Mr Orr OF South Carolina deserves great credit for the
introduction Of the resolution into the House on the subject
of the restoration Of the African slave trade Something Of
this absolutely necessary after the movement Of Mr.
Ethcrdge and came with peculiar grace and proprety
from representative Of the State the governor of which
had committed the folly Of boldly recommending restora
tion Of traffic which is condemned by the whole civilized
world. The unanimous received better than thou
sand speeches. shows how the South and the
party have been magned by northern ators who alleged
that it their settled purpose reopen this trade This
vote and the expressions Of the southern press show how
completely the project killed the spot Of It's origin.
