ders, and we had been requited by that
State sending among US political va
grants, mendicants and emissaries.
Mr.. Sleedman said as he was the au'

him to define his position. He was no
aboIitionist, The State for whose &C
%commodaIion the original law had been
passed had sent among US niggers, or

a third time, and The question on its pas
sage,
MI. Chambers asked for a state ment
of some Of the reasons in its favor.
Mr.. - moved that it be laid on

the direct line taken by the ~absconding
niggers from the South 10 that i%nslitu-

it as a very great nuisance. 1t had
been guilty Of enormous outrages, and

Mr.. M'Nulty replied hat the charter
contained the reservation. but it was a
matter of the smallest conceivable con
sequence 10 him whether it was contain

If what had been said in reference to it
was true it was a proper aubject Of in
