We have the most ample proof and snail lake
pains TO spread it before our readers IN COM

present the following article, taken from the
Vicksburg Sentinel:

Whereas there exists, and is carried on he

was to put an end to all obstacles to the cor

authority of Congress might be invoked &c
the suppression of this outrageous violation c
human rights, as it is called, the rights c
Shareholders to buy or sell, or to have the
negroes transported in vessels belonging
citizens OF the United States.

Fillmore is an aboIitionist. If this proof doe

would not.
