tom CORWIN ON THE SLAVE TRADE.
WHAT HE SAID IN 1913.

To the Editor Of The ~ Y. Trf6rae.
SIR: have noticed in the columns Of most of the
widely-crculaed newspapers and periodicals Of the
day, many conflicting criticisms on some Of the more
recent sayings OF Mr. Corwin OF Ohio and in view Of
all the denuncistons hurled against bin by certain
radical AboliiioIiss here and elsewhere for his ad
vocacy Of obedience to the Fugitive Slave Law while
said law remains unrepealed national statute
book thought that il would be doing him only mod
crate justice to remember or two Of the good things
that he uttered when in the United States Senate,
eleven years since. Permit me, then, as who be-
heyes that Dir. CorwiD opponent Of Slavery, 10
growing with the growth Of the Republican party, TO
call attention to the following extract from his speech
against the Compromise BILL delivered in the Senate
Of the United States, July a. lSis ! give the ex-
tract entire find it in Helpers compend of " Tho
IMPENDING Crisis of the South"
81 am the more confirmed in the course which am
determined TO pursue, by some historical facts ellced
in this very discussion. remember what was said by
the Senator from Virginia the other day. IL IL truth,
tlat when the Constitution of the United States
made, South Carolina aud Georgia refused 70 come
into the Union unless the slave-trade should be con-
tinued for twenty years and the North agreed that
they would vote 10 continue the saveade for twenty
years yes, voted that this new Republic should en-
gage in piracy and murder at the will OF two States
SO the history reads and the condition Of the agree
ment was that those two States should agree TO soma
arrangement about navigation laws. do NOT blame
South Carolina and Georgia for this transaction sny
more than do those Northern States who shared in IL
But suppose the question now presented here by
any one whether should adopt the foreign slave
trade and continue il for twenty years would not the
whole land turn pale with horror that IN the middle Of
he nineteenth century, citizen Of free community,
Senator Of the United States should dare 10 propose
the adoption OF system that has been denominated
piracy and murder and is by law punished by death all
ever Christendomi What did they do then They
these two States they allowed that TO be introduced
into the Constitution, 10 which much Of Slavery now
existing in cur land is clearly be traced For who
can doubt that, but for that woeful bargain Slavery
would by this time have disappeared from all the
States then In the Union with two exceptions
