Many of the tribes are in the most bestial state: nihen captuireOi by our cruisers. they are found to behave like mere brutes. For them. even the slave-lahor of civilized countries is an elevation. In-the Brnzils, the slave associaies with his master's ram ily. end is at least as well of and as well conducted as an Aral horse. We judge ofslavery in the United States by our standards of right and sentiment ; but turn one of ihese-brutes.into a Virainian Negro. and he would rise many degrees in the setle of humanity. In the English West ledies, the Nero attains to the same com iforts immuniiies, and dignity, as any Brit tNh subhject.. Is it not clear that the mere fact of removal frni:Africa to the British Wesindies must he for the Negro tribes the bestapossible :change ?

Even the human-brutes. that-we have seen describedi arteir tranefer fron the slave ships.- in ternhs which, though of ta-uim peacliable truth;rmay not appear in our pages. become pssing -good citizens. Ttev are highliitnisative, wih a strong social, turn.; Tteir mere r.tmoval from iative oppression, and from dehasing ex ample. acts like: regeneration. All this civilizing -influence-is obstructen by vhat ever impedes-and hitherto every act of the government, from its head in- Down ing street to its tail. in Sierra Leoie, has impeded-the free passage of blacks from Africa to the British West Indies. The Anti-Slavery -party in this country is not in a more; favorable position than those already paseed -under review. A part from- theoiginators of the movement -the Clarksous' and Wilberforces who stand distinjuiuiied fron the mere herd as much as the great men who have founded philosophical: or religious sects do from mere'sectarians-i his party may be held in consist nf-the excitable masses who follow the bell wethers of the flock, of the busy managers ic Fxeter Hall, and or those whose professional interest in the blockade of the African coast vilgarizes but at the -same time keeps alive their hostility to slavery and slavers. With the exception of the last mnterionedl not very numerous section, the anti slavery hody have been brought to a dead lock. They have abol ished personal slavery within the British dominions ; they have pitt an end to the avowed participation of British subjecte in the slave-trade.: they have -involved the country in treaties for the suppression of t hat traflic, which keeps it c:mninually hov ering on the verge (of war: but they have neither diminisihed. the athont of shivery in the world nor materially crippled the African slave trade. They stand. there at their wits end, unable to devise any means of advancing their object, and. in igno rance or out of spleen, obstructing all means proposed by-other persons. Last comes our government ; in a plight quite as unsatisfactory as that tof any of the others, and on the whole more sh~amne ful. In every stage, the part which the British goverinent has takon ini the con troversies relatinig to slavery andi the trop ical culonics has beetn undignified at the best. Government has heen simply pas sive: it has neither originated antythitig nor engrafied the suggestions it received from without upon a statesmanlike system of its own. Whigs and tories, whben in of flee, have on these qucstiotus justified the unintentionial sarcasm of Mr. Zachary Ma cauley, when, writing to a noble friend a bout Sierra Leone, he affirmed that the people in the Colonial Office wouald ido a nything for anybody who saved them the trouble of thinking. Government has nev er taken ntuo step with regardl to the sugar colonies unless from the huelief that the pressure brought to bear upon it was irre sistibale, and then itn blind obediencee to the impulse. Its first phasis was that of y ielding ; ati conseqttently, its second w as that of blundering. Instead of aaking .a comiprehiensive view of the wants and wishes of the general public. the planters, the negroes. and the anti-slavers, anti o riginating measures which might as far as possible harmonize them, it lies merely given way tn the urgency of the most ac: tive. and hase acted upon their narrow views wvithoat havink the excuse that, it believed in them. And now that necessi ty is mnakinag other parties clamorous, it passes from blundering to shitifiing. It professes to dn something for all parties, end doesinthinig satisfactory tor any.- I: cajoles the sugar consumer, by promtising to admit larger suppries of suga; it has tens to soothe the apprehensions ofthe an ti slavei-, by protesting that not an -ounce of slaye grown sugar shall be allowed to enter; and ii'keeps neither promise, for the addiiional supiply and the exclusion of slave growtt sugar will'to all appearance prove equallyj.illusory.'

I sincerely rejoice to see that the noble and patriotic people of yourStatearelike ly to be one in opinion nod atction, as they are one in interest, in the present moinen ous crisis. We are upon.he eve:f oigh, ty events.

