Tho DaiIv Free sou,b-Mr. Bailey.


One of the best Anti-Slavery and general
newspapers in the country is the Daily Free
South, published at Newport, Ky, by Mr.,
BAILEY. Its leading editorials discuss the
Slavery question in all its bearings with great
candour and marked ability; and must make
good impression on all who read them. The
Daily, we are glad to hear, has regular cir
culation of fifteen hundred, about one thousand
in Kentucky. 1t is the only daily published
in Newport and Covington, and has been sus-
tanned for some nine years by the almost super
human labors of Mr.. BAILEY and his family.
1t is now established on firm basis, but the
prosecutions he has suffered, and the sacrifices
necessarily made, have embarrassed his home
stead, and somewhat circumscri5ed the field of
the usefulness of the Free South. The circu
Iation has so increased, however, as TO demand
a power press, and with view of obtaining
subscriptions to his journal, Mr.. BAILEY is now
in the city, AMI will remain here and in this
vicinity for some days. We most cordially COM
mend his enterprise to the favor of the public,
for we have seen his paper for years past, and
know it to be outspoken and full of " words
fitly spoken" 1t is to Kentucky what the St.
Louis Democrat is to Missouri and subscribers
on the Western Reserve who contribute to its
support, will aid in scattering the good seed
which is now rapidly taking root South of the
Ohio

The slave Trnde Opeued /.

Itwas stated last summer very positively by
the New Orleans Delta that cargOes of slaves
direct from Africa had been landed in Missis-
sippi, though the accounts were not fully cred
tied in most quarters. By the telegraph report
it will be seen that there is scarcely doubt but
a cargo of some three hundred and fifty negroes
has recently been landed and scattered among
the plantations in the vicinity of Savannah,
Georgia. The farce of looking into the matter
has been undertaken by the authorities, but 1t
will most likely end in smoke. The trade is
too profitable, and considerable portion of the
South too eager to engage in it, to expect any
very thorough steps to suppress the traffic.
though it be declared piracy by ChristendOm, the
greatest slave country in the world included.

spain Declares War Against Mexico:

Such is the telegraph report from Washing
ton. The Philadelphia Press of the 18th says
the Spanish Minister called upon Gen. Cass yes
terday afternoon, and announced that Spain had
declared War against Mexico.
Were Mexico at peace at home, the two cOun
tries would be pretty equally matched without
outside interference. But Mexico is in a poor
condition to fight anybody. Civil war is now
raging, fercer than usual, throughout the coun-
try. Possibly war with Spain may have the
effect to heal divisions and unite all factions
against a foreign enemy. Should Spain really
wage war on a county which the Admimstra-
ton is hankering for, quite likely Uncle Sam
may mix in before it is over, and embrace the
occasion to seize Cuba as a sugar plum to the
slice of Mexico his mouth waters for. War
begun, no telling when or where it will end
Spain may apply the torch to the general mag
aZiue
