SLAVERY IN TExAs-A most convincing proof of the
atrocity of the Southern Slave Code is given in The
Columbia Planter Texan paper, which, after deprecat
ing all discussion upon the subject of slavery publishes
the following paragraph in relation TO the Slave Code Of
Texas which we ind copied in The Columbia Democrat
of the 9th OF April:
I'VE consider it the duty of the County Court to have
these local laws compiled ard printed in cheap FORM and
copy placed each plantation IN the county But we
cannot w Whot consider The true policy and interest
ofe Souh open the columns OF The Planter for their
publication 81,
There is prevailing impression that the doors of evil
deeds seek darkness rather than light and the fact that
Southern pro-Slavery press doubts the policy of pub
fishing its State laws the subject is another evidence
were more needed ofthe niquy of system requiring
the enactment of statutes to sustain it which printer
would blush to publish in the face OF the civilized
world
Sointeryoyen is one crime with another, that Slavery
naturally brushes freedom of speech and of the press
and we are therefore not surprised find the following
remarks in The Planter under the omnous heading,
3" Let the South take care of herself"
We regard the Institution Of domestic slavery purely
local subject which should lie at the feet of the Southern
Press nth death Ike stience for it part Of nearly every
