recent evidence shows three States to be in the most
hopeless condition which hays been most depeadeat
on slave labour; and that the richest and freshest
soils have not averted ruin where slavery has buff
most thoroughly worked. It is true that all the
world knows that it is not labour which is the defi-
cient element in the South, but that capital has
always failed of doe reproduction there, owing to the
wasteful quality of the labour. All this is true and
thoroughly known ; but it does not necessarily
follow that the Southern States will not actually
attempt a revival of the Slave Trade. Something
must be done. They are sinking in fortunes, and
threatened with political reverses. The idea of sir-
rendering their peculiarities is intolerable; and to
form a small Union among themselves without some
distinctive new policy, they know to be hopeless.
They have but too much reason, as recent incidents 11
have shown, to rely on the services of slave traders
in New York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. For 1
these and other reasons it seems too probable that
some attempt may be made to evade or defy the 11
Federal interdict of the African slave trade; and if
so, it would be no comfort to the rest of the world to
know beforehand that at this time of day, and in
the vicinity of the most prosperous free labour in the
world, the experiment must turn out ruinous. We
have done and suffered much to extinguish the African
Slave Trade, and it is our duty to let no movement
towards its revival pass unheeded. The old
excuse—that the Americans inherited negro slavery
hom us—wee annihilated when the Missouri com-
promise was repealed. A new and deliberate choice
of slave institutions was then made ; and the present
movement is a spontaneous confirmation and repo-
tition of that choice.

If the scheme hawses more or loss practical, the
North will be on the side of judos and humanity.
The unworthy among its traders will betake them-
selves to Southern ports,as the wisest and beet of the
Southern population will migrate to the North. The
Southern Union, if it should take plum, will be the

even in Napieriam to boredom, against which Sir

That, we suppose, is impossible ; and certainly the

only allowed freedom, to rival the point of growth to
which Sir CHARLES has reached in his old age. It
is not a pleasing spectacle under any circumstances
to see a young man quarrelling with en old one ;
and mast young men of good taste manage to
sacrifice their feelings and subdue their passions
rather than enter on so unseemly a contest. The

it was for older and better men than Sir ROBERT

which nothing it seems can teach Sir Cum=
NAPIER.
At all events it might have been supposed that one
such offence against good taste would have been
