Slavery In the English Settlements the Coast of

The captain of French merchantmen. writing TO
the National (Paris,) states that at the port of Accra
on the coast Guinea there is not a single English set
tier who has not more or less slaves some owning as
many as $50 and even 200 When the owner wishes
get rid of his captive he sells him to the first captain
of emgrant boat thai lands. These en- grant boats
are miserable little coasters, commanded by liberated
slaves who embark at Sierra Leone a great
number of persons bound 10 service for some specified
time.
They take them not TO South America or Jamaica,
but where the trade has its center, the Gulf of Benin.
where they are disposed of. no one knows how, and
never heard of afterwards.
Thus the National continues, " if slavery has
been erased from the law, il exists in practice; and to
what extent it prevails may be judged by the fact that
wherever there is want of horses, the negroes are
yoked to the tilbury, FIVE or ak instead OF horse.

They reproach the Portuguese with claiming their
slaves, while they have prison at the fort into which
the black natives cast for the most trflng o1ense
and out OF which they always come chained by the

to know, have all the officers of the British Squadron
neglected their most imperative duties, in not inform

manifested in these settlements Is it after this fash

European policy could achieve such wonders If the
Cabinet of St James be absolutely ignorant of what
takes place in these settlements; let US hope that this
information will reach it, and that it will take such
measures as to prevent the world from saying that

The Moral of the Elections.

The result of the recent elections, both at the
North and South, has clearly proved that no men or
party whose attachment to the Union is not clearly
defined and unequivocally expressed long enjoy
the confidence of any considerable portion of the PEG
pie of the United States The people have sym
pahy for dsunion. in whatever form it may present
itself Whatever may be said by the opponents of
republican institutions about the danger OF trusting
to the public sentiment of any community, the expe
rience of our own country is every day proving to
the world that the deliberate Judgment of virtuous
and enlightened people can be relied on Their So
Der second thought is almost invariably right.
The people of the United States have passed their
Judgment upon the agitators of the North and the
disunionsts of the South. Disunion and nullifca-
ton though fosered by local preudices and section
al interests have been signally defeated whenever
they have been brought before the people. They
are effectually crushed Disunion meetings may,
deed be held at the South and fanatics at the North
may re-enact the scenes of Chrisana and Syracuse;
but they can never have the sympathy of any con-
siderable portion of the people. Restless spirits. dis
appointed asprants, and broken-down politicians
will always exist but their influence is fast waning,
and themselves finding tt oblivion and contempt
they deserve
But the great body of the people steadfast in
their adherence to the Union. For it they will
ling to conquer their prejudices' and give up their
sectional anmosty they know its blessings too well
to wish for anything but its perpetuity and onward
progress.

on account of their seizure, and is feared that he
will make this an excuse for once more assuming an

aging the frontier settlements, which it is thought he
has been recently but too much inclined to do.

The Mineral Resources OF tsic
..ss - Union. ... .


The National lnteligencer gives the
following interesting facts in reference
10 the mineral resources of the United
States:
Metals of The United States Iron
is the most abundant metal our country
affords. Its value is ten times the value
of gold and silver, and one-half the val.
tie of all the metal produced in the UNI
ted States. Iron is found in every State
of the Union. ..
The most valuable mine is one in
Salisbury, Connecticut. which yields g.
600 tons annually. The mines in Ouch
ess and Columbia counties, in the State
of New York, produce annually 10000
tons of ore; Essex county, 1900 tons;
Clinton, 1000; franklin, 600; St. Law
renee, 1000; amounting in all TO more
than S500,O00. The value of the iron
produced in the United States in 1885,
was S5,000,000; in 1897, S7,7G0,000.
In Ohio, 1900 square miles are under
laid with Iron. A region explored in
1898 would furnish iron sixly-one miles
long and six miles wide; square would
yield 100000 tons of pig iron; so that
this district would contain 1000, ,000,-
600, tons. BY taking from this region
100000 tons annually, "a larger quanti-
ty than previous to 1929 j, would last
$4,000 years-as long distance, GER
tainly, as any man looks ahead TIE
States of Kentucky, Tennessee. Indiana,
Maryland and Virginia, possess mex
haustible quantities Of iron ore. In Pen
nessee O,000 tons are annually manu-,
lactured. Notwithstanding our great
iron resources, more than one-half of ouI
cutlery, hardware, railroad iron, &C., is
still imported from Great Britain. ....
1t is supposed by geologis,s that the
week., supply of gold from our own
mines will be equalto the demand, and
that our mines will yet be more profita,
BILE Than the mines of Brazil and Colum
! bia. ..... ...... ...
! The most extensive lead mines in the
world are in Missouri, where the leat
region is seventy miles long by fifty
wide. The mines in 1926 produced T..
SOC, 600 tors, and the whole produce o
the United States was 1892, los.
It's has been estimated that the guam
ti,y of iron required in England foriRai
Roads, &C.. for the curren. year, will bt
about ,260, 900 tons, which, il is suppo
sed, will be equal TO all that couatry viii
produce. 'a#- 4 Il. ..Hf.'
The quantity Of lead manufactured ii
ihe United States in 1928, was 1881,
730 pounds, in 1929, ID, ,54I, 10 pounds
in 1888, 1892, los pounds; and in 1882
4.2sl ,S67 pounds. ...
I The copper trade, until within yea
or two, has not been of much impor
tance, as the result of the efforts mad
were not such as to justify any grea
operations. But now it appears to b
attracting a good deal of attention. =
Whether the demand for copper stock i
a fair index, remains to be seen.
Ills estimated that the quantity of iroI
, produced in the United States in lS45
was 9l9, 100 tons, valued a. ss3S, ,0f0,
500. .e..
