While auch things are permitted to take piace, it is aosurd to talk about the abo. litton of the slave trade. The means of prevention are ta fact eo utter'y wefllieot that they only seem to embolden those engaged ia vne traffic, Is is notorious toat to mixed British comaigaion which has been establisbet io Cuda as acheck upon the trade in that islana, is waoily jowerlees for the performance of its duties in this particn lar, and that it is treated with ridicule aud contempt by the Spanisa officials, wno always flad mesos to clude its Vigilance or to defeat its plang. Then again, despite of the naval force which is kept up by this couutry aud Gagiand for the suppreseioa of the rade, thousands of slaves are taken every year from ghe various slave depots along the coat, Anc how is it at home with ourselves? We uave isws which have been proved again and again to be al most wholly imoperative even in cases in whico no doub! could be entertained as to the guilt of the par ties accused of being participants im the illegal traffic. It 1 w fact, and it mas as well be stated in all its naxedness, that the Couris of «ae United States do not regard the trade as an illegal occupation, although it is deciared to be a piracy by law. This may startle those who imagiue that the jaw and the Courts should be in atric: sscordsace with each other, but it is @ fact which canaot be coatro verted. A brief eta‘emeat is necessary here to the proper underetandiug of the legal aspects of the subject, When the old thirteen coionies wer? stroggling for independence, the trafllc was regardod legal by all nations. Up tothe year 1808 it was uacon sistutional to prohibit the landing of slaves; Dut a law was pasted in 1794 forbidding Americans from engaging im it under a penaity of $2,000 aod the torfetture of the vessel. Another law was pasted in the year 1800, accordiog to the provisions of which a penalty of $1,000 was inflicted on any one who sbould be coovisted of having voluntarily eer ved on_board a» vessel engsged in the trade. A perueal of tie saws on the subject of the slave trade makes one fa:t clear, however, aod tbat is that on the coast of Africa American citizens are free to carry on the business of @ Simve factor wiiaout fear of moiestativn Tbe probibition of Coagress affects oniy those who are enguged upon glave ships, ead is virtually 20 probivition stall. By the law of i807, own-ra, masters or factore, found guilty of Aiting out any vessel within the jarisdic tion of the United States for tais tras, were eubject to increaged penalties. Ia 1818 the prohibition placed on all citizens with reference to this trade was traasferred to the vessel, and it was enacted that ao yessel should, un der pepaity of forfeitare of the vessel ana cargo, be det Out by sny person or pervous, for the purpose of conre: ing negroes or persons of color from one country to an- other to be sold ss slaves, Tos more fact of flitiog up a vessel for the purpose ts conclusive, aud the peuaity is incurred thereby, though the vessel should not have jeft the port. Avy one who fite out a vessel for the trans portation of negroes, be he owner, master or factor, saith the law, sua’! be‘liable to flae andimprisonment. Io 1842 vhe Asbburton treaty was agreed to between Eugiand ano the United States, hy which they bound themselves to keep » fleet of versels, carrying eighty gaos, on the Afr Can coust for the suppression of the slave trade. ais, however, bad not ihe desired result, owing either to the insignificant force employed in this auty or the expe. rience and superior knowledge of the soast which the tra ders poseeesed All that has been gained is the capture of a few siavers, which, however, has uot taterrupted the traffic, for slaves are shipped and exported ag numeroualy and vigorously #8 before. That New York, Boston, New Bedford, Briato!, Portland and other Eastern ports ure the chief places at which siavers are filted out is a fact too well known to admit of denial, and tuis may be traced to the ambiguity and defective character of the law, which, while branding the slave trave as piracy, leaves loopholes large enoagh for the greatest offeoder to pare through, apd ali but readers con Viotion Impossible.

