CALHOUN ON THE SLAVE TRADE.


We subjoin an extract from speech Of Mr.. Cal.
houn delivered in the Senate n a42 which gives the
views of the great Caroliliau on this question
After discussing the right Of search Mr.. Calhoun
continued:
THE other article in reference to the came su6ec
stipulaes that the parties will unite in all becoming
representation and remonsrance with any Powers
within whose dominions markets are permitted for
imported African slaves. If he we're to permit bis
ceilings to govern him exclusively he would object to
this more strongly than any other provision in the
trea,y-not that he opposed to the object or the
policy of closing the market to imported negroes; on
he contrary be thought it both right and eIpedient
in every view. Brazil and the Spanish colonies were
the only markets. he believed, still remaining open,
and to which this provision would apply. They were
already sbundantly supplied With slaves, and be had
no doubt that sound policy their part required that
their markets should be finally and effectusy closed
He would 20 farther, and say that it was our interest
thew should be- II would free US from the necessity
of keeping cruisers on the African coast to prevent
The illegal and fraudulent use Of our flag, for any
other purpose but to protect our commerce in that
ousrter-s thing Of itself much to be desired. We
would nave q 6tlll etiouRot ihtetooi, u VIC "o'o
governed by selfish considerations. We are rivals in
the production of several articles, and more ESPECIALLY
the greatest of all the agricultural stapes-cotton.-
Next to our own country Brazil possesses the grestest
advantages for it's production, and is already large
grower of the article towards the production of which
the continuance OF the market for imported slaves
from Africa would contribute much. But he would
not permit such considerations to influence him in vo'
ting on the treaty. He had no objections to see Bra
I'll develop her resources to the full but be did be
lsve that higher considerations, connected with her
safety, and that of the Spanish colonies made it their
nteresthat their market should be closed against the
traffic.
"But, it may be asked, why, with these Impressions
should we have any objection to this provision Of the
treaty 1t was because he TO interfering
with other Powers, when it could be avoided 1t eI.
