TougAts on the African Slave Trade.

xOuS Atb Uu tile AiTlcdu Dlate 1THue
 The Constitution contains a clause pro- tsctsng this traffic from prohibition prior to the year 1908. It was not only regard ed no crime, but engaged in by all sec lions of the Union, more especially the Northern, and thought worthy of dstinc- tive Constitutional protection. No soon- CT, however, had the twenty years safe guard elapsed, than the descendants of our wise forefathers pronounced 1t piracy, enacted law against the trade, and affixed the penalty of dsath to its viola tion. It certainly appears plainly that a mere statement of these facts is fully sutii- cient to prove the folly and injusllce of the law. It is fundamental principle of criminal law that the punishment should not be .disproportionate to the offense.-- But here we see the African slave trade, n legal traffic, counlenanced by the sacre ed Constitution of Government itself, inslan- taneously declared a felony. This is without precedent What does this prove? Merely that the law is an insult to the South, who claims slavery as her dearest institution, and pronounces the bondage of the negro as not only right but phi. lanthropic.
 The South looks upon her slaves as property in precisely the same sense as her horses, or even any inanimaie personal property. Will the South then permit herself longer to be dishonored by sub hitting to law which denounces the traffic in that property as crime? Will she idly allow her most cherished institu- ton to continue abstIacted from ali other institutions for the purpose of being in- suited and branded as an infamous felony?
 To purchase slaves in Virginia is cer- tainly as great crime in morals as to purchase slaves in Africa; and if one be right the other must certainly be. Bnl slaves purchased from Virginia are taken from as good masters there as they are taken to further South. But the slaves purchased from the African coast are taken from savage masters, who brand them, torture them, and at pleasure kill
 them; from masters of their own color
 the most brutal on earth; from such mas.
 ters they are purchased and brought ,t this country to masters who will take care
 of them. elolhe them. feed them, and pu
 them inreach of the gospel influence. =
 Iherefore, to purchase slaves from the
 coast of Africa is more phiianthropic, ant
 of more benefit to themselves, than tC purchase them from Virginia. Therefore
 also, the law making the African slave trade piracy should be repealed.
 I When the Congressional law shall bs lrepealed, it may then become question among individual States whether more slaves are needed or desirable. Missis
 sippi may think she has sufficien, mum.
 Der to cultivate her lands, and that more
 would iniure her interests. Then let Mis-
 sissIppi pass law prohibiting the intro , duciion of more slaves into her border:
