"Now, we take three points to be quite
clear-frst, that the slave trade can only be
suppressed by a concert Of nations, since no
single nation, even though navally as powerful
as England, is at all equal to the task OF
sweeping at once such a coast as that of Africa,
and the waters of the Gulf of Mexico next,
that the Gctire hostility of naval Power 30
considerable and so close to the scene of action
as the United States, would wholly psralyze
any efforts we could make and, lastly, that q
quarrel with the United States, due to any in
judicious display of arrogance or suspicious ir-
ritstion at their supineness, on our part, would
do more harm to the condition of this question
in America than any external cause what
ver."-LOndon Economist.
This is sensible language, and worthy of the
carefuland usually profound Economist. Any at
tempt to force this country to observe any treaty
would be wretched policy on thepart Of England.
Theright of search, happily, is abandoned. Now,
let the American Government take the entire
responsibility of conniving at the slave trade, if
it will or dare. The civilized world will jeer
at US, and mock at our pretensions, unless we
show not only willingness but eagerness to
abide by our slave-trsde treaties, and to meet
England half way in her desire to put an end
to the terrible traffic.
