The Slave Trnde--BIn for it. Suppression

The Slave Trade--Bil for its Suppression.
The facts which have transpired during the
past year demonstrate that the Slave Trade
along our Southeastern coast has been re-
opened with vigor and success. Through the
negligence Of the Administration and its Of
icials the horrid traffic in human flesh has
become nearly as uninterrupted between the
coast of Africa and the coast of America as
between the Slave States of this boasted free
republic, and although two or three slavers
were captured several months, ago not one of
the "pirates" has been convicted and pun
ished. Two slayers, with over 900 negroes
on board, have recently been captured and
the officers held to trial, which like the 9TH
ers will probably end in mere mockery of
justice. The U. S. District Courts of the
South, as now Demoeratically constituted, viii
continue to discharge every Slave trader ar
raigned before them.
This state of facts has led to the intrOdue-
ton in the Senate by Mr.. Wilson, of Mass,
of a stringent bin for the suppression of the
foreign slave trade. The Democrats in tho
Senate will no doubt vote against it in obedi-
ence to Southern dictaton, and it win die in
that body. The bill has been referred to the
Judiciary Committee. It proposes to fit out
five steam sloops-of-war, to cruise on the
coast of Africa; TO increase the bounty to Of
hcers and men for the capture Of slayers; to
enlarge the powers and increase the duties Of
District Attornies, U. S. Judges, and Com
missioners, in relation to the importation Of
Africans; to change the penalty for beng
found on board Of SLAYER engaged in the
slave trade, from death to imprisonment for
life; to make it felony, subject to the same
penalty, to engage in fitting out slayers; to
subject any vessel to forfeiture, and punish
her crew with Imprisonment that shall hoist
the American flag at sea, when not duly
registered American vessel; to require every
master of vessel about to sail for Africa to
notify the District Attorney, that his vessel
may be examined; to make the sale of every
vessel on the coast of Africa illegal, and to
require every sale of vessel in North and
South America, the West Indies, the Cape de
Verds, or near the coast of Africa, to be in
the presence of a Q. s. Minister or Consul,
under oath that she is not to engage in the
slave trade, and to return home for new
register.

The abolition Of tolls on merchant vessels
passing through the Canada Canals, is new
feature ID PROVINCIAL Canal policy. 1t was
contested in the Canadian Parliainent BY the
disunienists Of the Upper Province, but I'M
successfully. HenceiOrth the produce of the
Western States and Of Upper Canada, taking
the ST. Lawrence route TO the ocean, will have
the advantage Of nearly free transit through
long line of artificial navigation The new
Provincial law provides that American ves-
sells passing through the Welland Canal shall
pay toll as usual but that they shall be en-
title i0-a drawback Of ninety per cent of the
amount paid if they afterwards go to a Cana
dian port ten per cent. being retained to pay
the cost of collection and return.
Last year the number of vessels passing
through the Canals Of Canada was 20, zee,
with tonnage of 2,455,O2l. Of these, az
500 were Canadian, with tonnage of l.
s2s ss3, r Deduct soO, 900 tons for the traffic
on the local canals, from which The tolls are
not removed, and there is still balance of
Canadian over American tonnage of s26, ,6ss.
The Buffalo Courier says the predominance
Of benefit to Canadian commerce from abo-
lition of the tolls, will not be, however, in
anything like so large a proportion. For,
small as may be the difference produced in
favor of the st, Lawrence route by remission
of these dues, il viii still attract large di-
version Of trade from the States, unless ooun-
teracted by corresponding diminution of
charges upon our own routes.
The new Canadian policy can hardly fail to
have a depressing influence on the business
of such localities as Buffalo and OswegO. The
Oswego Times thus comments:
Now that the scheme is cOnsumated we
hope and trust the American Ship Canal will
be constructed. Two years ago the project
was thought feasibible, and if such a canal
was demanded then il most certainly is now.
The subject should be brought before Con-
gress, and with the right men to father the
bill an appropriation might be secured. That
done the States would be independent Of
Canadian authority, so far as it is exercised
over maratne affairs, and the Welland left TO
the entire accommodation of that people who
are now attempting to indirectly force Ameri-
cans to patronize Cananian ports The au-
thorities of Canada have inaugurated meas
ure which will eventually deprive her of
many benefits.

