THE CLOSE OF THE YEAIt 1701.
With these enormities terminated the
disastrous year 1701 Just before Christ
mas, the three civil commissioners noini
t.afcd by the National Assembly for St.
Domingo arrived at Capo Franco'n. i
They proclaimed a general amnesty '
aud pardon to all nho should d sist from
act ol insubordination, and who would
subscribe to tho n w Constitution. This
proposition was disproved by the Colonial
Assembly and by all parties. Tho com
missioners then left tho island, in which
they found themselves powerless and dis
rcspui'tcd. Hy tho white inhabitants, a
general amnesty to the men of color and
rovoltcd slaves was considered as n justifi
cation of tho most horrible attiocitios. and
as holding out a dangerous example to
such of the negroes as presorved their
fidelity. The mulattoes received the de
cree of the commissioners with contempt
and iudiguity, as it annulled their favorite
decree of tho lo.h of May. At Petit
Gonvc, tho free colored persons were master-,
and held in close con fieineut thirty
four white persons, whom thoy reserved
for vengeance On tho publication of this
amii'sly, they led them to exuti'in ; but
instead ofputtiug them to immediate death,
they caused caeh of them to bo broken
alive, and, in tho midst of their torturo-
read to them, in a strain of diabolical
mockery, the proclamation, affecting to
consider it as a pardon for the cruelties
thoy had just committed.

That tho Abolitionists are in favor of
prosecuting the war for their love of the

object is to abolish slavery only, and if
that should fail they will again specdly

less fortunate companions in arms, who
have laid down their lives to hold iuvio
late the ties of a mighty nation, and ban
ish forever tho hand of treason that seeks
its overthrow, and whose solo object is to
build a despotic empire on its ruins.
1 still feel assured that the nation is
competent to perforin the tusk imposed
upon it, and that ere long peace, at the

traitors, will once moro crown our shores
