The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1856-12-10

tlon OF slaves, or at least one slave, from lega
: process and is strongly in favor of the reviva
of the African slave trade. After stating tina
but for the abolition of the slave trade the equi
librIum between the north and south would no
have been destroyed;;' that the north has draw
her supply of labor for the northwest from tn
4 old world; that the south has necessarily sup
piled her own labor more slowly; and that
the slave trade were now open, the south woult
not consent to close it, the governor argues:
eff we cannot supply the demand for slav,
labor, then we must be supplied with specie:
of labor we do not want. and which is, from the
very nature of things, antagonistic to our insti
tutions. 1t is much better that our drays should
be driven by slaves-that our factories should
be worked by saves-that our hotels should
be served by slaves-than that we should be
exposed to the Introduction, from any quarter o.
a populotton aliento as by birth training and edu-
cation, and which in the process of time, must
| lead to conflict between capital and labor,
which makes it so difficult to maintain free in
situations in all wealthy and highly cvlised
nations where such institutions as ours do not
| exists,
Rather strange language to come from a de-
mocrat. The governor is far more ultra than
the most violent know nothing we ever heard.
The recommendation of reviving the African
slave trade will hardly meet with appreciation.
By the laws of congress it is prohibited under
severe penalties, and we are under treaty obi
cations to Great Britain and France to aid in
suppressng the nelarious traffic
THE RIGHT SPIRIT The New Orleans Bee,
the oldest wing paperin Louisiana, speaking of
the president-elect, and the course it will pur-
sue in regard to his administration, says: We
hope that Mr.. Buchanan will initiate the self
reliance, independence and boldness of Old
Hickory. In the critical condition of the coun-
try these are the very qualities needed in the ad-
and which alone will enable it to
pass through the fiery ordeal of the coming
time. If the president elect will take counsel
from his own clear intellect, repudiate the Of
ticous advice of Intermediates, and suffer no
influence Or kitchen cabinet to sway
bis conduct, his administration will probably |
prove eminently successful. We cannot say
hat we expec; this line of policy from Nh
Buchanan. He is yet to be tried and his an
ecedents rather initiate against the idea of his
possessing an iron and infexibe will The
renchant distinctions formerly existing between
been gradually bunted and effaced.
.ertainlyin the south, and in many portions of
he NORTH, it would be difficult to decide in what
onslsts the difference between one party and
mother. The period, then, is propitious for
living fair trial to the new administration,
nd we are of opinion that it will be very gen
rally accorded.
