From The Charleston STANDARD, June y.
We took occasion 10 notice lew days since the resou-
.on reported By Mr.. Sde from the Committee on For
eign Relations proposing TO give 10 England and France
notice of abrogaon of the treaty stpuatons by when
we are bound keep naval force upon the African coast
r the suppression of the slave trade. We stated then
our appreciation of this measure from the conviction that
it onereus TO our country 20 our :sash en-
noses intended. We also approve II for another reason
which we will with perfect frankness to the people OF
this country We have 10 sympathy IN the purposes OF
his convention and no wish for its success anu We think
the time has come TO speak out upon the suoee. 10
uractce slavery and vet suppress the slave
ed that slavery Is of advantage 20 the races when con-
~ ts existence and vet resist the efforts by wach the
advantage is exendeGto urge that the union OF aheIua
races il necessary 10 the progress OF human e
70, ress, the means by which that union elected
contradiction which human ingenuity can never reconce
and vet 10 such contradiction the southern section OF ms
country compelled in every effort winch looks 20 .ne
di,countenonce and encouragement OF me frame WIN 'e
coast Of Area by which the limits OF TINS institution a'e
extended
That there is no moral wrong in Slavery the assunp
ton which lies az the very base of that institution Ii Is
tic principle upon hch justify it, practice IL IS the
principle we establish when show that both races are
better under the influence of this institution than they arc
without and in fact the intelligent mind of the South
fast approaching the conclusion thai SaveFy-he union
OF unequal in the constitution OF an unequal system
is the normal condition OF human society Ii Is as' be-
coming tie belief hat 10 advance, society must be com
posed of casse-hc one 10 direct and the oteT 20
aboand that 20 the permanence OF society IN posllon'
OF adv ancement there must be division IN Ms numbers
and not that division simply which springs from the neces
sites of the case where part is held above its natural
position by the accident OF wealth. where the other is de-
dressed below lis natural level by the accident of Its ab
sence-but a division which is natural, and which neces
sary results from the inequality between the races when
are brought together. In this belief we heartily concur
Tie benefits and advantages which far have resulted
from this institution take lights to guide us to the
brighter truths of its future history. No mutton on eara
has been SO favored have been the people Of these
Southern States. None has increased in wealth aud
numbers-none has been free from domestic brois and
civil commotion. In has the labong class been 50
harpy and so free physical suffering ana in none be-
tween the higher and lower classes of society has there
been so much kind feeling and much of mutual sohc
uce and dependence. To bash in the brghienns beams
Of such an institution to defend it, praise it and pray
.o- It's continuance and yet contribute ships and soldiers 10
prevent its extension and is spread 20 others than our
selves is scarcely deensble upon any reasonable prnc
pie Of human action.
