Quoting an article from the New York
Tribune of Oct. 17, on Jamaica affairs, the
Colouial Staudard of Nov* 4, appends these
comments :
Mr. Horace Greeley has been, it will be
seen from the above article, exercising his
powers eit amiteur on the subject of Jamaica.
As our columns are at present engaged in
the chronicling of events in the history of this
island, which Mr Horace Greeley never
dreamt ol in bis philosophy, and which he
and others like him will uave some difficulty
iu reconciling with certain theories, we have
not room just now to go through with the
easy task of an-wering Mr. Greeley.
We will, however, do so very soon. In the
ineautime the perusal of the article may un
fui row the brows now bent in painful thought,
of our planters, and produce the agreeable
effect in these awlul times of provoking a
smile. It is thanks to such men as Mr.
Horace Greeley, Dr. Underhill and others,
that the poor negroes themselves are deceiv
ed iuto furnishing by their own acts the best
possible arguments agaiust negro freedom.
Boston Commerce— How it Falls Off.—
The Boston Journal has been showing the
decline of commerce in Boston, the chief
port of Massachusetts. It has fallen off jjsGif,—
000,000. or nearly one-tliird part in the past
nine years; and'tbe Journal, says:
“This decline in value has been graduated
through the period indicated, and does not
seem To have been greatly affected by the
war. With an unsurpassed harbor, pleuty
of capital, and au active, entei prising and
industrious population, we are told that
the position of a first class commercial city
is slipping from the grasp o.' its merchants.”
Boston, remarks the New York Express is
a provincial Slate, with prejudices, pas
sions, and idinsyncracies, that make most
liberal men of this cosmopolitan world avoid
her, when they cau. A State that cau make
it pedal for even its barbers to shave ou Sul
day, cannot tempt men there, with beards
A large and influential meeting was held
in Boston ou the 13th, iu the Merchants’
Exchange, in tavor of the immediate Con
structiou of the Northern Pacific Railroad.
Mayor Liucolu presided. Powerful speeches
were made by ex-Gov. Curry of Oregon
and ex-Gov. Fuller ot Utan.

It is not a dye, and differs fiom all other
