For THE National Vim,

AS Il IS generally conceded that the Wings
will have the majority in the next House Of
Representatives, the election OF officers, as is
natural. begins already to be subject of much
! speculation. But must confess that il was
with considerable surprise that observed in
your paper of last evening, that, the present
Locoioco incumbent, Mr.. French, "counted
upon certain success provided the Wing ma
torlty shall not be over ten votes' Now upon
what grounds he predicts am at loss to d.
vine, unless indeed it be for complying with
the scrlptural command, which saith that, "ev-
cry man shall provide for his own household"
Certainly Mr.. French. though he may have
forgotten every other command in religion,
and rule in politics, has not forgotten this, for
in an office numbering about dozen men, he
has no less than three near connections and of
course il would be rather inconvenient that this
monopoly Of public pap should be broken up.
But | think, if Mr.. French calculates upon a
lre-election, he has reckoned without his host
There are numerous Wing candidates for the
office, and if the Wings have the majority
believe with your correspondent, that one Of
that number will be selected, who is good and
true, and that he will receive the unanimous
and undivided Wing vote Of the House. E.

An interesting debate upon the African
Slave Trade. occurred in the House Of Com
mons on the 9th Of July, on a motion 10 ap-
propriate flOO.000 for the support Of the Bu-
tlsh cruisers on the Coast Of Africa. Mr..
Bosihwick said, that the system now pursued
by the British Government 10 suppress The
Slave Trade by means Of cruisers. had who'll
ly tailed-that instead of allpyiaiing the hor-
rors Of the middle passage, it had increased
them; that it was impossible to guard effect
ually 1900 miles of coast with the vessels
employed in that scrvice-lhat the slave steal
ers, 10 elude the war vessels on the coast.
have their vessels built fn5 fast sailing. and
consequently the holds into which the negroes
are placed were so compact and compressed,
that the mortality on the passage WAS greatly
Increased. In lSOG, the number OF a slave
cargo was thought enornous it it was G2U.-
The mortality was estimated at FROM 3 to 10
per cent. The mortality at the present time
six or seven hundred per cent Out Of COO
slaves taken on board on the coast, not more
than 100 or geo were landed alive. This in
crease of mortality threw an impeachment in
the way Of African civilization.
The accounts Of Africa, written Mt the be-
ginning OF the 10th century, speak Of the
country, before it was r~esorted to hy the
slave s~tealers, as comparatively civilized
The people Of Guinea understood commerce..
and TO a certain degree art fourished amoug
them. AT one time, the king of Timbuctoo
was spoken Of as a patron of literature.
MI. Hume stated that the Anli-Sllvery So
ciety were NOW convinced that the system
was attended with great mischief
Lord Palmerston, in reply, showed that
the horrors Of the trade had not increased, but
had very much decreased, and that to with
draw the fleet from the coast at this time,
would be to give an impetus TO the slave
trade, greater than it had ever before received.
One Of the speakers stated that during the
past year. $1,000 slaves had been imported
into Brazil from Africa, from which ii was
computed that more than 100000 must have
left the shores of that country, and $4,000
must have died on the passage. Lord Pal
merston well characterized the traffic as one
above the power of any gentleman to dus-
cribe, and which would make every man
shudder to contemplate The appropriation
was carried without a division.

American Slavery.

Domestic slavery, that plague-spot on the
American character, has just been crowned
with the keystone of its iniquity. The "
mprican government, not satisfied with per-
hitting its citizens to make mPrcha ndise Of
their fellow-men, not deferred from the mi
guilty by the sneers of civilized mar in every
country of the world-the American Govern
meni, lowering its position in the scale of
nations, and degrading itself in the eyes of
the world, has become the auctloneer of its
own subjects, and those subjects women -
\ eS, two women, mother and daughter-the
one sixty, the oIher twenty-have been pub
licly offered for sale in the streets Of Wash
ington, to satisfy the demands of a depart
ment of the public service! Iniquity, like
every thing else, has a boundary beyond
which it cannot go unchecked and surely
that point is now reached. A nation so de-
PRAYED must lose the position 10 which its
natural importance would otherwise entille
it; and a Government so morally degraded
is incapable of soothing the worlds univer-
sal torrent OF eXecrHiion. The President
whom Moore described was, it seems, but d
type of the community
The weary Statesman for repose hath fled
From halls of council to his negro's shed,
Where, blest, he woos some black Aspasia's
grace,
And dreams of freedom in his slaves en-
brace.
We are, however, sorry indeed to believe that
the groundwork of this subject is unquestion-
able fact. Slavery forms the pivot on which
turns every calumny and every falsehood Ut
tered against the noble principles of Repub-
licanism. Every one who believes in the
holiness of monarchy, and sneers at the de-
pravity of a republic, finds a reason for the
faith that is in him in the fact that, while
England is free from the curse, America is
the very hot-bed of Slavery. And the con-
clusion is plausible enough, for those who do
not penetrate beneath the surface of things
We, however, are not the less believers in
the justice of republican Government, be-
cause 4 republic praclises so revolving a crime
against the dignity of the human race. We
admire their principles, but we detest their
practice. The liberty they profess we advo-
cate, but the slavery they practise we de-
nounce. Bat if we who live in England,
denounce their crimes, with what admiration
must We view the struggles Of those men
who in their own coun,.y have the moral
courage to beard the upholders Of the system!
And we should be sorry TO close our obser-
v%ations without awarding our praise TO the
few men in the Union who struggle in oppo-
sition not only to the inclinatlons, but to the
interests of the majority.

slaves, and not with their oppressors; or

From the LibcraiOr.
The Scottish AbOIitiOniStS and the Rev
Alexander Campbell.

We have given several extracts from Scot
fish papers relative to the encounters between
the Reverend defender of slavery above nam
ed, and the faithful abolitionists of Scotland.
We have many extracts, taken from those
papers, and especially from the Glasgow
Christian News, touching this matter, which
have been postponed, if they will not be f.
nally excluded, by the press of fresher mat.
ter and the memorable limits Of our sheet
The conflict has been a most exciting and in
teresting one, and must have an excellent eff
feet in keeping alive in the minds of the peo-
pie of Scotland a fresh remembrance of the
slave, and in giving them a vivid notion of
what American abolitionisls mean, when they
call the Church the Forlorn Hope Of Slavery.
We must say however, that Mr.. Campbell
has honorably distinguished himself from the
tribe of Coxes, Beechers, Marshes, Ct ID &C.
