SLAVE TRADE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

SLAVE TRADE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
We had hoped that the late expression OF opinion
by the press OF all parties throughout the South
would have caused the agitation Of the African
Slave Trade to have ceased. But we find that ag
ta,iOn is continued in South Carolina, though it
threatens even there to become sectional issue
tending to division of the State. The sup country"
and 'ow country" parties seem divided upon this
question, and we find in the "Mercury's" correspon-
dent, "Walewski,'' n.mations Of willingness ITO
draw the sword and throw away the scabbard" in de
fence of convictions maiured by reason and rehec-
tion The paper informs its readers that Waewskis"
communication is published "out of respect for it's
author and not because we endorss his policy"-and
adds
In Justice to him we would say too that the article
was written before the late letter OF Secretary COBB,
which conclusive to the legality OF importing
either slaves or apprentices from Africa. we nave
often expressed our opinion that the agitation OF
this question as a practical thing in the Union, is
calculated than any other to divide and parsyze
the South 10 her efforts TO stay the progress OF North
aggression, that would seem superhuous TO re.
peat it, TO SGT the matter al rest, however, once tor
all, go far as we concerned. We shall take early
opportunity to define our position at length beyond
mlsconstruction."
We await with considerable interest to see the
"Mercury's" position" upon this question That
paper has long and ably represented the views OF
South Carolina politics, that declaration OF it's views
upon this question will tend very much TO quiet
discussion which only "tends to divide and paraze
the South" We should judge that there was little or
difference OF opinion between the Enquirer" and
the Mercury" upon this question. 1t was the ten.
dency to division of Southern interests and feelings
that prompted 10 20 srenuously oppose this mea.
sure and TO differ from some of warmes personal
and political friends We desrs TO seq no question
sgilated which aenates portion of the South from
another. We wish to see unity and harmony all over
the slave territory of Union. Virginia and South
Carolina have too long stood shoulder to shoulder in
the Issues that have distracted country, to be d.
vded now by question iraught only with specula.
tive advantages to either.
In this connection we refer to the eloquent and ar
gunentatve speech of Mr. HUNTER CT Georgia,
which we publish to-day. The facts and figures
which he brings forward III opposition to re- open
my Of the slave trade, il not such rs to convince
every reader Of the mpolcy Of the measure, will
richly repay attentive perusa
