extent that the owner would not sell her for less
than $40, while he repeatedly offered her, without
takers. at $50 before Mr. Rarey had been intro

ANOTHER LETTER FROM JUDGE

NAsulNGlON aug. Z.
The letter from Judge Douglas to Colonel
Briton covers two poinls-naturaliz and
the African Slave de-substantialy as fol-
lows.
There can be no difference in the degree Of
protection accorded by Government TO native
aud uaturnlzed citizens. Our constitution
recognizes no difference in this respect, lfa
person can expiate himself from foreign
government and swear allegiance to this and
still oweauything to the foreign power he is in
the singular and incredible predienment of
owing allegiance to two countries without he
ing entitled to the protection due to all our
citizens.
In the Convention the Constitution was
creative of compromise, and the African Slave
Trade was the subject South Carolina and
Georgia wished 10 continue IT, Virginia, Penn
sylyania, New Jersey and New York wished
il terminated, New England was passive IN
the matter. South Carolina and Georgia final
ly carried their point of feonhnuauce till the
wear 1908, with the Understanding that il
should then end IL therefore became the vi
tai compromise, of the instrument, and must be
held ms sacred as the instrument itself In
this view Judge Douglas declares himself 10
be irroyocably opposed 20 the re-oponing OF
the African Slave Trade.
