the introduction of the bill. A man had died and left
large number of slaves be free when they had earned
money enough to carry them out of the State. They
had been hired out to raise this money; and while so
hired out they had by declaring themselves free, cor
rupted the negroes with whom they were associated

life and get all the benefit from them he could and then
liberate them at his DEATH Other Senators spoke on
the BILL some difference Of opinion existing in regard to
Details but all feeling and acknowledging the evil effects
of the course against which the bill is intended guard
The prominent instance referred to by Mr. Ashe is very
well known to the citizens of this dstric-no doubt its
effects in an doining county were highly injurious This
we say without any wish to reflect upon the memory Of

Before the meeting of the Legislature we took occa
