BRAZILIAN LAW AGAINST THE SLAVE TRADE.
The Brazilian law against the Slave Trade went
into operation the 4th of September last by decree of
the Emperor. By this decree Brazilian men-of-war
ordered to special efforts to seize slavers
and 10 hand over their crews and officers to the
civil tribunals for trial. The ships and cargoes are
TO be sold at auction, and the proceeds after de-
Quoting $40 for the expense of sending back to AZ
rca each recaptured negro, divided as prize money
among the officers and crew of the ship making the
capture. The party denouncing SLAYER to the
Government is also to share in the prize money.
No Brazilian vessel is be allowed to clear for the
Coast Of Africa without the owners giving security
that it shall not take slaves on board. The intro.
duction of slaves into any part of the Empire is
made piracy, and punishable with death. A special
law, hereafter to lie framed, will determine the pun
ishment to be inflicted the captains Of slavers.
If these measures be effecually carried out, they
will greatly aid in breaking up the slave trade on
the coast Of Africa. ...

The Convention has perfect right to " call, !
and the States Of the South have perfect right i

planted his chair by the sea side and "called'' t
the ocean to stop its tides. He had perfect RICH

THE EFFECTS OF AGITAT1oN.-While politicians,
who have their own purposes in view, are playing
upon the preudices and sectional feelings of the
people at the North, the reaction naturally pro-
duced by this course is working its inevitable
suits. For long time past the North has sup
piled the South with manufactures of all kinds, and
received in return the cotton, tobacco, and money
Of the South the whole carrying trade of the South
has been in Northern hands; and out of this bust
ness, which was and is almost complete Northern
monopoly, great profits were made and are now
made. "..
But there is a change in progress, the evidences
Of which are manifested from day to day. The
Southern people are awakening to the perception
that if they would possess independence they must
seek it in its first elements in other words, in the
development of their own resources and in the en-
ployment of their own labor. The Albany Argus,
noticing these indications, remarks
In Of the Southern States great exertions being
put forth develop their manufacturing Cotton
factories being built to considerable extent in Georgia.
and in neighborng States at Baltimore the shPyards
busy building vessels for Southern pos and over the
South the greatest activity is shown in the determination
be independent Of Northern manufacturers vessels and
chants What will be the result Of this Inevitably TO
lessen the demand for Northern and Eastern manufactures
and depress and labor in the free States The
effect be otherwise and would ask the merchant
the manufacturer and the abore to give The subject their
careful consideration Already has the North felt the effects
Of this needless sectional agitation in the loss of Southern
support and if it continued, she will feel il still more
keenly."
Observation-Disclosures else can the North expect ?
Do the fanatical agitators in that quarter suppose
that the South will continue to throw means and
appliances into their hands to be used for the de-
structon of Southern interests, and of the peace OF
the South! That would be the extreme of faulty.
The money which is expended to promote the
schemes Of Abohtionsts has been derived, at least
much of it, from the profits Of Southern consign-
nents and Of Southern trade. The shafts that are
aimed at the heart Of the South are winged with
feathers from her own heart. She nurses the
pinions that mpel the steel. But there will be an
end of this. Even fanaticism is sensitive in the
region Of the pocket, and the most ardent votares
of abolition will not persist in carrying on warfare
at their own cost. If principle weighs much with
them, interest weighs more.-Baltinore american.
