FACTS OF SLAVERY.

The SLAVE TRADE.--It seems that an American sailor
who is probably in this City, has testified at Ha
that he shipped on board vessel at this City
March last proiessedly upon honest voyage 10 the
Coast of Africa and that it was only after getting to sea
that the slave trade avOwed 10 be the destination OF
the vessel The slaves Cuba by this adventure
were landed there about the LIST of july We have re-
peatedy called public attention TO the fact that the slave
trade and has long been, actively carried ON be-
tween this City and the Coast of Africa that New York
merchants constantly sending vessels to Africa to
bring cargoes of slaves Cuba and that this infamous
traffic, made piracy by special treaties as well as by the
laws the United States is constantly carried on from
this port and from Baltimore with degree of openness
and eckessness which makes the Government officers ac
comphces for not taking steps TO break II up Inc inoe
cty of the Federal officials this subject Is absolutely
incredible Vessels fitted up almost every week,
ostensby for Cuban ports for legitimate trade on tue
Coast Of Africa which any trader to that coast Will not
have moments hesitation in identifying as destined FOR
the slave trade Yet not of them is ever interrupted
Not has the slightest difficulty in securing regular
American papers, and although every man OF Judgment
here knows perfectly well the errand which they have
been dispatched until the slaves landed at some Cubas
port the Cuban authorities detect the frame, not
word is ever heard about here. There merchants In
our streets to-day who are making their tens ana nun
dreds of thousands yearly by traffic condemned alike
NV our laws and by the public sentiment OF the civilized
world And yet nothing is done by the ofhcers OF Gov
epment TO enforce the law vndcae the honor ana dg
nifty Of the country. li"es'
TYR R,v DIR STILLS AND HIS MIssIos.-Some time
past Dr. Stiles passed through the South as agent OF the
American Home Missionary Society whose object was sad
To be the spread of the Gospel among southern Ne@e
lisve, here and az Columbus, Montgomery NC,
preaching and collecting funds in aid of his MISSION On
bis return 10 Connecticut he made report to the C'en-
eral Association of Connecticut which resulted IN the
following resolution being adopted
Thst while Of d. STILES
and high himself ard with desire
with all that deem efforts extend the Gospel
this body regards the Home Missionary
soey in it's position not to grant aid to .lavehodns mic
.ioparss
After this hope that the southern churches and peo
ole will allow this Abolition American Home Missionary
Society 10 take care of the Gospel OF their own
tsshen north Of Mason and Dixons line. Such hypo-
res should have been permitted to interfere with
the duties appertainng TO Southern Christians
