The Slave Den ut Washington


The Loco Foco journals are constantly taking
of the efforts of hei. party 10 extend the area CT
human freedom ~ ''the blessings of Liberty,
&c. &C. This is the cant of the Plebeian, and
journals of thg. class 1t is uttered in the face
OF Calhoun's official Despatch, avowing that the
Annexation of Texas was vital to US as people,
to prevent the abolition OF slavery in Texas, and
the consequent endangeIng Of It's existence IL
this country. All through the South the De-
mocracy Of the North is eulogized as the great
bulwark and unfailing support of the slave pow
er, and the Wings are taunted as the allies End
supporters of Abolitionist.. 1t was this and
fierce, ursparing hostility to Protective Tarlif
that gave ou, adversaries theii recent victory in
Georgia. And they have all summer been filing
that section with such tracts as The South il
Danger" backed by afhdeyits that Mr.. Clay de
clared in 1881 that the Protective Policy was in
tended to destroy slavery By making it unprofta-
ble and that it should be thus destroyed. OF
course this is an exaggeration or misrepresenta-
ton of any thing MIR. Clay ever said, but it has
been widely circulated, and has had the desired
effect.


The following letter we have hesitated to pub.
FISH, until " have been assured that Thomas VII
liams the great slave-dealer at Washington men,
toned herein, formerly professed to be a Wing
but has recently come out for Polk and Dallas
expressly on the ground that his interest as q
.Slape-dealcr mould be greatly promoted by the
Annexation Of TEXAS. We are assured Of this
by .wo men who have recently converaed with
him and heard the avowalfrom his lips. 1t strikes
us, therefore, that if this question can righlfuy
work one way, it ought to work the other. We
therefore give the Letter, which we have had on
hand some days:


WA,HIyoToy CITY, October lsth 1874.
There is here in Washington Il Slave JAIL or
Negro Pen, as it is called the properly Of a man
named Williams, partner of the mar who was re-
Gently fined and Imprisoned in New Orleans for i'm
porting into Louisana contrary TO law, slaves who
had been convicted OF criminal offences,l and the
place wherein he confines the negroes bought by
him for shipment TO New Orleans He is excu-
svely negro trader: that is his vocation, in
which he is engaged 30 largely 10 require him to
OWN jail, and the vessels in which his living car
goes are transported Southward. His establish
ment situated III the corner OF Mary land Avenue
and Seventh street, has been heretofore as
| unobrusve as such place ought to be-
Citizens knew what it was, and while they regret
ted that such place should be in their midst they
reconciled themselves to its existence from the
knowledge tha though degrading fact in itser it
was an inevitable incident TO q sad domestic insu-
ton, The evils Of which they -ecogniZed but
| remedy Or, except in greater aud more criminal
evils. Strangers might have passed the place un-
| noticing merely wondering, what misanthrope
could have planned and inhabited so gloomy a dwell
! ing. Now this slave depot, ghis lnockery of the
Capitol within full sight Of which it stands, grown
| insoent in the hope of extended trade and in
creased gains, has dared TO challenge observa-
| ton, to rear tall staff above the walls of its
cells, and TO append thereto the SLAVE IRA
pER's BANNER, bearing, in most conspicuous
letters then names Of POLK and DALLAS
Of course these names What other could he in
scribe upon HIS flag, even ever the doorway of his
prison Teas is has Tariff. Polk and Dallas are
has Protection. He, clear sighted man Of business
knows this very well, and as he has already grown
rich in his trade, desires Of course, and strives for
the success Of that party whose policy will enable
him to grew richer He has bet very largely, too,
upon the success Of his candidates Several thou
sands ii is said, are required TO cover his invest
ments in this way. OF course he will not grudge
hundreds 10 secure these investments, and can, and
will, and does spend money freely TO promote this

Polk and Dallas and Texas.


We, who used to Slavery, born in its midst,
are saddened and sickened by many of its features,
and our hearts would gladly turn TO the philanhro-
pist who should propose the practicable, efsctue,
and truly benevolent remedy. We sincerely hope
that Northern votes al least will not be instrumental
ia perpetuatng this revolving slave traffic among U.s.
who have no votes for President, and no RePresen.

Throughout all the South he is marked man. The
gentleman does not shake hands with him. The
gentlemdss son from his very infancy, associates
the idea of most unapproachable iniamy with the
term negro buyer" That is our nursery term.-
By gentleman we mean the man whose heart


from the beginning of his life s taught 10 beat proud
ly 10 consciousness that its impulses are honest and
honorable. Even WE, used are TO all this, are
indignant that this place should presume 10 flaun
its banner TO the common gaze, making proclauip
ton of the misfortune we would for decencys sake
conceal; and get more that this Negro buyer should
have dared, as he has done, TO associate miM his
ocn peculiar banner EVEN UPON THE SAME STAFF
WITH 1T, The flag four common country.


"Flas of the free hearts hope and home,"
We append the advertisement of the establish
ment. Even now, under its 8. Democrdticn flag, il
is driving a thriving business, as you may Judge
from the fact, of which we are informed by most
respectable and credible eyewitness, that on

Of sixty were marched from It's cells, TO the wharf
for shipment to New Orleans, via Alexandra. We
are not told that these joined chorus with their keep
