every case where this so called .slavery ques- !

to tfc-* " slave trade" is merely an item !
i/j tlicir general |???li?y of breaking down the
natural distinction of races and equalizing ;
whites and negroes, yet American statesman j
have joined in with this policy and helped
on this nlij<-i t, not only in taxing the people j
several million* to keep np a j >int. naval
force on tin: coa-t of .\lrica, but by declar- '
ingthis "ti lde." to l>.; piracy and punishable '
wi;li deai.li, though llieir own fathers or .
grandfathers carried it on as a moral and
Ohristain nnderi d.itig. T!ui?, too, while ;
llffeCtillL' to be leiulr. at sfiiu.? Imh.i
time, to b?MZc Cnlia, British statesman have ]
attracted tlio American aiuiuii.it to that
specific ol-jccl, when, in truth, they never j
designed anv sn.-h thing at s.ll, and only
intended thu- t<? distract Ann rican attention
from their real purpose, which was to wink at
tihe rtlavu trade in that particular, in order
lo fill thu Island with negroes, and s>ome future
day, as in Ism Domingo, got up a lie- i
gro insurrection and '.urn the Island over

lirilish statesman whatever they tuny pretend j
to in the way of philanthropy atul "universal
humanity," arc vastly better prepared to i
deal with tho greatsubject of races than are j
the American*, for that wiilo spread empire
itcUiWlly includes within it all the races that
compose the hitman creation. Then, again,
diplomacy is with them a science, learned
l?y years of application and study, just any
other branch or dcparlmeutof human knowledge
; and finally, they have no political
?noral"rty or integrity whatever, and from the
Norman coinpicst to the Dallas treaty, the
priucipht, that tho end justifies the meaus,
has been tlic universal rule oi that, and indeed
of all other European monarchies.?
American statesmen and diplomatists, howifc
evor, by the inherent force of truth and
sound political morality, have been able to
?n*taii> themselves and sometime* even to
defeat the well trained and elaborately educated
diplomacy of Europe, but we repeat,
in every instance where " slavery" has been
involved, except in the case of Mr. Calhoun,

many dillicullies wliieh stand oppo.ii.il to the ae- j
eoiuplisliiin-nt of anything l>y a convention : In ,
some Willi lied a paper can be printed cheaper
than in others; t>onic communities are able and ,
willing to pay higher ralea for advertising than
others ; mid what would bo a reasonable charge '
for advertising in a city paper, would be iiiisitil
to the country press. Uesidcs, it would be out
of the ipie>tiou to (;et every proprietor to go into
convention and agree to ho bnnud by the rates
wliieh might be established. .So where ihuie are '
Hi-vcl'al papers in llic mine District, one proprii-tor
might bind himself to the rules of th<> eon- i
