sInng 10 unirt anew The most ,l1leui outrage upon
Anlcn, whose Accumulated wrongs growing out of
Slavery have been the standing theme Of tho phi
Anthlopsla mud apostles OF civilization during tho
lat century; aud TO deliberately cover themsegea
with nfnmy and bring down upon their heads the con-
tempt and opprobrium OF a world. 1t is difficult 70
conceive of the degree Of credaty sufficient to lead
any sane mind to believe that such a preposterous
scheme as this is actually on foot
The cold blooded and daring impudenco that adVo-
Gates the re0pcnng of this diaboca traffic grounds
of humanity ia undeserying q serious thought The
Proposition is simply to destroy the exorbitant profits
Of the slave trade by opening it to universal cOmPeti
a., cf g.
inc the trade to the supervision Of agents Of Govern
ment presupposes an asnine stupidity that is
worthy of YahoO. There is only one thing want
ing TO the perfection Of his argument This IS
that the system of African immigration, 1t is gin
gery called is the only means by which evangelical
Christianity and vital piey be introduced among
the warlke savages OF Africa and rendered acceptable
to the pirates and kdnapper Of her Pestentia coasts
But the Authorization OF Cuba scheme does not con-
ss alone in the establishment of the slave trade under
the protection Of the three powers but in the ultimate
and not distant emancipation Of all the blacks on the
Island Tie pretence ia that Cuba ia to be filled with
negroes under the apprenticeship system, and when
this object is accomplished by half century of mpOr
taton, universal freedom is to be decreed
We have seen TO what extent the black population Of
ten years serytude on sugar estates by showing that
ten years is quite long the apprentices VIII live
Cuba will thus have no more blacks be emancpatei
at the end Of the proposed hall century than II none
we're imported. But emancipation is to come as the
condition and compensation for fifty years Of impunty
in the slave trade And this is the whole Of the Af
canizaticn ofCuba called Fifty years Of slave trade
under trparte convention for ts sanction and pro-
lection and that to be followed by unconditional eman
cipatiOn throughout the Island.
As TO the latter branch of the scheme know moth
ing England and France may or may not have entered
into q compact with Spain for the abolition Of Slavery
in Cuba at the end Of fifty years We are quite aPpre-
bensve that there is as little foundation for this suppO
siiion Us for the former. Ii such compact be in ex
stence however we presume there will be ct least two
parties in the country the question of going TO war
With the three powers to prevent its consummaton
If the Union-Sayers and Fugitive Law men may be
set down in advance as la favor Of such war sup
pose il is fair 10 assume that the free-SOiers will be
opposed TO it, How the great mass OF the people will
look upon such an unheard of piece Of a,rocy the
prospective abolition Of Slavery in Cuba, we are
prepared 10 say If they are not reused 10 AMI 90
to war to prevent it, it will not be The Unions fault
But the absurdiy of tao whole scheme becomes very
apparent when we reflect that there is nobody except
buccaneers, pirates kidnappers, and some souless su
gar planters who would propose to open and legaze
the slave trade and that if the slave holders Of Cuba
would not hesitate to yield their assent to the ap-
prentice system, they would be the last to agree
to patton and both parts Of the plan must 90
together. Tie suggested bargain could therefore,
never be made with the planters and the Spanish Gov
would not derive enough benefit from it to in
duce that power TO carry out such ignOminiOus ar
rangement
1t is fax more likely that Spain intends to keep the
question Of emancipation ia her own hands foil to
the macl nations Of the flibusters If the tone OF
Tie Union is true index of the temper of the Admin
tration and we think it is, Spain will have to rely
upon her own deienses against lbusterng neursiOns
II would seem that the President and Cabinet
intend to do just as little toward arrestng the Ope
nations Of the maauding gentlemen who have de
signs upon Cuba is consistent with the appearance
Of dcceucyin the observation Of neutral duties.
And with Mr. Soult at Madrid TO help open her eyes
10 this fact IL will bea matter of great surprise il Spain
.hould fail 10 arrive at the same conclusion
