THE COTTON STATES AND SLAVERY
RESTRICTIONS.

The Savannah Republican recommends TO all the
mure Southern States, the adoption Of measures to
prohibit the importation of Slaves upon any pretext,
from the thrce States Of Maryland, Virginia and
Kentucky. The Columbus Times, leading De
mocTatic paper at the Capital, republishes com
munica,iou';o The Gevaruof>of Alabama, upon the
same subject, by Mr.. HEYDsNFELDr, of that
State. The extracts from this communication show
the author to be- able aud praciced writer. He
assumes the existence Of restless State Of feeling
with regard slavery in the States above mention
ed, together with North Carolina, Tennessee and
Missouri; and seems to apprehend such an increase
Of this species Of population, that the Gulf States
must become the ST. Domingo of this country, only
to be averted by war Of extere nation, or prompt
prohibtoIy measures. He argues that the States
referred 10 can be cured of their manumsson- ten
denotes, by presenting TO them the alternative of
retaining the evil either in the form Of slaves or free
negroes. Many arguments, wei learn, are address
cd to the interests and fears Of tho Cotton States in
support of the writer's views and proposed mea-
sures. We have no right to find fault with mea-
ocau,ion and defence on the part Of any Sta,e
but such propositions just now, contrast coldly, We
ny coldly, with the warrnfu attitude Of our own
good1aid State in regard to slavery claims in ano-
Their form. Keep the slaves of the grain-grswing
States from our cotton and sugar limits. (such is the
argumenO and they will unite upon The territorial
outlet-we force them to unite. How ingenious !
How chivalric just as Virginia had passed her Gel
cbraed resolutions of IS49.
