The argument upoa which the save-trade was
abolished. and upon which its abolition has been
hitherto sustained, has been that Slavery is bad

wa, sisnd clear for its revival, but it becomes a
du,y which the South owes to itself, TO It's sister

trade, in spite Of any squeamish show OF opposition
which the North may make to IT.
That opposition, however, the Charleston writer
does not set down as any serious impeachment The

however, from their insgni6cauce upon this great
question, We have not been at the trouble to heap
"epittets upon them" Such is the cool contempt
for Northern opinion and influence with when
southern journals proceed to discuss the great ana
vital question OF the revival Of the laVe-Irade-a
contempt Which will find ITS warrant (and warrant,
too. tor ITS sgprsyation if that were possble)
in the election of Buchanan.
