THE SLAVE TRADE.

The Americans have begun to advocate the re-
opening of the slave trade. The following articles
—the first from the Neig Orleans Delta, and the
second from the Carolina Times—represent the
sentiments of a large body of people in the South
" We have more than once referred to the necessity of
introducing slavery into Nicaragua as the only means by
wbich Walker and his followers could consolidate and perpetuate their new republic, because, from the nature of it,' climate and products, the Anglo-American•settlers
were unable to cultivate the soil profitably themselves,
and the native mongrel inhabitants were almost totally
worthless and inefficient as free labourers. We also alluded
t siguificant assurances we had received from authorised
sources, that Walker designed, as soon as he could pru-
dently do so, to publicly legalise slavery within his do.
minions, and invite slaveholders to emigrate thither with
their slaves. We knew some weeks since that a decree to
this effect had been drawn up, and we now learn that it
has be,en promulgated. We confidently pronounce it the
wisest, most prescient, and statesmanlike act of his admin-
istration. It is the one thing needful. Without it vain
would have been his conquest, vain his invincible army,
vain his reconstruction of government and t eformation of
commerce. Without an efficient labour system as a basis
all must, soi nor or later, have faded away, like the unsub-
stantial fabric of a vision. Numbers of slaveholders have
already written to us to know if they could safely take their
slaves into Nicaragua to cultivate sugar, coffee,rice,
or chocolate plantations, as the case might be. We
have always assured our correspondents that, though
slaves were not recognised by law in Nicaragua, we bad
no doubt that they would be secured to their owners
during Walker's Administration, and that ultimately
slavery would have an established existence there of law
as well as fact. They will now find that our confidence
in Walker's sagacity and statesmanship was not misap-
plied. He did not fail to see the necessity which we
early pointed out, and, like a bold statesman, he now
responds to its demand. There is another step further
along, however, more difficult it may be, but scarcely
less important as a prime au:ilia:l, in making the first
effective—that is, opening Nicaragua to the African
slave trade. We have not time here to elaborate, but
a glance at the statistics of slavery will show the
great impedance ef the measure. Labour is in too great
demand in our Southern States to allow many to be with-
drawn for Nicaragua ; the collie trade, devised by Bri-
tish policy, and carried on by Boston philanthropists,
Is too hypocritical, too treacherous and inhuman for the
civilisers of Central America to think of for a moment;
and therefore the African slave trade and African sla-
very, conducted on humane principles and regulased by
law, must have the preference over every other form of
compulsory labour."
