We publish, il another cotmnin,.so much of the presentment of the'G a'and Jury of' Williamsburg'Di-trictb as re lates to the remoVal, bY our Govern ment. of the present prohibition on the Africah Slave trade. The pre sentnt-nt is pointed. forcible and full ofsound truth and good policy. We regald-it-as a great and growing evil to the cause of the South and to, the institt'iobn of slavery tha~ t ls property is every day rising in value and in firef, has afready become so high as to induce those owniiing biut a few slaves, to part with tlient for the money of the large Capitalist of the country. For whenever this spt cies of property is entirely concentrated itn the hands of a few wealthy planters, the strongest of all inducements to protect and de feid this inlstitution is lost to the majority and poorer portions of our people, who will ther ee in the slaves ofthe rie' only so many rivals in all the dep art,ments of labor mid industry. But open again tile slave trade. Let this species of property become coin. mnon and every white.ni a slave owner and you at once erect ac efet ual and insurmountable barrier to every thing like abolition and fanati cal sentiment in regard to this subject.

The Carolina Times of the 15th inst., says: " We have been iniformed thaut in Snmter, too, money was put upon deposit, if not, actually used for the purchiase of votes, during the election ini that District."
