II will be remembered that Gov.
Troup, in one of his Incorporate COM
anunica,ions to the Legislature of Geor-
ga, imputes to the Attorney General
of the United States, the expression of
the following sentiment, said to have
been uttered before the Supreme
Court at its late term, vIz.-"Ihat Sfa-
.Ysry, bang inconsistent nth The taps of
God and Of natwe, cannot erist."-
This the Governor gives as fact, as

Judge Marshall says that the Attorney
General denounced the Slave Trade
not Slavery; the practice of making
Freemen Slaves--not tnat oil holding In
Slavery those who were born slaves

would have excited the attention too
strongly TO be forgotten.

has consulted his memory and careful
" examined his notes; and does not
hesitate 10 say that no such proposition
was advanced before the Court, nor "a
ny other. from which the imputed sem
timent could be deduced. Judge Du-
vail replies nearly in the same language
as that used by the Chief Justice; but
adds conclusive evidence that the Attor.

Executive in any thing he might have
said. You commencedyo your argument"
