THE SLAVE TRADE.

The Americdne have begun to advocate the re-
opening of the slave trade. The following articles
—the -first from .tlre Neu, 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
which Walker and his followers could consolidate and
perpetuate their new republic, because, from the nature
of its 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
to significant 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 sliveholders 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 been promulgated. We confidentlS, 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 reformation of
cotatnerce. Without an efficient labour system as a basis
all must, sopner 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, indigo,
or chocolate plantations, as the case might be. We
have always assured our correspondents that, theugh
slaves were not recognised by law in Nicaragua, we had
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 oat, 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 auxiliary 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 importance of the measure. Labour is in too great
demand in our Southern States to allow many to be with-
drawn for Nicaragua ; the coolie trade, devised by Bri-
tish pAcy, and carried on by Boston philanthropists,
is too hypocritical, too treacherous and inhuman for the
eivilisers of Central America to think of lir a moment ;
and therefore the African slave trade and African sla-
very, conducted one h principles and regulated by
a.w, must have the preerence over every other form of
Compulsory labour.'

(From tics Carolina Times, Oct. 27.)
"The decree which has recently been issued by Gene-
ral Walker, President of the Republic of Niciragua,
re-tstahlishing the institution of slavery, and inviting
the importation of negroes, is now attracting; much
attention. For our own part we are highly pleased,
for we are decidedly in favour of re-opening the slave-
trade, in order that the price of negrees may be reduced
to such figures that every industiious poor man may pm,
chase amt become a slaveholder. We regard the course
pursued by General Walker as not only correct, but
as challenging the approval of the entire mass of people
inhabiting the Southern States, and we believe that they
will Nustain him in the position he has assumed. Hoping
and believing that the confederacy now known as the
United States of North America will soon be dissolved,
we look upon this movement of General Walker as that
of a Eitatesm an, and we hope the day is not far distant
when Central America, embracing the island of Cuba,
will form part of the Southern confederacy."
