Revival of the African Slav© Trade—
No. 2.
Decrease in Price, not Depreciation of Value. ;
The strongest position taken hy those!
who object to Revival is this : that the!
effect of decrease in the price of ne- j
grocs, would he a depreciation in the!
value of those now in the country. It;
is said, that the slaves which we now!
have, would become less valuable toj
their owners. The position is a false j
one, and it is false because it is not j
true that price and value are the same ■
thing.
It is not unnatural that the objection |
should have weight on the minds of
those who have not investigated the
subject in all its hearings. Men are
timid upon all points connected with pro
perty. They dread change in the con
dition of property lest they may lose.
It is the first duty of the friends of
this cause, to elucidate to.tlie public
mind the reasons why the change,
which the renewal of slave importation
would produce in the price of negroes,
would involve no reduction in their real
value to the present owners, or to the
people of the South at large.
Those who have a property interest
in the price and value of negroes, may
be divided into three classes : Ist, buy
ers. 2d, owners,or such as wish to hold.
3d, sellers,
Ist. Os the first, it is fair to suppose
that they are free from debt; cheapness
is not with them an objection. They
seek only profit upon their capital. It
can make no difference to them whether
. they buy two men at SSOO apiece,
and sell their labor one-half cheaper,
or whether they buy only one man for
SI,OOO and sell the result of his labor
at full price. The per centum of profit
will be the same either way. Hence,
to the buyer of negroes, the value is no
less when he buys negroes cheaply
than when he pays a high price. De
crease in price can work no harm to him
in any event. It will be our business
hereafter to show that it might benefit
him.
2d. Os the second class, owners, or
those who wish to hold the negroes '
which they already have, we remark,
that if they can accomplish the same
purposes, after the Trade is revived,
which they will be able to effect, if it
is not revived, they have no cause for
anxiety, and will have none for com
plaint.
Now, it is not the number of dollars,
taken to be the measure of a man’s pro
perty, but what he can effect with his
property, that constitutes its true value.
Admitting then that the nominal price s
of the products of slave labor would be '
reduced by importation of more negroes. ’
it does not follow that the value of the
labor of the slaves, now ia the coun- 1
try. would be lessened.
For instance, does the owner of
slaves propose to invest the proceeds
of their labor in other slaves? If the
renewal of importation would force him
to sell the product of his present slaves,
at a reduced price, it would also give
him an opportunity to purchase other
negroes at a price reduced in precisely
the same latio. If Revival would com
pel the planter to sell his crop at half
price, the same cause would also enable
him to buy an additional stock of ne
groes at half price. Or, does he wish
to invest in the products of human la
Jjor? If Revival would oblige him to
sell his crop at half price, it would also
oblige others to sell their wares to him
at half price. The same cause which,
by doubling the amount 6f cotton
raised, would compel its sale at half
price, would also double the amount
of sugar raised, and,therefore, a bale i f
cotton would buy as many pounds of
sugar after Revival as before. An own
er could sustain no loss in the value of
his slaves, since he could purchase just
as much of any article after Revival as
before. Therefore, our measure can
work no harm to the second class own
ers. Our purpose is to show, in the
end, that they will be benefitted.
It will not do for the objectors to say
here, that owners might wish to sell
their negroes, because, in that case,
they come within the class of sellers,
whom we notice next.
3d. As it is in the mattter of selling
negroes, that men must naturally dread
a reduction in price, we have reserved
to this point a notice of some of pecu
liarities of that decrease in price, which
would result from importation.
At present, distress and embarrass
ment in the channels of business, are
the cause, not a result, of a fall in the
price of negroes. Men confound the
cause with the effect, and hence conclude
that loss is necessarily attendant upon
reduction in the price of negroes. Now
unless one be much in debt he need not
sell his negroes, but may remain in the
class of owners.
Moneteary difficulties, consequent up
on ill-advised speculations, or the stag
nations of trade caused by any and all
circumstances, render necessary the
sudden and forced collection of private
debts. Now the debtors of the country 1
are the only ones who are to be placed
in the third class, because he who is not
in debt need nqt sell unless he could do
itiu away favorable to his own interest.
Debtors may have to sell their negroes,
and they are most likely to be compel!
ed to sell at the very time, when of all
others, capital retires from the market
and shuns investment. Thus, the price
of the negro goes down and the amount
j of loss will be exactly proportioned to
j the amount of debt. At present, then,
j it is debt which crowds negroes to mar
-1 ket in such quantities as to produce loss.
Now, between the decrease with
; which our people are familiar, as being
attended by loss, and that decrease
j which would result from importation,
' there is precisely this difference, that,
! in the case of the first, negroes are put
into the market under the pressure of
debt, and when money is scarce; where
as, in the case of the secoud, tire im
portation would not force sale at loss,
and negroes would come to market by
importation only when an abundance
of surplus capital should be calling for
them as an investment.
Cut another noticeable difference in
the two kinds of decrease exists.
