Letter from Howell Cobb oe African
Emigration.
Treasury Department, »
May 22.1858. 5
Sir : It appear* from your letter of 20tb
April, 1858, that application baa been made
to you by Messrs. E. Lffitte and Co , mer
chants. of Charleaton, S. C.. -to clear tbo
American abip Richard Cobden, W. F. Black,
master, burthen 750 31-05 tons, for the coast
of Africa, (or the purpose oT taking on board
African emigrants, in accordance with the
U.S. passenger laws, nnd returning with the
same to a port in the United States.
You ask the opinion of the Department
upon the propriety of your granting or re
fusing the application.
The question is an important one, and I
hare delayed an answer to your letter until
I could gi»e the subject a proper examina
tion.
Yhe form in which this application is pre
sented, involves the question in some embar
rassment. The object of the applicants must
be either
of as stares
sum of one thousand dollars for each nnd
erery negro, mulatto, or other perao* of col
or, aforesaid, to be sued for and recovered
by action of debt, in any court of the United
8tetes. one-half thereof to the nae of the
United States, the other half to any person
or persons prosecuting for Iho penalty: and
in any action instituted for the recovery of
the penalty aforesaid, the person or persons
sued may be held to special bail: Provided
alway. That nothing in this act shall be
construed to prohibit the admission of In-
d'ans ”
It will le seen that Congress, by this act,
undertook to co-operate with tboee States
which, by Stale legislation, had interposed
to prevent the importation of negroes into
this country At that time the constitution
al prohibition to which I have before refer
red, restrained Congress from the exercise
of the absolute power of prohibiting such
importation. The States, however, being
under no such restraint, bad in several in
stances adopted measures of tbeir own *, and
... . , the act of 1803 shows the promptness of the
to import Africans to be disposed , ...
* ... I general government in exercising whatever
es, or to be bound to labor or ser-i " . , . , . . , , .
... 1 power it possessed in furtherance of the ob-
vice, or else to bring them into the country . ... .
' B , . . ject The language of ibis act is important
like other emigrants, ti be entitled on their , . _ ,, ... . .e..
arrival to all the rights and privileges of
freemen. In either of the two first named
contingencies, the object would be so clearly
and manifestly against the laws of the Uui-
ted States, as to leave 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 gen-
ernl policy o! jhe Government on the subject
of African importation.
Prior to the 1st January, 1808. the time
fixed by the Constitution when Congress
would be authorised to prohibit such impor
tation. the a3ts of 2d March, 1794. (1,347,)
and lOtli May, 1800 (270.) were passed —
These laws indicate tlie strong opposition
felt at that lime u the African slave trndo
The subsequent act of 2d March, 1807, (2.-
428.1 and 20th April. 1818. (3.452 ) as well
ns the acts of 31 March, 1819. (3 532 ) and
iloth May, 1S20, (3 GOO.) allow not only the
in another view. It will be observed that
its otjject is to prevent the importation into
theUnited States of .-any negro, mulatto,
or other person of color, not being a native,
a citizen, or registered seaman of the United
States, or seamen, natives of countries be
yond the Cepe of Good Hope.” It is not
confined to slaves or negroes bound to labor,
but contemplates the exclusion, in the broa
dest terms, of all such persona, without re
gard to character .jjUwliich they may be
brought. It excludes free persons ns well
as slaves and persons bound to labor or ser
vice The only limitation in the act is, that
it is confined to such persona as are prevent
ed Sy the laws of any of the States from be
ing imported into such States.
At that time there existed laws in some of
the States, nut only prohibiting the intro
duction of negro slaves, but alse free ne
groes. Indeed, the policy of the slaveholding
States lias always been opposed to the iu-
you art in duty bound to net upon the pre
sumption, that it is the intention of Mcaara.
Laffitt & Co. to evade the lew* of the Uni
ted Stetes, end you should accordingly re
fuse their veaeel the clearance asked for.
I am, very respectfully,
HOWELL COBB.

The recent end oft repeated visits of Eng
lish Officers on onr vessels in the golf, has
created quite a sensation in all circles, some
ate very wrathy, some cool, some sacred, for
fear we will have rvm with Old England.
As the Government is taking prompt meas
ures, it would be well for all to wait the re
sult of official inquiry and action. When
all is explained end truthfully stated, I
have do fear of any collision between the
two countries.

and pleated all honest men. yet the evil is
not abated, as they advertise here larger

