PROHIBITION.
In the discussion of the Con*iti u,, '*>nality ol the
Act* of Congress prohibiting ,l,e foreign Slave
Trade, I have not had the opportunity of consult
ing the debates in the Federal Convention, nor
the view* of any political writer in relation to the
construoiion of those clause* of the Constitution
involving the question under consideration; conse
quently in the preceding numbers, 1 have only pro,
aented the deduction* of my own mind formed up
on a careful examination of that instrument,
friend, however, lias just placed in my hands, Cur
tis’ History of the Constitntion of the United States,
in which I am happy to find that the construction
given by me to the clauses of the Constitution in dis
pute, is fblly sustained. In the 10th chap, of the
id vol. of this distinguished work, is to bo found an
elaborate statement of the reasons which induced
• the Convention that framed the Constitulion, to
adopt the first clause of the nth Sec., and that it
was treated as a limitation on tbe commercial pow
er granted to Congress by the Sd clause of the 8th
Section of the Constitution. Ur. Curtis, on page
80S to 806, inclusive, states, “Tbe Northern States
wished for a full commercial power, including the
slave trade and navigation laws, to lie dependent
on the voice of a majority in Congress. Tbe South
ern Slates struggled to retain the right to import
slaves, and to limit tbe enactment of navigation
laws to a vote of two-thirds. Both parties could
lie gratified only by concedingsonio portion of their
respective demands. If tho Northern States would
accept of a future, instead of an immediate prehibi-
^ lion of the slave trade, they could gain ultimately,
a ful> commercial power over all subjects to be ex
ercised by a national majority. If the Southern
Suites could confide in a national majority, so far
us to clothe them with full ultimate power to reg.
ulate commerce, they could obtain tho continuance
of the slave trade for a limited period. Such was
lu ■ entity, lUc adjuetuicul umile and icmMnnwmded
by tho Committee. They proposed that tho mi
gration or importation of such persons as the seve
ral States then existing, might think proper to ad
mit, should not be prohibited by the national legis
lature before the year 1800, but that a tax or duty
might be imposed on such person* at a rate note's-
. eecding the duties laid ou imports; that the clause
relating to a capitation tax, should remain, and
that the provision requiring a navigation act to lie
passed by a vote of two-thirds, should be stricken
out. No change was made in this arrangement
when it came before the Convention, except to sub
stitute the year 1808, os the period when the re
striction on the commercial power was to termi
ii'.te, and to provide for a specific tax on the im
portation of slaves, r.ot exceeding ten dollars on
each person. The remaining features of this set
tlement relating to a capitation nnd navigation act,
were sanctioned by a large majority of the States.
Tims, by timely and well considered concessions
on each side, was tbe slave trade brought immedi
ately within the revenue power of the federal gov
ernment, and also at the expiration of twenty years,
leithiu its jiower to regulate commerce, JJv the same
ni^mfiporarv toler
ation of the importation of slaves, was vested in a
national majority. This result at once placed the
foreign slave trade by American vessels or citizen*,
within the control of the national legislature, and
enabled Congress to forbid the carrying of slave
to foreign countries, and at tno end of the year
1608, brought the whole .raffle within ihe reach ol
a national prohibition. Too high an estimate can
not well lie formed of the importance nnd value o!
this /iKo/ settlement of conflicting .sectional inter
ests au.) demands. History has to thank the patri
otism and liberality of the Northern States for hav-
ing acquired for the Government of the Union, bv
reasonable concession*, the power to terminate the
African slave trade. The just and candid voice of
History has also to thank the Southern statesmen
who consented to lids arrangement, for having
c.othed the two Houses of Congress with » f„j|
commercial power!”
These copious extracts from Mr. Curtis’ history
fully “ustaln the positions assumed in the preceding
numbers:
1st. That under the general grant of power to
< ongresH to “reguhite commerce’’ contained in the
sth See., 1st Art. of the Constitution, Congress was
clothed with authority to pass laws to prohibit tbe
African slave trade without an amendment to the
Constitution.
-dly. That See. tub of the 1st Art. was a liuiita.
lion as to I,me on the exercise of this general com-
niercial power, and by ueceawu-y and unavoidable
implication conferred upon Congress, after the year
IM'K, the power to iuterpoto and i.rre.st the traffic
in slaves exported directly from Africa!
These extracts further show that the surrender
°, n * States to CongreiM of the exclo-
