TUB SLATE TRADE. All
Tl>? British emancipation not, however human? V
intention and jiwt in principle, together with drui
inilnr French edict?, are the cause of tho present era I
tivity in tho slsv? trade. The largo and fruitful misi
epical possessions of those countries, under the su- by t
rrilltendence of that energetic industrial enterprise deoi
hich eminently marks the Anglo Sixcu race, tone
rgcly supplied the world with products which Kng
iuld he drawn in sufficient quantity from no other Chit
urccs. Freed from compulsory tabor, the eerie
race no longer oared l??r ought but subsistence,
id that was cu.'y of procurement by theft, in per
11 or by proxy. A rapid diminution of production T
ns the consequence. Plantations of fabulous for- on t
ily, from decreasing labor, rapidly deteriorated, tho
id their owners became bankrupt in fortune, and and
eir before teeming and fruitful fields were turned Will?
to wildernesses. The coffee, sugar, and (ruita of dug
e troi ies were so suddenly withdrawn from the thro
orld, when consumption w s steadily incrcn?ing, Atn<
ai those countries where slavery still existed be* retir
me doubly vnlliable. Spain, Brazil, and Amcri- ?''y
, Iriving the lands nd .ptc?i to such supplies, were ,nK
imulatcd by high prices to increase their growth. Fog
lie profitable nature of the employments and en- i" tl
rging cultivable area, enhanced the value of slave 2t'tli
jor, till the working force was for below the de- tack
and. The high rates at which slari s could he by n
1.1 caused capitalists to venture into the slave trade, ? ' '
spito the rigorous laws enacted against the traffic; quuid
thous 111 -1 ami tens of thousands of Afri- ,on'
ns were thus brought into the |>OKKeFs:ons of Spain on "
a! Brazil, nrd continue to bono brought opto this cord
y. It was in vain that the United States and T
ig'nud, whose b.ws declared the trade piracy, ^ I'
ickaded the bays and inlet? of the coast of Africa, m>' '

DirricuLTiKS Sbtti.kd?For a length of time,
our H iptist brethren, in Western Carolina, have
been making effort* to re unite the several Ilaptist
Associations in this end of the Stale?Missionary,
Free-Will, &e.. djc. According to our understanding,
all eante together some time ago, except the
Green River Association, and formed the Union
.intonation. Green River stood out, as we have
learned, because she thought the Union Association
unsound ill doctrine,and unapostolic in practice.
As it was desirable thai the two Association, 1
above named, should conic together, n.? it seemed i
that the members thereol could not amicably adjust
their difficulties, the inniurs in dispute were referred
to a committee, taken fiorn adjacent Associations,
clothed with plenary power* to settle the mat 1
ter. On Inst Thursday evening, a meeting of our
II iptist brethren commenced at this place, according
to previous arrangements, and continued up to
Sunday night following, a meeting for the final adjustment
of the matters alludtd to above. There
were a number ol visiting ministers and laymen in
attendance. Among the numhvr were Rev. Mr.
Fitrninn. of GieenvilV, S. C , Rev. Messrs lamdrum.
Scruggs and Hnrm-lt, ot Spartanburg, S. C ,
Rev. Mr. Hill, of Cleveland, N. (J., dwC.
1'renclling was kept up during the meeting, day
and night. As we do not wish to make any inv'dtous
distinction, w? will ju>l rny we heard sonic
tlirrc or four very gisxl sermons from the brethren,
and we hope good was done.
The committee, before alluded to, made its repot t
on Saturday night. From it we gut hired the following.
which we write from men my:
1. The Gicen River Association complained
against the Union Aaaooiniion, because the latter
had in it a pmt of the Ivy Association, embracing
some who repudiate the doctrine of election und
reprobation. On this point, the report of the committee
stated that, after a careful examination, there
was nothing f ?und in the Articles of Faith, as < in
brnred by the Union Association, contrary to mthodo*
doc'a ine; but thai tli- re whs, in tin* rules <>l order
or decorum, mi item which says, " We repudiate i
t'ie doetririv ot pnrtfeuiar tltftlon and reprobation,"
rt lin'li should be stricken out.
2. Tht (Irren lliver Associafion farther complain- I *
ed.tbut I lie I'nion Association bad taken iti eertnin 1 '
tninbcis, who came to its communion from olliei , .
churches, in a state of disorder. Tin* tbe emu |
mittee admitted to be true; but stated tliat it wan 1
now a matter of rturrt to many, il not all, of those ' '
iiumcdiab ly concerned. j '
3 It ?vaa aim matter o( complaint, on tbe part of , ,
; Green Ki?er Atmc'tnton, tluit in some instances (
| person* liiid been taken into fellowship tn tin Inn-ii 1
i Aineinlinlt who bad been bnpt>z<-d by I'islo II.ip
i t st*. The committee ndmitted lb t tins li.nl.been i {
done, and unqualifiedly cotideinnid tbe | rae' e. ; ,
but sta'rd that tin* it-alter should be let! w.tli indi
vidua! churches.
Tile report alluded to otber minor point*, was well '
written. Illid, we suppose, quite rat sf.ictoiy to tbe i
parties concerned. ,
We rejoice at every movement that i* calculated
to ntrcngtben Protestantism; beuee, we are glad
tliat our llapttst brethren nre making s trout; tluii
lortresses njpiinst infidel ty, Roman-sin, ?Sjc., by ?ucli I

We suppose1 lie report, to w liieb we have refer- j ^
red, will be | nblikbed. It so, and we find that our |
memory did not serve us corit-cdy, we will rladly j 1
jjivc any Otlu-r Version of tlic matter that the docu i I
n.ent may require; though, in tin- main, we f?t-l sat- |
islied that we teinember the matter* correctly.

