sThe laws of Congress carrying out the power
given to Congress by the Constitution, prohibits the
African Stare Trade, and makes that trade piracy.
But If importing negroes as emigrants from Africa is
not the Stare Tf12e then the laws of Congress do
not apply to it. WEI nose e~migrants from Africa
may Just as legitimately be 6cA ght into the United
States as e~migrants from Germany or ireland. Nor
will the circumstance of an agreement beiny nrevi-
ously made for employment and wages, at all
the legality of the importation. Hundreds, thousands
are being imported daily from Europe, under the
agreements wUh the manufacturers of New England,
to carry on their factories. If the Government of the
United States shall, therefore, determine that the
Importation Of negroes from the African coast, by
England and France, as emigrants into the West
India Islands, is not the African Slave Trade, then
the whole trade Of bringing negroes from Africa is
also open 10 the Southern States. What becomes of
the negroes after they are imported into a State will
be an affair of the State. The General Government
can have nothing to do with il. The enforcement of
any contract for wages will beoentirely within the
Jurisdiction of abe Courts OF II States. And if pub
grants, establishes practically that they shall be
slaves, thefo is no redress by any other authority
than that of he States in which they are located
