The Slave Trade.

The Sdrdnndh Rfpubliedn says that "should
the friends Of the slave trade succeed in reopen
ing it, oven partially. thu first result will he per
feet avalanche Of blacks upon from tho burdsr
States the second, an oycr-productiun of cotton:
and, lastly, the utter prostration Of tho wages of
labor"
The Republican is tight in two Of it's conclu-
sions, we think, and wrong in the third. I'M
doubtedly, if the sla, ctrade rcopcncl. there
would be an production Of cotton. and prostIa
ton fthc wages of ahor-but there would be ava
lanche Of slaves from the border States. The no
verse effect would be produced. If the slave trade
were re-opcncd, negroes would he cheap in the
South that there would he no further drain from
Virginia and the other border States. There
would in fact be refux from the Southland
the planters of Niignn would 60 down South to
get cheap slaves for the cultivation of their corn
a nd wheat and tobacco.
AT present, so great il the demand for cotton,
aud 40 inndcquaels the supply that the planters of
the South have not labor enough to produce it
They have plenty Of lnod. but not n suficicnry Of
labor. This is the reason why slaves are SO high.
This Is the reason they are r.,ng in value every
day. They are more profitable in the cultivation
OF cotton in the South than they are in the culya-
ton Of our staples here. Hence it is we such
II drain upon the border States.
But we, of the border States cannot supply
them as fast as they are needed. 1t is for this
reason there is such clamor in the South for the
re-opening of the slave trade. II it were reopen
Q d, the Cotton States would not only get plenty
OF slaves. but get them much cheaper than at pre-
sent. 1t would stop the drain upon the border
States,and would seriously deprecate the value Of
the slaves we now have.
The increased production OF cotton. consequent
upon such step, would put down the price Of the
article ut first by overlooking the market But
the demand for cotton is increasing rapidly cv-
cry year that the depression in prices would lie
only temporary. Long continued and costly cx-
periments have demonstrated the fact that the
United States is the only country in which cotton
can be successfully and probably cultivated.
The idea of re-opening the slave trade is utter
ly impracticable at present, and it is waste of
words to discuss it. Its disadvantage to us in Vr-
GINA would be the heavy depreciation in the value
OF our slaves. Its advantage would be that by
retaining our present slave property among us,
there is no probability that fidelity to the in,
stitution would ever be shaken. When slaves can
be imported from Africa at a cost Of one hundred
and fifty dollars apiece, there would be no buying
OF them IN Virginia Mt twelve hundred dollars, Of
course. But as long As it is 30 much more profit.
able to employ them in the cultivation of cotton
than the staples Of our own State, we may expec,
nothing else than that the drain upon US will con.
tnue for all time to come.

There are two notable circumstances connected
with the above call The first is. thatit is signed
by "B. B. French, President" A few years ago,
French was leading Democrat, and in consider
alton Of his services to the party was elevated TO
the responsible end lucrative post Of Clerk OF the
United States House Of Representatives. We be-
lieve he Immediately preceded the immaculate
Forney in that position. Nen we find him Presi-
dent Of the Black Republican Association of
Washington City. lIc was one Of those Nation
al" Democrats from the North Of whose fidelity
we hear 40 much boast from their Southern allies.
But, at the first moment-as soon rs he is turned
out of ofRce--we fnd him whipping over to the
Black Republicans. and actually becoming Pres
dent Of their metropolitan Association No doubt
Mr.. French. like Hale and Sumner, and Banks
aud Fremont, finds the transition IN exceedingly
