UNPUBLISHED SONG BY BURNS.
ihe following, addressed by Robert Burns
to Miss Jane Jeffrey, daughter of the parish
pastor of Lochtnahon, Scotland, is said to have
appeared in no published collection of the i<o
et’s works. It is very pretty, and, whether |
authentic or not, has the appearance of being
so:
When first I saw my Jennie’s face,
I could na think what ailed me ;
My heart went Buttering pit a pat.
My een had nearly failed me.
She's ae sae neat, and trim, and tight,
All grace does round her hover;
Ae look deprived me o’ my heart.
And I became her lover.
She's ae, ae sae blithe and gay.
She’s ac sae blithe and cheery
She's ae sae bonny, blitlie and gay,
O, gin 1 were her dearie I
Q had I Dundas, whole estate.
Or Hopt ouu’s pride to shine in.
l>i«i warlike honors crown my fate,
Or softer bays entwine in.
I’d (lay them a’ at Jeanie’s feet,
Could I but hope to move her.
And prouder than a jiecr or knight,
I’d be my Jeanie's lover.
She’s ac, ae sae blithe and gay, <tc.
But sair 1 doubt some happier swain,
Has gained my Jeanie's favor ;
If sac may ev’ry bliss be hers,
Though 1 can never have her!
But gang slie east or gang site west,
’Twix Nith and Tweed, all over.
While men have ears, or eyes, or taste.
She’ll always find a lover.
She’s ae, ae sae blithe and gay, Ac.
AFRICAN EMIGRATION
Letter of Secretary Cobb to the Collector of
Customsut Charleston, S. C.
Tnt*srnv llkpmjtmenv. May 12, 1858.
Sir: — It, appears from your letter ot 20th
April, 1858, that applications Im re been made
to you by Messrs K Lafitte <fc Co,, inerehanU
of Charleston, S. C., "’to clear the American
ship Richard UoWen, 11. F. Black, master,
burthen 750 21-85 tons, for the const of Afri
ca, for the purpose of taking on Ihku'i! African
•-migrants, in accordance with tho United
States passenger laws, and returning with the
same to a port in the United State-."
You ask the opinion of the Department upon
the propriety of your granting or refusing tlie
application.
Hie question is an important one, and I lm\e
delayed an answer to your letter until 1 could i
give’ the subject a pr<qu-r examination.
The form in which this application is pr, ,
sauted involves the question in some elubar- 1
r.issment. The object of the applicants must
be either to import Africans to be disposed of
as slaves, or to be bound to lalmr or service—
or else to bring them into the country like oth
er emigrants, to lie entitled, on their arrival,
to all the rights and privileges of freemen. '
In either ot the two first mimed contingencies. 1
the object would lie so clearly and manifest!.'
against the laws of the United States, ns to I
L ave no room for doubt or hesitation. I deem
it proper, however, to call your attention to
the provisions of those laws, as they indicate ,
very clearly the general policy of the govern-',
meiit on the subject of African importation.
I’ryor to the Ist of January, 1808, the time ;
fixed by the Constitution when Congress would |
be authorized to prohibit such importation ,
—the Act of 2d March. 17U4, (1,317.) and lotii ■
May, 1800, (270.) were passed. These laws
indicate the strong opposition felt at that time
to the African slave trade. The subsequent
Act of March 2d. 1807, (2.42t1.) and 20th
April, 1818, (3,450,) as well as the Acts of 3d
March, 1810, (3,532.) and 15th May, 1820, (3,- j
•lot),) show not only the promptness with which
the power was exero'sed by Congress of pro- 1
hibitiug this trade to the United States, but
they also bear evidence of the stern purpose of ,
enforcing their provisions by severe penalties
ami large expenditures. The legislation of the
slaveholding States prior to 180 K, exhibits the
fact that tho first steps taken for its suppres
sion were inaugurated by them.
There is uo subject upon which the statute,
books of our country afford more conclusive
evidence than the general opposition every- ,
where felt to the continuance of the African ,
slave trade.
By reference to the acts of 1794 and 1800, '
against the slave trade generally, it will be
seen that their operation was confined to afar<»J
co nomine. The first section of the act of 1 jtjtt
provides, “ That no citizen or citizens
United States, or foreigner, or any other per
son coming into or residing within the same,
shall, for himself or any other persot. whatev
er, either as master, factor or owner, build, fit,
equip, load or otherwise prepare any ship or
vessel, within any port or place of the said
U. States, nor shall cause any ship or vessel to
sail from auy port or place within the same,
for the purpose of carrying on any trade or
traftc in alateji, to any foreign country ; or for
the purpose of procuring, from any foreign
kingdom, place or country, the in habitants of
such kingdom, place or country, to be trans
ported to any foreign country, port or place
whatever, to be sold or disposed of, <i» alaret;
ami if any ship or vessel shall be so fitted out.
as aforesaid, for the said purpose*, or shall be
caused to sail, ns aforesaid, every snch ship
or vessel, her tackle, furniture, apparel ami oth
er appurtenances, shall be forfeited to the V.
States, and shall be liable to be seized, prose
cuted mid condemned in auy of the Circuit
Courts, or District Court fortlie District where
the said ship or vessel may be found and seiz
ed.”
The language of the Act of 1800 is the same
in this respect. Both contemplate in general
terms the prevention of the trade inflates.—
When, however, in 1807, mid subsequent there
to, Congress undertook to prevent the impor
tation of slaves into the United States, the lan
guage of the law was made more stringent mid
eompreheiisive. The first section of the Act of
1807 provides, “That from and after the first
day of January, one thousand eight hundred
and eight, it shall not be lawful to import or
bring into the United States, or the Territo
ries thereof, from any foreign kingdom, place
or country, any negro, mulatto, or person of
color, with intent to hold, sell or dispose of
such negro, mulatto, or person of color, as a
slave, or to be held in terr ire or labor."
This law seeks nbt only to prevent the in
troduetion into tliuUnitedStatesof slaves from
Africa, but, any negro, mulatto or person of col
or, whether introduced as slaves, or to be held
to service or lai>or. Whether or not the wis.
'"Hr'' ■
fate Tiress.
doin of our fathers foresaw at that early day
that efforts would be made under a pretended
apprentice system to renew the slave trade tin
der another name, 1 cannot undertake to sav,
j but the huigungu of the law which they have
' left to us in the statute book, leaves no doubt
I nt the fact that they intended to provide in the
most unequivocal manner against the increase
of that class of population by immigration from
Africa. No one could then have contemplat
ed an object for which African emigrants would
be brought to this country, which is not dear
ly guarded against mid forbidden by the law to
which lam now referring. It is only uecessa
to add, that subsequent acts on the subject con
tain the same language. This view of the sub
ject is strengthened by reference to the provis
ions of the net of 28th February, 18(13, (2,205.)
The first section of that act is as follows
“That from and after the first day of April
next, no master or captain of any ship or ves
sel, or any other person, shall import, bring, or
cause to be imported or brought, any negro,
mulatto, or other jierson of color, not being a
native, a citizen, or registered seaman of the
I nited States, or seamen natives of countries
lieymid the Cape of Good lliqie, into any port
or place ot the United States, which by l.liv
has prohibited the admission or importation of
such negro, mulatto, or other person of coloi ; i
and if any captain or master aforesaid, or any ■
other person, shall import, orcause to be im
ported or brought into any of the ports or
places aforesaid, any of the persons whose a I
mission or importation is prohibited as afore
said, he shall forfeit and pay the sum of one
thousand dollars for each and every negro, mu
latto, or other person of color, aforesaid, to be
sued for and recovered by action of debt, in
any Court of the United .States, one half there
of to the United States, the other half to any
person or persons prosecuting for the penalty ;
ami in any action instituted for the recovery
of the penalty aforesaid, the jierson or persons
sued may be held to special bail. I‘rorided
altraya, that nothing in this Act shall lie
construes] to prohibit the admission of In
dians.”
It will lie seen that Congress, by this Act,
undertook to co operate with those States,
which, by State legislation, had interposed to
prevent the importation of negroes into this
country. At that time the constitutional pro
hibition to which I ha\e before referred, re
strained Congress from the exercise of the ab
solute power of prohibiting smh importation.
The States, however, being under no snch re
straint, had. in several instances, adopted
measures of their own; and the Act of 1803
aliens the promptness of the general govern
ment in exercising whatever power it possessed
in furtherance of the object.
The language of this Act is important in
another view. It will be observed that its ob
ject is to prevent the importation of “ any ne
gro. mulatto, or other person of color, not be
ing a native, a citizen, or registered seaman of
the United States, or seamen natives of coun
tries beyond the Cape of Good Ho|ie.” It is
not confined to slaves or negroes bound to la
bor, but contemplates the exclusion, in the
broadest terms, <4 all sm h persons, without
regard to the character in which they may be
brought It excludes free persons, as well as
slaves ami persons bound tw labor and service.
The only limitation in the Act is, that it is eon
lined to such persons as are prevented by tho
laws of any ot the States from being imported
into sitcli States.
At that time there existed laws ot some of
the Slates, not only prohibiting the introduction
of negro slaves, but also free negroes. Indeed,
the policy of the slaveholding States has al
ways la-eu opposed to the increase of its free
negro population ; and it is proper here to re
mark that at the present time that jailicy is
more earnestly sustained in those States than
at any previous period of their history. After
this reference to the laws on the subject, it is
hardly necessary to reju-at, that if the applica
tion of Messrs. Latitte .V Co., contemplates the
introduction of negroes into the United States
from Africa, either in the character of slaves,
or as apprentices bound to sen ice or labor, it is
clearly in violation of both the letter and spir
it of the law and cannot be granted.
1 he torm of the application made by Messrs.
Lafitte & Co., would seem to contemplate the
introduction into the United States ot negroes
from Africa, entitled on their arrival to all the
rights and privileges of freemen. The propo
sition upon its face is so absurd, that it is hard
ly worthy of serious refutation. Messrs. La
titte <t Co., ask us to believe that their vessel,
fitted out in the port of Charleston, S. is
going upon a voyage to Africa to bring to some
port in the United States a cargo of free ne
groes. The port to which tho vessel expects
to return is not indicated. It cannot be the
one from which it sails nor any other port in
the State of South Carolina—iu> the introduc
tion of free negroes into that State is wisely
prohibited by stringent laws and heavy penal
ties. It cannot la - the port of auy other slave
holding State, as similar laws in each of those
States alike forbid it. Thu reason tor sueli
laws is so manifest, that 1 do not feel called up
on either to produce the evidence of their ex
istence, or to justify the policy which led to
their adoption. It is intiicieut to know that
the public mind of that section of the Union is
■lot more cordially agreed upon any one subject,
itipon the propriety and necessity of prohibit
ing. ns far as possible, an increase of the free
negro population, and hence the laws to
which 1 refer, prohil'itiogtlieirini[a>rtation from
any place.
Can it be that Messrs. Lafitte & Co. propose
to return with their cargo of free negroes to a
port in some of the non-slaveholding States ?
1 am not aware of a single State where these
new comers would receive a tolerant, much
less a cordial welcome; whilst by stringent
laws and constitutional provisions, some of
them have provided for the unconditional ex
clusion.
Looking beyond the legislation which has
been had on the subject by the general govern
ment, and both the slaveholding and the non
slaveholding States, 1 may be permitted to re
fer, i« this connection, to the various repeated
and earnest efforts which have been made in
every section ot the Union, to provide for the
removal from our midst of this most unfortu
I mite class. However variant the motives
which have induced these effort* with differ
ent persons in different sections of the country,
they all exhibit an earnest desire to diminish
rather than increase the free negro population.
