content: An issue of Niles' Weekly Register, Fourth series. No. 3--Vol. XIII, published in Baltimore in black ink on white paper. On page 39, under the heading [INTERESTING ARTICLES] is commentary from the Charleston Patriot regarding Virginia's role as a "breeder of slaves for a great part of the union," suggesting that sales of enslaved persons from Virginia should be taxed as any commodity.
