We should like Cor the Eagle to inform
u. when, whore. and from whom 1t under
stood any such thing. We had private
conversation with friend. which was re-
ported to GOV. Foote, who referred to it
ia hi. speech. with am inaccuracy which
compelled as to rise to personal explain
alton before the convention. The CONVEX
sati1n was aa' ~ the effect that East Mis-
-i-.irri "woutod no more negroes for fear
of a competition with white labor" but
that we were opposed to the unlimited i'm
portation OF Africans, because that would
choapcu labor. throw oil the land,into the
hand, 81 wealthy slave owner. and ulti-
matrly drive poor white men out Of the
South that thc -cryilc population of the
South. m view oft. rapid natural increase,
wa, already in sufficient proportion To- the |
tree population. and that 10 increase 1t in |
definitely was of more than doubtful OK |
pgdieuyv. 10 those opinions we adhere, |
and shall continue 10 adhere until con-
yiured of their 1llacy D., something more |
than violent d'dmciations vt III who OPP !
p1-, thr African ~llv, Trade. uttered 10y |
such new made southern right, men ~
those who are the leading champions %! |
Of that measure in thi. State. We all re-
collect chat iu advocating the annexation
Of Texas. and opposing the Wilmot Pro-
vi-oaltcr the war with Mexico, the Lead
ing argument with the States rights party
WIS that the South must have more terri
| tory-thut the natural increase oi our
| slaves. tor nobody thought then Of re-
| opening the African slave trade would in
/ "a tow years render them yaluelc.s. and
/ 10 pcut up with our then limits, bring evils
i up1u the South too terrible to mention.
What new light. we ask, has broken upon
| The minds of Southern men since then,
| To iuvalidlt, this argument! IL may not
indeed. DE good against the editors Of the
Eui. and True Nrftsroa. tor the party to
which they always belonged, never admit
ted los force. That party was willing that
the slave population Of the South should
Dr. confined within the territory posses
.ed ly the south before the annexation Of
reEe-, and oppo-ed Laat great measure.
Bnt tho monte of the south decided other
viso-they thought that We needed more
territory in view Of the rapid augmenta-
lion Of the then slave population. The
argument therefore certainly appeals TO
the consistency of State Rights Democrats
who favored tho annexation Of Texas. and
wer. ready TO faht on the wilmot proviso.
