The Slave Trade.
A writer la the Anrnst.

A writer in the Augusta Consti-
nationalist has a new question to
on this subject. Ho says:
sSuppose a schooner to sail from
Richmond, Va, With three hunded
slaves for the Galveston marker, and
on her trip was arrested by a United
States brig or ship Of war, would
The negroproperty be lost. and the
captain and crew be seized and pun
ished? If such a traffic is. allowed
by law, and rs sound in principle and
policy, l cannot understand what
equitable right exists to interfere
with such schooner and its cargo il
the negroes be purchased beyond the
limits of the United States. With.
in the limits of the Union the slave
trade is recognized, bat the law de-
.clares it piracy if the trade is carried
on outside Of the Union. There
appears to me to be something wrong
about this, The A bolitionists de.
clare the slave trade VIZ opg every
where, while there are Southern men
who insis. that it is right among us,
but piracy when carried on from any
foreign port. Being in favor Of the
slave trade among the Southern
States, from principle and policy, /
cannot stuItify myself into opposi-
ton to the slave trade from foreign
ports.