The American ve trade, which ts almost coova with the discovery of the continent, has been gub J€&t to great vicissitudes, and has beea ried op by different nations with varying saccos: The Speniards and Portuguese were the first to ombark in ft, and for some time these nations enjoyed a cozpiete monopoly of this lucrative traffic. The Antiiles and the pewly settled districts of Brazil received tho first cargo of negro siaves landed in America But the cavaliers of Spain, who at this dime wero engaged in founding a colony in trouical America, were unable to cope the ogtiah in & profitable commercial epeculation, and the slave Wado therefore parsed into the banda of English tradere, and rapidly increaged in importance.

The immense protits cerived from this business have proved too siropg a temptation for many of our wealthy @ep, who bave accordingly © in it,deem:ng toe ruak amply compensated for by the coatiagect advantages. Whiie our weaitby men have embarked ia it with a hope of adding to their already large capital, others, anxious to become rich by a fortunate adventure or sudden coup, pave jo'ned 1p an epterorise which promised a rich revura for a emai outlay. Stimulated by the desire of sutdenly sequiripg Wealth, which is so characteristic of the present cB8y, Deby, a* we bave said, Dave entered into the busi- pets, and probably there never hag been a time since ita ‘rst commencement when the slave trade was prosecuted with so mach activity in our port as it is at present. TREATIES ENTERED INTO FOR ITS ABOLITION. Ta the beginpiog of the nineteenth century an agitation was commenced by the humanitarians, which had tae effect of introdusirg considerable changes in the maoner of carrying on the trade. The abolition of the slave trade by Engiand and the United States followed. This had the effect of throwing the traffic once again iato the hands of the Spaniards and Portugucee, for citizens of Eogland and the United “tates could not engage in it without subjecting theaisetves to the charge of piracy. The enactments ‘against the slave trade were made at an oppoitane mo- went for the Spanish ana Portuguese, who were at that lime extabiebipg sett/ements on toe African coast. France ap’ Eogiwnd subsequently combined their endeavors to abolieb, if possible. or at all events to circumscribe, the voene of tbe traffic; and by their incessant exertions «ud tee treaties conclutea between them and otver Powers they succeeded to @ great extent in carry- bg ont their object. Eventually Brazil, Portugal sod Spaio consented to its complete abolition and tifled ik by treaty, Spain, however, bas not fuliy car 'ed out ber compact, for whe sill conunues to import ni eroes from africa for ber West Insian possessions. Her wo islands of Cuba and Porto Rico are tue only places where toe Afrizan slave trade is st present carried ou, for the vigilance of the Eoglish cruisers and the exertions of Engtied diplomats have resulted ia a total ceesation of the trace between Brazil and Africa, In the yeer 1885, the Spunieh flag ceased to afford pro. fection to ere0cs evgaged in the slave trade, for in that year, by virtue of a treaty maje between Spaia and Eng- iaud, the former country declared the trafllc in negrovs piracy, ana prohibited ber subjects from eogaging in {t under the penalty attached to that crime. After the com pletion of (bis treaty slavers traversed the ocean under the protection of tne flags of Braz'l’and Portugal, but only for » short time, for treaties eniered into subsequently, between these couniries and England, broke up thia state of things acd have almoet excluded slavers from the pro ‘ection afforded by the Brazilian and Portuguese flags. She only flag now used by slavers in their homeward passage is inal of Portugal, and thie is in consequence of the treaty witd that country bot being 80 strict nor 80 deflaite as thoee concluded with other nations. However, though the Portoguere flog if someties ut for the purpose of ccreening and projecting siaye ers in their iliegal en. terprie, the plan usualy adopted by them isto venture o oyage without flag or papers of any kind. They set enil from the Afrisan coast unprotected by those na- tional guarantees accorded to sil engaged in legal com merce, troeting to chance for poeieye and tothe raii- bg qualities of their vessel for escape in cere of pursuit. They wre the Araba of the ocean, and they wander over /, owing allegiance to and clatming ction from none. Such being the condition of the traders, on their return voynge their only object is to secure the very of their vesee on the coast of Africa without Itability to capture before the slaves are put on board, The on which the people and govern- nited States have ever made Engianc’s © viseels dispiaying the stars and atripesas @ means of abolishing the lave trade has prevented cruisers of all tions from exsmining veese's carrying the American f, and in this way has facilitated the sivery of vessels designed for the slave trade on the const of Africa. The | iavioiadility of our flag thus established has given rise to « new system, which we now propose to describe. THE FITTING OUT OF A SLAVER, AND THE WAY THE VOYAGE 18 PERFORMED.

