intelligence and educa- tion, fil high departments tu their chapels, and also become members of public boards, discharging public duties, and possessing properties, and contribute to the publi¢ taxation of the country.””' * * “The majority ure sober and well behaved, “There are many laborers engaged in the enitivation of several acres, producin; Sugur with consideruble advantage to themselves an fam‘lies, There are many who have acquired property since 1838, (and labor during the week, and on Sunday drive genteelly in their gig tochurch ovchapel) and only the idle and worthless are in abject poverty.

Fichth—Tbat since fre there has been a great increase in the value of imports, To make these tully with the exports, the same paper very properly says. Ninth—But above all, freedom has stopped in to stop the — wholesa’ sacrifice of human life. In St. Ann's, in 1817, tho number of persona returned as slaves was three hundred and forty-seven thousand two hundred and thitty, And in 1888, at the advent of freedom, there were only $10,368; showing a deorease in twenty-one years, before boudage, of 36,563, instead of, as one writer says, an increase of 100; Slavery there was # terrible engine of evil, continually demanding and continually receiving more—more for its murderous purposes. It wax reserved for the ninetcenth century, with its sun at meridian, (0 add an unheard fifth to the tetrachord of Solomon, which ery—-‘‘give, give,” and “it is not enough'—and that fifth in the hell of slavery, We fecl as we could accomplish nothing, Politicully we cannot do much; but otherwise something.
