Total from the South.

The Wilmington Commercial, in refer
ence to the Abolition Convention at Buff
falo, remarks. .
"The citizens of the Slave States will
perceive that party is making head,
whose success will sea their public doom,
aud that their doctrine is peryading certain
sections Of The Slave States.
The subjec is Of vast importance, and,
we presume. will be treated by the South
according TO the strength the new party
NAV acquire. The election in November
will develope that strength sufficiently, al
least, for us to know what may be appre
hended from their future operations
Should i, NO, be apparen: enough, TO give
reasonable ground for alarm, We trust the
harmony Of the Union will no, be dis.
turbed.
But should The security of the South, in
her political or other privileges, he put in
jeopardy, we hope Southern Conven.
ton wiil be called, composed of men who
will calmly and firmly assert our rights
That the people will unite in fixing upon
what is best TO be done, and do it. We
have no consequences to dread so fatal TO
our peace as the Onward march of pow
er thai will control our destiny, under the
present Union; our political influence will
be destroyed, and our social harmony be
constantly in peril"

THE MEXICAN LAW RELATING
TO SLAVERY.

A correspondent of the New York Herr
aid gives the following account NTH laws
of Mexico in relation to slavery.
The Penn-ism referred TO, though no.,
nominally slavery, is in fact, the most
grinding. oppressive. intoierable form of it,
on The face Of The earth. with the excep-
tion Of the while slavery in The Cornwall
Coal Mines and British Factories, which
is probably as bad. With neither of these
can the Southern system be compared for
q moment, either 10 its features or effects
tIn 1924. the Congress Of hlexico abol
ishcd the slave trade, but no, ihe domestic
institution of slavery. In 1929 Barradas
fitted out an expedition against Mexico for
the porl Of Havana. In this emergency,
Congress invested Guerrero, then Presi-
dent elected in October IS2S) with dic,a-
,orial powers, TO adopt such speedy and
decisive measures as would ensure The
public safety. II was on this occasion that
Santa Anna. then young soldier, gained
his first lanres, having totally defeated
Baradas at Tampico in 1925. Guerrero,
during his dictatorship. actuaed probably
by prudential motives, issued decree abo-
fishing negro slavery in Mexico. This de-
cree was then regarded as the law of the
land. and has ever since been acquiesced
in So far as appears, there has been no
attempt to nullify il. II was not worth
while. McCuloch's statistical estimates
represent The number Of blacks in Mexico
in 1910 as amounting 10 not over six thou
sand.
II is contended, first-ihat the general
government Of Mexico had no right 10 in,
terfere with the subject of slavery in The
States: and secondly, that dictatorial pow
ers were conferred on Guerrero, merely
with a view 10 the prompt adoption OF
measures necessary TO the public safety;
and that therefore his decree abolishing
slavery not heing. necessary to the public
safety was an unwa:rauted stretch of pow
er, and consequently null and void. But
on the other hand, ii will be urged with
much force, that the legality Of the decree
has been acquiesced in for nineteen years
by the people Of Mexico. and that during
ina, time. slavery hay never existed legal
Iy in that country. Peonism, as have
said hf former communication. cannot
be regarded as slavery, but rather as ser
vi,ude fol. debt. -. -, /. -,
