Case Of Betto Douglas, A St. Kitt's Slave - United States - Slave Population Of West Indies. We have before us the official details, (No. 187 of 1st May, 1827, ) as recently printed by order of the House of Commons, of a case from the Island of St. Kitt's, which affords some striking illustrations of the spirit and influence of slavery - not merely as it prompts the master to acts of cruelty and oppression, but as it operates to subvert and vitiate the best sympathies of our nature, to such an extent as to render slaveholders, generally speaking, unfit to discharge the functions of legislation or of judicature towards the enslaved population. The particulars of the present case are as follow: - Betto Douglas is a Mulatto slave, about fifty-two years of age, belonging to the Earl of Romney. Some years previous to the present transactions she had requested Mr. Goldfrap, one of Lord Romney's attorneys on his estates in St. Christopher's, to solicit for her the proprietor's permission to be allowed to purchase the freedom of her two sons. The request was complied with; and this poor slave had the delight of thus securing the freedom of her offspring, probably under an impression that she might not live long enough to effect her own liberation as well as theirs. Mr. Goldfrap, in a letter to Governor Maxwell states, that he had on that occasion strongly recommended Betto Douglas to Lord Romney's favourable consideration, which recommendation his lordship seemed to construe as a wish that she should be manumitted; and, as Mr Goldfrap, who at that time ceased to be his agent, understood, had issued orders to his new attorney to that effect. Several years however elapsed, and no steps for her enfranchisement were taken. She had been allowed to reside in a house, apart from the estate, but was obliged, by the new agent, to pay a certain sum (three dollars and a half) per month to Lord Romney. The following is her own account when interrogated before the magistrates: - "Mr Cardin told me I must go and work out for three and half dollars a month. I told him I was not able to give that price: and he would insist, and I went. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It debases, demoralizes, and sinks man to a level with the brute. The abject wretchedness of the unfortunate slave is only contrasted by the petulant tyranny of his master - this petulance and this tyranny he fancies himself entitled to manifest to, and exercise over, every man whose complexion is not white. Accustomed as he is to lord it with a high hand over his black and coloured slaves, he considers himself equally entitled to domineer over the black and the coloured freemen; hence, has arisen the con tempt and contumely with uhich they have been, and Will continue to be treated, so long as slavery exists.

For his sake therefore, as well as for the sake of those to whom his letter is addressed, we will now transcribe the passage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anti-Slavery Monthly Reporter: March 31, 1827 These evils, we admit, do not originate in the bounties and protecting duties, though they are aggravated by them. They have their origin in Slavery itself, a more deadly enemy tenfold to all improvement than even the caste of Hindostan. A blight seems to follow its steps. The very soil which the slave tills seems cursed with progressive bar renness. And while, under the judicious culture of freemen, soils'are found to improve; no soil, however fertile, can resist the deteriorating effects of slave cultivation. One obvious cause of this is, that slaves eat no beef, and wear no shoes. There is, therefore, no call for that quantity of cattle, which, both by their manure, and by that change of crops which their due sustenance renders necessary, serves to renew the fertility of the soilq' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anti-Slavery, Monthly Reporter, Vol. 4: Commencing January 1831, and Ending December 1831 Of nine stripes will make the infliction Of a larger number Of rate occurrence. That planters should have thus talked and thus counselle'd was only en regle but that a British general, the governor of a British colony, the representative of a British monarch, should have listened to such counsel, and sanctioned such views, is indeed astonishing and most deplorable. We are ashamed to read such passages as these, and to know that men capable Of assenting to them, and of pleading for them without a blush, are British functionaries Of the highest class; and that the country which can degrade itself by tolerating a state of things requiring such Opprobrious discussions is Great Britain. This state of things cannot be much longer endured. Every principle we profess as Christians every sentiment we are taught to cherish as Britons; and every feeling which belongs to humanity itself, rise up in arms against it, and seal its doom. The decree has gone forth, and must be obeyed. On this point the voice Of the British nation will be heard and will be found irresistible. And let us remember that these are not dubious details Of controverted facts; they are recorded proofs, Official documents, undeniably establishing, beyond the reach Of controversy or refutation, all we have ever asserted of this vile, and vicious, nay, diabolical system.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anti-Slavery, Vol. 3: Monthly Reporter; Commencing June 1829, and Ending December 1830 So much space has recently been occupied in discussing the question of a want of a Sunday for the slaves; and in pointing out the miserably defective nature of that education and religious instruction they are said to be receiving that we fear lest our readers should begin to imagine that these constitute the exclusive evils of colonial slavery, and that, if these were but obviated, the work of reformation would be accomplished. This were a fatal misconception. The prevailing want of a Sunday is, indeed, most adverse to the hope of christianizing the slave population, and it reveals, at the same time, the insincerity of those, who, while they either conceal the fact of this compulsory desecration of the Sabbath, or resist or postpone the measures necessary for its prevention, are nevertheless loud, both in the profession of their zeal for the religious instruction of the slaves, and in the boast of the religious improvement that has been effected among them. But, even if a Sabbath were at length given to the slaves, and more efficient plans of instruction were adopted, little benefit would accrue, even from these improvements, under a system so debasing and brutalizing in its character and effects, and so incompatible with the purity and elevation of christianity, as is that species of personal bondage which exists in the slave colonies of Europe. For be it remembered, that even the British Critic has not scrupled to describe that system as one by which "the whole order of nature is reversed; the labourer being excited to labour, not by hope, but by fear; punishments inflicted in England by the magistrate for crimes, being inflicted there by the master for idleness or impertinence; the supply of daily food, and the maintenance of wife and children not being dependent on the exertion, self-denial, skill, or good character of the individual;christian marriage being almost unknown; the human form divine being treated as if it were no better than a brute or a machine; degraded to a chattel, seized by the creditor, sold in the market-place, and exposed to every indignity which tyranny or caprice may dictate."

This fact is so far from having been denied, that it has been fully and freely admitted. Nay, it stands prominently forward as the very ground on which, in 1823, the men of 1792 and of 1807 formed themselves into a Society, for the avowed purpose of abolishing slavery in every part of the British dominions.

It bears the date of March, 1832, and is perhaps one of the most important publications which have been issued under that title. It is distinguished by its fidelity and boldness. We feel that we cannot render a more essential service to the cause of humanity and truth than by largely analysing its contents. Let it be kept in mind that this work is published in Jamaica, is addressed to the community of that Island, and challenges contradiction on the spot.
