AFRICAN LA1eR-suFPLT Assoct-
! TIE accounts which reach Us Of the frequent |
handing Il cazgoes Of freshly imported All
cans upon bur coasts, aud Of their dispersion |
among The planscrs 4 the extreme Southern
States, do not furnish the only evidence of a
settled purpose On the part Of the Southern
Democracy to change the policy If the govern
ment with respect to the Slave trade To en-
gage in that trade in the face Of existing laws
declaring 1t to bo piracy, md while the Con
vcn,ion between the governments Of tic Uni
ted States and Great Britain fot the maintan-
ance Of vessels Of war upon tho coast Of Afri.
ca is suppression, continues tobe observed,
is Intended with more or less risk; and it is
not probable that those who have entered up
on it "a business pursuit would hive done
80 did they not have full faith in the early ,rc-
moval of these restrictions. By the aid Of
their Democratic brethren in the free States
they are enabled in good part to cyade the Law
Of Congress against the informal traffic; but it
il no part Of their intention to be reduced to
The necessity Of falwaysta1sins those precautions
which ere requisite to that end. Nothing but
an open held-:on unconditional repeal Of the
offensive law-:Eil satisfy them, and this they
arc determined sooner or Inter to have. We
do not anticipate any direct movement towards
this cad in the Democratic Convention which
Is 10 assemble at Charleston next year. The
repeal Of tic Missouri Compromise was not
demanded by the Baltimore Convention Of 1852,
but tho Democracy carried that measure tri-
umphanuy in 1854. Its adoption rs part Of
tho party creed in 1852, would have dcfeated
the election Of Mr. Pierce and indefinitely
postponed, il not forever prevented, its pas
sage. So the incorporation into the Charles
ton platform Of a demand for the repeal Of the
laws against the African Slave Trade, would
render the success Of the ticket Which will
then and there be put in nomination, an impos-
sibility. This the Democracy know perfectly,
and they will maintain profound silence upon
: the very question in which they feel the deep
est interest Nevertheless, should they dupe
the North into their support and so re.ain the
federal government in their own keeping, they
will Just as assuredly repeal those laws before
tie Presidential election Of 1864, rs they did
tue Missouri Compromise in 1854.
It is only necessary for the South to approx
imate unanimiiy Of sentiment upon this sub
jet to secure the cooperation Of their brett,-
r.n ut the North, and to find Some leader If
the hitter who will, like Douglas i'll 1854, ini~
tiate and hoad the movement in Congress.
This would hare been done during the present
administration, were the South united upon the
eubject Tho movement is only delayed until
the South IL ripe for il, aud it Ill not be post
poncd moment beyond that event. If tic De-
mocracy be permitted to triumph in 1860.
