The SLAVE TRADE OF CABA.-A correspon.

,ana under date of Aug. 25th, says:
Since my last advice we have had one cargo
Of negroes from the coast of Africa landed at Ba-

Christian bonds two hundred and fifty. Two
cargoes have been landed in the past six weeks to

our humanity These landings are said To be
Effected by vessels built in the United States,
and commanded by persons claiming to be ciu-

past three months. which have introduced to our
philanthropy not less than two thousand subjects.
1t is almost impossible tt obtain correct data of
the Infamous traffic on either side of Cuba, as
uilcials of the Government near the various local
tiles seemed To be interested in the conceamont
The writer states that within the last four
months, no less than fourteen thousand slaves
have been landed in Cuba. The amount Of guilt
involved in this black business is indeed fearful.
il is almost impossible To conceive the extent of
misery that has been suffered by the wretched
beings alluded to. Another letter says:

din's project for the Introduction of 10000 Air-
can apprentices. has been approved by the home
government. have beon informed that the
English Consul has authorized Mr.. Enslehardt

The English Government has consented to the
Introduction of the apprentices under the follow

1900; second, that all vessels employed in the
traffic shall be registered in the English Consn-

Tn NArIoNn. WmG Conventions Indications
couinuc to reach us TINT the Wings in all parts
of thu country are fully alive TO the great move
ment in progress to concentrate tho Wing party
md rein-tate il in It's ancient position the great
conservative political organization of the coun
try. To the accomplishment Of this purpose tho
couv,ning of the National Wing Convention es-
peeny points. and to il will that event contri-
hlfe moro eilcciunllJ than anyt thing within the
rench of Our political forecast. Everywhere this
opinion appears Ia meet the concurrence of Wing
statesmen and the Wing press. From the North
South, East and West we hear but one voice of
approval, and confidently hope that by the
dry Of it~ meeting every state aud district in the
| mon will be united in representation and pre-
purnton aud prepared 10 share in it's delibera
tons. Among the lutest evidences of activity
tint have reached US il thnt presented by our
sterling contemporary Of the Lexington, Ken
lucky Observer. That journal Of Saturday last
says:
\ call f,r Convention of the Old Line Whia $
of this Congressional District, to be held in this
city on Tuesday, the 9th of next month, appears
in our paper Ia day. The object is To take tho
necessary steps to be represented III the Nation
| nj Wing Convention to be held IN Baltimore on
/ the Eth of september. This call j. signed by n
| large number of the most substantial citizens at
/ the district. and the meeting here will doubles :
| be we'll attended.
The Convention at Baltimore promises to be
one of the largest, rs it will certainly be one of
the most important, political gatherings that has'
| taken plnce during the present canvass. That
| lis action. be 1t what II may, will exert an I'm.
mense influence on the approaching Presiden
| tial election ~ man who has taken note of the
signs Of the times" can have tho least
doubt.
The Philadelphia Inquirer of yesterday, in re-
lation Ia the same subject says
We learn that arrangements are in progress,
by which Philadelphia will be fully represented
| in the Wing National Convention which is about
10 assemble in Baltimore. Several Of the coun-
ties of the interior have already elected Dele
| gates. The Convention will comprise some of
tie most d singuished men in the country. The
Delegations from. New York, Massachusetts Nir-
eina, Maryland and Louisiana, are full, and
Among the members gentlemen who are emf
nrnt alike for 'her talents, patriotism. and con
servative sentiments.

Democratic orators aud journals in the South

that il is necessary to vote for Mr.. buchanan 10

that prevent Fremonts election If he can bc
cleo ted and is to be elected, /, must be only by
his having strength enough in the North for the
purpose and that not relative bat n positive
strength. He must carry majority Of the cleo
toral votes, or he cannot be elected. Now, how
Is his capacity to effect that diminished by the
vote Of the South! Can any one skilled in fig.
ures or logic explain the process to usl Suppose
every vote in Virginia should be cast for Buohan
would that diminish Fremont's strength in the
North! Suppose every vote in the South should
be cast for Buchanan would that make Fremon,'s
chance of election lessl Clearly not because he
must stand or fall by virtue of the support he re-
oeives there. over which the South has not the
slightest control and cannot exercise the slight
est influence We should think this plain enough
for the simplest mind-but, nevertheless. demo
cratic managers, always presuming on the gull.
bility of the people, are continually prating on
the necessity Of uniting on Buchanan to prevent
the election OF Fremont How very anxious
they have become. of a sudden, to obliterate old
party lines and rally under common leader
that leader being their own candidate They dep
recate the possibility of the South dividing
Good souls-how it grieves them! They pour
forth whole Iads of woes upon the impoloy Of
distraction and the wckedness of division. Is
1t not strange las contemporary well asks that
this patriotic scheme of uniting the South did
not occur TO the Democratic leaders when there
