A New Apology for Slavery.

We suggest that the following be printed
by way oe appendix to the Rev. Dr. Adams
next edition of "Sou,h side view OF Slavery. ~
We co mmend is also TO the special aiten-
tion cf those editors who were so shocked
at what they were pleased 10 call Mr..
Banks's amalgamation sentiments:
(From the Missouri Democr,t)
Very lately a pamphlat has been freely
circulated throughout Missouri, entitled
"a Report made tn the Platte County Self
Defensive Association by committee,
through d. F. Stringfellow, Chairman."-
In that Report, on page 80, occurs the fol-
lowing atrocous and infamous paragraph: :
"Negro slavery has a further effect on the
of the white woman, ,ohich should
commend the institution to all who love The
,ohite race more than they do the negro. 1t is
shield to the virtue of the white woman.
$50 long as man is letod, woman ,oiH be his
uictim. Those who are forced to occupy
menal position, have even been, will ever
be most tempted, least protected; this is
one cf the evils of slavery; it attends all
who are in that abject condition, from The
beautiful Circassan TO The sable daughter Of
Africa. While we Init the selfshness OF
the sentiment, zoe are free TO declare zoe love
the uhite Woman so muci, we woala sape her
euen at the sacrifice of The negro, would throw
around her every shield, keep her cut Of the
way Of temptation.
"Such are the effects of Negro Slavery upon
the individual character of the white race"

severe condemnation of the people Of this coun.
try. and Of this body in particular.
On these resolutions motion was made to
suspend the rules--yeas 1913, nays SO. Fill.
more voted my, with Adams Giddngs, and
Slade Two-thirds not voting in the afErma-
tive. the rules were not suspended.
The call for resolutions still resting with
the State Of Ohio, Mr.. Weller offered Mr..
Bottss resolutions as his own. In the dis
cussion which then took place, Mr.. Fillmore
appeared as the special apologist and defender
Of his conirerc, Giddings, who seems to have
been as closely allied to him in feelings as we
have shown him to have been in votes.
But the case against Mr.. Fillmore does not
stop here. By the Congressional Globe, Sd
session, 9th Congress, lS42-43, page l06,
it will appear that on the 3D. day of January,
ls43, Mr.. Sladc, of Vermont, moved the fol-
lowing preamble and RESOLUTIONS:
Whereas, by II law Of the United States,
framed on the 18th May, 1927 the foreign
slave trade is declared to be piracy, and is
made punishable by death; and whereas there
is, and has long been, carried on in the Dis
trict of Columbia within sight of the halls of
the two houses Of Congress, and the residence
Of the Chief Executive Magistrate of the ma.
ton, trade in men, involving all the princi
pies OF outrage on human rights which charac-
terize the foreign slave trade, and which have
drawn upon it the malcdictions of the civilized
world, and stgmatized those engaged in il as
enemies OF the human race; and whereas the
trade thus existing in this District is aggravat-
ed in cnormity by reason of its being carried
on in the heart of nation whose institutions
arc based upon the principle that all men are
created equal and whose laws have in effect
proclaimed its great and superlatvc niquity;
aggravated, moreover, by its outrage on the
sensibilities of Christian community, the
United States having conferred upon Con-
grcss no right to establish the relation of slave
ry, or 10 sanction and protect Tie STARE TRUE, Ia
amy por,ion If this confederaey: thefore, resolv.
ed" &c, &c.
Mr. Fillmore voted in favor of this pream-
bic and resolution, with his partcipators il
negrodon, Adams, Giddings, and Sladc.
Why need we comment upon such conduct
and acts as the above? Why need we expose
the universal and unremitting hostility Of this
man Fillmore towards the South? If there
are native born men OF the South who are
sworn under violent oaths and obligations to
support him. although they betray thereby
every right dear to the South what need is
there of comment? Yet we would warn them
against their suicidal course and appeal to
their reason in behalf of their own ircsides.
