Origin Of Negro Slavery.

Mr. Bancroft, in the FIRST volume OF his history
Of the United States gives an account of the early
traffic Of Europeans in slaves. In the middle ages
the Venetans purchased white men, Christians.
and Others and sold them to the SaFacens in Sicily
and Spain. Ia England, the Ango-Saxon nobility
sold their servants as slaves 10 foreigners. The
Portuguese first imported negro slaves from Wes-
tern Africa into Europe in I442 Spain soon en-
gagged in the traffic, and negro slaves adounded in
some places Of that kingdom. After America was
discovered, the Indians Of Hispanola were import.
ed into Spain and made slaves. The Spaniards
visited the coast ofNouh America and kidnapped
thousands Of the Indians, whom they transported
into slavery in Europe and the West Indies p ioi
Columbus himself enslaved 500 native Ameri-
cans, and sent them into Spain, that they might
be publicly sold at Seville. The practice Of sell
ling North American Indians into foreign bondage
continued for nearly two centuries. Negro slavery
was first introduced into America BY Spanish slave
holders, who emigrated with their negroes A roy
al edict Of Spain authorised negro slavery in Amer
lea in 1903. King Ferdinand himself sent from
Seville so slaves TO labor in the mines. in 1911.
the direct traffic 10 slaves between Africa and His
papiola was enjoined by a royal ordinance Las
Casas who had seen the Indians vanish away like
dew before The cruellies OF the Spaniards suggest
ed the expedient that the negroes. who alone could
endure severe tolls, might be still further employs
ed This was in 1913. The mistaken benevo-
lcnce Of Las Casas extended the slave trade which
had been previously established. sA ire asrt1s
Sir John Hawkins was the 6rst Englishman that
engaged in the slave trade In 1925 he transport
ed large cargo Of Africans 10 Hspanlola. In
1867 another expedition was prepared, and Queen
Elizabeth protected and shared in the traffic.

think Of thee, oh dearest one
Whose love my early life hath bIest-
or thee and hiui-our baby SON
Who slumbers on thy gentle breast
God Of the tender, ffail and lone,
Oh guard that little seePer's rest
And hover, gently hover near
To her whose wa,ehful eye is wet
The mother, wife. the doubly dear.
In whose Young heart have freshly met
Two streams of love, deep and clear
And cheer her dropping spirit yet.
Now a she kneels before Thy throne,
Oh teach her, Ruler Of the skies
That while by Thy behest alone
Ear,h's nighiiest powers fall or rise,
No tear is wePt 10 thee unknown,
No hair is lost no sparrow dies.
That Thou ean'st stay the ruthless hand
OF dark disease, and soothe its pain
That only by Thy stern command
The battles lost the soldiers slain
That from the distant land
Thou bring st the wanderer home again.
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear-wet cheek is sadly pressed,
Sisy happier visions beam upon
The Frightening current Of her breast.
Nor frOwning look, angry tone,
Disturb the sabbath Of her rest.
Wherever Fate those forms may throw,
Loved with passion almost wild,
BY night, by day, in joy or woe,
BY fears oppressed, or hopes beguiled,
From every danger, eseTy foe,
oh, God protect my wife and child

The New Butler Bill.

We publish to-day the new Butter bill, or in other
words the a. fet1 slight 0mendnents,' which Mr.. But
Ter had notified the public necessary in order to
carry into effect the State debt bill of last winter. 1t
will try the patience of readers to do so, but
hope they will nevertheless give it careful perusal
We confess that we are not pleased with some of
the provisions of this bill but il has been de-
creed the law of the land, by those having authority
and so Ear as we concerned, shall submit to its
requirements with all the grace we can command
Whatever may be our fears with regard to it, we
hope its practical effects will be beneficial its
sanguine friends Anticipate.
We shall endeavor, can find time
and space, to present analysis of the act of last
year, as well this, that the provisions of each
may be comprehended by the people.
We observe that some Of the papers have published
the bill it first passed the House 1t will be found,
by an examination of the law we publish it, that
several important amendments were subsequently
made such for instance the requirement of the
completion of the canal to Evansville within six
years under penalty of forfeiture Of Priorities,
and within ten years, under penalty of forfeitng
every thing. Some entertain the opinion that this
provision will cause the bondholders 10 reject the
measure altogether.
