THUS tie sovereign State Of South Carolina
Disposed Of the sovereign State Of Massachusetts,
through her representative, BY ssirtually kicking
her of the premises. The retalistory NEE sare
Of Massachusetts, has been to come to the con.
clusion that system which thus defes the righ.s
of a sister State, and refuses TO recognize the
power of the Supreme Court Of tas United
States, had better not, for tbs good Of all coz
cerned be permitted to extend lite dominion over
the Territories. But South Carolina did NJ.
stop there. Her Legislature immediately passed
on act by which it is provided that any person
coming into the State on bis own behalf, or on
behalf of any State TO disturb the laws in rela.
ton to colored persons, bond or free, shall be
held to be guilty Of misdemeanor BIO imprisoned

than one year; ard for the second oliense BY
Imprisonment for seven years, aud fine OF 9

e.ca,ed to the North-shal 60 there to redeem
him from Slavery, not only Is it held that be has
10 tights which the State is bound to respect
but be is fined and imprisoned for venturing to
assert them. The Personal---very. bills of the
Northern States have never freed u slave; but
every Northern vessel that enters the Port VI
Charleston with a coored man on board is CON-
peed to surrender him to imprisonment so long
as SIZE remains; aud not only has this Northern
citizen-a freeman, and citizen. though black-no
redress for this gross injustice, but to attempt
his redemption, should the captain choose, for any
reason, to leave him behind, is penal oHense
tor which there is no remedy. When, in the
course of compromising, We come to the consider.
uti,n Of bills enacted merely to prevent kdnap-
ping, let Us venture at the same time to inquire
ior laws created to make kidnapping easy.
