In 177. hesavs, when the agitation was b.gun. 45.t"JO Africans were transported annually to A mencaand the West lud;pr;and tiio mortality of the nuddl passage' is acknowledged not to have exceeded nine percent. Notwithstanding all the strps that have been taken to snjpre.s i', by armed force and otherwise, it was c'-nccdml by Mr. Dtixton in 1310 that the number of Africans annually transported beyond the ea, amounts to 100,000, and that, in consequence of thw trroater severity made necessary by these law, ihe mor tatity of the middle passage his inon.isi d to 25 or 30 per cent. And of the 150 000 slaves who have been captured by Bntn-h cniieerf, it is stated by Jude Jiy that 100.000 luve perish ed bf l w een their capture and ihir liberation. Thus is it shown, urges the Governor, thit all the hvUh expenditure of labor and iuo:iy to which the several nations of the world have re. sorted to suppress this trade, have only increased the traffic threru'J, and causrd mre lhati a threefold increase of is horrors.

We learn by a letter from Greenville, C. II, Ihat on Tuesday Ut a most brutal murder was committed in open iay, in the midst of the village, by Dexter WeLls on a young man named koB bxbt IUade. 'toe re was an old difilrence be tween then and ihey had not spoken to each o. Uiar for two yrs. Headen passed by the prin. tlnj pScrhere Wells employed, daily, to and from hts bo.in.se. Wells came out unnoti. eda h paiwd on Tuesday. deliberately not him twice wiJ, a double barrel gQn load-d bullet, no less thareighteen of which were fcxbxI io his body. Headen survived about Uer. in great agwy. Well. w.. immediately pprtbend.d .od lodged in jail. The greatest jeueaeot prevailed in Green vdle inrJL. o uui, me lowest classes ueing slaves. Hi" gov, ernrntMit rests in the hands of the educated and enlightened. This fart leads him to coincide in Mr. McDuflk-'s opinion that "slavery is" the cor iic-r stone of ur republican edifice.'' Order, he insists, is much mere easily preserved among slaves I han among ihe nominally free Ui.ercrs ol other countries, and he refers in proof to ihe fan that at the South no standing arntics are abroad, and no tatrols as at the North, have been fownd necessary to preserve the peace- In case of war he denies that slavery would he a source of weak ness ; the slaves, so far froio'seizing upon the oc casion to revolt, . would g'adly seize, npon any hldt k scld cr who should coirjij among them, strip him of his regimentals, and put bun in the cotton lii-ld. A very small portion of the Southern peo ph. he thinks, w-ould be sulHcieitt to oversee the slaves during war, and thus more force eould be sent ti;ft ih fioi.l. 3- Every affray, duel and murder which occurs at the South is attr.bu'ed by aboUionisfs to sla very. Though he d.c8 not enter upon any de. fence of duelling. Gov. N.ontnorid thinks it w ould be easy to show ihat it dies not "furnish the character of a people to acknowledge a standard of honor," aud that, at all even's, rt is not to be a'tnbutcd to el aery, inasmuch as the snne no. tion and custom prevail in France and England.

Slayery has ntrthing to do with them, and would, in fact, be endangered by them. With regard to ihe assertions that the people of the South are neither so well educated ncrr so. religious as those of ihe North, Gov. Ham mond says that it must be conceded that they have mo-e leisure for cultivation, and cites the fact that in the rivalry for the powers and honors of this country, the South has been most often success ful. The piety of the South, he says, ia unob trusive, and though fewer controversial pamph lets and excommunicating thunders are issued a mong them than some other ptrtsof the country, the number of clergymen is as great as eUew her, and professors of religion are contest to do good i vtT tu v i-u.i t if c or .:s iit'iiUjOnr ti s ue . uilvtV'; of h.H famishing hllle ones.

Templeton. ; There is one instance recorded by tho pen of the historian to which I will refer yon for a mo ment. Oti the morning of our national birlh djy, 'he 4th of Juiy 1776, when the declaration of in dependence was made, w hen the committee, pre viously appointed to draft that instrument, made their report through their chairman, 1 born as Jef ferson, and when it was read, the house paused hesitated. That instrument.they saw cut them fTeven from the mercy of Great Britain. They aw w irh proi.hetic vision all the horrors of san guinary war; carnage and desolation passed in swift review before them. They saw the pros. oect of having riveted si LIT more closely upon heir already dialed and bleeding limbs the chains of slavery. The house seemed to wave silence leep and solemn, silence reigned throughout the trill of the spa ions capitol. Every countenance indicated that deep meditation w as at work ; and the solemn resolutions. were calling lor double. er.eriry. At this fe irlul crisis, when the veiy d"'st:ny of our eounfry seemed to be suspended upon the action of the moment, the silence, the painful silence, was broken. An aged patriarch' arose a venerable and stately form, his head is while wi'h ihe frosts -of many years. He casttm the assembly an inexpressible look of inteiest and unconquerable determination ; while on his vis- tgc the hue of age was. lost in the burning tatri- onsni thai fired his cheek, There is," said he. a tide in the affairs of men, a nick of time We perceive it now' before ue. That noble in strument upon your table, which ensures immor tality to its author, should be subscribed this ve ry mnrniu?, bv every pen in the house. He w ho will not respond to its accents, and etrain every "erve tn carry inioelH c' its provisions, is unwor 'hy the name of a freeman. Although these gray hairs must soon descend into, the sepulchre. I would infinitely rather they should descend thit h - er by the h inds of the public executioner, th-in desert at this crisis, the sacred cause of my ceuti trv." The patriarch sal down and forthwilh ihe declaration w;6 signed hy every member present Who was that venerable patriarch 1 you ask. I answer it was Jehn Wrherspoon of New Jersey, whose name is found among ihe signers of the IJeclarfition, the Magna Char's of bnr Nation's independence."
