SOUTH CAROLINA AND GREAT BRITAIN.
Hon. Geo. B. Mathews, late Governor of
the Bahamas, now British Consul for North
and South Carolina, has officially called
the attention of Gov. Means of S. c. to
the law of that State which forbids any
free negro to come within her borders, I'M
der penalty of expatriation and ultimately
of sale as slave if he persists in staying
or returning, and further provides that any
colored person arriving there as seaman,
cook, OF steward of vessel, shall be forth
with sent to Jail, and there confined until
the vessel is ready to sail and hauled out
into the streams when he shall be reclaimed
by his captain, l0hO shall be required to pay
all the erpenSes Of his arrest and detention!
If the captain don't choose to redeem him,
the poor devil (having no business to be
born nigger) is left in pretty bad fix.
Consul Mathews talks very mildly, but
seems to begin in meekness so as not to be
under the disagreeable necessity of singing
small at the close. He tells the Governors
however, that this enactment is directly in
the teeth of the existing treaty stipulatiOns,
which the Federal Constitution makes the
supreme law of the land, and trusts it will
be repealed forthwith. The Governor an
swers with moderation, and refers the
matter to the Legislature. We cannot
Judge what is the chance of favorable &C
ton by that body; but we conclude that
the Consul does not intend to be easily dis
couraged. By the way: Columbia cor
respondent of the Erening Post says the
following passage was in Gov. Means's An
nual Message, but stricken out on the pro-
test of the British Consul aforesaid after 1t
had been actually delivered 10 The LegisLa-
ture and printed in The State paper! Hear I!
"Does History, upon a single page record an instance
Of nation ceasng its oppression from returning
Of justice, feeling OF mercy the oppressed Let the
fate Of dismembered POand-of ruined Hungary,
the question ty.sqS ne h,''org 2, nato~t Jo,O1I,

her defense ioho rs not instantly dyonsd camoroa'
n0se Of No hand be rasrd strike
biot0Jov hy liberty that IS not instantly pierced BY British
bayoncts"
twill be question with many whether
the putting of the above into his Message
or the striking it out again reflects more dis
credit on the Chief of the Chivalry. We
think the latter.
