During the autumn Of the year 1854, Chas. Ker.
man, commander of the slaveship Gamorgan, was
captured off the western coast of Africa, brought
to Boston, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to
pay a fine of one thousand dollars, and to be i'm
prisoned in the Peni:cntiary for three years. The
trial occupied many days, had it deferred as long
possible in the first place, petitions were filled for
new trials, and the wretch was kept out of prison
as long as possible. Finally when every other re-
sort failed, and when he beginning to learn the
realities Of convict life, an appeal was made to
President Pierce, and Immediately the scoundrel
was ordered to be set at liberty. This is all per-
lectly Democratic, according to the modern code;
but this grave question presents itself-of what
use are laws against tho slave trade, when those
who are convicted of the crime, are sure to be re-
leased by the President? Would it not be Just as
well to declare the traffic legal at once?