ITpon every movement, contemplating tlio Intel- b
lectunl, wicial, aud moral advancement of a comma* w
nity, the pliilanthropiet and patriot love to dwell with I
intense interest. N?t only do communities, over I*
whom the influences ol education are to radiate t<
from the establishment of institutions of learning in 9
their midst, feel n profound concern (or their welfare, a
but large political divisions cannot remain indif- a
fereut to the success of efforts thus directed, c
The benefits of n liberal nnd thorough eduea- 'I
tion are too highly appreciated for men, Indi- ^
vidually or socially, to disencournge. by unwise coun- ; a
sels or the retention of pecuniary aids, the promo- n
tion of its spread, or the founding institutions of i "
learning. Kspccially Is it true in this age of pro- a
gr< ss and high mental culture, when houses spring 1 b
up, us if by some magic power, consecrated to ele
mentary and scientific instruction, under the nnspi- d
res of our diflcicnl denominations. A religious "
sect that now hesitates in tho cause of education, *
that dallies in pushing forward the great work of n
training menially the youth under its peculiar b
charge, must not only realise the bitter rewards
of a conscious remissness of duty in the present, but P
tho inglorious results of an unruhghtened laity in |>
the fulure. The tendencies of this age nre not only
educational, but point to sectarian efforts us the origin,
to sectarian influences and co operation as tho
means, of securing the mental and moral culture of
youth. In the routine of studies prescribed, there j ?
may not he found the suggestive words of the l"
Shorter nnd Jjirger Catechisms, the Wesleynn "
lyatetn of doctrines, or Anabaptist truth, in a series ''
of questions or answers, holding a prominent poei- nl
lion in th<" consecutive scries, still, the supervisory l'
nitboi ity is so sectarian, in all its cognate arrange 1 ' '
rm-nls and nppl nnce?, that tho results arc nliw?t '
as promotive of tho interests and cause of the a:
denomination, as if the course of collegiate in '
itructiou embraced in so many words surli kindnd

"A HRIENP TO MORALITY." '
Mrs*ns Editors : A writer over the signature
f "A Friend to Morality," in the last Krpreit, has
iken occasion, untimely, I think, if not unm-eessa!y.
to animadvert with some severity upon thepracoe
among editors of publishing lottery scheme*,
il l by Ins article, at tins particular time, seems to
ike hides with that pajier in the controversy beiecu
it and the Spartan on that subjici. Now,
do ii it proposa to piny tlic partisan at all; for, j
tide from your ability to maintain your owu ground, ;
have no desire to opj??so the Express. But beL'ving
that fair play is a jewel, and that the Kxrcss,
too, is fully competent to sustain itself, I beg 1
are to say a few word# in reply to this friend of
\orality
I do not deem it necessary, in this connection)
i assume, or insist upon, what is universally con*
did, namely, that the manner of conducting o
jbhc journal is the business of llnse who have i*
i charge, and are alone responsible f r its improp management
But I do insist, that, if a good
id useful district paper, in its honest efforts to
istnin itself, should unintentionally publish anyiing
which nngl.t set m to some calculated to Imvc
I
pernicious influence upon the public, and moralis
deem it their duty to remonstrate against it, |
n-y should not do it in such a way as to rrcomend
anJ extol one p iper, though an excellent one, ^
the manifest injury and prejudice of another (
piiilly as worthy of public patronage. Such u
mrse, it strikes me, is not in good keeping with I
ie ohnracter of a good and tru* inorahst. 1 take
tlmt n true friend to morality is a friend to mmud,
a philanthropist, sndn generous-hearted man,
nwiiling to injure evert un enemy. And, if such
i.l twen tlic character of this ' Friend of Moruli- |
instead of making this public onslaught upon
ip Spartan, (for it would bu in rain for him to
itiy Hint his article, nt this particular time, in i\
>lc thrust at the Spartan,) would Inee f>in?
> l!?e liliiorsof that pa)W primtoly, and stated
.a abjections to the publication of lottery scheme*;
Inch friendly admonition, if it had done n?? good,
ou'd certainly hurt' made no enemies. But, as it
, I very much fear that his onre so liable n'.Canoe
ilh morality has rendered him obt.<>x ous to the
I large of partisanship, and thus destroyed entirely
le effect of his llob'u effotts ill her behalf.
If. howcTer, ho should repud ate this conclusion,

of tin* statement by reference to the receipts and
account* they now I in Id.
I will also explain the mistako into wbioh tha
Charleston Commissioner has fallen by relying upon
the Legislative Synopsis, ns to Spartanburg's
paying 13 cent* per day |?cr scholar. At U?u
meeting of our Board the report was m-dc up,
* gned, and footed nn expenditure of $3,673 63.
After it w is thai closed, additions! ncoounta were
rendered from my Beats, A. Cannoo'a, and P. H.
Barry's, for $291.59. These were allowed and
paid, but left out of the report. The object in pur
ng off these claims w.-i? to close uj> each year's op*-,
ration*, and leave no outstanding debts Ttiat so
lew days devoted to tuition are mentioned is solely
the result of mistake on tlie part of the clerk making
the "Synopsis" far the Legislature. Instead
r?f foiling up the three total*, on the three separata
ihrth ol our report, lie took the first sheet,or page,
(making 2S,l~l) d >'?,) wlolo the whole number is
nearly 5#S,0t)0 days* tu'tion.
1 cheerfully submit tins statement to nach Commissioner,
for his aatisfitction, and it will at once be
seen that we liavo etcculed <>or trust in good faith.
