HORRORS OF THE SLAVE TRADE.

The Salem Register has information of the capture
Of three slavers by the British steamer Thunderbot-
One had on board 600 slaves, another SAG making in
all 1855
The South Africa Commercial Advertiser, Of 9th
January says that in some of the shaving vessels recen
y captured, the space between decks where the living
cargo was slowed away was so small that young chill
dren boys and girls from eight 10 years of age, could
not creep in on their hands and knees-hey were push
ed H. or, lying fiat On their faces crawled in like
worms
This is the system Of humanity advocated by the fed
eral candidate for the Presidency and Supported by his
friends The phianlhrophic editor ofthe Gazette, who
short time since pledged himself not only to oppose
slavery in the abstract, bG to oppose the elevation of
Shareholders to Office is now supplying man whosede.
clared principles would justify such revolving cruelty
was perpetraed by the inhuman monsters noted above.
Henry Clay has declared that ifhe cannot have black
slaves he must be permitted to have white ones, for he
and his southern friends cannot think of cutting their
own wood and let their wives and daughters work in
the Kitchen. The slavers that have been seized by the
Thunderbolt, could not utter more revolving excuse
for their honid calling, and we would think but little
worse OF them than we would of the editor who nowith
standing his professions Of opposition to slavery permits
Henry Clay's inhuman sentiments to pass unrebuked

The coon is an animal filthy in its habits, and no use
.an be made of it until after is dead lis skin, the
ny valuable part OF the animal is sent from the United
States to Russia, and sold to that gorernmentto be
sed as clothing for the Russian stahding army.
1t is prowling, cbwardly, petty thief skulkins by
lay and committing petty larceny by night and is the
terror Of old womeh because ot midnight depredaons
mong hen-roosts Such is the dnirha the federal party
have chosen as emblamatir Of their principles, and they
have chosen well.
To the democracy, the wings have assigned TIE
chickencock, as an emblem OF our principles AT the
earliest peep of dawn the clear, loud notes of Chap
man is heard ringing forth its joy that light is about
overspread the earth AT early eve being no friend to
darkness it retires with the to rest 1t skulks from
danger and readily does battle in defence of its priv
eges. 1t is no thief and certainly not coward, for it
would crow forth defiance 20 the assembled world
There is'nUthihg mean or skulking in its nature
At the battle on Lake Champlain, when the British
and American fleets were enveloped in the smoke of
battle cannon ball Knocked to pieces a chickencoop
one ofthe American vessels. An old chicken cock
who thus owed his escape from bondage, Immediately
flew upon One ofthe fnass at every interval between
the roaring Of the cahn6n, The gallant cock crowed forth
its notes of defiance and of victory As so6h as this
was perceived the sailors greeted the noble Chapman
with cheers, and though the bullets flew thick and fast
around him. STILL in the carnage ofhat dreadful battle
the gallant bird kept its post until our tars triumph

Thus twill be seen thi. in giving the chcken-cock
to the democracy and the coon to themselves as an en-
blem, the federal party are honest than usual
They have gwen us robe, an honest, and patriotic

The election of a Chief Magistrate of a
