-" sinsularly enough, this is the first in
stance in the history Of our country 10 which
a vessel has ceen caught in the act o! slave
trading by our National vessels, and the
parties engaged IN ii, together with the ne
groO.. are all taken to the metropolis. Of So.
Carolina. shortly aitrr movement has been
made by some Of her lcalins men, in favor
Of revival Of the slave trade, after an un-
broken acqulesccncc in its prohibition has
been maintained by the whole country Tor
years. The men engaged in the traffic are
to be tried by a South Carolina jury and
the law demands their punishment by death,
for an act which leading South Carolina
politicians declare should be exempt from all
penalties. Considerable feeling and excite
men; already exist upon the subject, more
particularly, perhaps, with regard TO the
disposal Of the Africans, than the fate Of the
crew. The whole case Is somewhat Of n
Southern parallel for the demonstrations
sometimes made in your northern citias,
when fugitive slaves are arrested for rendi.
ton 10 their masters. Trust, however, that
popular feeling will not be allowed to inter
fure with the faithful execution Of the law.
