African Slave Trade lo lie Revived.
Tito world if full of bypociisies; but lite
greatest now vxtant upon the distinguished
arena of the wot Id, is the sensitiveness of
Knglaird attd Franco to llto coiilinuatico of
llto African Slavo Trade in Cuba and
Brazil. Inquiries and responses have just 1
boon gravely put fortli in llto British Parliament,
showing 1)10 philanthropic vigilance
of the British pooplo upon this subject. In
tho course of the debate, however, Mr. Labouchcro
stated "that, during tho last nine
years, 30,000 persons had emigrated to tho
tropical Colonics of Great Britain." Who
theso poisons are, and froiu whence they
came, Mr. Labouchero does not mention.
They consist of Coolies and negroes froiu
tho East Indies and Africa. Tho pour
Coolies hoar glowing pictures of the earthly
parad'so in tho West Indies, and aio tricked
into a slavery for life under an apprenticeship
of eighteen years. Without any such
visions to cheat their fancies, the Africans
taken 011 the high seas from tho Spanish
slavers are taken to Sierra Leone, and
from thence shipped to tho British West
Undies as emigrants. As they nro all slaves

ago designed for tlietn very uaturnlly. The
operation has been so successful that the
London Times cannot refrain recommending
it as a fair open operation. Discoursing
ou the debate in Parliament, it speaks
as follows:
"Talk to most people about bringing ne
groes from Africa to Jamaica or Trinidad,
under some system of apprenticeship 01
contract, and they will probably say that :t
is only a slave trade under another name,
and that the adoption of such a scheme
"would destroy all the influence we have acquired,
and-carry the world back to the
xvortt days of inhumanity and recklessness;
<bat oi>oe let the real slave trade have censed
forever, and net only the British colonies,
but ovcu those American Slates which have,
to their credit, abolished slavery altogether,
will find it to their advantage to bring over
Africans uudor some wise and humane system,
wnich will benefit ibe legions on both
sides of tho Atlantic."
Ilore we of tho Southern States are invited
to participate in this new African
Slavo Trade. Franco seems to be ?piite
ali?o to this new scheme of philanthropy;
and Spain, like ourselves, is invited to join
in carrying it iuto operation. The lialli
more Amoricau says:
i.\ir. i i: . i *
- *? u hiiuouuccu sumo iiiuu since unu
Messrs. Kogis, of Marseille*, Lad made a
contract for the transportation of twenty
thousand African apprentices to the French
colonies. VVc now learn from the Barcelo
na Fenix, that the first vessel for this trallie
has sailed from Marseilles, provided with
sea passports by both the French and English
Governments, for the coast of Africa.
She lakes out a largo cargo of trinkets of
small value, which are to be profitably in
vssted in contracting negroes for ten years'
service, and conveying tbem to Martinique
vuid Guadalupe. The Fenix adds that it is
supposed this experiment will he often re {
pealed, and finds in it a means of supplying |
Giiba and i'orlo liico with additional labor. '
In Connection with this subject, we notice ,
that the Ecuii Eupaual, (be supposed organ ,
of Marshal Narvaez, state* that the Government
has found the means of supplying
these islands with abundant labor, which
will soon bo put in operation, without in1'iinging
the slavo trade treaties with Eng
land. This now stylo will soon break Hp
the oh I fashioned slave trade."
Now we always did believe that die furor
of the 1 trilirth Government tor llio abo i
liliun of slavery, and llio suppression of the ;
African slave trade, was more political than
phi'anliiropical. The fanaticism of certain j
religionists was used, with not a littlo of I
their cant; but the British statesmen, in :
abolisl ing slavery in the West Indies, ex- I
peeled material benefits to result (rum it to !
(ho British people. Innocent of the nature
?>f the negro, they supposed that, being free,
he would work for himself far more than ,
lie had woiked for others, and hence, that
the tropical productions would be greatly
increased, ami llio British commerce would
get them at greatly reduced prices.
lu a very few years the negro disclosed
(lis true characteristics, and the egregious
folly of emancipation was exposed. British j
statesmen then turned to the Kasl Indies to .
rectify their blunder; but bore again they ,
vero cheeked by nature. After the most
cosily experiments, aided by tbo Lest planters
from our Cotton Slates, and all the rip
pliances of our agricultuie, the climate of
(lie Bust Indies proved uusuiled to tbo cotton
plant, at least so far uusuitod as to run
?ler competition with our Southern Stales
impossible. They now aro determined to I
go hack to the old locality, with the old instrumentality,
to the West Indies and tho
negro to raise the tropical productions. Tho !
emancipated negro will in.t work; but the
imported negro, a slave in hisown country,
ami ignorant of tho Knglish language, can
easily bo made a slave and do tho work of
a slave, whilst ho will have no claim for
that protection and care which is hi> compensation
in acknowledged slavery, lie
will bo mercilessly worked down, and then
be left t?> staive and die. I ho Loudon
rimes is right in tho imputation il supposes 1
might bo uiiulo against tho hypocrisy of 1
I'.ngland, when it says "tho adoption of such
t schemo would destroy all tho iufltidttCQ wo / "
tiavo acquired, and carry the world back to
llio worst days of inhumanity and rockloss- Jjj

