think it is wise in US to dispose Of it for the pres
ent by Iesying it where the Constitution and the
Dred Scott decision now place it. We have the
decision of the Supreme Court asserting our right
10 take our slaves into territories We have a the
remedies known to the common law for the pro-
lection of this property in territories. These
NAV be amply sufficient. If 80, then there is no
necessity for further legislation. If these RENE
dies prove insufficient, then we can insist upon
such further action by the Federal Government as
may be necessary to attain the purpose desired
For the present we can safely leave the question
where the constitution and the decision OF the
Supreme Court leave it. This was as understood
it precisely the position taken by Mr.. Calhoun
when he said: 'They 1.-THE Southern states are WIZ
ling to leave the whole subject, where the consul
tuition and the great and fundamental PrlnclPle
of self government place it. Such too' u com-
prehend it correctly, is the position taken by Sena
tor Davis, of Mississippi, on recent OCCASION.
AS regards the revival of the African slave trade,
think it is o most unfortunate issue. Being
clearly impossible in the Union, cannot see what
good can possibly result from its agitation. Be-
Sides. the tendency of this agitation is to divide
and distract the South, when, and above all things
we need unity, harmony and concert Of action at
the South. But if these considerations are ton
conclusive, think the objections to the revival OF
the African slave trade insuperable To go no
farther, we now have 1900, 900 of slaves. In
twenty-five years we will have 5000, 600; in hfty
wears we will have $4,000, 900; in seventy five
years we will have 80, 600, 900. Surely, in the
face of such an increase this in periods so short
to nation, we are under no necessity to plunge
into the ocean of difficulties which will have to be
overcome, to add to our slave population by new
importations.

the members had to buy corn" "Well, said the

this, we are ready to acknowledge, that we are not