This public opinion, thus manifested in every
form, is familiar to every one, and it would be
doing great injustice to the intelligence of
Messrs. Lafitte & Co., to suppose that they
j alone were ignorant of it. Where, then, do
' they propose to land their cargo of free ne
groes ( What is the motive which induces
the enterprise ? It cannot be the profits of the
voyage. There are uo African emigrants seek
ing a passage to this country; and if there
were, they have no means of remunerating
Messrs. Lafitte & Co. for bringing them.
The motive cannot be mere philanthropy,
for it would confer no benefit upon these ue
■ groes to bring them to our shores, where, if
permitted to land at all, it would only be to
occupy our pest houses, hospitals, and prisons.
To believe, uuder the circumstances, that there
is a bona fide purpose on tho part of Lafitte &
Co., to bring African emigrants to this coun
try to eiyoy the rights am! privileges of free-
MACON, GEORGIA, Till USUAL JUNE 10. 1858,
men, would require an amount of credulity
that would justly subject the person bo believ
ing to the charge of mental imbecility. The
conviction is iri-esintible, that the object of the
proposed enterprise is to bring these “Afri
can emigrants” in the country, with the view
either of making slaves of them, or of holding
them to service or labor. If so, it is an at
tempt to evade the laws of this country on the
subject of African importation, to which 1 have
called yonr attention.
Ordinarily it would be an unsafe rule for a
public officer to act upon the suspicion of a
purpose on the part of another to violate the
laws of the country, but in this case, it is put
so clearly beyond the rench of doubt, that I
think that you not only can, but that you are
in duty bound to act upon the presumption,
that it is the intention of MeHsru. 1-alitto A
Co. to evade the laws of the United States, and
you should accordingly refuse their vessel the
clearance asked for.
I am, very respectfullv,

SUIT FOR THE RECOVERY OF A CHILD.
1 he Cleveland (Tenn.) Banner of Friday last
says: —On Saturday last our town was the
scene of a very novel and exciting law suit,
about a girl child two years of age. As there
was considerable feeling about it among a por
tion of onr population, we have, at the sug
gestion of some friends, concluded to give the
facts as elicite<l before the court, mid the re
sult of the same, omitting names through cour
tesy to the iiarlies, as we think very highly of
both of them. The suit was between a hus
band and wife, who, from cause not developed
upon trial, separated in the State of Alabama,
as to which was entitled to the child. It wan
proven that both parties were worth thirty
thousand dollars each—that their characters
were irreproachable—kind and affectionate to
the child (the only issue) —that the father had
restrained the child in Alabama from the so
ciety of its mother —tiiat in January hist the
father look the child and left Alabama and came
to East Tennessee, where he has remained ev
er since—that during that time the mother
sought every means to find out where the
child was and only sneceded a few days be
fore.
Tho child was brought up before Judge Gant
under :i writ of habeas corpus—the Hon. G.
W. Rowels for the husband, and Hon. Jno. 11.
Crozier for the wife—the facts above were
elicited, when the case was argued at length
by the counsel —autliorities referred to- and
we must say that we never heard a case argued
with more ability than was displayed on this
oi’easioii —it was Greek against Greek, but a
woman was in one side of the scale and it turn
ed the tide of war -by the time the argument
was closed the multitude had warmed up -the
sympathy of the crowd had flowed to the wo
man—suspense and anxiety were on tiptoe--
various opinions were exchanged as to who
would get the “baby” lawyers differed and
the thing was in uncertainty, but Judge Gant
settled the question. After recapitulating the
points made in arguing the case, examining the
evident e. and looking to the claims ot both pa
rents its tender age- its mother having been
deprived of its society, decitied that she -bolihl
take it to the State of Alabama, where her
home was. ami where it was born, ami there
if the parties were not satisfied -the matter
could be adjudicated by the laivsofth.it State.
We are riot much of a Judge but we think this
was a righteous decision, although it was a del
icate one. To make the matter short the wo
man lias got the baby and gone home- the ex
eitenicnt has died {away in Cleveland, ami ev
ery thing is going on ;is quietly as it there nev
er had been a baby in it. Hope it w ill remain
