All the places of worship were crowded; indeed, thrice the number would not have contained those who attended, and many of whom could not be accommodated.
From the Cornwall Chronicle of Aug.

4.
Nothing could give a fairer and fuller confidence in the character of the negroes than their conduct on so joyous and trying an occasion, as what they have exhibited during the brief period of their political regeneration.

It may be considered as an earnest of their future peaceable demeanor; the disbelief of the sceptic will thus be put to the blush, and the apprehensions of the timid allayed.

The first of August has passed, and with it the conduct of the people has been such as to convince the most jealous, as well as the most sanguine of the evil prognosticators, that they are a good and trust-worthy people.

There is no doubt but that this day will be held for ever as a sacred anniversary--a new Pentecost--upon which they will render thanks for the quiet "possession of their Canaan"-- free from all political oppressions, and that they can suffer only from the acts of their own indiscretion.
If ever they were placed in a favorable situation which they could improve, it could not have been equal to the present .-- The exercise of moderation, however, is now most required, and will be greatly appreciated to themselves at a future time.
