DR.. Ford's Land.

An editorial notice Of DIR. j. w. Ford's
land appeared in our last issne. 10 which an
exception has been takon. The notice re q.
ferred 10 his advertisement of lands for sale,
and concluded and gel a,cyer TO draIo
The lille deeds"
This, We Ire caGstrained 10 think, is good
advice to De applied generally; but irnsmuch
as DR.. Ford conceives that the public may
construe il as intended to apply particularly
to his premises, we take this occasion to
correct any such impression. Though not
written by ourselt, we are warranted in
saying That nothing was meant to imply n
question as 10 title, and for ali that the
Ledger Office knows TO the contrary, the
premises in question are in as saIcab!e a
condition as any mans IN the country. The
lands were not offered for sale on Monday
ae the advertisement. stated, aud Va are re-
quested TO say in this connection that they
may still be treated for privately.
The above explanation we make upon
the bare intimaiion that the notice referred
to had been misconceivcd by Dr. Ford and
without reiel ence 10 note received from
him in relation 10 the matter, the tone of
which was Objectionable to us, and which
note has since been withdrawn.

lutions /:
Whereas, there have come TO be two
sections in this Union, distinct IN social
constitution, and in objects and motions
Of legislation.
And whereas Of these, The Northern
section mas come 10 be the stronger, ami
has moved the Government 10 consider
and disturb the SOCIAL institutions Of the
South.
And whereas the Southern section, af.
fected by the institution Of damestic slave
~, is tber1in charged with most mo.
mentous trust, TO the proper execution Of
which there is a necessity for an unres-
trcted choice Of means, and fell Of IN
embarrassed action. Be it therefore,
Resolved That the several States Of
the South are Of right and ought TO be
in fact, supreme upon the questions which
affect the fortunes Of domestic slavery.
Resolved, That the measures of the
General Government, restrictive Of the
foreign slave trade, are in derogation Of

sons. Referred 10 the Committee on the
Judiciary.
The Lancaster ledger. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1852-1905, 1858-12-08

Resolrei, That the Act Of Congress de-
claring the Slave Trade to be piracy, if il
be understood Us filming that il is piracy
in the nature Of things and in tho sense OF
the Constitution, afiirms what is not true
and, inasmuch as i. purports and intends to
conveft into piracy what is not so in the
nature of things,.nnd in the sense of tho
Constitution the said Act is unconstituiion.
al, null and void.
These were referred to the Committee
on Federal Relations by u vote of 25 ayes,
l3 nays, and no doubt the good sense of
onr Legislature will leav" the question rails
ed where it legitimately belongs-to the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
