then said he would make a few observations on
the objections which the gentleman had thrown
out on the restrictions that might be LAID on
the African trade after the year 1908. On TINS
point your delegates had TO contend with the
religious and political prejudices OF the Eastern
and Middle States, and with the interested and
inconsistent opinion Of Virginia who was warm
ly opposed to our importing more slaves. am
cf the same opinion now as | was two years
ago when used the expressions the gentle
man has quoted that while there renamed one
acre of swamp land uncleared, Of South Caro-
lima, would raise my voice against restricting
the importation of negroes am as thorough
ly convinced as that gentleman ia that the ma
ture of our climate, and the fiat, swampy stu
alton Of our country, obliges us to cultivate our
lands with negroes and that, without them,
South Carolina would soon be desert waste
You have 80 frequently heard my sentiments
on this subject that | need not now repeat
them. 1t was alleged by some of the members
who opposed an unlimited importation, that
slaves increased the weakness OF any State who
admitted them that they were dangerous
species of property, which an invading enemy
could easily turn against ourselves and the
neighboring States; and that as we were al
lowed a representation for them in the House
of Representatives, our influence in Govern
ment would be increased in proportion as we
we're less able TO defend ourselves. " Show
some PERIOD said the members from the East
ern States, @when it may be in our power to
put stop, if we please, to the importation OF
this weakness and we will endeavor, for your
convenience, to restrain the religious and 20,
litical prejudices of our people on this subject"
The Middle States and Virginia made as no
such proposition; they lcere for an immediate
and total prohibition, We endeavored to obvl,
ate the objections that were made, in the best
manner we could and assigned reasons for our
insisting on the importation, which there is nc
occasion to repeat as they must occur to every
gentleman in the house. A committee OF the
States was appointed, in order to accommodate
this matter and, after great deal OF difficulty
it was settled on the footing recited in the Con
stitution.
