From the Ccsktt. A TALE OF ST. DOMIXtiO.
Theie seems to me to be a slril
resemblance betwee.i slave-holding
vr-!canic countries. Though the inb
tianls may be blessed with every enjoyment depending upon the soil and clim ile, yet in the very bowels of the land
there arc constantly Ihe elements of
destruction. Even while we are most happy and secure, the volcano may be upon the point of bursting forth with overwhelming ruin, which no foresight
can anticipate, and no prudence avert, Such was the state of St. Domingo, at the opening of my tale; on the eve of that fearful insurrection which consign- , d so nrmy unsuspecting beings to prex nature death, or drove them from their 3ine and kiodrsd, to struggle with
