Of places Of subscription, Scc.] Before the
Question was stated on these amendments,
Mr.. C24ftofi of Va. moved to strike out the
6rst section Of the bill. This, he believed,
was a proper time TO try the principle of the
bill. and, as he could not conscientiously
xtBte for this bin or any bill to establish
Nisticael Bank, he felt it to be his duty 20
make the motion he had now offered to the
House His objection to the passage of any
bill on this subject was foundes on a thorough
belief, the resultcs a deliberate examination
cf the constituti'n and reflection thereon.
that there did fi3t exist in Congress any right
20 Iegislate Oh the subject at all !; that no
sort Of auth. TO pass this bill was vested
in ConsI either expressly or as incidental to
any power expressly granted. To support
and exemplisg this opinion, Mr.. Clopton en-
tered into constitutional argument of con-
siderable leasth, and no little ability. He
spoke for about an hour, and concluded with
an earnest exhortation TO the house not to
give its sanction to an Institution which he
believed not only unconstitutional, but fraught
with dangerous consequences.
The questio' being about to be put on Mr..
Cloptou's mot n without debate
Mr.. Gdsto,s of n. G. took the fioor--A-
mong the most alarming indications of the
times, he remarked, was the apathy which
pervaded the house on this occasion an
apathy resembling the numbness which gen
orally precedes mortal dissolution, under the

lance as this was about 70 be taken without

In 1884, Portuguese Captain, named
Alonzo Gonzales, having doubled Cape Boy
ador landed in Guinea, and carried of some
lads, whom ne sold advaDtageously to Moor
ish families settled in the South of SPAIN
Six years afterwards he repeated this act Of
piracy; and az the practice seemed to an
swer, many adopted it, and IN 1881 built
fort TO project this traffic. The whole stock
of slaves now in America and the West-In-
