Mr.. stanton felt IL his dufy b say for himself
and those he represchted, thkt so far As Helpers
book advises servile ihsufrcaion, he utterly ab-
horred and detestedit
Mr.. Bonham said the act Of 1920, which cha
racterized The slave trade as piracy, was a blot
on the statute book and ought 10 be expunged,
but he knew OF no party in the South In favor
OF having the law Of 1873 repealed. With re-
gard to the latter he was not prepared to say it
was unconstitutional . There Is 30 considerable
part Of the Democratic party South who agitate
the question of the re-opeuing of the slave trade
Ii can never be done In the confederacy. As to
whether he was in favor of re-openiAg the slays
trade at some future time he was not prepared
to say,.--s-.,.-s-s.z.s-.-
Lr. Fansworth-Doe the gentleman endorse
the sentiments in the book Black Diamonds for
a revival of the slave trade by laws
Mr.. Bonham-It is impracticable. 1 don not
stand in the attitude of one who endorsed viola
ting any existing law.
Mr.. Farnsworth asked Mr. sMcRae whether hs
endorsed these sentiments.
Mr.. McRae, as an individual, was in favor of
the re-opening of the slave trade, but this was
not the position of the Democratic party in Mis-
sissippi or any other Southern State. He was
moreover for the faithful execution of the laws
as they stand against opening that trafic. =
Mr.. Farnsworth did not think such desi4ns
could be fixed on the National Democracy any
more than it could be Justly charged that the
Republicans endorsed the acts of John Brown
Mr.. McRae believed that he was the only
member ofthe Democratic party from Mississip-
pi who believed in that opinion. SKI
Mr.. Farnsworth asked Mr.. Crawford whether
lo a 81, Il.
recommended IN Black Diamond
Mr.. Crawford replied that he never read the
book.
Mr.. Sawyer said he always was opposed to
the re-opening of the African slave trade He
was in the Senate when Mr. Seward announced
the doctrine that had such startling effect on the
South, that as soon as this Administration shall
pass away, the abolitionists would get control to
overthrow Southern institutions and remodel
| the Supreme Court so thar its decisions should
! be against the interests of the South Mr. Sc
ward said he expected in his lifetime that there
would not be single foot of slavery on the con-
tinent. and while he uttered this as his deliber-
ate opinion, his form dilated, and his pale face
was expressive of bad. malignant passion. and
his eyes glowed as If the fire of hell was burn
ing in his heart.
Mr.. Farnsworth earnestly God grant that
| too may see the day when the foot Of q slayewill
not rest on the continent.
/ Mr.. Bonham-You'll never see it.
Mr.. Farnsworth asked Southern gentlemen if
they were willing to turn out to chase fugitive
slave. He understood that in that part of ILL
nois called Egypt people catch blackmen, and
instead of advertising them as ran away, they