time.that polity is move earnestly sustnioed
to the United States, but they also bear ev-
dence of the stern purpose of enforcing tbeir
provisions by severe penalties and targe ex
penditures The legislation of the slaveliold
ing States prior to 1RC8. exhibits the fact
that the first steps taken lur its snppiession
were inaugurated by them
There is no subject upon which tlit- statute
books of our countiy afford more conclusive
evidence than the general rppi sit 01 < very -
where felt to the continuance of the African,
slave trade
Ey reference to the acts ol 1794 and 1800
against the slave trade generally, it vi'l lie
seen that their operation was confined to
elans ra nomine The first section of the
net of 1794 provides. . That no citizen or
citizens of the United States, or foreigner
or any o.lier person coming into or residing
witliiu the same, shall, for himself, or any
other person whatsoever, either ns master,
fnctor or owner, build, fit. equip, load or
otherwise prepare any ship or ve-sel, within
nnv port or place cf the said United States,
imr shall cause any ship or vessel to sail
from any port or piece within the same, for
the purpose of carrying on any trade or
trnfic in slants In any foreign country oi
for tie purpose of procuring from any for
eign kingdom, place or couutry. the iuliaU-
touts of such kingdom, plnce or country,
port, or place, whatever, to be disposed of as
slaves: nnd if any ship or ve-sel shall be so
fitted out as aforesaid, for the said purpo
ses. or -hall be caused to sail, so ns afore
said, every such ship or vessel, her tackle,
furniture, apparel, anil other appurlenan
ces, shall he forfeited to the United States;
nnd shall he liable to be seized, prosecuted
and condemned in any of the Circuit Courts,
or District Court for tile District where the
said ship or vessel may he found and seiz
ed.”
The language of the act of 1S00 is the same
in this respect. Both contemplate, in gene
ral terms, the prevention of the trade in
slaves When, however, in 1807, and sub
sequent thereto, Congross undertook to pre
vent the importation of slaves into the Uni
ted States, the language of the law »as
made more stringent nnd comprehensive
The first section of the act of 1807 provides.
..That from and after the first day of Janu
arv, one thousnnd eight hundred and eight,
it shall not lie lawful to import or bring in
to the United States or the Territories there
of, from any foreign kingdom, plnce or coun
try, any negro, mulatto, person of color.
in those States than at any previous period
ol their history After this reference to the
laws on the subject, it is hardly necessary
to repeat, that if the application of Messrs.
Laffitt & Co., contemplates the introduction
of negroes into the Uuitcd States from Afri
ca, either iu the character of slaves or as
apprentices bound to service or labor, it is
dearly iu violaliou of both the letter and
spirit of the law, ami cunuot be granted.
The form of tie applicat on made by
Messrs Luffiit & Co , would seem to contem
plate the introduction iuto the Uuited States
ot uegrocs from Africa, entitled, on their
arrival, to all the rights and privileges of
frermcn The proposition, upon its face, is
so absurd : hut it is hardly worthy of serious
refutation. Messrs Laffitt & Co., ask us to
believe that their vessel, fitted out in the
port of Charleston, S C., is going upon a
voyage to Africa, to bring to some port in
the Uuitcd States a cargo of free negroes —
Toe pert to which the vessel expects to re
turn is not indicated. It cannot lie the one
from which it sails, nor any other port in
the State of South Carolina, as the introduc
tion of free negroes into the State is wisely
prohibited by stringent laws and heavy pen
alties It cannot be the poit of any other
slaveholdiDg State, as similar laws in each
of those states alike forbid it. The reason
for such laws is so manifest, that I do not
fed called upon either to produce the evi
dence uf their existence, or to justify the
policy which led to their adoption It is
sufficient to know that the public mind of
that section of the Union is oot more cordi
ally agreed upon any one subject than upon
the propriety and necessity of prohibiting,
as far as possible, an increase of the free
negro population ; nnd hence the laws to
which 1 refer, prohibiting their importation
from auy place
Can it be that Messrs. Laffitt & Co , pro
pose to return, with their cargo of free ne
groes, to a port in some of the non-slavehol
ding 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 Inws and constitutional
provisions, some of them have provided for
their unconditional exclusion
Looking beyond the legislation which has
been bad on the subject by the General Gov
ernment, and both the slaveholding and the
non slaveholding States, I may be permitted
to refer, in this connection, to the various.
with intent to hold, sell or dispose of such j repeated and earnest efforts which have been
negro, mulatto, or person of color, as a slave
or to be held to service or labor.
This law seeks not oo’y to prevent the in
troduction into the United States of slave*
from Africa, but any negro, mulatto or per
son of color, whether introduced as slaves,
or to be held to service or labor. Whether
the wisdom of our fathers foresaw at that
early day that efforts would be made, under
a pretended apprentice system, to renew the
slave trade under a new name. 1 cannot un
dertake to say ; but the larguage of the law
which they have left to us on the statute
book, leaves no doubt of the fact that they
intended to provide, in the most unequivocal
manner, against the increase of that class of
population by immigration from Africa.—
Rosas oauld then have contemplated an ob-
roade in every section of the Uuion, to pro
vide for the removal from our midst ot this
most unfortunate class. However varient
the motives which have induced these efforts
with different persona, 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 ifoing great injustice to the intel-
gence of Messrs. Laffitt & Co , to suppose
that they alone were ignorant of it. Where,
then, do they pi opose to land tbtir cargo of
Tree negroes.’ What is the motive which in
duces the enterprise ? It eannot be the prof
its of the voyage. There are no African
emigrants seeking a passage in this country;
jeet ot which African emigrants would be j and if there were, they have no metres ot
brought U this country, which is not clear- | remunerating Messrs. Laffitt & Co for brin-
ty guarded agi-inst and forbidden by the . giog them. The motive cannot bo mere phi-
law to wbiuh I am now referring It is only j lanthropy, for it would confer no benefit
ary to add that subsequent acts on the j upon these negroes to bring them to onr
shores, where, if permitted to land at all, it
would only be to occupy our pest booses,
hospitals and prisons. To believe, under the
circumstances, that there is a bona fUc
purpose on the part of Messrs. Laffitt & Co ,
to bring African emigrants to this country
to enjoy the rights and privileges of freemen,
would require an amonnt of credulity, that
Id justly subject the person so believing
tn the charge of mental imbecility. The
eonvietion is irresistible, that the object of
the proposed enterprise is to bring these
African emigrants” into the conntry, with
the view either of making slaves of them, or
of bolding them In service or labor. If oo.
it is an attempt to eeadn the lnws of the
oonntry on the subject of African imports-
tion. to which I have called yoar attention
