Both in town and country we heard gentlemen repeatedly speak of the slight fastenings to their houses.

A mere lock, or bolt, was all that secured the outside doors, and they might be burst open with ease, by a single man.

In some cases, as has already been intimated, the planters habitually neglect to fasten their doors--so strong is their confidence of safety.

We were not a little struck with the remark of a gentleman in St.John's.

He said he had long been desirous to remove to England, his native country, and had slavery continued much longer in Antigua, he certainly should have gone; but _now_ the _security of property was so much greater in Antigua than it was in England_, that he thought it doubtful whether he should ever _venture_ to take his family thither.

There is not a class, or party, or sect, who do not esteem the abolition of slavery as a _special blessing to them_.
