EXPORIING SLAVES.

A South Carolina STAKEHOLDER, now residing in
New Orleans, writes Us promising chat sreryb0dy
admits the evils of Slavery, but that Immediate
Abolition Is improbable aud perilous-being
likely to result in terrible civil war, aud the
ultimate subjug .ticn or extinction of either the
Whites or the Blacks. he holds the Colonial
ton Of the Blacks to be indispensable, if they
are ever 20 be liberated, and suggests that Con-
gress be urged to make provision for tue deporti-
ton of all liberated slaves to Liberia or some
other settlement Of free Blacks, aud for their
subsistence through the ensuing six months. He
thinks such a system would recommend itself TO
moderate men in both sections, and that under
it's auspices Slavery would gradually melt away
and ultimately disappear.
Now we differ from our correspondent radically
in these respects, namely,
!. We think the South dOst rant 10 get rid Of
Siarery. individuals here and there may wish it
ended, but the slave traders don't agree with
them: no more do the men and women living In
suDptuous idleness on the proceeds Of Slave La
Dor, no matter whether hired cut or worked upon
Cotton and Sugar estates. We often hear Of this
or Ilhl ODc tuc cAtstSnOV VI Oih'S'y
who never lifted foger to hasten its downfall,
and who would stop his fayorte Journal ifit said
aught decisively against slavehost9ng. We know
that the great body Of the shareholders do no.
wish Slavery abolished. any more than saners in
general wish TO be saved from their SINS if there
were will, there would soon be found way.
Nor do we think the majority Of our politicians,
merchant princes, cOttOr brokers, &C., earnestly
desire the Abolition of Slavery. They may cheat
their consceDces by saying they do, butt so, their
acts give the lie to their professions.
2. We, therefore believe the most important
thing to be done at present is to make our people,
North and South, realize that Slavery is toroag and
injurious, and so earnestly desire its er,iHe!ion.
If that were accomplished, all else that ought to
be soon would be. The moral revolution will in
sure the physical or legal.
3. When our People shall have become really
hostile to Slavery, there eH be no need Of export
ing the tm0aeipdted negroes. They will all be
needed here, and will be more healthy, cheerful
tractabe body of aborers than the planters can nd
beside. Now they are good for nothiOg, because
they have no rights, social position no hopes, no
friends. 1t is the interest of the Shareholders to
have free negroes appear the most vicious idle in
efficient, miserable of Gods creatures, and they
are treated accordingly. Let Slavery be abolished
and all this would mend. Even now, in defiance
of the Pro-Slayery sentiment animating the more
Influential classes at the North, the Free Blacks
are msch better situated and are doing better
here than in the Slave States. Colonization is
destined to do great work for africa, but it will
never carry Off our -Four Millions of Slaves, nor
half of them, because they are wanted as Free La
borers right where they are.
A. The Southern politicians rH nerer consent to
hare Public Money eJPended ia the ,eay our cores
pondent propOses.-They are strict construction
lists as against every attempt to meliorate by Fed
eral action the woes of Slavery. They will vote
Millions to acquire new SlayehOlding territory;
not cent to send away emaacpated slaves.
Every cargo exported would weaken the South
in Congress and reduce the power of the slave
holders. OF course, they will never do anything
of the sort until after they shall have resolved to
give up Slavery. And when they shall have
reached that point, our correspondents cata-
plasm for the National ulcer will be no longer
needed.
