TIE SLAVE TRApE--A correspondent ofthe
New York Herald still insists that some sixty
or seventy cargoes have been landed on the
Southern coast. He charges that these ves-
scls are all fitted out at the North. From his
letter We make the following extract:
1t seems also to be well understood that
the large proportion of vessels engaged in the
slave traffic arc not Only built at The North,
bur are fitted out there, with 4 full knowledge
o! the use to which they are destined, aud
with m eye to share in the profits. Of their
nciarious expedition. Upon this subject it
will be exceedingly difficult: TO get proof, and
vet ! aia morally sure, from hints | have
Lcar; cast gu, here 1ilatlh are actually two
vtssels being prepared at this moment for a
slave tip form the port Of New York, and
that y considerable number Of such vessels are
being made ready for SEA in the New England
States. Touriow Weed may deny this, aud
Tie very nature Of the case prevents my being
allie to give proofs but what [ state will bi.
c!cayc to the mind OF every Souhener.

A Mothers Love.
BY FINLEY JOHNSON.

BY FINLEY JOHNSON.
Oh, there is still within the world
A brilliant, fadeless light,
Which, like star, shincth through clouds
Of sorrows darkest night
Which hovers round her pathway here,
Where'er we may rove;
It is the light reflected from
& mothers holy love.
There is boon-a blessed boom
Unto us mortals given,
Which gives us here foretaste of
The happiness Of heaven;
And when the storms of sorrow rise,
And clouds grow dark above,
1t fingers round us to the last:
That boon-a mothers love.
'Tis true that oft our footsteps roam
Through pleasures fow'ry maze,
And we forget the ties Of home,
In sins deceitful ways;
Yet there's charm to lure US back,
Like some poor weary dove
That charm, so pure and beautiful,
Is mothers holy love.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald, a Black Re-
publican paper, lets off the following:
1.-THE South in two years, will present an
undivided front in favor of the repeal of the,
laws against Slave piracy. Before thenext
Congress expires, the South-somc giving
one reason, some another-will be as perfect
q unit on the repeal of the laws making the
Foreign Slave Trade piracy, as it now is in
aco uiescing in the repeal of the Missouri Com.
promise. And mark further; the Democratic
party will espouse the cause of the South"

The Last Lecture.

The Lecture Of the Rev. Mr.. Merrill,
on Thursday evening, was upon the - Re.
sponsi ciites Of Statesmen" The theme
was one not calcu ated to claim the in.
terest of an audance generally. 1t was
treatei, however, with considerable logical
acumen, and in a style which could hardly
fail to engage those who relish political
philosophy. We we're obliged to dissent
from some of his premises, which, in our
mind, carried disturbance through the
whole line of the argument. We are far
from regarding the statesman of this day
as being charged with the destinies of
mankind to anything like the extent rep
resented by the lecturer. Indeed We re-
gard the great statesman, the successful
statesman, less as a great cause than as a
true exponent and representative of pop
ular opinion. Taking the opposite ground
the speaker very naturally argued that
the statesman is responsible, not to his
constituency, but to his own highest judge
ment and to the higher law. In other
words he shaped his theories upon the
Hamiltonian model in opposition to the
Jeffersonian. If it were indeed true, that
the statesman shapes public opinion, and
that his wisdom is paramount to the aggre-
gate wisdom OF the people, then his
philosophy could stand (; otherwise it
must fall, Our belief is that when
a people has arrived at point of Ell
lightenment which makes self government
safe and desirable, then the deliberate,
well expressed ju gment of that people,
or a majority of them, is the safest direc-
ton, that nation can have; aud the
statesman before he puts himself in oppo-
sition to such clearly expressed popular
will may we'll consider whether he is not
defying the will Of God.
The political history of the Anglo Sax
on race is recital of a series Of combats,
eff the masses of the people with statesmen
in which every step of progress marks a
success of the former, and discum6ture
to the latter; and We accept the propo-
sition, that with people prepared for re-
publican institutions The more widely the

WASHINGTON June Odd

" hShlNOlON y uIC SOU
The friends Of Judge Douglas here are
in possession of the following letter ex-
planning his position on the subject of the
Presidency, and of which they have per-
mitteG copy to he taken for publication.
WASHINGTON, June %, 1859.
Ny Dear Sir: / have received your
letter inquiring whether my friends are at
liberty to present my name TO the Charles.
ton Convention for the Presidential NOM
nation. Before the question can be final
ly determined, it will be necessary to un-
derstand distinctly upon what issue the
canvass is to be conducted.
If, as have full faith they will, the
Democratic party shall determine in the
Presidential election of 1860, to adhere
to the principles embodied in the compro.
mise measures of 1850, and ratified by
the people in the Presidential election Of
1852, and reafirmed in the Kansas-Ne-
braska act of 1854, and Incorporated into
the Cincinnati platform in 1856, as ex-
pounded by Mr.. Buchanan in his letter
accepting the nomination, and approved
by the people-in that event my friends
will be at liberty to present my name to
the Convention, if they see proper to do
SO. If. on the contrary, it shall become
the policy of the Democratic party
which / cannot anticipate-to repudiate
these their time.honored principles on
which we have achieved so many patriotic
triumphs, and in lieu of them the Con-
vention shall interpolate into the creed
of the party such new issues as the re-
vival of the African slave trade, or a
Congressional slave code for the Terrific
ries. or the doctrine that the Constitution
of the United States either establishes or
prohibits slavery in the Territories, beyond
the power of the people to control it as
other property, it is due to candor to say
that in such an event conld not accept
the nomination if rendered 10 me.
Trusting that this answer will be deemed
sufficiently explicit, am, very respect
fully,
Your friend, s. A. DOUGLAS.
