Frsm the National Era.
Mr., Dix-A Hemin tscence.


Mr.. Dix, in his excellent remarks in the SEN
ate, a few days since, on the presentation Of the
New York resolutions, thus referred to some
matters of interest in the history Of this Dis
trict:
81 understand that, in 1902, forty-Six years
ago, this traffic was presented by the grand jury
Of the city Of Alexandria, as grievance which
ought 10 be abated. John Randolph, Of Roam
oks, in 1916, introduced a resolution TO inquire
whether such traffic existed. He pronounced
II 10 be Illegal and inhumsn, and the object Of
his resolution was 10 adopt the necessary mea-
sures for its suppression. / understand, too,
that the inhabitants Of this city have presented
Il as a grievance before their judicial tribunal
and that the court replied that there was nc
authority to interfere without an act Of Con-
gress. Mr.. President, this is not all. have a
petition here, or a memorial, from the inhabi-
tants Of the District Of Columbia to Congress
praying for the gradual abolition of slavery
This memorial was presented in 1928, and
will read II for the purpose OF showing that the
resolution of the Legislature of New York
which is pronounced 10 be insulting, has moi
gone 80 far as the resolution of the inhabitants
Of the District:
To the honorable the Senate and House Of Rep.
rssentafires Of the United Statss Of America
in Congress assembled:
We, the undersigned, citizens Of the
counties Of Washington and Alexandra, ir
the District Of Columbia, beg leave to cal
the attention of your honorable body to ar
evil Of serious magnitude, which greatly
impairs the prosperity and happiness of Thu
District; and casts the reprOach OF incon
sistency upon the free institutions establish
ed among us.
While the laws Of the United State
denounce the foreign slave trade as piracy
and punish with death those who are foun'
engaged in its preparation, there exists il
this District, the seat OF the National Gov
eminent, domestic slave trade, scarcel,
less disgraceful in its character, and evel
more demoralising in its influence. Fo
this is not, like the former, carried on agains
a barbarous nation; its victims are reare
up among the people Of this country, edr
Gated in the precepts of the same religion
and imbued with similar domestic attach
ments.
These people are, without their consen
torn from their homes---husband and viii

Here is the whole number Of warrants taken
up to the time Of the present session Of Con

have practically declared for free soil, siT TO one!

space. No speech that has been spoken
in either House will have better effect
than this one. The argument is as plain
and direct as the figures and facts on which
they stand, and which are given by the side

copies OF il have already been ordered by
members for distribution among their con
stituents. Such speeches do not need the
patronage Of the government to bring them

Horace Mann, in alluding to ill-venti-
lated school-houses, remarks as follows:
To put children on short allowance
Of fresh air, is as foolish as II would have
been for Noah, during the deluge, to have
put his family on short allowance OF water.
Since God has poured out an atmosphere
fifty miles deep. it is enough to make q
