| The British Consul at Charleston has recently

of South Carolina, the subject of the imprison.

Indies. and protests against the restrictions which

The Consul replies, in continuation of his first
note, by reference to the opinion of VIM. Writ,
that the law complained of is void and unconstitu-
tional. He cites Wheaton's National Law The
correspondence closes with note from the Cover
nor, simply acknowledging the receipt of the last
letter from the Consul, and the that the
subject shall be referred to the Legislature, The
letters on both sides are courteous and dignified.

has appealed directly to State, for the removal of
any obstruction to the operation of Treaty. 1t is

Britain will insist on the repeal of this law. If
South Carolina refuses, Great Britain will furnish
herself with cotton from New Orleans, and Caro-
lima may manufacture her own for her own use.
It is evident that there be close alliance be-
tween the two powers. Carolina, when independent
and freed from the shackles of Federal tyranny,
will be the weakest power in the world. Of course
it will receive its law from Britain-or, like Japan
and Paraguay, live within itself This Consular
