Tie National Intelligencer iabors hard
to show that the unrestrained introduction
.of slaves into the territory west of the
Mississippi, would not bs an fttfnaion
of slavery. The argument, if sound,
would prove that, if slavery had been
confined to the state Of Delaware ever
since the prohibition of the slave trade,
there would now be just as many slaves
i'll that state as there now are in the Unit
ed States
The Intelligencer says there is not
one member Of congress who is in favor
of the crfenSto74 of slavery. The Ken.
lucky Gazette, however, appears to have
a different notion on this subject; for it
says" The enemies to an e.rtenStox of
slavery west of the Mississippi will have
an addition by the unaccounta6le cleo
ton of Mr.. RUFUS .lIaG, of Newly rk,
to the senate"
