There is no party in the United States, be-
sides the Opposition to Democracy in the
South, who advocate or are in favor Of the
rsvivsl of the African slave trade Chicago
Times.
lf the Times had tried to misrepresent the
facts, it could not have succeeded more COM
ple.ely. The Democracy at the South favor
the revival; Stephens, Rhett, Yancey, JEFF.
Davis, Forsyth, McRae, all prominent Dem
ocrats, do not conceal their opinions +; Demo
cratic Legislatures have discussed the scheme
with favor, and the Democratic press 60
either for legalizing the trade or for open
ing it in defiance OF law. We do not know
an opponent to Democracy who favors the
re-opening of the slave trade. The Savan-
nah Republican, q sound opposition paper,
opposed to the revival Of the traffic, is COM
PEELED to eoncede that the measure 10 grow
ing upon Southern opinion, and states, in ii.
lustration Of the fact, that nine -tenths Of the
delegates in the Democratic Congressional
Convention Of that District, went for the re-
peal Of the laws against the slave trade,
while every single aspirant for the nomina.
ton declared himself for the revival Of the
trade. According to the Republican, there
are two classes Of the slave trade party, one
going for the actual revival Of the trade, the
other for the repeal Of the laws against it,
not because they care about the trade, but
because those laws are q standing moral
condemnation Of Slavery.-lLouisville Jour.

Iowa swamp Land Grants.

A few days since the Secretary Of the In
terror gave further exposition Of the decis-
ion Of the Department in reference to certain
lands in Iowa, which, selected as swamp
lands under the grant of September %, 1850,
are also designated as lands which would fall
to the State Of Iowa under another grant for
railroad purposes. The confirmation OF the
selection of these lands AZ swamp has for
some time been suspended, bacause Of af6da-
Wits being on fle in the Land Office, repre-
senting them to be dry. The Secretary hold
ing that further delay would be Of greater
detrinent both to the State and the United
States than any error that can occur in in
structng the General Land Gf6ce, he says,
il the title Of the State under the grants for
railroads to the particular tracts now under
discussion had not vested prior to the Sd oil
March, 1857, he thinks Congress, BY the act,
has decided that the land should pass under
the swamp grant; and with cases Of that kind
they might At once proceed with the certif-
cation and patenting of the tracts.

Democracy In oregon.

The Democratic party in Oregon, - else
where, is divided into factions, and much
bitterness prevails amongst the leaders
against each other. A correspondent OF Z
St. Louis paper says, that between the two
divisions Of the Democracy there is gull
wide and deep and bridgeless. The Free
State portion Of the party have no influence
in the appointments. Deadly, really the
strongest pro-slavery man in the State, has
been appointed District Judge. Thayer,
who tried oil his little ability permitted to
make Oregon Slave State, has received the
District Attorneyship, and soon every YES
tige Of Free Stateism will be swept out Of
the Land Office, and the Superintendent Of
Indian Affairs 10 to be removed himself
Judge Williams wishes to 60 to the Senate
but Lame and his myrmidons say "No, h
wrots that blasted abolition letter in faro,
Of making Oregon q free State"
Wherever the patronage OF the Admins
trstion can be exerted the Free State portion
Of the Democracy, the opponents OF Slave
~ extension and Slavery domination have
no show. Our National Government il sc
strongly committed to Slavery, under Demo
cratic influences, that it will eventually crusl
out every man in the Democratic party whe
dares to raise bis voice against it.
