was actually signed and scaled in the beginning
Of August last, and that as soon as the Eastern
question is definitely settled, the new law win
he promulgated and the British neet Of the
DGrdanelles viii be despatched to the Antilles
to preside over its execution. We know that
treaty FOR the suppression Of the slave trade
has recently been negotiated between Lord
Howden the British Minister at Madrid and
the Spanish government What the details Of
IL are has not yet publicly transplred; but we
are confident that it contains nothing approx
mating TO the policy of carrying on that slave
trade with greater activity than ever, under the
legal fiction OF African ten-year apprenticeship
The British, us well az every other civilized go
vernment-- except Spain-is interested in put
ting an end forever to Incorporated slave traffic
The English people entertain feelings on the
subject bordering on the fanatic; and it would
never do for the ministers of Great Britain to
concluded treaty virtually sanctioning and pro-
toctlng by law the continuance OF that trade on
a larger scale than ever. The idea is prepostc-
roos aud utterly unworthy of belief. We know
that England France, and Spain are Matching
measures TO prevent the absorption by the
United States of either Cnba or Mexico, but the
apprenticeship system does not enter, we are
sure, into the modos operandi.
Tbs rumor of such u projected policy is seized
upon with eyidity, and magnided by the .fNi-
busteros, with the object Of Fastening the revo
luton in the island, and is adopted no less ca
gery by the organ Of the government at Wash
ington, for the purpose of insuring the adhesion
of The South at time when, by the despicable
conduct of the administration, it has lost all
respect in the Northern States. We repeat,
however, our conviction that it is nothing more
than political bugbear.

pist expands to twice its usual proper
tons. It Is a subject upon which we
feel perfectly at home, and always
keep it on hand az a kind Of main
stay--a deynier resort when time las
at presently positively refuses to "turn
up any incident worth making
leader out Of. p ewh
Let us cast our eye about lls, at the
complexion Of things. Do we not find
associations everywhere for benevolent
and charitable purposes7 Do we not
find relief societies got up at immense
sacrifices ofindisidual time and money
for the express purpose Of setting such
mortals o1athetr legs, as from weakness
in their Knees have fallen down. Az,
further than this, do we not find peo-
pie abandoning their business, jeopar-
dising their own souls to show pilgrim
sinners the way that 'leads to life p
This is too true--this is what is to i'm
mortalize the present generation, to
which themes of prise will be sung
when it has gone down to the 'shad es.'
Scarce day passes over, but the
brain of some philanthropic Howard
Of a fellow, delivers himself Of some
new scheme for the alleviationeof the
human race; differing i1nar arom
the last scheme, save in the yinter-
sctness which is stamped 81 IA face.
Every man is looking afteslys neigh
boris soul, forgetting that M has with
in himselfa similar commodity to take
care Of. The fact Of his having soul
himself would never occur to him, if it
were not warmed up occasionly, by the
sweet and holy influence of disinter-
ested benevolence. But with this
fiattering picture Of morality---of char
ity and christian virtue before US, we
must not shut our eyes to the other
side. We confidently assert that at
no period in the history of this Parish
was there ever so much open bribery
and coruption--so much theiving in
broad daylight, and in the face Of the
law, as there is at this time. Not
only are such offences committed
against society, but murder itself finds
ready shield in friends, or "money
bags" the sovereign mitigator of sins
against Heaven, in this over modest
and transcendentally virtuous age
There is a leagued band Of horse thiev-
ing, counterfeiting, house breaking
scoundrels travelling on Steamboats, as
ge',tleme,a--lurking about the towns
and infesting the country; who fly
readily to the relief of one another,
and the law is put in defiance. Put
ting them in country jails is equivalent
to turning them loose, and there is no
security for either life or property
The offer made by one Of the three
men arrested at the landing the other
day, is but one of the many similar
things that occur daily in some part
of the country. The prisoner placed
in the hands of the Constable roll of
money, telling him that 800 should
be his, il he would place another 800
in the hands of some 'good lawyer"
Can this be dones Can a good law
yer in this moral age be induced by
an hundred dollar argument to shield
an infamous low william from justice 2

for us. In the meantime we would
