r '
At' the last session Of
our Legislature, Mr. Jakx;
Moxxbxab, the 8enator from Guilford, offered to pre
sent a Petition from his immediate constituentaon they
subject of abolishing 8Iavery.
But no sooner was the.
. :
object of the honorable member understood, notwith-;
standing the acknowledged right of State Legislatures
to entertain such propositions, than Mr. Ed wabds, of
Warren, Mr. Wilsob, of Edgecomb, and other Van
Buren- Senators, were so i horrified at the monstrosity
of the thing, and made such a-to-do about it, that Mr.
MoBxaxxs withdrew the oflenaive paper, without pre-,
senting iL ; Immediately, the war cry was raised,, Mr.
Mobxhkas was denounced as an AboUtioTust,'his mo
tives and acts were perverted, and his political friends
were all, more or less, implicated in his indiscreet
conduct. ; Not only so, but so contaminating was the
deed considered in its effects and consequences, that the
i momeni.wr. woBs muiwiin wm uumuiweu uy
;W nigs as uieir canowiaie tor jruveruor, uc w wjrcuij
charged, and held responsible for the act of his brother.
i It was next discovered, that ;Mr. AcecsTiirx H
8axrrtxBB,-the Representative from toe Guilford Dis
trict, whilst in Congress, had presented aa AntMlave
ry Memorial. This was deemed 'so damning a ain,
that It was urged with great effect against that gentle
man, at the last dection, and materially contrmuted, it
is said, to his defeat. Be that aa it may, it is certain
that bis presentation of such a Petition; together' with
Mr. Jaxxs MobxbxaVs attempt to do so, was vehe
mently urged as proof not only that they were , un
sound on the subject of Slavery, but that Mr. Jobs

and that provision may be made lor thev removal of

And as we '.view with deep' regret the prevailing.
'spirit of oppression, which abounds, in our land,' the
practice of Slavery which is heldup, in some of . the

these States ; if thi sin of oppression, if this great na
tional evil is not counteracted by legislative enact

licit yoOT attention to the several points mentioned, in
this memorial.
That your honorable body may take the subject
of Slavery as it exists in these States into serious con
sideration and prescribe some way, whereby they may
divest themselves of the; evils attendant on Slavery
and! the internal slave trade, which is kept up among
'.a number of the slave States. ivi -. ,v-v.
' Although we are setiSwZi that the States have1 re
tained certain rights,' yet it is also rue that Congress
has a Constitutional rawer to provide for the common
defence; and 'general, welfare of the' United States.
We therefore believe hi ought to become a national
concern, adu m tne wenare oi tne cnaies is iaoi'
