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. •*«*. £*7" One hundred delegates have been appointed to represent Savannah in the Southern Commercial Convention, to be held in Montgomery next week.
