THE SLAvE.TRADE44WHo CARRIES

statlkffN al sIrfON. srrN trgaH
The New York Herald, in an article in
reference to the recent announcement of the
New Orleans Delta that the slave trade has
in fact been re-opened, and that slaves have
been landed at Pearl River, says: 4'.'i
The announcement of this fact may strike
those who are not conversant with the sub
ject rs something new; and will no doubt,
create considerable alarm among those who
are opposed to the revival Of the slave trade.
Whether there is or Is not any truth in the
statement OF the Delta, II will furnish text
for innumerable articles from the Abolition
and Black Republican orators aud preachers
OF all denominations. In view of the state.
ment, and Of what may be expected TO follow
from its publication, it is us well to look nj
the facts in the case
In the first place, then, II is notorious to all
who are at all Informed upon the subject that
the slave trsde has existed in this country for
years past; that il was and is carried on chief
ly by Northern citizens of the United States;
that Northern capitalists have invested more
extensively In il than the citizens of any other
portion Of The Union, and consequently are
more deeply interested In its maintenance and
success. The vessels which have been EN-.
ploycd in the transportation of slaves have
been fitted out mainly in New York, Boston,
Portland and Bristol, but Of these New York
is the favori!e point for the operation of the
dealers. Within the last twenty years over
fifty slavers were captured and brought into
this port, nearly all Of which were equipped
and fitted out with Northern capital The
number Of vessels captured aud condemned,
however, bears but very small proportion
Or h.. Ga r.. al.
have named. The slave fleet which leaves
New York, Boston and other sea-poris in the
course of single year consists of about forty
vessels of various sizes, ranging from one
hundred TO five hundred tons, and capable Of
carrying from four hundred to six hundred
slaves each.-
Every SLAYER is manned by crews of from
fifteen to twenty-five men, including the cap
tain and officers, making total for the whole
fleet Of about Il thousand men. The whole of
the capital invested does hot probably ex-
coed fonr millions of dollars, upon which a
profit of something like eleven millions is
realized.
Here, then, in this array of fncts we have
abundant proof that the slave trade has ex-
listed, does at present exist, and is maintained
chiefly by Northern men and Northern capt.
tai. The reports of the Mixed Commission
at Havana present still further evidence on
this head; but there is no want of proof while
the records of the United States Courts in
this city can be presented There is another
fact which may be stated in this connection.
The landing of slaves along our Southern
coast can be effected with little or no difficult
ty, and without danger of detection, MS there
Is no Mixed Commission, like that of Cuba,
in the South, and no one sufficiently inter-
csted in the matter to furnish the information
to the proper authorities.
