Slave Trade to be Revived.

Within the last few years a disposition
has been shown. on the part of Southern
States to revive the foreign slave trade
Several public journals in the South have
openly advocated it as necessity. 1t is
believed that Southern statesmen are on
ly Wanting an opportune occasion 70
present bill in Congress. repeating the
law which declares the slave trade piracy
President Pierce las just defined his po-
siion in favor of tie repeal OF that law.
by granting free and unconditional par
don to KEHRnAN, WHO was captain and
part owner of the ship Glamorgan,
SLAYER, captured year ago on the coast
of Africa, and brought TO Boston, By
Lieut.. Dowxs. Ourreaders would hard
" credit the statement of Pierce's SYM
palhy in this direction, were it not for the
following act of clemency. over his own
hand, which has found lis way into the
public journals:
FRAsKLIs PIERCE. President of the Uni
ted States of America, to all whom
these presents shall come: greeting.
Whereos, 1t appears that, at the May
term, 1854, of the Circuit Court of the
United States for the district of Nassa-
chusetts, Charles kehrman was convict
ed of the offence of having been engaged
in the African slave trade, and sentenced
to be imprisoned in the Jail at Boston for
the period of three years, and to pay a
fine of 81 600; and ehesefs, it has been
made satisfactorily to appear to me that
the prisoner is lit subject for the exer-
else Of the Executive clemency;
Now, therefore, be it known that /,
Franklin Pierce, President of the United
States of America, in consideration OF
the premises, divers other good and suf-
ficient reasons me thereunto moving,
have granted. and do hereby grant, unto
him, the said Chailes Kehrman, = full
and unconditional pardon.
In testimony whereof, have hereun-
to signed my name, and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
7th day of April. 1856. and of the In
dependence OF the United Safes of Amer
lea, the 80G;l.
