The British emancipation net, however human in intention mid just ill principle, together wit similar French edicts, are the cause of tho preset activity in the slave trade. Tho large and f-uitfi tropical possession* of those countries, under tho st perintendeiiceofthst energetic industrial entorprii which eminently marks the Anglo S ixoti raci largely supplied tlie world with products whic could bo drawn in sufficient quantity from no othc sources. Freed from compulsory labor, the sot vile race no longer cared l?>r aught but subsistence and that was easy of procurement by theft, in pet ?on or by proxy. A rapid diminution of productio was the consequence. Plantations of fabulous foi tilily, from decreasing labor, rapidly deteriorate* and their owners became bankrupt in fortune, an their before teeming and fruitful fields were turnc into wildernesses. The coffee, sugar, and fruits < the tropics were so suddenly withdrawn from tli world, when consumption w r steadily inerea*in| that those countries where slavery still existed l>? come doubly valuable. Spain, Brazil, and Aincr en, having the lands ad iptej tosueh supplies, wet stimulated by high prices to increase their growtl The profitable nature of the employments and cr larging cultivable area, enhanced the value ol slat labor, till tho working force was tar below the d< mand. The high rates at which sl.ivi s could li sold caused capitalists to venture into the slave trndi despite tho rigorous laws enacted against the trafTn and thousiud and tens of thousands of Afr cans were thus brought into the |>a??essiousof Spai and Brazil, ard continue to he?<> brought opto th lav. It was in vain that the United States an England, whose lews doolated (he trade pirne; blockaded tlto bars and inlet* of the coast of Afriei or eliasrd tlio illicit vess'-ls on the high sea*?tin mostly effect oil their escape, and met large re war from tlnir venture*.

Froi that lime to the present her slat, smcn have ha their eyes opened, and have adopted various rxped cuts to retrieve the error committed. Willn-rfori and kindred spirits only saw the scheme in one ai peel, or point of view, without contemplating tf legitimate i fleets flowing therefrom with the cci tuinty of destiny. Doubtless, had the qu stion he. scanned in the light of political economy?as *er ous'y affecting industry, the world's wants, and o foril?g t< mptation to cupidity ? there would hav been hesitation, and p. i liaps an nbanHonmcul of th project. And this shows how illy the mere hu inanitarinn is qualified for the dutiec of the staff man, and how cautious the people should he i heeding the ravings of men of only one idea. Th light shed upon the material interests of fire; f-irit.tin by Mr. Culllt an, and the advantages h> act conf. i r? d upon Havrholding countries, have n< been lost. T<> recover front the effects of hasty h*g islntion, England's cruisers arc emptying cargoes < captured slaves iu'o her colonies under the nam of apprentices, und dragging, under rigors not in fcrior to the horrors of the si ive trade in its won days, the poor Coolies from China, to supply their ctcasing demand for cheap and adequate labor t save Iter subjects from utter tuin and her colonic from imminent destruction. T<> (oreo America emancipation is still a dniliug purpose, though th result is now, comparatively speaking, farther o than ever. Her scheme to foster cotton culture i India is a failure.

What is the comfqntncf? Tli tenure of slavery is solid and substantial. Prior arc beyond precedent high. Intrinsic or faclitiou value necessitates greaterenre in treatment. Wlil tlie necessity of keeping production of the great sin pies up to the demand, and the enormous pi ice < the only labor that can bo profitably used, iinpcrioui ly calls fur its increars in some w ay, er the impiwi tion of heavier tasks upon those now engaged i cultivation. Both results follow. And this biiii? u? to the purpose for which we indited there desu lory thoughts. The Now York Herald is doing a service lo tli country in showing that, while the North has bee engaged in a crusade against slavery, chiefly with view to rob the Southron of his propr *ty nnd d. grade him Irom his political tlatus, other Northerr era, by the promise of large nnd rapidly-acquire f 'Millies, ore plunging into the slave trade, coiitri ry to the laws of their country and the wot Id; an to New y. rk belongs the chiif odium and hoiu of this interdicted commerce. From tables prepared by the Herald we lcar that from 1331 to 1S34 there were imported i it I Cuba nnd Brazil no fewer than 130,354 slaves?a nveinge of 34,000 anau ill)*, it is rein.nkril, how ever, tint all were not reported to the "Mixed Con m ssion," anil the safer and ti n r average is nmun ed lobe 45,000. Cuba now imports about 20,011 per annum, on which is real zed a profit of $3G per head.

