The Times Answered.

There is no paity in the United States, besides the Opposition to Democracy ia the South, who advocate or are in favor of the revival of the African slave trade.— Chicago Times. If the Times had tried to misrepresent the fact, it could not have succeeded more co-ia-pletely. The Democracy at the South favor the revival; Stephe>; IS , Rhett, Yancy, JefE Davis, Forsyth, Mtcßae, all prom.in.eut Democrats, do not conceal their opinions;. Democratic Legislatures have discussed tbe-scheme-with favor, r,nd the Democratic press go> either for legalizing the trade or for re-open-ing it in defiance of lawz. We do zsc-t know an opponent to Democracy who favors the re-opening of the slave, trade. The Savanah Republican, a sound Opposition paper, opposed to the revival of the traffic, is cctnpelled to concede that the measure is growing upon Southern opinion, and states in illustration of the fact, that nine tenths of the delegates in the Democratic Congressional Convention of that district went for the repeal of the laws against the slave trade, while every single aspirant for the nomination declared himself for the revival of the trade. According to the Republican] there are two classes of the slave trade par- ' ty, one going for the actual revival of the; trade, the other for the repeal of the laws: against it, not because they care ai out the ; trafle, but because those laws are a standing j moral condemnation of slavery.—Loutsv»7Ze | Journal.
