This statement or opinion I must explain and prove, and I intend attempt- ing to do so, At the very outset I wish to state my con- viction that no ono class of this mixed population is to blame alone. Zach has its share. Society in Jamaica is composed of three inharmonious elements, namely—whites, browns and blacks. The first and last can get along pretty well, but the brown is an element of perpetual discord. The colored people, ag this intermediate class is called, hate the one and despise the other class of their fellow citizens. They enter- tain the doctrine that they are destined.to be the ruling race, and that the whites are im their way. The latter understand this perfectly wel. Now, if the whites were to abandon the island the colored class would undoubtedly succeed fora time to. the govern- ment, but only for a time; for though the blacks aro at present totaily unfit for self-government, yet their hatred. and contempt for the coiored people would one day or other break out into open revolt, and a general massacre of the latter would be inovitabie. The proportion of black to colored is six to one, But present ambition ig the controlling idea among the colored. They do not look forward to their ultimate extinction; perhaps they do not even believe it porsible, since their class has. sar- vived in Hayti, where at present they monopolize pollti- eal power. In accordance with this state of things, we may well agree with every white resident in Jamaica, that the late insurrection was the direct work of ambi- tious colored men, and indirectly of the whole colored population. It can be eaily imagined how these two eléments distike and distros? cach other, The state of society in Jamaica is, therefore, in a most deplorable condition; and though the biacks, if left to.themselves, would never revolt against tho whites, yet they have been tutored and played upon so Tong that they may now be said to bein aclironic state of disaffection and ready to revolt even against “Buckra,” as they ettil term the white man.
