Mr. Stewnrf. (adm.i of Md.. said if it was nee
eessary. in carrying out the act of 1819, to stipu
late for their odaeutloif and support, no objection
could fw* lundc to tin; contract entered into by the
Provident. The North mode war on the President
for enfm-’ fng the Fugitive Slave law, and if the ,
hwH'litit enforces the law for the suppreraion of

war opposed to thi* uttraism.

Sftn. said that Southern gentlemen had merely
jn-otosiod agaiost this government, full psountetl
on an anti slavery svntimunl, riding down the re
rtrictions of law. The President liatl no right to
make a contract for the support and maintenunan
of the negroes of the Kciio. The charity of this
’ government lias Ixwm prostituted to uphoblittg the
ColOnhtation society, which sprung up from a
■purious sentimentality in a single night, and
which receives its sapport from old maids and di
lapidated politicians, who colonise negroes,from a
maudlin humanity. This ir what the President
has done.
Mr. Hun ham, (adm.j us S. L'., proposed and ad

Fducailug Africans FAdtliig Debate
It will Ik* rrtiieinlcfcd by our readers that some
time sinco the Slaver Echo was seized oil the
ooaat o| I'ubaWith a cargo of captured Africans
aud was brought U> the port of Plmrlcstou, S.
I'udar tho second section of the aef of fBl t it
was made tlie duty of the President to return
these Africans and deliver them to some ugcut
hcyoml tho limits of the United States.
The act reads as follow
" Awe/ In it further enacted, That tin* President

i/ed to make such regulations and arrangeiiieiits

United States armed vessels.’’
In compliance with this authority Mr. Ruch
anan sent the negroes to Liberia, making a eon
tract with the Coloiiiz.ittion Society to receive tlu-m
aud also to instruct them in the arts of civilized
life. We quote lYoin the President's .Message that,
portion which explains this contract. If'readsr--
follows :
j Under these circumstances an agreement vva<
entered into with the Colonization SoCiaiy on the
7th of September last, a copy of which is here
with transmitted, under which the society engag
ed, lor the consideration of $15,0011, to receive
these Africans iu Liberia from the agent ut the
United States, and furnish them during the parted
of one year thereafter, with comfortable shelter,
clothing, provisions, and medical attendance, and
cause their children to receive schooling, and all,
whether children or adults, to he in*hm ted in (he
artn of civilised life, satiable to their eondi
tinn.”
lu the Consular and Diplomatic hill, a provision
was engrafted authorizing the I'rcsident to list*
the sum of $75.U08 tor tlic suppression of the slave
trade; $30,000 of which vvns to pay the con
tract of the I’rcsident with the Unionization ibici*
ety to educate the returned Albicans for the peri
od of one year. Southern men and especially the
strict constructionist* were led tn inquire, if the
appropriation of $30,000 did nut contemplate the
execution of a power for which there was nosmu
liou iu law. Hon. Mr. DOWDELL ot Ain., led
off iu a speech of much force, and was I'ollnyvi •!
by our immediate Representative Mr. (.'RAW
FOltl), denying the authority <>t the Frcshleut to
educate the Africans ami pronouncing it a Usiir
putiou of power. We agree with Hicnl fully in
tin'ir eon#tiuction of tin* above act. By refer
cnee to it. it will Go seen that it empowers the
President to utukuprovision lor the “sale keeping
and support” of the captured negroes u thm tin
limitm of the f nited Statm ami for flieir “remo
val” bey aud-Mich limits. Tin rc is no authority
■>r shadow of authority lor him lo do anything
more than to appoint an agent or agents to “rc
reive” the negroes and after such appointment
and delivery, the authority of the President cease#.
Any other construction n| the act is forced and
contrary t its spirit and tin very genius of our ,
tiovcriiinciit.
What ! must the United States he converted in
to a provision Store to “support” captured Af
ricans after their return to their native soil'.’ Must
it resolve itself into a Missionary Society to edu
cate them in the “arts of civilized life” beyond the
jurisdiction of the United States 't That too when
the (lovernmunt Inis no power to odilnuto her
own poor children or the negroes within her liin
its at the public cxpuitOff? Must tlje Government
continue t• • keep up the Colonization Society,
which, after thirty year# experiment, demonstrates
conclusively, that the negro is incapable ~f self
government!’ Mast a sentimental abstraction or
a pseudo philanthropy lu* a sufficient justification
■>f a usurpation of authority f But it is contend
ed that the President only supports tin- Africans
lor one year. We have no objection t>> the piti
ful sum taken from the Treasury for this purpose,
hut thu right to educate negroes for one year iin
plies tin right to educate them for a thousand.-
Tim lutif ndiHoua const met mu of the law by (he
President is wimi is obnoxious to objection. The
support of the Africans within the United Btah
and the expense* inclined in sending them hack
no one objects to, when the statute require# it.—
But the right once yielded by the minority see
lion, that the P reunion I or a majority in Congress
can exercise authority not expressly granted in the
Constitution or written in (be statoia hook* thru
that minority has no guarantee against a de*pol
iKin as ilaiigorous and Intolerable ns chi) be point

the South will liavg no refuge from oppression, no
hope for seuuri'y, hut in huuifdy kneeling and
supplicating mercy. And cun*he expect model

Theu, let tlie South (oppose .every exercise of

The action of the Deiiiuerutie Senatorial euu

ceirc the approbation of every Southern nut*
der. Simm the South—bueiiuso sliu ia, almost

which those burdens may ho diminished must in
ure. in a corresponding ratio to her advantage.—
All extravagance, whether by individuals or gov

ting tariff, and to coniine, us far as they may, the :
cxpondilurcH of tho government to its iiiuoma.
The pretext upon which the protectionist# now
urge uiuodiliculiou of the tariff is consistout with
the plan of operation and tho system of iogiu
which they have employed lor tho last forty years. *
Thuir fundamental dogma is, that the prosperity
