watching England closely and hoping she viii take scch
rash step, in order that he may send Ireland

THE MARsHALs AND THE SLAVE TRADE.
It will be remembered that the United states Mashas
Of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
Connecticut New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, ne
and Mlrylandbeing all those whoso districts Elm
brace ports of entry in the loyal Satcs-Inet at.New
York for the purpose of consulting together to devise
eecua for the suppression Of tho African
slave trade The scheme adopted by them will
rly not be made public, but ii is understood to he such
will, in very short time put complete eyingnisher
upon this neiarious and inhuman raicat least so ar
as the citizens of own country are con
cerned. These officers have entered upon this
subject with great zeal and determination and slonld
they realize their expectations they will deserve tbs
nraise and thanks of the whole country, indeed Of the
civilized world. The general system which they hav,
adopted for their operations is Of the ingenious cha
racter and those parties who have been engaged tn
fitting Of vessels ard secretly carrying an extern
sye trade and amassng large fortunes almost with inpu
nty will find now that their occupation is gone. The
most complete system has been instituted, and il car
ried ont properly, it will not be long before mpor
tant arrests will be made. Men worth their hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars in the Northern cities to-day
crety aiding and cooperating with notorious characters
gagged in the slave traffic and unless greatly mistaken
bright morning they will be suddenly aroused from
their quiet sumbers by gentle tap at the door Of their
elegant pans.6a, by one of these guardians of the
public, communicating intelligence which will probably
bring them to q realizing of their danger
