PROTEST AGAINST THE Policy OF
SOUTH CAROLINA

AS we have heretofore stated the propo-
eition of Governor Adams, of South Carroll.
ma, TO reopen the slave trade, meets with
little favor ir the slave States. The Federal
Union, Published at Milledgevile, Georgia,
speaks of the recommendation in the follow
ing manner:
"We do not believe Governor Of another
Southern State can be persuaded to make a
similar Recommendation. The Southern
people have no more idea of reviying the
African slave trade than they have of admit
ting their slaves to the rights and privileges
Of citizenship. a few men at the South are
unhappy and restless if they cannot keep the
Northern people in capital, wherewith 10
harass the more quiet end peace-oying of
their brethern The Southern people must
keep wide awake if they would save them.
selves and the Union under which they live.
The suicidal hand is ready to do the work of
destruction"
The st. Louis Republican also uses the
following emphatic language:
For one, we do not admit the right Of
South Carolina or Of Gov. Adams to lay
down a platform for the South. Missouri
does not admit it. Within a week we have
noticed in papers of all politics in the State
reputation Of Sonth Carolina politics. If
that commonwealth is fairly represented by
Gov. Adams, and is determined upon such u
policy as that disclosed by his message--ii
Brooks, in his recent crazy platform fore
shadows the measures to be adopted by n
Southern party, to be gathered in every slave
State, then Missouri is not in the ring; or
rather South Carolina exiles herself from the
fifteen slave States of the South. Missouri
can have no interest in supporting such a
system Of labor as that recommended by
L. n a ..,.,..
are plainly in maintaining the present order
of things among US. Missouri can scarcely
respond with gravity to the proposition to
reopen the slave trade. Her 100000 peo-
pie answer it with scornfn lough Or. i!
they answer it gravoly. it is by telling South
Carolina that they stand by the declarations
of Congress, ard the slave trade is piracy,
and justly so declared, and that we have no
need of its aid"

African slave trade as Shocking to the moral
sentiment of the enlightened portion Of man
kind, or any act Oh the paft of Csnefess legs

Mr. Etherdge to move the previous question
on the adoption of the resolution 10 cut OF
debate.
Mr.. Etheridge replied that the resolution
contained as self.evidept proposition. He
resumed avery gentleman had an opinion Oh
the subject. He should not discuss it, but
would move the previous question.
Mr.. Jones, Of Tennessee, wanted Mr.. Eth
eridge to leave out the argument ia the reso.

re-opening the African slave trade as his col
league.

saying debate was insdmissabie at the pres
ent time.

dent to repeal the laws prohibiting the Airi-

tons of Governor Adams.
Messrs. Keitt and Garrett remarked that
had they been present, they would have vot-
ed in the negative.

CANAL BOARD,


Having mislsid the Gazette" OF The 9th
inst. we were not aware until few days
since that the editor bad attempted reply TO
our structures on the removal of Mr. Diefen-
bach by the Canal Board. We say attempt
ed, because il smounts to nothing more. The
Gazette Gays we ask the abolition Of the
bpsfl because "Mr Elliott was obnoxious"
to US. This is not the case. We have
noting TO say individually ogsinst Mr.. Elliott
or Mr.. Dielenbach. Politically, they have
both bee, opposed TO us. But We, in CON-
mon with the people, weuld like, at least,
some shade. Of an excuse. for the removal oi
tried and Competent officer, before his time,
to make room 'r an inexperienced one oI
daubtful qualifications.
But the Gazette Nrther adds the follow
ing:
'As to the dialogue appended 10 our neiccs.
bors article, we ore authorised to say shat
there is not word OF truth in it,"
We have no doubt but that the Major, not
only "outhorised," but requested i,s denial, as
~-lI he might; but il the Major supposes bis
simple denial was sufficient to ignore state.
m.nt of facts, vouched Tor by us, lie is grossly
mistaken in the estimate Of his character in
this community. Our neighbor should have
learned. by this time. that We never make
charges without being able to back them
and wc shall do so ia this case.
We therefore repeat, that every wcr,l ia
that dialogue. lie substantially true. and that
We m eht, truthfully have sdded more. 0ur
information came from a source before whom
the Major dare not deny it
We might have added that the President
Of the Board informed the Major. that So far
as be was concerned, the appointments would
be made by the Board, and not by outsiders
The Major may hnve been oblivious. but that
will not alter he fucts.
The President Of the Board could easily
settle this question of veracity. and We ARE
willing that he shall be Consulted