The goods purchazed in Eag- Jana for the porpoees of barter with the native African Iraders aro sent out to the white slave factors on the coast, ‘who procure a part of their supply of shackles and cotton goods from the British traders at Sierra Leone. Both these thinge—that is the purchase of the vessel in the Unit ed States, and of the goods in England—having been suc cestfully’ errenged, nothing further remaing to be dove but the preserving of cargo and ite safo dépar- ture from the coast. The following anecdote has been published before, but it will bear repetition, and we present it to our readers as s pretty fair illustration of the characters in this city who are indire engaged ia the traffic, and many of whom have made large fortunes through their connection with it. The congregation of one of our fashionable churches up town had reeolved on raising a subscription for the purchase of a gift to their minister, or to send him off to Europe for the broachiti*, we don’t kaow which— and it is of little or no consequence. They had, however, regoived on raising @ subscril for nis benefit, and, on the day appointed, Plate was hand around, the minister looking on with a perfect in- difference to ail earthly objects, and an utter abnega- ton of worldly things that wae deligntfu! to behold. In its rounds the plate was presented to two comfortable reverend looking Christian gentlemen who stood high among the congregation, by whom they were regarded as pillars of the church, and who were expected to be par- ticoler'y liberal on this occasion. ‘The first to whom tt Was presented deposited a fifty dollar ‘bill on the plate, and the second was about contributing his share whea he perceived that it was a hundred instead of a fifty dollar ote that be held in nis hand. He hesitated, and was in the act of returning it to bis pocket, when his friend, per- ceiving his hesitation, said, ‘‘Never mind, Tom, {t's only two blackbirds, and you'll soon make it’ up,” The two blackbirde, translated, signify two negroes, and the libe- ral spd pious member of the church was deeply interest- €0 in the slave traffic. The bill was deposited on the plate among & multitude of others, and at the end of the col- lection there was sufticient subscribed to cure the minis- ter’s bronchitis, or make him a handsome present, or to support & dozen starving families through a whole winter. PORTS AT WHICH SLAVES ARE FITTED OUT—THE WAY THE TRADERS AKE SWINDL&D. Tt is now @ well known fact that New England fur- nishes not only a large portion of the capital invested in the slave trade, but that the greater part of the fleet is fitted out in New England ports. The business is a pro filab!o one, and whatever may be the opinion of the peo- ple there regarding ite character, it has no effect in de- terring the capitalists of Boston, of Portland and of Bristol from embarking their capital in it, The fact that it pays is all that is necessary for them; for efter ail, the question of morality or principle never enters into the consideration of the matter. The whole slave fleet fitted out from these ports and the port of New York—which it is almost neediess to tell our readers is largely engsged in the traflic—numbers from. thirty to forty per year. New York and Boston are the favorite pop, from the simple fact that in bustie, the turmoil and whirl of trade, there is less risk Of detection, fhen, again, our people are not 80 inquieitive us those of smaller cities, and {t may be that our officials are not so energetic, but on this poiat wo doubt if the officiais of any one cily can claim pre- eminence over those of another for superior vigilauce or energy. It is urged thas there are very cogent and sub- staptial reasons for this, and these reagons sometimes take the form of serious accueations as to their want of fidelity in the performance of tnelr official duties. In fact, hot to be nice about the matter, or to put too flue a poiat, it is not only insinuated, but it has been flatly charged, tbat their silence 18 purchased and that they are cogni- zant of the operations of the siave dealers ia thia city, in Boston and at other places. In Baitimore some slavers sre fitted out, but New York and Boston are decidedly en- titled to the precedence for enterprise. As to those en- gaged in the preparing and {iting out of Ore we injght dism‘ss them in a brief but expressive way by seying that the least said abont such characters the better; but i will not do to dismiss them in such a ®ummary manner. To be, however, as bricf as possible