Another step in Regulating the Declaration o
Independence.

Clingman of N. c., the other day introduced the
following resolution into Congress;
Resolred That in the opinion of the House of
Representatives, it is the unquestonable right of
each one of the States TO exclude, either wholly or
partially from her territory, negroes, either free or
slaves and that the exercise of the right affords
just ground of complaint to either States or nations
The immediate object of this movement is said TO
be TO obtain national sanction for imprisoning col
Ored seamen and other free blacks when caught in
Southern ports, and selling them slaves. The ul-
innate object is the establishment of national princi
pile making the lchoe african incapable Of 9neri
citizenship. The Southern papers boast, that in
view of the late triumphant progress of the slave
power this principle soon be carried through
the whole North, and intimate that there is already
a majority in Congress in favor of it, Perhaps there
is and perhaps a vote might be obtained in that Re-
publican body declaring negroes monkeys, and the
Declaration Of independence lie. 1t would not sur
prise us much more than some things they have done
within the last two years.-G. W, Freeman.
