From the Mass. Abolitionist.
CONSUL TRIST.

The United States have functionary at Ha.
vana who is probably doing more to facilitate the
African slave trade, than ever has been done, or
ever will be done, to check it by the Colonization
Society A single day of his operations, we
doubt not brings into slavery more humaY be-
ngs than Colonization ever helped out of it. 1t
would take several hundred such colonies as lii
IBERIA to make any Instructions to his operations.
1t is time that abolition steam-power was applied
to the piston of our Federal Government MACH.
merry in sufficient force to move such elons to the
quarters where they belong The Great West
ern brings intelligence that the matter is causing
proper sensation on the other side of the water,
and we shall watch with great interest the con-
duct of our Northern President, with Southern
principles" both in the case of consul Trist and
the Amity. Shall the civilized world be dsap-
pointed
On the 3ls of December, 1898, Mr.. Theoph-
Ius Barker, British consul for the Cape de Verd
Islands, wrote to his Government as follows:
have heard from the last American vessel
that arrived at this place. that the American con.
sui, Nicholas F. Trst, will be removed from the
consulate at Havana.-EIe ought TO behaving
granted, to my knowledge, more than ten false
bills of sale of vessels and passes to these is
lands"
That this may be understood, it may be necess-
airy TO state, that the American vessels engaged in
the trade, resort in great numbers to the Cape de
Verbs, where they change their flag, and bya
fraudulent sale, are for the time converted into
Portuguese Or Spanish vessels and thus get a
double set of papers. If overaken by British
cruiser, they are American vessels, and cannot
be searched; if by any wonder, they should be-
spoken by an American cruiser, they are Spanish
or Portuguese.
The following item has probably grown out of
the more recent operations of Consul Trist:
Look at this We learn that the Campbell.
formerly u S. Revenue Cutter, has been sold
at Havana for the slave trade, and on her arrival
there from New Orleans, will be sent to Africa
for load of human flesh, under the sar-spangled
banner! We further learn that since Dec. last,
twenty-three ueSSels, under the american flag,
hare left Harana TO engage IN the same infamous
trafic!! Can nothing be done by the U. S.
Government to protect itself from this foul dis
grace, and Africa from such tremendous wrongs3
Jour. Of Com.
Yes; we reply to the Journal of Commerce,
let the U. S. honestly carry out its action against
slavery, and the trade, to the extent of its const
tutional power, and all will follow. The axe

From the Emancipation.
Trsn1Jod

One evening last week, we attended meeting
ofctizens ofcolor called to inquire into the expedi-
ency of abandoning their country, and emigrating
to the island of Trinidad The subject is assum-
ing an importance which is not generally realized
We cannot wonder that many Americans of color
grow impatient under their wrongs, and long to
abandon country which treats its native chill
dren with such relentless cruelty. Indeed, we
have sometimes thought that it might be a Just
and at the same time mercltul as well as APP
proprate revenge, were the three and halt mill
ions of American defendants of Africa to take
the nation at its word and under some sable Mo-
ses, move off en- maSse to Mexico and the West
Indies. Perhaps nothing could SO effectually
convince our money-lovng countrymen of their
present folly, as the sudden withdl awment of
one-fourh part of the available labour of the coun-
try. 1t would be the greatest blow upon our po-
litcal, commercial and agricultural interests that
could be struck-more destructive than half a
dozen wars But we hope better things. As
native Americans feeling deep attachment to
the land of our fathers, and ready to peril every
thing for its true honor and advancement, we
earnestly desire our in ured fellow-counrymen to
bear up under the peculiar unequal burdens thrown
upon them, and stand firm in the determination
to save the country, or perish in its fall AS abo-
litionists, too, pledged to our enslaved brethren,
"as bound with them," we call upon our brethren
of kindred descent, who are nominally free, to
bear their just part in Fastening the day of uni
versal emancipation (which they can do in no way
so efectually as by continuing in the country. We
also take this opportunity of recalling to the minds
or our brethren, the sentiment, worthy of imper-
ishable renown, beyond all Greek, all Roman
fame" which was adopted by the great meeting
of people of color at the Bethel church in Phila-
delphia, in January, 1917, shortly after the form
alton of the American Colonization Society,"
Perhaps that resolution has not ofIate been brought
forward so frequently as it ought. We find it in
Garrison's Thoughts on Colonization Part l, p. 8.
Resolved, That WE WILL NEVER SEP
ARATE OURSELVES FROM THEsSLAVEI
IN THIS COUNTRY; they
are our brethren by the ties of consangunity, of
and of wrong; and we feel that there isl

TIONS WITH THEM, than fancied advantsg-

We also copy an extract Of letter from the
venerabl bishop Richard Allen, which was pub
lished twelve years ago by brother Cosnish, nI
his &" Freedoms Journal" The excellent old bish-
op says;

Jaws View:

The unjust and cruel war, which has been
for few years past waged against the Indians Of
Florida, had its origin in Slavery The circum.
stances were these "A female slave, number
of years ago. escaped from Georgia into Florida,
and was married by an Indian. In process Of
time the daughter of this pair became the wife of
Oceola, the far-famed Indian Chief. The propri-
etor of the fugitive, or person holding his claim
after her death, ascertained that the wife of Oceo-
la was her daughter in person, or by proxy, seized
her in an unguarded moment, dragged her into
Georgia, and made her slave. The great and
greatly injured son ofthe forest resolved on re-
venge and pursuing his kidnapper, avaied him
self of an opportunity to shoot him through the
heart" A cry was at once raised against the I'M
happy Indians and the blood hounds of war let
loose upon them. And thus commenced an exter-
warfare which, besides the misery which
it has occasioned, and the lives it has sacrificed,
land northern officers and privates have been
draoped to the South to be shot down by Indian
rifles or sicken and die in Florida marshes,) has
already cost our government an amount of money,
equal to two dollars for every man, woman and
child in the country. fair proportion of this
money has come out of northern purses. Have
we then nothing to do with system which, with

rockets, and distracted from the purse of every
;itizen with a family of six nearly twelve dollars,

the following appeal in the case, which, coming
