The Presidential Question In Several Points Of

Reduced to this extremity. Col. Forney was
not long in selecting his favorite. Pierce had

Noitllern Slavers,

A striking Illustration Of the purity of Nor
,hern fanaticism has just been brought 10 the
publie notice. A Boston schooner, "Maria +.
smith. has been seized on the Brazilian eoast
with cargo Of pure Africans. The "Maria +.
Smith" formerly piled between Boston and Hal
flax; but business being dull. she was, last fall
fitted out in Boston for the slave trade. Her
purpose was so generally known that she was
taken in hand by the United States Authorities
hu, these. being solid, conscientious Bostonians,
permitted the vessel TO escape. On the coast
Of Africa she took on board 500 negroes-ihough
the accommodations wore only sufficient fot 2oo
aud on the passage, $50 died.
This ia u specimen of the practical philanthropy
Of those who are forever canting about the suf-
ferings of the poor Africans. If the Federal
Constitution were revoked, or the Federal au-
lhorities passive. should soon these phi
lanihropi-ts rush impetnously. of yore. to
this most profitable traffic. Boston, Newbury-
port. SALEM. every creek and harbor on the New
England coa-t, would speedily be crowded with
long. low. rakish. piratical looking schoonsr-
ready TO depart for, or just returned with peck
ct full Of rocks from the golden coast of Africa.
And the men of all others. who would embark
most capital and take the liveest interest in this
trade, would probably be Sumner, Wilson, Gree
ley Seward and the rest of the Black Republican
leaders. 1t was the ancestors of these men,
who formerly crowded our land with imported
Africans and would joyfully do it again. if a
gain they could realize money by the operation.

follows:
