ORIGIN OF SLAVERY.

MIR. Bancroft, IN the first volume OF
his history of the United States, gives an
account Of the early traffic of the Euro
peans in slaves. In the early ages, the
Venetians purchased white men, Christ
ians and others, and sold them to the
Saraeens in Sicily and Spain. In Eng
land the Anglo Saxon nobility sold their
servants rs slaves to foreigners. The
Portuguese first imported negro slaves
from Western Africa to Europe, in 1442.
After America was discovered, the In
sdians of IIispaniola were imported into
Spain, and made slaves. The Spaniards
visited the coast of North America, and
kidnapped thousands of the Indians whom
they transported into slavery in Europe
and the West Indies. Columbus himself
enslaved 500 native Americans, and sent
them into Spain, that they might be pub
licly sold at Seville. The practice of
selling North American Indians into for
eign bondage continued for nearly two
centuries. Negro slavery was first intro
dneed into -AInsriea hE Szassizh slave
holders, who emigrated with theirnegroes,
A royal edict of Spain authorized Negro
slavery in America in 1908. King Fer
! dinand himself sent from Seville ffty
slaves TO labor in the mines. In 1911
the direct traffic in slaves between Africa
and Hispaniola was enioined by a royal
ordinance. Las Casas who saw the In
dians vanish away before the cruelties Of
the Spaniards, suggested that the negroes,
who alone could endure severe tolls,
might be further employed. This was il
1913. The mistaken benevolence o.
Las Casas extended the slave trade
which had been commenced.
Sir John Hawkins was the first Ed.
glishman who engaged in the slave trade
In 1882 he transported a large cargo o
Africans TO Hispaniola. In 1867 an
other expedition was prepared, and Queer
Elizabeth shared in the traffic. Haw
kins, in one Of his expeditions, set fire Il
an African city, and out Of three thou
sand inhabitants, he succeeded 10 seizin;
260. James Smith, Of Boston, ans
Thomas Keyser, at first brought upor
the colonies the guilt Of participating il
the slave trade. In 1854 they importe,
a cargo Of negroes. Then througbou
Massachusetts the cry of justice wa
raised against them as malefactors an
: murderers; the guilty men were com
mitted for the offence, and the represent
) atives of the people ordered the negroe
TO be restored to their country at th

Such course upon the part of the Administra-

productive Of the most disastrous consequences,
and should be reprobated by every patriot who

Frightful Collision.

On Sunday night about ii o'clock the steam
er Forest Queen, Capt. Wadsworth bound down
from Point aux Barques, collided with the
steamer Northener, Capt. Cole, from Cleveland
for Saginaw, about four miles above the Fort
Gratiot light. and one mile and 4 half from the
American shore. The Forest Queen struck the
larboard bow of the Northerner, some twenty
five feet from the stem, ltting her nearly asun-
der, and causing her TO sink in about six minutes
The Forest Queen sustained but slight injury
confined entirely to her stem.
Immediately after the collision Capt Cole
alarmed the passengers in the cabin, while Mr..
Kelsey, the clerk, aroused those below Capt
G. then Jumped on the bow Of the Forest Queen
the boats hanging, as ii were, together for two
three ninu;es-and succeeded in getting 4
large number of the passengers off the sinking
vessel. As the boats separated, lie, with others,
got out the small boats. BY the almost super
human exertons Of the officers and crew. of
both vessels, the pasSengerS-all of them il is
hoped-of the Nor;herncr were saved. The
only person known to be missing, is her second
engineer Peter Moore, OF Cleveland. 1t is pos
sIble that some of the passengers are lost, but
none are known to he so. The trip sheet de-,
were not saved.

Delegata vs.. Mass Convention.

Quite spirited controversy has recently been
going on between several of the Republican pa
pers in the State relating TO the State Cunven-
ton about to be held at Madison. The State
Central Committee called a Convention, to be
composed If two delegates from each Assembly
District which is objected to by some who are
of the opinion that Mass Convention would
be preferable We have no doubt larger num-
her could be got together al Mass Convention
tslan Will he in attendance under the present
arrangement, but We do not believe that the diff
ferent portions of the State would be As well
represented as under The delegate system. 4
Mass Convention wuuld be almost entirely I'M
der the control Of Dane and few other counties

Of the distant counties would scarcely be repre-
scented at all. 1t il quite tax on persons liv-
ing at great distance from Madison 20 attend
these State Conventions and political excitement
requires to run high 10 secure The attendance Of
any large number at a Mass Convention. while
those who ap, ointed as delegates feel it their
duty TO be there, even though the expense is
great For instance Grant county would be en-
titled 70 ten delegates and we have 10 doubt

vcntion, we doubt if one half that number would
be III attendance.
But il Is thought by some shat the Know

their order TO a delegate convention. l. GER
tainly appears 10 Us that this objection would
he much stronger If urged against : Mass Con