sit e power of legislation on the subject of the AM
can slate trade, mad the remit of a compromise be
tween the Non hem and Southern States; the South
agreeing, on her part, to aurrendcr the provision
contained in the draft of the Constitution as origi
nally reported, vix: that a “navigation act should
require a vote of two-thirds of both brandies of tho
Legislature,’’ and in consideration of such surren
der, the. North consented that after the year 1808
Congress might, In the exercise of the commercial
Jiower, pass laws to prohibit tbe African siave trade.
Here, then, was a bargain struck between (lie two
section* of tbe Union—a bargain founded upon ad
equate consideration, and acquiesced in by tbe jvir-
lies to it for tho last fifty yean. This slave trade
compromise was carried in the Convention by a
vole of seven States to four. North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia voting for the Compromise.
Sec notes to Curtis’ History, vol. 2, p. .”.05. And
yet Hauijwlen would repudiate this solemn comjiact,
and deny to Congress the power to pass laws pro
hibiting tbe foreign slave trade! The slave States
will not be so dt^iist to themselves—so unjust to
their distinguished statesmen—their Rutledges,
Jacksons and Madisons, as to violate their plighted
faith to the'otber section of the Union. I cannot
persuade myself cither, that the South will adopt
the crude notions of a writer who seeks to pervert
the meaning of tbe plainest clauses in the Constitu
tion, mid who c»ir see nothing in that sacred in
struinent but “ Gorgons, Hydras, and Chimera*
dire!!" Fcrhap* Hampden's intemperate zeal for
Slate Rights—hi* known contempt for tbe compro*
mises of the Constitulion, and those entered into
between the North nnd Fouth, in tbe jwst legisla
tion of Congress, and the reseutment lelt by him
at the fancied humiliating pc si lion of tbe South at
this moment, have brought a cloud over his
mind, and for the moment darkened the horixon of
his understanding. That a writer of Hampden’s
discernment and intelligence, can seriously dispute
tho cotistituiionality of the acts ot Congress, pro
hibiting the African slave trade, is a proportion
that I ant not yet prepared to subscribe to. Ho is
too sound a constitutional lawyer, seriously to undo-
tain so untenable po.-iiiou. Hampden’s reasoning
-.nil policy would appy with peculiar force to the
donn-stio slave trade, that is, tin- trade carried on
u .lux., 'jctween the differentsUvcboldiagStates.
St iles, hss never been held to extend further than
ths prohibition on the part of Congress against the
States, “laying any duties or imposts on imports or
exports.” Congress hss never claimed, nor can it
exercise, the power to interfere with or regulate the
internal commerce between the several States in
slaves, or any other commodity. In the case of the
District of Columbia, Congress interfered wf»h the
question of slavery, so far as to declar^ “ that a
slave carried into tho District of Columbia for the
purpose. of tale," should be declared free. The pas
sage of this act by Congress, *« defended by its
friends on the grant of P«" er contained in the
Sth Section of the Constitution, by which it is
declared “that Caagnm ¥h#11 «erche exclusive
legislation in all c» Ke * whatever over such dis
trict." Me. Jefferson, treating of the clause of
tbe constitution under consideration, which de-
cUres “that Congress* shall have power to rcgulstc
commerce with foreign nations and among the
8ta*-*s, and with the Indian tribes,” lays this down
as the true ruic of construction: “ For the power
(be says) given to Congress by this article, doe*
not extend to tlic internal regulation of the com
merce of a State, (that is to say of the commerce
between citizen and citizen) which remains exclu
sively with its own legislatures, but to its external
commerce only, that is to say, to its commerce with
another State, or with foreign nations, or with the
Indian tribes." “See Randolph's writings of Thom
as Jefferson, vol. 4th, page 624. The domestic
slave trade, then, docs not, like the foreign slave
trade, full within the commercial power conferred
upon Congress under this clause of the Constitu
tion, and no degree of ingenuity can bring it with
in it. The States have not then surrendered to
the General Government the right to interfere with
slavery, or the domestic slave trade within their
limits. A few words more as to the constitution
ality of these acts of Congress prohibiting the slave
trade, and I will dismiss this branch of the subject.
Hampden says they are unconstitutional, but what
clause of the Constitution arc they repugnant to ?
An net of Congress to be unconstitutional, must lie
repugnant to some provision in the Constitution.
Will Hampden point out the particular clause ol
the Constitution that these acts are contrary or re'
pugnant to? Failing to do this, will he have the
candor to acknowledge that his position is untena

until our worthy host and “ heaviest specula

glad of an opportunity to kill time in such an
agreeable manner. The family of our host con

walls of the school-room before we had even

he appeared dressed in the ancient Georgia uni

lizer of the 16th Inst., speakiug on this very sub- wended our way through a dense thicket of
joct said: '‘although the Constitution by its letter
may have jicrmitted such a law to be passed, (the
act of 1820,) yet it did not make it a duty to pass
such a law.” The frank and talented Yancey oppo
ses these acts, then, not oil the ground that tlu-v
are unconstitutional, but because, as he says in the
same speech, “they have unjustly restricted the in
crease of the black labor of the South.” There is
sonic plausibility and point, ntfeast, in Mr. Yancey’s
argument, while bis lucid mind sees ii. these acts
no violation of the Constitution.
But there are other lights in which the fallacy of
Hampden's jiosition, that the State* did not intend
to surrender their original control over this subject
of tbe foreign siave trade, will manifestly apjiear.—
The adoption oftiie Constitution oftlie United States
had no sooner taken place, than tlic States them
selves, Georgia among the number, inscrtedaclau.se
in the Constitution of each, prohibiting their citizens
front carrying on tbe foreign slave trade, and for
bidding the landing of slaves (African) within their
limits. Tlic legislature of Georgia also expressly
recog”ized tbe validity of the acts of Congress
passed to suppress the African slave trade, and
|iassed t«o acts upon the subject, one in the year
1817, and the other in J818, to carry into effect
ie laws of the United States, passed to suppress
tnis traffle. 8ce Cobb's new Digest p. 988, 995.
The people of Georgia, then, are committed on
this question upon the record. Apart from the I
constitutional question, there were strong reasons
by the States should have vested tlic management
tif this foreign slave trade in Congress. They were
iifttiiim tfuftV mYA*
lloiv then could the slave States supjiress this trade I
along the sea-coast, stret -liing from Maiue to Geor
gia J 1 Jn the West Indies, on the coast of Africa, in
Brazil orelsewhere? It was utterly impracticable tor
them to do so, and it was solemnly agreed that it
should be done after the year 18ox. Tbe different
States, even if they had the means, consisting, as
they do, of sejiarate Governments, controlled by
different views and conflicting interests, would not
be likely to unite upon any common line of policy
to suppress this traffle. Hence tlic propriety of
conferring upon the General Government, which
possesses a naval jiower adequate to tbe suppress
ion of the traffle, tbe sole management and con
trol over this subject. And here I take Jenve of
tliis branch of the subject. In a future number, I

This act makes it obligatory upon the Supreme
Court to grant new trials, “ in all cases where
an exception to auy portion of the pleadings
may be illegally sustained, or illegally over
ruled by the presiding Judge—in all cases
where any evidence may beillcgally submitted
to, or illegally withheld from tbe Jury. In all
cases, where tbe presiding Judge inay deliver
an erroneous charge to tbe Jury or refuse to
give a legal charge in the language requested,
and in all cases where any evidence not mere
ly cumulative, but relating to aew and mate
rial facts shall be discovered, and shall be
brought to the notice of the Court, within the
time now allowed by law.”
ThisStatuteof 1853-4, is the fruitful source
of protracted litigation. It’s existence is de
plored, I have no doubt, by the Supreme Court,
for they well know how often they are con
strained by its provisions to grant a new trial,
when the verdict rendered which they thus set
aside, is in accordance icith the law and justice
oj the case.
Tn a long and perplexing trial, the Circuit
Judge, deciding as he does upon the spur of the
moment, would be more than human if he did
not err, very often upon immaterial points, and
yet if he does err, it matters not how trivial the
error—how little it may control or affect the
real merits of the case, a new trial must be or
dered, under this act of 1853 and 1854. Let
the people then demand of the Legislature its
repeal or modification.
When Lawyers have a bad case, their great
effort is to raise points, and procure decisions
from the Circuit Judge, In order to take their
chances for a new trial before the Supreme j
Court; and if the Judge should fortunately
steer through the laliarynth they have erected
for him, as a last resort, they cover his desk
with “ icritlen requests to charge lhe Jury,”
drawn with all the admirable skill of which
they arc masters, conned and penned in their
offices, with every imaginable shade and dis
tinction, and if the Judge “gives one” he should
not—or, icithholils one he should have given—or,
modifies or alters one erroneously, though it
will not weigh a feather in the result, the Su
preme Court must grant a new trial.

the people of Georgia, unaided, had developed a
