@ The following which is part of lony editorial In the Richmond South, is plain state- I ment of patent facts:
 But the troubles of Great Britain do not aII grow out of her zeal in the suppression of the siave-trade She is herself arraisnea baforo tba world. by the leading powers of Europe and Amefica, for most criminal complcity in the very ualnc 10 winch she affects so pious re- pugnance. Weknow that our government and IL Is understood that France also. has protested against the importation of Cooles, as violation Tn letter and spirit, of the anti-slave treaty. nus England IS put upon her trial, and what oefepce can she offer? Will she pretenl that the emigration of COolies is attended by no cir cumstance of compulsion or cruelty? The world would only laugh at the impudent men, daclty of the plea; for the world is informed that the Cooles are taken by fraud and violence | subjected to the most intolerable hardships and condemned to a life of irksome and exhaustno bondage. It is acknowled ged bv British writers themselves that the Coole- trade is characterz- ed by every circumstance of wrong and oppres sion which has provoked the judgment of chris tendon against the tratfic in African negroes. .- In the face of such admissions and of other equally damnng testimony, it is supremelv ridiculous for the British government to effect a horror of the slave trade. Nor will the na- tons permit England to assume the seat of judgment when her own garments are so stain ed with the guilt which she professes to punish in others. She must pluck the beam from her own eye-she must wash the blood from her own handS-she must discard the mask of hv- pocrlsy, and be as honest as she would appear, before Spain, France and the United s sates will allow her to play the censor of theu inverse and the champion of oppressed humanity Never wall they suffer her to invoke the efficacy of convention which she violates upon system and with every incident of aggravation.
 By the mutual reproaches, then, of England, Spain, France and the United States it is con fessed that these chief powers of christendom are now accessory to violation of the anti. slave trade treaties Stranger than all, we have abundant proof that Liberia itself, the vaunted paradise of free -negrodom, the theatre upon which the Ethiopian Is to dem monstrate his ca- pabhity for the highest achievements of civli- zarlon-stranger than all, Liberia, too, is con- nivng at the slave-trade. The negroes on board the Regina Cceli were collected at Mon- rovia, Were enlisted by public solicitation, and were embark d with the knowled ge of the Li- berian governm ent. The transaction was noto- rlous, and of its character no intelligent person 1 Noitt Oh"0lidu uDlUD. m ldcU, the FfonCn a|le5e that all their proceedings had the sanction of the civil authorities at Monrovia This dis closure establishes two thing; first, that by their own admission, negroes are only it for slavery; and secondly, that the harlships of a residence m L. berla are 50 ntolerable, that to escape them the unhappy crlopst accepts the alternative of slavery in the West Indies.
 ' The fact of this universal prosecution of the slave-trade, despite leg.l penalties anl vigilant sluadrons, demonstrates the inability of govern m9nts to contend against the nature of things and the necessities of humanity Mlnkind must have supply of the tropical productions. It Is essential to their comfort and to the devel- opment of civilization. But the labor of the negro, or of some other inferior race. is an in. dipensable condition Of tropical cul5ivation.- More than that, Providence has clearly indicat- ed, by the moral and physical constitution of the negro, that he s desoned to work in the rays oi vertical sun, and under the direction of an intelligent master. The culture of the tropical products Is the final cause Of the negroes crea- tl"n. Governments then, nee not trouble themselves about the slave. Niece ,sity knows no law Nature Is stronger than the ,cruples "f asckly conscience pr the restraints of le sSla- tive enactment. The tropics d4mand and will secure an adequate supply of slave labor.