on euch & dissgreeabio subject, we may remark that their social position is avout as low as can well be imagined, and that they are a reckless set of adventarers, uttorly devoid of principle and wholly indifferent to the good or bad opinion of the community. They are men who are wiling to make money without regard to tho means by ‘which it is to be obtained, and this ts 20 well known by the parties who employ them that they never fesl secure in their confidence. This, however, is not to be wonderet at when It is kuown that they not unfrequently appropriate the money that {e entrusted to their charge for the pur. chase of portions of the necessary outfit of the vessels, They know that their dishonesty in such cases cannot be punished, end their knowledge of this fac’ emboidens It sometimes happens that the Cuban slave trader finds, when too late, that the veerel for whose outfit he bes paid ate liberal cost fur above the value of the work done and of the articles proviaed, instead of being sect to tbat particular part of the African coast for which suo wae origi- nally destined, is despatched fo another point and there disposed of to other parties, the proceets being pocketed by the captain, who divides 1 with bis fellows in the trausaction. Aa we have intimated, it ia impogsibie to proceed against the parties in euch cuses, for the law does HOt eDtorce the execution of an illegal coutract, and an the contract 10 deliver the veusel for a elaver on the coast of A(rica fe nota legui one in thy eye of the law, there {s vo redrete for the aiave trader sgainat ihe dis. honesty of the person entrusted with the delivery of tne verscl. ‘The duplicity of agepta ir, however, not the only riek to whieb the slave wader is exposed, for it sometimes hap pens that tho captain, inetead of delivering the cargo of Airlcang in Cubs, toe place for which it was originally destined, proceeds to Porto Rico, or to some other market, where ho disposes of it to his own = advantege, Io this, as in the cae already referred tb, there 1a no redress. And yet, with all the opportunities that are afforded to rascality in this bu apenas by immunity from panishment, instances of the kind are lese frequent than in the ordinary basiness of es commerciai life. fe have spoken of New York end the Eastern porta as furnishing the lerger part of the slave fieet, for it is very seldom that vessels for the trade are ued ont in New Or- lesns or any of the Gulf porta. Loaved tho trade would dwindle down into almost intignificaut proportions, if it were bot for the greater energy and enterprise of our aliet when compared in tuis particuiar with thove of the south. Then in nddition to this it must be admitted ‘hat Southern ports do not ponsers tho same facilities for the carrying cut of the arrangements aay to secure ine euccerrful Coparture of the verge!.

But few of the tribes of negroes from which slaves are cbtained have ever been described, acd even in the works of the best geugraphera and travellers we would lock for them in yain. Pro. minent samorg the tribes, on accoant of its num ber, is the Mandingo. This tribe ts to be found inlana from Moprovia, on the western coatt of Africa, As slaves for general work they are considered supo- rior to the otber tribes. The beet agricuitural laborers sre (o be found smoog the Congoes, who come, or wo ehouid say wre, from cistricts eoutn of the Eqoutor, and about the mouin of the river Congo. There is a tribe ca'led the Carcbali, who appear to bave a bigher inteliec tual organization than either of these pamed, aud who are Bot eo quicecent in @ etate of elavery. They are anid to make capital peddiers end tracers, and for this resoa they are employed at auch occupations tn cities aui owns. They sary, ire themaelves from their maters aad curry on the business of peddling and trading on their own bi This tribe algo furnisoes a large majority of the water sellers of Havana and otber cities. Besices those tribes we have mectioned there are the Arara, |he Ganga apd othors, whose names bave not been recorded in any work treatisg of Africa, and all of wnom come from the weatern coast of that continent. The activi'y of the British cruisers bas driven the slavers to auotber part of the const, and large numbers of negroes have been imported from Mozamb:que, whore the trade bas of Inte been most actively carried on. This exgortatiun of slaves does vot in any way influence the domestio mar- kets, tor the numbers which annually leave the African coast sre comparatively insignificant.