Negro Testimony.

resolution was carried in the Virgin.
ia Legislature few days since offered by
r.. II. Towner, to instruct the committee
on Courts of Justice, TO inquire into tie
expedency of SO amending section II OF
chapter l76 of the Code Of Virginia, as to
admit the testimony of negroes against
white persons charged with the abduction,
or attempt TO abducI slaves from the Com
monweai.h. when the persons so charged
shall be citizens of such states as admit
negro testimony in cases in which white
persons are parties. We think such law
would be productive Of good, resulting in
the detection and conviction of many a
scoundreI, upon the same principle that
citizens of the Commonwealth are treated
when endeavoring TO recover back their
propertv in slaves, from such states as ad-
nit negro testimony. The people will
soon learn that the dear oppressed negro
is not quite so great IN the estimation OF
those fanatics. when they are permitted 10
testify against them. The Law would be
righteous one and ought 20 be passed.