H \ZEL DELE For the Carolina (Spartan. " "A FRIEJIP TO MORALITT." ' .Mvssrs Editors : A writer over the a'gnatur I of "A Friend to Morality," in the Inst Expreti, ha taken occasion, untimely, I think, if not unneeessa rify, to animadvert with some severity upon the prac ! ties uinotig editors of publishing lottery solierwi and by his article, at tins particu'ur lime, seetns t j take aid-* with that pa|>or in the controversy be tween it and the Spartan on that suhjict. Now I do ii'tt propose to |ilay the partisan at all; for aside from your ability to maintain your owu ground : I have no desire to opjxisc the Express. But be i licving tb.it fair play is a jewel, and that tlie Ex ! press, too, is fully competent to sustain itself, I be| lease to say a few words in reply to this friend o j morality I do not deein it necessary, in this connection to assume, or insist upon, what is universally con 0' ded, namely, that the manner of conducting I public journal is the business of those who have i ' in charge, and arc alone responsible f r its improp er management. But I do insist, that, if a hoik and useful district papi-r, in its honest efforts t< sustain itself, should unintentionally publish any thing which might seem to some calculated to havi n pernicious influence upon the public, nnd moral ists di-ern it tlie r duty to remonstrate against it ! tln-y should not do it in sneli a way as to recom mend and extol one p iper, tliougb an excellent one to tbe manifest injury and prejudice of anotliei equally as worthy of public patronage. Such i course, it strikes me, is not in go-id keeping wit) ' the character ??f a pool and true moralist. 1 t.iW< i it that a true friend to morality is n friend to man | kind, a philanthropist, nnd a generous-hearted man I unwiihng to injure even on enemy. And, if sncl had liccn the character of this "Friend of Moruli i ty." instead of making this public onslaught opoi j tbe Spartan, (for it would be in vain for him t deny that bis article, at ibis particular time, is side thrust nt the Sjtartan,) he would liave gon I to the E iiiors of that paiier privately, and state his abjections to tbe publication of lottery schcmci which friendly admonition, if it had done no goo<j Mfould certainty have made no enemies. 1'mt, as i is, 1 very much (ear (bat Ms on re sotir.b'c a'.Sane with tnorahiy Mis rendered him obnoxious to th charge of partixmiship, and thus destroyed entirvl the effect of bis noble elfot ts in tier behalf. If. however, be should repttd ate this ronelusior as what logicians call " ifnoratio elemrh i," or irrelt vant, and deny that lie is a partisan, I w.mld m- i resiwetfuliy ask bun if be does not think bis ph I ppe agaaist tbe moral delinquency ol Edit >rs get erally should have i xtrndt-d a Utile further, nnd di ti -unccd tbe practice, equally ns common anion lliem. of a Ivertisiug no'ie<-s of aire uses, travell.n I theatres, dano.ug ivhoiil*, and lecture* of stroni utlniii'il women, ali.n abolM onints, n -t to mrttla ; iju.ii'k medicines, eliWh ufivr inducements t'i ut ! in*T.iliiy. liy pr.-m sing to render the natural effce and the diseases 'p'ittging front :t harmless Ml iimlv rurid I Or, <lir ? lie bvlicve all iltm 11?,rij I are liarut'<*?9, and nought but tin- publication of lu lerv tickets swells to tbe magnitude ?*f crime at bigb treason ?fj:niisit c**Ml nioialst U lie ao adr ( cati* <*f eircuw, and a'4 tlietr ribaldry and oliacet exhibition*.
