South Carolina. Ii is fourteen months since question
asked of Lord Stanley in the House about the case of
Manuel Pereira who had been imprisoned at Charleston
Of his dark complexion. No doubt our readers
remember the and that of Reuben Roberts another
British subject treated in the way and that, while
Louisiana modified her laws and arrangements as TO
permit foreign Of any color to be at liberty at
New Orleans. South Carolina not only refused the same
facility trade and the same protection TO nonensiye
conduct in her ports, but buied her sister State Tor
rectfyng her procedure in important matter IL viii
be remembered that the most eminent uTis in the United
States have given their opinion that the procedure OF South

seem to take notice OF IT, The American papers airm

praise the time for its spirit frmness and vigilance. IS

the wishes OF his Government.
We do not believe this and want an explanation
The Charleston papers that the British Minister
AT Washington has ordered the proceedings before the
Courts to be discontinued and the counsel PAID on ana

OF Great Britain should at the time boast OF protect