The SUPREME JUDGEsHIP.-I learn that the
friends Of Hon. William Lawrence, Of Logan
County, viii urge his nomination ct the June
Convention, for Judge of the Supreme Court.
Judge Lawrence is well known to most of
the leading Republicans of Ohio having
served the State ably first as Reporter to
Court in Bank, next and for many years, as
amsmber of the House and Senate, and for
two years past as President Judge Of the
First Judicisl Circuit. Ny acquaintance with
him commenced twenty-four years ago, when
we were fiboys together in college, and !
have known him intimately since have a
general acquaintance with the public msR Of
tie State, and know none of phrer life or
better qualified to give dignity and character
to the Supreme Court of Ohio, than my old
friend William Lawrence. CLEvELAND.

Lincoln and Hamlin in Sc. Louis.
Ten thousand Republicans assembled in
St. Louis the evening of the 22d to ratify the
nominations Of Lincoln and Hamfn. F. H.
Manter Esq, formerly an Elyria boy, presi-
ded. The Democrat says it was such meet
ing as Behton,s presence was wont to call
forth, and the spirit evinced by the speakers
was of the most decided order. There was
no lowering of the tone, no apologizing. On
the contrary the standard was full high ad-
-vanced. Excelsior was the motto of each
successive speaker The bugaboo Of the ire
pressible conflict had no terrors for the audi
ence or the orators. When Mr.. Blair, who
was unusually happy in his remarks, quoted
" ashington In defence of Lincoln's declara-
ton, that the house will cease to be divided
the greeting with which it was received at
tested the intensity Of the sentiment of free
dom cherished in this community. The quo

Washington's letters to Lafayette, in which
he expressed the hope that the, confederacy

WILLIAM Fl. SEwARD.-Hon. George 81.
Lunt. of Boston, has lately written poem
entitled the '.Union," from which we clip the.
following graphic descriptions of the great
irrepressible conflict man:
Solemn in aspect, and mature OF years, So
Astutus rises address his peers.
At the listening Senate audience lends,
Even eager beauty from the gallery bends.
No outward signs betray ambition rage,
Perehance his ripe experience makes him sage.
Yet craffiest statesmen, TO be truly wise,
Need something more than barely mind and eyes,
Astutus speaks-the labored phrases flow,
Too cold for passion, for effect too slow;
That voice emotion pether feels nor calls
Tame on the ear the meas ured accent falls;
No warm vibration IN the cadence rings,
No flash leaps radiant on the spirits wings
Often the thought intense lies hid beneath
Words that, rswords, swords within the sheath;
At best he paysa metayhy sic part,
Skilled to conceal, but not to speak the heart.
Cold as he seems, he battles for the prize,
Plays with consummate art and stoopS to rise.
Abstracted now, as If, there seems beeind,
Another audience rose upon his mind;
Within the chamber absent, for without
His soul is hearkening for the rabble's shout
Yet, when the prey he chased long seems caught,
10, the base pack this Actseon taught,
migrate and fierce, upon the huntsn an flies,
And be, the martyr, TO his teachings dies

lS-Col LANDoN G. HAYNES. Breckenridge
Yancey elCctor for the State at large, in bis
speech on Broad Street night before last,
said that LINCOLN was the man to be beaten
in the pending Presidential contest. But he
failed TO explain how BRECKENRIDGE could be
reasonably relied upon to do it. Col. HAYNES
certainly cannot entertain the slightest be-
lief that BRECKENRIDGE can carry single
Northern State. He cannot help from know
ing that if the whole North votes for LIN
coin and The whole South for BRECKINRIDGE,
the former would be successful. We ask him
and every intelligent person who heard him,
if the tenor and tendency of his remarks did
not lead to this end. Such will be the result
if the mad course Of the Breckenridge party
is successful. Let the people be warned in
time