We trust, at the approaching Congress, ^ ^

U. Stoclend, a sinewy, stout, active young a I

county, recently killed a largo panther, six di;

which are rolalcd as follows: 1'1
It scorns that at the further cud of a largo \vi
hold, about a quarter of a mile from the it
house, .Mr. Slocketid discovered quite a f?.<
inoveinciit and disturbance amongst a lot | an
of hogs ll at were kept in the field. He at hy
once proceeded hi tlio direction to asceitain of.
the cause, when, to his surprise, a short dis .
taiiCO Irorn the hogs, he discovered that a 1>|
favorite young dog win engaged in a con |
diet with a panther. Determined to save vo
the dog at all hazards, he resolved to inter- > as
pose in the fight, expecting to irighten luo
panther lip a tree lliat stood hard l>y, when |1;.
lie could return to the house for his rille,
and bring it down. Ho accordingly gave
the animal a substantial kick, when it cu is
cd its engagement with the dog, straightenod
itsell erect on its hind legs, and pitch- ji;i

The contest now seemed to be a desperate
and verv unequal one, but there was no
escape from it for our friend Htockend. Tho 0|.
panther made a furious dash at him, hut ,
retaining his full presence t>f mind, he met | or
it with a furious kick. Tho light now as- g()|
sumed the character of a "rough and turn ^
ble," and a volley of well directed kicks disablcd
tho animal somewhat, lie called his qu
dog back, and the faithful animal, as if WJ)
ashamed at having deserted his master in ,(1(
the hour of peril, and as if to mako amends q(J
for its ungrateful conduct, entered into tho
conllict with unequalled fierceness. Mr.
Stockend tin ally succeeded in getting one
fool tirmly planted upon the neck of his as- I" '
sailant. and keeping the other in rapid mo- ""
lion in the direction of the animal's head, !|:
soon brought the contest to a close, lie ar|
has no doubt but that the long, heavy boots '4

his life. M"

minutes, in tho courso of which .Mr. Slock ',a

As every body is on tho y?? viue in ro
rd to the comet, and as nil sorts of ideas \
i "around" in regard to it, wo give tho fol- a
, ing amusing sketch gleaned from an o
paper:
'In tho year 1712 Mr. Wbisdon, having a
culated tho return of a comet which was s
mako its appearance on Wednesday, the
Lh of October, at fivo minutes after livo c
tho morning, gave notice to the public y
lordiugly, with a terrifying addition that v
ota! dissolution of the world by tiro was
lake place on tho Friday following. Tho I
ulation Mr. Whistou bad long main- i
ned in Kngland, both as a divine and a
ilosophcr, left little or no doubt with tho
pulaco of the truth of his piodiction. 'I
"Several ludicrous events took place. A I
rnbor of pcrsous in and about London li
zed all the barges and boats they could
their hands on in the Thames, very v
ionally concluding that when the cotitla
ition took placo llicro would bo tho most s
oty on tho water. A gentleman who I
J neglected family prayor for better than n
u years informed his wife that it was his
ormiuation to rcsunio tho laudable prnc- [
o the samo evening; but bis wife, having v
gaged a ball at her house, porsuaded her ,
-band to put it oiV till she saw whether ?
j comet appeared or not. Tho South |
a stock immediately fell to 5 per cent. s
d the India to 11; and the captain of a ,
itch ship throw all his powdor into tho |
er that tho ship might not bo endan- ;
rod. (
"The next morning, however, tho comet t
pea red according to tho predictions, nnd f
foro noon the belief was universal that the (
ly ol Judgment was at hand. About this ,
le throe hundred and twenty-three clergy- ,
;n were ferried over to Lambeth, it was (
*1, to petition that a short prayer might bo ,
lined and ordered, there being nono in )
j Church service on thai occasion. Three ! |
lids of honor burnt their collection of j i
vols and plays, and sent to the book sel- j j

n to the bank was so prodigious that all |
nds wero employed from morning till
glit in discounting bills and banding out

hi 7,000 kept mistresses wero legally '
ulied in the faco of soveral congregations.

Matkimonv.?In tho selection of a hus1
hand, a young lady should look for truth, j
propriety, and dccorun:, lather than for
' I station, wealth, or troud looks. CourtshiD i
, 1 allows her all the opportunities necessary
i for this study of a man's character; so, how
;; ever delightful thai probationary period
; may ho to the imagination and the susceptibilities,
it is tilled with serious responsii
i bility. There is an interest attaching to it
that should impart t hough ifu In ess, beuigI
1 iiilv, and lefinemenl to the whole being of
r the man and woman. As the threshold of
a now life, it should bo guarded against ail
, sinister itilluences?all insidious tendencies,
' all weakness, and liability to fall into tomp.
tation. <\>urt->hip cannot be too pure, or
) its courses too strictly watched. It is tiie
1 sweet communion and interblending of two

unity mi this lite and the life beyond. Its
very trivialities ought to l>o fenced round
I with respect; and no indecorous jesting no

no want of faith should bo allowed to cast
t their grim shadows on its path. All should
, be hiight, hopeful, nnd puie as the flush on

received tho first kiss of kind and respectful
love. Marriage, too, should bo emblematic

of heart extending to heart; but the mental
j. adaptation, and a similarity of views, rela(

say, is small, hot that owing to the lateness of the
spring much land that would lime been plant-d in

which four parts of molasses are added, and ! rrr;
the whole ingredients stirrod until they are
thoroughly incorjioratcd together in ono
mass, which is then dried by a gentle beat ^.|ia
in a room, or by exposure to the sun, and is mc<i
