proper sense of Justice between nations, and
he rclierates his determination 10 have them
respected by all the means of authority of
which he is possessed. With the forecast

Trading with Slaves.

We publish ihi, week. with one or two
others, the Act PASSED at The last session OF
the Legislature, TO amend the law in relation
to trading with slaves. The penalty, il is
hoped, will produce the effect of checking,
somewhat, this very common praciicc.-
Mildcr remedies hive been tried in vain.-
The Legislature WAS in Wcasurc forced 10
adopt this, or some other measure equally
stringent. The offences had become so
common that the people, in various sections
We're beginning to take The law into their
o"n hands. Lynch law had been resortrd
to, and it was better that the people have
the sanction Of law for the inilic,ion Of the
only punishment that has availed any thing.
and which privilege they were determined
10 exercise 10 any event.

Accounts against the State.


We notice complaints from various news-
papers, Ia Liv Wy n which their accounts
against the State Of South Carolina, and
against the Executive Department, were
disposed of at the last session Of the Leg
isa,urc. Some complain that items in their
accounts were reduced about one half, aud
Other items rejected aliogrthcr upen in-at-
ticlsnt prctcxts. These charges, We have
reason to believe, we not made without
being justified by the attending circun-
stances. In the matter Of our owa accoun I,
we ure well convinced that if no more than
ordinary effort had been made to collect it,
10y the member having i, in eharge,we ", ud
not have realized much over half of the
amount charged, every farthing of which
was Justly our due. AS it was, two or
three items were rejected finally some
upon grounds which We are not disposed TO
qaarel with, viz that they could not pro.
per!y be presented TO The State. One item,
however, r,against the Executive Department,
n Charge of five dollars, was refused pay.

vcruseuent WAS never ordered published

that they whose duty it was to examine our
account, and not we. were In errcr.
Pr"pretors Of other newspapers, we
doubt not, have as good grounds for com.

led. Gentlemen, whose peculiar province
1t Is to see that the State is not imposed up
on by means of unjust demands against
her, should bc careful that their great zeal
doe. not lead them into the fault of com
mittng injustice upon those who have truly
earned the piitIncr set forth IN their claims.
The State will never become bankrupt from
