CorroN AND SLAVERY. Con. p. A. Mcrsc
Of Washington, furnishes the Natchitoches
Chronicle with statistical article on "South-
crn Slavery and the Cotton Trade" which
is important as an appeal to British cup di.
ty in bchalfof American slavery. The writ
er shows by the increased demand for cot.
ton that the South will not DO able to fur
nish supply hereafter unless tho number
Of slaves devoted to cotton raising shall be
annually increased by some hundreds Of
thousands, over and above their natural in.
crease by propagation. The whole argu-
ment looks to the re-opcning Of the African
slave trade Us necessary to the manuiactur.
ing interests of England, and Gen. Morse
closes his appeal with this paragraph, in
which he says Of the influential classes Of
England:
"They now fully comprehend the idea
and freely admit the fact that II an adequate
supply OF cotton is to 10 had ut all 1t must
come from the United States, and that tho
ratio of increased supply is dependent upon
and exactly limited by the future accession
Of slave labor to the cotton growing states.
The present state Of the cotton trade has
convinced them that any fanatical inter
mcd1ling with domestic slavery would DO
not only unwise and impolitic, but that q
successful invasion of the rights Of slave
owners in the southern States Of the con(ed.
eraey would react with fatal effect upon
British commerce."