Those reductions which we now see
taking place every few years, are sud- .
den. A few months often suffice to
change the entire face of business.—
The panic comes; it is quick ; money
must be raised at the very time when it
is most difficult to be raised. The debt- .
or (seller) has no time to lay about for a
remedy. He is compelled to sell under ,
the most favorable circumstances; so ,
that the price of an able negro may !
fall, in the space of a few months, sev
eral hundred dollars.
On the other hand, that reduction re- 1
suiting from importation, would be
gradual—so gradual as to be almost im- ’
perceptible, except a long period of 1
time be taken at a glance. Various
causes would tend to this end. Only a '
limited number of nogroes could be ob '
tained in Africa, as will be shown here
after. The means of transportation '
and tliecapital embarked therein, would 1
both be limited. It is safe to say that
the number of slaves could not be dou- j
bled in less than fifteen to twenty years.
Hence, the seller could, in no event, ex
perience ruinous loss.
But the seller would, in reality, expe- £
rienceno loss at all. Let us consider c
his case. He need not be a seller unless o
a debtor. If his own want of prudence
has led him to contract debts, and if he
has been so little sagacious as not to a
sell his negro at a time when he could v
get a good price, he must lose. This
will be true if the Trade never be re- t
opened. There will always oe impru- E
dent men, who will contract debts by
buying property at a high price and be
forced to sell at a low price. (
But, under the present state, when
the Trade is not as yet revived, every
seller, though he sell at a loss, is still
left with a capacity, greater or less, to
get another negro. Will the lessened
price of negroes lessen this capacity ?
Os course not, everyone sees that he is
none the less aide to acquire another ]
negro, because negroes are cheap. If
the price at w hich lib negro was sold
was reduced by importation, would he
not have a less price to pay for another ?
What he loses at sale is exactly core pen
sated by what tie gains at purchase.—
This applies as well to debts contracted
before Revival as after. Thus, it ap
pears, that our policy could not in
jure the seller. We shall have no diffi
culty hereafter in showing that the im
portation of slaves would prove a bene
fit to him who should contract debts be
fore Revival takes place as much us any
other class.
We see then that no class of the com
munity have anything to fear from a
reduction in price, because our argu
ment is general in its terms. Against
the objection which wc have sought to
combat, we have made an argument
which will, we think, be sufficient to the
minds of all, save to those who con
found cause with effect, price with
value, dollars with property. ®.
steamboat Accident*
Tile James Adger, one of the steamers
running between Charleston and New
York, burst one of her steam pipes, last
Friday evening, by which three men
were scalled so bad, that they all died
within forty hours after the accident.—
Several others were severely burned,
but it is hoped not fatally.
The deceased were all from New
I York, and acting as firemen. Their
names were— Lawrence Wallace, Jer
emiah Bridgewood, and Peter Reilly.
The steamer made a narrow escape from
fire, and was delayed in her passage one
day. The Chief Engineer, Josefh Pol
lock was dreadfully scalded, but it is
thought he will recover.
The bursting of the steam pipe, was
in such a manner that the waste steam
was turned into the furnace, when the
hot steam and fire rushed with great
force into the firemen's room, in whicli
were the men who were injured.
The Coroner’s Jury, after an exami
nation of the boiler, gave it as their
; opinion that it was hot in as good con
dition as it ought to be.

Wistar’s lialsam of
Wild Cherry, the great remedy for Consumption
aud all other diseases of the Pulmonary Organs.
The greater tho value of any discovery the high
er it is held in the esteem of the public, and so
much iu proportion is that public liable to be
imposed upon by the spurious imitations of ig
norant, designing and dishonest men.
Now that this preparation is well known to be
a more certain cure for the incipient CONSUMP
TION, ASTHMA, LIVER COMPLAINT, COUGHS,
BRONCHITIS, and all similar affections, than any
other remedy known, there are found these vil
lainously wicked as to concoct a spurious, and
pernai s a poisonous mixture, and try to palm it
off as the Genuine Balsam.
Ibis is to caution dealers and the public gen
erally, against purchasing any other than that
having the written signature or I. BUTTS on the
wrapper.

GROVER & BAKER’S
SEWING MACHINES,
K EASONS why the Grover & Baker
Machine is universally preferred for family
| sewing:
1. It is more simple and easier kept in order
j than any other Machine.
2d. It makes a seam which will not rip or
ravel, though every third stitch is cut.
3d. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus
all trouble of winding thread is avoided, while
the same machine can be adapted at pleasure,
by a mere change of spool , to all varieties of work.
4tii. The same machine runs silk, linen thread,
and common spool cotton with equal facility.
sth. The scain is as elastic as the most elastic
fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break
in washing, ironing, or otherwise.
6th. The stitch made by this machine is more
beautiful than any other made, either by hand
or machine ' l
Merchants ran sccnro the 0 f these Ma- f
chinos in their different localities, with profit to
themselves and their customers, bv applying to I