- Tho caravans which traverse the 4frican continent in every direction carry for the home market cargoes of slaves far exceeding in numbers those exported from the coast. The worst epecies of slavery to which an African can be doomed is that in which he is subject to one cf his own race, and a large majority of the native population—pzrhaps turee- fourths—are in that condition, Wars are carried on for the sole purpose of procuring slaves, for all prisocers taken in battle are beld as such, and one tribe makes inroads into an ‘ages the territory of another to supp!y the Gemana and furnish the siave trader with cargoes of live merchandise. When the market is overstocked aod the captor can find no sale for his prisoners, they are deliberately s.a . Io fact human navwre in Africa ap; to have sunk to the lowest aaptns of moral and physical degradation, and the history of that continent coes not tell us of a time when the negro race was ever inapy otber condition Ia order to obtain a supply of rum, powder or other articles of commerce, husbands have been known to sell their wives and chiidren; ia fact, the most revoit:ng and borrid crimes are commoa among them, and cavnivalism appears to be almost universal. We aro told that in Africa man is the standard of Pricee—a slave is a cote of hand that may be discounted O* pawned; he ig a bill of excbaoge that carries bimself to Bs his destination ead pays bis devt bodily—he is a tax that walks corpojeally into the chieftain's treasury.” After many inquiries among persons acqiainted with the slave trade we come io theconclurion that the jaterior Of Africa is not the terra sncognita it is universaily be- Neved to bo, and we think if the geographical and other learned societies would, previous to fitting out mizsion- aries and explorers, direct their inquiries among the slave traders of Portugal, Brezii apd Cuba, their knowl- edge of- that continent would be considerably in creased, Tbe information thus obtsiaed would be fuller and more correct than could be procured from any other source with regard to the physical character of the country, iis agricultural and mineral productions, its bea travel, ite binome life, and ener Aare yotereat- ing avd tmyortan’ additions to our eu; tal knogledge of ‘bis land of Ham. “ye See No strorger proof need be given than that afforded by ® work which was pnbiisbed a few years ago, aad which purported to give a true account of the life aud adventures of # notorious slave trader on the african coast. Although there is doubtlers a good desi of exag geration in eome of his stories and incidents, yet the book is particularily graphic, and, to @ considerable extent, truthful, in. the desoriptions it gives of African life in its diferent phases, the scenery, the commercial intercourse among the aatives, their wars, the systom of domestic slavery and other things. It certainly surpasses in its fulnees of detail, and we may say accuracy, the works of so-called travellers, who, having walked a few miles on the spore and cruised rome weeke off the coast, imegine they have thus obtained a knowledge of ail that is worth knowing, , the rea son of ali this ig very simple. The traders come in direct contact with the na‘ives, with the chiefs and captors, of whom they are onthe most friendly terms. They are always a8 ready to purchase as the others are to soll, al- though the articles of commerce are human beings, and of the same race ae ons of the parties to the bargain. The white tracer ig looked upon in the light of a friend, Decause bis custom is profitable to the black dealer, who is always ready to diepose of his countrymen by the dozen or bundred, asthe case may be, for arms, powder, tools, rum, trinkets and other things suited to the tastes or necessary to supply the demands of savage life. Now while ihe white trader is looked upon as a friend, the miseionary or the discoverer ia regarded with indifference if not absolute dishke; for they have nothing to give but a few moral troths, which, it must be confeerod, are at-@ terrible digcount among the savage natives of Africa. Aad then. as one of the truths waich the missionary preaches ia the immorality of the trafils which, it is said, three-fourths of the negro popuiation Africa’carry on in the interior of the continent (se speak now of the domestic slave trade of Africa), they are al- ways unwelcome viaiters. The African desires only cus- tomers to whom he can sell his property. LIST OF BSLAVERS CONDEMNED BY THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF NEW YORK.
