the utmost the advantages circumstances
threw in our way, we conld have been the op-
jects of more bitter hostility, not only among

Of those whose edues.tion and information

possibly live to repent our generositY. we
may possibly live to ind that our moderation
has been displayed towards those who CANNOT

LORD BRorGHAA OK TEE sLAvR TRADH And
TIE WAR IN AMERICA.
The sixth annual meeting Of the Social Sci
ence Congress commenced in London on the
5th instant; Lord Brougham (noW eighty
three years Of age) delivering the inaugural
address IS chairman. This speech, remark
able as the production Of vigorous old man,
who still preserves his faculties almost in I'LL
diminlahed strength, treats, among other
| topics, Of the African slave trade, and the War
In the United States. OF the alaSe trade,
Lord Brougham said:
| aThe lessons taught BY the sad event in the
| once United States, and By the faults in their
| constitution, have been stated but there is
| happily 3 spot in the recent aspect OF their
| affairs which is most pleasing to contemp plate,
! and whose brightness We may anxious1y hope
that no outbreak Of the multitude viii be
suffered to obscure. The Northern govern
ment, to its infinite honor, has at length
agreed to tie mutal right Of search-in other
| words, to abolish all that remains Of the slave
| trade It has long been known that the greater
part Of that internal traffic is carried on In
American ships sailing under false colors, none
OF their OWL cruisers interfering effectually.
Both the English and French cruisers can now
| visit each suspected vessel; and the traffic is
at an end. I regard this as the second real
blow struck at the slave trade. The first was
the act which had the happiness Of passing
through Parliament just half q century ago,
for Furnishing it as q great crime, instead OF
| treating it as merely c0ntraband-a law soon
after adopted by America, but never TIL of
late really executed Let us hope that oa1
government mny be encouraged by mis- fEfs-
portant SUCCESS to use with Spain hnEnage
no longer capable Of being misunderstood,
and peremptoriIy to demand the cxesshion d
the contract for which she received so hrga q
sum Of money, aud which she has evar since
most scandalous1y broken in all nlanncr o1
ways, making the slave trade regular means
of enriching her colonial governors sent to re-
eruit their ruined fortunes By bribcs from
felons, the result being the Importation lrte
