The Spee, then, on the solitary example of Brezil, and it involves the snpposition that, but for our equagrons. and the act of Parliament which seta thoee equadrons in motion, every port of Brazil would become a mart of the slave trade, The bare statement of jects, then, is far from encouraging. One State nione has been converted by Lord Palmerston’s oaly sopra aad that ope conversion is hollow, unwilling. oniy wait- ing for the withdrawal of the sharp eye and cutting lash. Meanwhile, there are rations to whom the argumoct of force is ipapplicable, and Lord Palmerston has no mode of appealpg tothem. On his own showing, therefore, this one argument is backrupt. As Grazi!, thon, is but an inadequate basis to support the theery of conversion by force, Lord Palmerston ‘bripgs ip Africa berself. Hisargument bere stands thus: —The african chicia must baye money and Euro; commodities. If we let them a one, they will get by cverz now and then surrounding & vilinge, march- ing the inbabitants several hundred miles to the nearest slave port. If we stop this traflic they will take to other meers Of raising a revenue, aud bring cotton, palm anc ivory to the coast instead of men, women and chil- dren, Now. this isa very old question; it is one which presents iteeif in many forms; bu; experience bas always arewered ii far otherwise than Lord Palmerston does in this instance. We don’t make good men by panieh- tpg bad men. We dent croave trades by stepping bad ones. Gallows, , huiks, and public works may be necessary, but cther iostitutions, orber persuasives, aré neceseary for social improvement of & positive character. If we want to civilize Africa we must begin at the right end, by taking all ine steps in the power of goverpment and compatible with sound principles to develope a peaceful trade with the interior of Africa. No doubt that will tend to supersede the traf- fic in slaves, and do so very quickly ; whereas, the most vigilant walcbiog by British cruisers on the coast can Cbly Dave @ negative influence. It can only doa re- mote good to strvggle with an immediate wrong. All this time, if we really wish to stop the slave tre¢e, and are ready to sacrifice our national jealousies to that object, we bave slready hinted at & most effectusl course. The United States are, unfertunately, not above allowing the irreguiar use of speedy decsy and death. Even now that veoerable, au- gust end pure tribunal, the balance whee! of the mighty wechbinery of cur goverument—the Supreme Court of the United Statee—was asaaiied with force and venom nearly upparalied.
