We are confident that no man can _see_ him without being impressed with his rare combination of excellences.
[Footnote A: We learn from the Jamaica papers, since our return to this country, that Mr.Hill has been elected a member of the Assembly.] Having said thus much respecting the political advancement of the colored people, it is proper to remark, that they have by no means evinced a determination to claim more than their share of office and influence.

On the contrary, they stop very far short of what they are entitled to.

Having an extent of suffrage but little less than the whites, they might fill one third of the seats in the Assembly, whereas they now return but four members out of forty-five.

The same may be said of other offices, particularly those in the city of Kingston, and the larger towns, where they are equal to, or more numerous, than the whites.

It is a fact, that a portion of the colored people continue at this time to return white members to the Assembly, and to vote for white aldermen and other city officers.