I-do-notin the least, doubt their motives. The noble letter of Mr. Colcock, in the Mercury. tells of what kind of men they are composed. Howev er-erroneous may be the course they 'd. vise, their motives, iheir -patriotistm, stand nut high above doubt. I-diler with thema, but love and respect them still. Stuch I know to be the feeltngs of him whom, it is supposed by some,'they desire to wound. I read to him a portion or the proceedings, as well as the letter of Mr. Colcock. and passages from various papers in difrerent parts of the State to-night. I never saw him more deeply affected. The very idea or betraying the confidence or snch a peo ple was more terrible than death itself. .1 twould infiniely rather cut my throat." wits his stern and deep reply, ivhik his eye flashed, and every reature of his pale face seemed fixed as iron. - I told him if the people or his State knew the days and nights of labor and anxiety which he *as now devoting to seenre their dearest rights and privilegzes, it would ft him still deep er in their affections. lie replied " Yes but that they rannot know.- I am not at liberty to speak. Time alone can sheow." The piroceedings at Charlesion-the high toned letter of that glorious -man, Hamilton, have eiven the highest gratifi cation to all who have read them ; und yon may rest assured that if we keep uni ted, we shall certaiuly overthrow the com hined p-wers of Whiggery and Abolition ioi in nearly every state in the Union. The name of Whig in the Southern States is destined to brand at indelible stigma on its possessor. They are the men who are stabbingthe South to the very heart, and t'ie day of their judgment will spee4ily come. They have betrayed ts-surren dered our rights. sacrifired our labor, bar tered away our honor, and -iffered up all that we hold dear a4 a people, to the am bition of ir., Clay. and the promise of his favor. They rejected the Treaty of Au nexation, and have thereby exposed our Southern frontier to the insiduous machin ations of our deadliest enemies. 'They have proclaimed to the world and register ed the edict or tih Aholiiouists, that we shall have no more territory in the South while we own slaves ! Their denuncia tions are daggers indeed. They have re jected the Treaty with the German Pow ers, by which all the products of Southern labor would have been so greatly enhan ced itt value. . They itnve suppr'essed all the Documnents accompanying that Treaty -bid theta from the people, until after the election, and published in thei- stead the miserable glosses and falsifications of a mautacturer, named Choate. They htave refosed to publish for the tnformatio'n ofte people the becret Circular of the British Government in regard to our Slaves These are the sacrifices they have made to their WVhig and Abolition allies of the North. The People will yet find them outt and scorn and exeeration will follow them to their grasves. They have' not received their reward ; and if thme People be true to themselves, they wvill nteet with a very different one than that contracted far.

F. W. Pickens of.Sotth Carolina. a gen-le mi favorably known to the w hole country as a distinguished membro of Gonttress from his native State, "nil itt the latter part of his parliaientary career as the a ble chairman of the Cummit tee of Foreign Relatinos. Mr. Pickens commeneed by giving a history of the two great political parties, fron their origin to the present time, insis ing that while the federal party had always advocated a strongr and central government the Democratic or Republican party had stood tip maufully for the righits of the States, attd of the people. respectively. He said (ia' in a repuldie. all permanent parties divided uprmn the fiscal action -of the goveriment, because it involved the taxing power, and v.ih all who spoke the English laguage. the power to tax, anti tlte objects of taxation, formed the touch stone of liberty,; that the constitution gave the power to Congress to lay and collect taxes, to pay the debts and provide for the common defence, &c.; that a party had grown up under constructive power. who claimed that Coagress could lay taxes o ver and above paying the debts and pro viding for the defence of the country, for purpose of protecting one man's capital and lalior, at the expense of the capital and labor of others; that this was tihe great and important issue between the parties. He (Mr. P.) was for paying taxe, for the support of a jmtst government, in peace or itt war-was opposed to a resort to direct taxation, or a chatige ft lie impost syttem, but vas for no tnore taxoson imposts than was nelcessarV for a-, economical admin istration of the government He illusira ted the unjust and ewlious operation of the protective policy by argument-. adapted to ihe capacities of every hearer, and con nected it with the disbrsemenasoftbe gov. ernment, by which the saime protected in terests received ntore than they paiti, and then the -protection afierded to capital and labor in domestic manufactures, by the imposts leviedtn articles that cane into competition with their productions, gave thetm the benefit of the whole fibcal action oif the governetnt, whilst with us wve felt no. returning compenlsationt for our taxa tiont; that tuxation to them was in fact a bhessing, anid to us destrutiomn. He conanected the tariff with the curren. ev.:ttd shoned that a hight tariff first cut oiffimportations and feorced tis to impoeri wvhat wats dutty free, viz m specte, and then stocks. He-said that twenty mttlio'ns ofI specie had thus bteen brotught in this sear, besides a large amoittt of Aenericatn stocks bought in foreignt markets, anid paid for by domestic exports.-the conseguncee was. that it had been concentrated in the pto tected regions, antd had proved the basixr new credits and paper expansion, prodti cinig a correspondinig expansion tn loical prices, which had enabled the imtporter to bring ini foreigtn goods and pay the dtutiest, high as they were, and enable htm to soll in the lncal mtutrket.
