CARELESSNESS AND DANGER.
Several Dray horses have runaway in our
streets, within ten or twelv days. Fortu
nntely, so far, no perssn has been injured,
but these occurrences are always attended
with danger. The Drivers of Drays who
leave their horses, and render tliem liable to
run, should be brought to an account, and
thin culpable carelessness visited with proper
punishment.

The subject was then informally laid aside,
and the Senate proceeded to the considera

Mr. Calhoun addressed the Senate in a

I have no whining apologies to make for
slavery as ii exists in the shiveholding States,
neither do I hold it to be a moral, social, or
political evil. Wherever the relation of de
pendence exists, the form designated as slave

Statee are the last who have a right to read
lectures to the South. The slave trade prop
er, by which the African was torn from Ins
unlive laud, and Drought lo mis continent 'or

descendants of the Plymouth pilgrims, nnd
the colonists of the Providence Plantations.
Massachusetts and Rhode Island can tell
how much wenMi hus been acquired by them
in this traffic. The slave deck and the slave

and the agonizing cry rising from the captive

The slave trade was carried on the North

of the non-slavfholding Ktntes sold their

Let them repent of the crimes of the slave
ship, and (fie kidnapper ; and when that Is
done, if we wish their aid, it will be sought.
There is no humanity in all this cry. It is
all a struggle for power, political power a
restless effort to get rid of the principle of
representation fixed by the Constitution, as
the basis upon which slaveholders and non
