Judge douglass on the Slave Trade.

We COPY from the Vindioator letter from
Senator Douglas, addressed to Col. John L..
Peyton, of this county. The greater part OF the
letter, it will be seen, is devoted to the African
slave trade question, The writer objects to re-
opening the trade solely on account OF the "com'
promise " in regard to the subject, which was a.
greed to when the Constitution was framed
He raises no other objection, but possibly
thinks one good reason sufficient. We, howev-
or, prefer the position of Gov. Wise, who, in his
recent letter to Adolpho Wolfe and Others, says
81 can easily defend the Slavery of the Uni
ted States as it now exists and has existed, from
first to last, and show that it is now, at least,
well founded on principles wholly opposed to
the re opening of the African Slave trade that
the one is wholly irreconoilable with and OPP
posed to the other; and the reopening of this
trade would be as offensive to the moral sense OF
the large majority of Shareholders and of the
people of the South, as to any other people in
our own or in any other country"

TIE CHIRIoUI GOLD DISCOVERIES. --latest ad.
vices from Central America state that the ex-
citemeDt about the gold discoveries in the old
Indian graves in Ohiriqui was drying out. The
following letter, however, dated June Oath, gives
some interesting facts in reference to the dscoy.

therein, took it into his head to dig little deep
or, which brought him to the real grave, where
the body is deposited in coffin of rudely fixed
stones, and there he found the skeleton of the
deceased, together with beautifully worked
bat in gold. Since then it has been asoertained
that every 'huaca' contains gold images in more
or less numbers, the earthenware and other ar
ticles having been bnried only halt way down,
and this explains why up to the present time so
few of the remains Of the bodies had been found
on the graves One man took out Of one grave
in onaday $1,000 worth of things, among which
were three gold plates of the size of desert plates
and the thickness Of a stout tin plate, an eagle
of the sizs Of a span, and many other animals
and insects beautifully manufactured. ,6.p !. +.
''This is the richest grave that has been found
as yet, but none have been opened that have not
produced something. The old man who made
the discovery kept his secret TOR some time, and
it is reported that be succeeded in accommodating

the natives, who report hearing unearthly noises

they attribute to his Sable Majesty, who does
not wish the graves to be molested."

ReCantiDg.

We learn from the Petersburg Intelligencer
that Mr. Pryor, now candidate for Congress, is
recanting some of his hostility to the Opposi-
ton. In a recent speech he confessed 'the in.
Justice he had frequently done their leading
statesmen and desired to blot out the remem-
brance of it." He also admitted the entire
soundness of the Opposition on the slavery
question. Perhaps the saying, "better late than
never" applies to this case Mr.. Pryor's war
fare against the Opposition heretofore has not
been of the ordinary and legitimate kind, but he
seemed to be possessed with sort of fury a.
gainst them, which led him not only to de-
nounce their candidates with extreme violence,
but to hunt out and exterminate private citi-
zens who might possibly become candidates.
We are glad that he has seen and confessed the
error of his ways.

The SEA-SRRpENT CAUGHT-The Yarmouth
Register says that the ar.famed sea-serpent has
lately visited. that port, and was chased up a
narrow creek and caught, He turned out to be
horse mackerel, measuring over eight feet in
length, and weighing BIG pounds. The Regis
ter says: u 1o
''It is the opinion of experienced fishermen,
that this is the fish which have given rise to the
belief in sea serpent. When it is running
at its ordinary speed in search of prey, it
moves along just under the surface of the water,
producing wave which rises up in series Of
corrugatiors for about 100 feet in straight
line, before it falls off into the ordinary spread
ing wake produced by a body moving through
the water. This appearance in moderate wealth
or so closely resembles that of q huge serpent
moving over the surface of the water that tits
difficult, even for those accustomed to the APP
pearauce, to realizeIthat it is nothing but wave,
and it is not strange that, when seen for the
first time, it should strike the heholder with
terror .ie'

Under our constitution there can be no .Just

Citizen should ever be placed.
Neither have you Inexperienced my opin-
;ons in respect to the African Slave trade. That
onastion seriously disturbed the harmony of the
Convention which framed the Federal Consti-
tution. Upon it the delegates divided into two
parties under circumstances which for time
rendered harmonious action hopeless. The one
demanded the instant and unconditional pro-
bibition of the African Slave trade, on moral
and religious grounds While the other insisted
that It was legitimate commerce involving no
other consideration than a sound public policy,
which each State oughtto be permitted to de.
termine for itself so long as it was sanctioned
by its own laws Each party stood firmly and
resolutely by ito own position until both be.
came convinced that this yexed question would
break up the Convention, destroy the Federal
Union. blot out the glories Of the Revolution and
throw away all its blessings unless some fair and
lust compromise could be formed, on the COM
mon around of such mutual concessions as were
indispensable to the preservation OF thelr hoer-
ties, Union and Independence.
Such o compromise was effected and incor-
porated into the Constitution, by which it was
understood that the African Slave trade might
continue as a legitimate commerce in those
States whose laws sanctioned it until the year
1908 from and after which time Congress might
and would prohibit it forever throughout the
dominion and limits Of the United States and
pass all laws which might become necessary to
make suoh prohibition efeetual.

ply the world, but the reader will be surprised
to learn that the export of potatoes from Der.
muda for 1859, shows the handsome increase of
some nine thousand barrels. The expectation OF
onions has reached for the season just closed the
quantity of eight hundred and twenty-five thou
sand one hundred aud thirty pounds. Tomatoes
for the same season (all to the United States) a.
mounted to four thousand five hundred and nine
