THE oooL1E TRADE.

The Coole trade, as authorized and encouraged by
Governments, and participated in by people, which
and who ever bilious with chronic flow Of vrtu
ous indignation over the African slave trade Is ten
times more barbarous than the latter would be we re
the slaves actually kidnapped from freedom-as they
are notand the horrors Of their passage across the
ocean magnied ten fold. The continually recurring
accounts of suffering and mortality on board the
Cooic ships, are actually frlghtful to contemplate
they are mere hospitals of diseased and starving
wretches, and the voyage is accounted prosperous,
from fifteen to twenty per cent do not die before its
several months duration is at an end, and the i'm
prsoned sufferers transferred to scarcely more
desirable lot controlled by the masters whose interest
1t is to grind as much possible out Of them durin
their period Of temporary servitude.
The general supposition is that the Coolies trans.
portaton is with bis voluntary consent, and SO
it might have been in the first few instances of ship
ment but it is very different affair now, they have
had their eyes opened and there are no more volun
teers and recent developments show that the cargoes
are at this time mostly supplied by parties Of kid
nappers, who prowl about the Chinese coasts and
rivers in small vessels and boats seizing any indvid
uals of the lower classes who come within their
reach and hurryng them off to depots on the neigh
boring islands, or at other stations Of more publicity
where they confined in barracoons until they are
shipped. This is most villainous business, worse
than the African slave trade possibly could be made
by the most ingenious cruelty for whereas the latter
only transfers the british negro from his miserable
condition of enslavement by pagan masters in that
barbarous land to comfortable and improving state
of bondage in America, the former kidnaps free
and comparatively civilized men from their homes to
transport them with every circumstance Of cruelty tt
state of slavery of SO oppressive and exacting q
character that but few survive to the period oil

hood of Louisville, KY, where he had been residing
to the city of Superior, Wis, taking with him two
young girls, considered his slaves, adorned with as
fair skins as most of the white girls of Detroit. On
Monday last Mrs. Moore, with the two girls started
by the steamer North Star visit to their friends
in Kentucky under the care of gentleman named
Bright. On the way down some of the colorad
walters the boat discovered the destination of the
party, and with the characteristic jealousy of the
free negro resolved to rescue the girls from what
they considered their impending fate. Accordingly,
on their arrival at Detroit, the arrangements being
preconcerted, they opened communication with the
horde Of darkes on the wharf, and having thus se-
cured sufficient force entered the cabin, and sur
rounding the younger an interesting girl of thirteen
hustled her ashore and on to the ferry boat Undne
which Immediately left the Dock and had reached the
Canada side before any counter rescue could be at,
tempted The elder girl refused to land, and by lock
ing herself in her staeroom prevented the rescuers
using force. Those concerned in the affair assert that
both girls had consented to leave the boat at Detroit
but that the elder became ntmidated and thus rus-
trated the plan.
Considerable excitement was manifested in the
neighborhood of the foot of Woodward avenue where
the boat lay particularly among the colored draymen
and others there congregaed. The captain Of the
Star, having promptly discharged all the boat hands
connected with the affair, proceeded on his way tc

Speeches before the Convention.

The Convention passed q resolution inviting oui
Senators and Representatives in Congress TO address
their body.
Tuesday morning Col. Davis delivercFs speech ol
two hours in length. We were more p5sased with II

out boldly in declaring unconstitutional The Fedora
laws against the reopening OF the slave trade "a
vorea the withdrawal Of our squadron from the cosst
of Africa, and snnulng our treaty stipulahons on
tne subject He thought the subject belonged exciu
s,vely TO the States, and that Congress should lei
snem regulate il TO suit their wants. He favored the
acquisition Of Cuba, honorably il we could but forc
DIy II We must. He thought The election Of Black
hepIbeaa 70 the Presidency sufficient cause Or
olssolutloB OF the Union, and took strong SoutAsrn
grounds thg0ughout. We repeat, it was the bodest
and apiest enort we ever heard fall from the lips Of
yenerson DAVIS. Tuesday evening Capt. VIM. Barls-
oale addressed the convention in a bold and able
manner giving evidence that his heart was with the
soatn, and bis arm ready to maintain her coustitu-
tonal rights. AS- '-'N
Our faithful representative, Col, Singleton then
took the stand and delivered short hut able and in

which representative Of the South should occuny'
save on the subject Of reopening the slave trade lie
doubts that 1t Is the policy Of the South though he
thinks the Federal laws on the subject unconstit1-

we will then try and convince him that it would be

alas the winds carried off the Clouds sometimes to
Red river, sometimes to Bayou des Glaises. We see
the rain falling at the horizon and the inhabitants Of
the prairie, like Tantalus of old, behold their hopes

for want of water.
We add that in other parts of parish rains are
abundant, and the crops are magnificent. Never has
cotton been SO forward and SO fine as this year.
