- Resolutions in favor of reoponing
the slave trade have been introduced
into the South Carolina Legislature.
Wonder how long it will be before SINH
lar ones are introduced into the Mary
land Legislature and the legalzation of
this piracy made test of mans fidelity
to the Locofoco Party and the South. -
BY the way, while the subject is up, has
it not struck you, reader, that this
Slavery Convention trick in this state is
very shallow one. The intention of the
locofoco jockies Of the state is, you know,
to break down the American Party by
it. If the next legislature, which in all
human probability will be strongly
American, vote to enslave the free
negroes, or drive them out of the State,
that is to kill the party with that portion
of our people who are opposed to slavery,
or, who depend upon free labor. On the
other hand, if the Legislature do not vote
to enslave them or drive them out, that is
to kill the party with the pro-slavory part
of the population. Who is blind When
that Slavery Convention meets in June
next, there will probably be somebody
there to attend to it.
