FUTURE POLICY RECOMMENDED. 53 
the best, and the only secure one for the Colony; 
British Kaffraria is steadily advancing in civi- 
lization : the colonists are yet loyal, energetic, 
and enterprising ; and the local Government of 
the country is vested in a local Parliament. 
Let this be but followed up, and extended; 
divide the Colony, by giving to each province 
its own local houses of assembly; increase 
the population of the Eastern province by emi- 
gration ; oppose British industry to savage indo- 
lence, by filling up, compactly, the whole of "the 
Eoyal Beserve," in British Kaffraria, with these 
immigrants ; encourage the extended organiza- 
tion of a colonial militia and yeomanry force ; 
and, at the same time, keep a sufficient body of 
British troops in British Kaffraria — the Colony 
paying for them ; and then no more Kaffir wars 
will occur ; then the colonists will remain loyal ; 
commerce will increase; civilization will become 
established, and, as a necessary consequence, it 
will extend among the natives, and, in its wake, 
Christianity will enter, and, it is reasonably to 
be expected, take possession of their hearts. 
This is not the mere theory of invention, but 
it is the confirmed conviction of our mind, 
after many years sojourn in South Africa, to- 
gether with very close and silent observation 
of the working of society there, and the rights 
and requirements of all classes of its inhabitants.
