three four years since, it hailed with general
en,husia,m-not that it WAS go delightful or proper
Ting in Itself, but because il was at all events
no7el.y. And now We are glad TO perceive that
our Southern brethren have achieved another sddi-
ton TO the attractions and indictments CT these
Faiys, as We learn from tie following ph
from Tie Sarannah Georgian:

nsI-a premium calculated to excite a sensation.
Twenty FIVE dollars for the best specimen of
live AtIican'-that 10 TO say slave African, fer
Georgia allows the importation of noas other
WHO must have been imported within :he last year
Ard, as demand and supply recIprocaly excite each
other, ga fine young prince, relative of the Kiog
"of DAhomey, is already booked to take the prize
unless q better assortment of bones and muscles
shall be exhibited as there very likely will be,
siLce tie Rawlins is pretty well understood to have
brought in go human ch.tttls on her recent arr
val; and hers is no. the only earg, of alive Aft-
cans imported within the last year. II is
.afe to estimate the number of slaves import cd
from Africa within this year at twice that Of the
slaves emsncipated and shipped to Liberia. So
rg for slavery to de OFT under present auspices
ls likely to be 7ery patient business.
In the above-cited premium, the Georgians have
certainly stretched the doctrine of Free Trade a
little farther then We remember 10 have seen il
drawn out before. We are al familiar with the
ssfe maxim that "a white MAJ is as good a. a
negro, if be CITY behaves binself which too
nary, unfortunately, don't-ahd We have always
Understood the FIee.Trade rule to be that foreign
iabrc or prodrct is to be referred to homemade
ore wheLeyer i is cheaper. But tee Georgians,
~bQ are Themselves extensive growers Of regroes,
propose to give premium, not for toe 6nest
specimen Of homegrown slaye, bu. for the
choicest rival product, fresh from the sands Of
Africa. Is not this rather running the thing
into the ground ?"
