Ministers of the Gospel should feel deeply in

S. While faroring the importation of Africans

admits, by implication, that the South has now
enough slaves to carry the institution over four
more Southern States, viz: those that many bo
formed out of Texas.
And il so, tho natural corrollary would seem to
