A Measure, in which the republic is more deeply concerned, than in any which has been discussed since the adoption of the Federal Constitution, is about to be brought before our national representatives.
It will then be decided, whether Congress will give its sanction to the extension of a system which is repugnant to the fundamental principles of a republic.
During the last session of this body, the inhabitants of Missouri petitioned for admission into the Union. As usual, the law authorising the erection of the territory into a state, was amended by annexing several conditions to the required permission. After several minor amendments had been proposed and adopted, a gentleman from New-York moved, that the further introduction of slavery or involuntary servitude be prohibited, except for the punishment of crimes, whereof the party shall have been fully convicted.
This amendment was warmly opposed by the southern members. They exclaimed that it was unconstitutional, appealed to those local prejudices, which, unfortunately for the welfare of this republic, have too great influence upon the conduct of statesmen; and in the Senate, where the states are not represented according to the population or wealth, succeeded in rejecting the amendment.
Since then the advocates of slavery have been unusually active; private interest has enlisted many as zealous supporters of the system, and it is necessary that disinterested men, if they would not sec the general good sacrificed to local interests, should rouse themselves in defence of the principles of freedom.
The clamours of a few interested individuals must not be mistaken for the general sentiment of the comnunity.
Twelve states, containing four-sevenths of the whole population, and two-thirds of the white citizens, have clearly expressed their opinions against slavery by making laws for its abolition; and even in the slave states, if the question were put to the electors, Shall slavery be abolished, and the blacks exported? I sincerely believe, if no arts were used to influence the passions and bias the judgment, that a majority would answer in the affirmative.
