about two weeks use of your Salve, I am, so far 1
can judge, a well-man.

ment upon the propriety of your grant
or refusing the application.
The questian is an important one, and
have delayed an answer to your let
ter until I could give the subjects proper
examination.
The form in which this application il
presented, involves the question in some
embarrassment. The object of the ap
plicants tnust be either to import Afri- -
cane to be disposed of as slaves, or to be
bound to labor or service, or else to
brir g them into the country like other
emigrants, to bo entitled oh their arrival
to all tbe rights and privleges of free
men. In either of the two first nuned
contingencies, the object would bo s6
clearly aud manifestly against the laws
of the United Slates, as to leave no
room for doubt or hesitation. I deem it
proper, however, to call your attention
to the provision's of those laws, as “they
indicate very clearly the general policy
of the Government on the - subject of
African importation.
* Prior to the 1st January; 1808, tho
time fixed by the Constitution when
Congress would he authorised to pro
hibit such importation, tbe acts of 2d
March, 1794, (1,347.) and 10th May;
: 8Q0 (270,) wCre passed. These lawk
indicate the strong opposition felt at that
time to the African slave trade. The
subsequent act of 2d March, 1807, (2,-
426.) and 20th April, 1818 (3,450,) as
well as the acts of 3d March, 1819 (3,- *
532, and 15th May, 1820 (3,600,) show
not only the promptness with which thA
power was exercised by Congress of pro
hibiting this trade to the United States;
but they also bear evidence of the stem
purpose of enforcing their provisions by
severe penalties and large expenditures.
The legislation of tho slaveholding States
prior to 1868, exhibits fite fact'tbat the
first steps taken for its suppression were
inaugurated by them. -; ^ ^:
There is no suhjeot upon whicli tho
Btuluto books of our country afford mord
conclusive cadence than tho general
opposition -everywhere felt to the cofi-
tinnance of {bp African slave trade. -
By reference to the aots of 1794 and
1800 against the slave trade generally,
it will bo seen that- their operation was
confined to slaves eo nomine. The firtc
section of the act 1794 provides, “That
no - citizen or "citizens of the United
States, or foreigner, or oily other per
son coming into or residing within the
same, shall, for himself, or any other*
person whatsoever, either as master,
factor or owner,' build; fit, equip, load,
