It is supposed that one of the motives of the new Union is the opening of the African slave trade. For himself be was opposed to this measure, and Maryland and Virginia, by quicklv joining the new Confederacy, might prevent it; but, if the Cotton states go out alone, be could not say the African slave trade would not be opened.
