The South in favor Of Ab0liShing Sla-
very Merchandise,

We think our southern friends in Con.
gress have been unnecessarily hasiy and
sensitive, in relation 10 the efforts which
have been made 10 abolish the great ma
tional slave mart at Washington. The
Calhouns, Berriens, Yulees, and Foote's,
in connection with gentlemen exclusive
ly engaged in this unhallowed traffic in
human 1esh, should have hesitated a
moment, and reflected upon their recon-
mendalion of disolving the Union upon
The pretence that The project was a direct
insult to the South, and an attempt to
NEEDLE with their domestic arrange.
ment.
The inhuman barter and sale of men,
women and children, and making mere
merchantable commodities Of them, is
equally abhorred at the South, among
the c~onsiderale inhabitants, as it is with
us. More Than forty years ago, some Of
The southern States made it a cons,itu-
tional Inhibition. In The Constitution Of
Georgia, Art. A, Sec. IL, it is declared.
" That there shall be no future importa-
ton Of SiaUes into this STATE from Afri-
ca, or any foreign place, after the first
day of October neat, U798."o
Article 7, Sec. /, Of the Kentucky
Constitution, declared that "The Gen.
eral Assembly shall haze full po,cer Il
prepent SLAVES being brought into Thu
Stale, as MERCHANDISE"
The Constitution Of Mississippi pro
hibits the traffic, as follows: "1he in
: PRODUCTION Of SLAVES into this State, a
MERCHANDISE, or for sale, shall be pro
L. hibited from and after the first day {
May, 1885"
, In this State it was not left optiond
with the Legislature, but the higher au
thority itself abolished the traffic. Th,
Constitution of the same State furtho
prohibits actual settlers from purchas
ing SLAVES in any Stale, and bringing then
into Mississippi for their individual use
after the year 1886"
This was a noble effort, in Senator
Foote's own State, 10 prevent the impor'
tation Of slaves. The evil was one o

ANTT-SLAVERY BUGLE, SALEM, O,


that if there are those who are opposed to it
and yet live under its laws, and enjoy the
protection of its power, they should be com
PEELED to aid in its support; and that such
are anarchists and Jacobins who would, If
they had the power, introduce as bloody
scenes as France ever witnessed.
There are DIssenters in America as well
as in acknowledgements from the State
Establishment here, as from the Church Es-
adjustment there. They hold that the Gov
eminent is erroneous in some of its doctrines,
and unjust in some of its practices /; and that
it has no right to require allegiance from a
man because he happens TO be born under its
jurisdiction, or compel him TO pay expenses
connected with its mode of administering
justice. They hold that those who choose
to have such a form and administration Of
government, should pay the expenses of
their own organization, and not meanly use
their numerical power to compel those who
are opposed to the Establishment to pay
State Rates, or Taxes. We believe it is sus-
ceptible Of demonstration that men have as
good, if not a better right to establish on CO.
ercive principles a Church government as a
CIvlI government; that if either are necessa-
ry 10 the welfare of man, it is the former
And it is to be hoped that those who applaud
the English Dissenters for the stand they
have taken against Ecclesiastical oppression,
will not condemn the DissenteTs of this land
for their denunciation of Governmental oppres-
sion.
Withdrawal from the Established Church
of England, is based on the same principle
as withdrawal from the Established State of
America, though the former claims a more
Divine origin-a more express sanction of
heaven than does the latter. Another differ
ence is, that the Church of England, while
e%xacting Chnrch-rates from the Dissenters
does not insist that they owe it allegiance,
but the American government claims both
State-rates and allegiance. The English
Dissenter does not feel that he must leave his
native land because an Established Church
sits in authority there; nor does the Ameri-
can Dissenter feel that he should forsake his
country because an Established State holds
jurisdiction there.
Loyal Americans condemn the Established
Church, but justify the Established State
but are they not both based upon the same
principle, both compelling men to give OIL
their substance 10 support organizations to
which they are opposed?
