TO GEORGE McDUFFIE, ESQ.
Senator from South Carolir

Id
My DEAR McDUFFIE: You must find NV ,nol.
ogy for this public communication, in the rea-
tons of our old and valued friendship, and the in.
teresting subject which constitutes its sole tonic.
On reaching this place last evening from Tex
as, read for the first time, the following extract
OF a recent letter from Mr.. WEBSTER, to some of
his friends in Massachusetts: '.s- -.
81 frankly avow my entire unwillingness TO do
any thing which shall extend the sav of tho
African race on this continent, or adj other Stare
holding states 10 the Union. ** = We hive
slavery already amongst us. The constitution
found II amongst US : it recognized it, and gave it
solemn guarantee. To the full extent OF these
guarantees We are all bound in honor, in JUSTICE.
and by the constitution. = But wben
we come to speak Of admitting new states. the
subject assumes an entirely different aspect. Our
rights and our duties are then both different
In my opinion, the people of the United
States 'caH not consent to bring new. vastly ex.
tenslve and slare-holding country, large enouph
for half a dozen or dozen States, into the IN.
ION: In my opinion they ought not 10 consent 10
We cannot understand this remarkable roon;.
fest. Whilst it asserts broadly that no savebol.
ding State is again to be admitted within the mi
OF the Union, ii leaves by necessary implic,t;on
the door open without limit, to the admission IF
those in which domestic slavery docs no, exi.,
la other words he tells US, whom we adonted The
federal Constitution we permitted you to como in
Arkansas intelligencer., 1844-04-27

We have perused the decision of the Hon. p.
v. Daniel, rendered in the case Of "The United
States vs. Moses Alberty," upon an indictment
for murder committed upon the person Of Long,
a white citizen Of the United States.
We are not learned enough to question or dis.
pute the legality of this decision, yet we are not
blind to its evil consequences, unless the remedy
of especial legislation" be applied speedily
There is no natural Justice in it though there be
legal conformity.
lli This case has been determined upon technical
reasons alone, and well may Americans despair Of
protection, and that justice we hold common to all
men, when beyond our, precincts. We cannot
point out any defect in the decision so far as law
is concerned. for we IRE ignorant whether there
be any. But truth is hard to find, and there are
advocates who do .'. 81 '' -.'' -' ''
g. mako the worse appear
1oarov'T Tic better reason, to perpex and dash
al Maturest counsels;'' E,y - 7la--
while their quibtling upon mere phraseology has
deprived many q freeman of justice. .......t
Out upon the understandings which would per-
But the Hon. Judge says that Especial lcglsIa.
ron'' is requisite to the government of such cases:
saying, the Circuit Court of the U. S. for Arkan.
sas has no more jurisdiction over crime beyond
the limits of its District than the Circuit Courts of
our State. Then let our Senators and Represen-
tallye be requested Immediately to procure this
Especial legislation by etreatng Congress to cre-
ate two Districts, the North. Western to comprise
those counties bordering the Indian country, and
the uhole of thatcountry.S
Poor defences have we, indeed, against Indian
outrages: not only do our forts remain half built
and half garrisoned, but the frail protection of
msintepreted law, instead of being strengthened,
is now entirely taken from us. ra.3 .m... 80
The Indians do not understand the technicali
ties of legalism; this decision will therefore open
the aood-sates of Indian hatred, and quarres will
result in death; unless the Indian Government
thus rendered p0rerful, should itself deal justice
TO us. 1aT Dr. $40 . a1,f' p tsE 'E-..f s"as
