s carried by 55 Yeas to 41 Nays — a motion that the Senate apportionment be based on Federal numbers, and that for the House on the White population, having first been voted down--48 to 48. So the effort of the West, and of the relatively nonslaveholding sections of Virginia, to wrest political power from the slaveholding oligarchy of the tide-water counties, was defeated, despite the sanguine promise at the outset; and the Old Dominion sunk again into the arms of the negro-breeders. Hezekiah Niles, in his Weekly Register of October 31, 1829, thus forcibly depicted the momentous issues for Virginia and the country, then hinging on the struggle in Richmond: Virginia Convention.--The committees having chiefly reported, the tug of war between the old lights and the new has commenced; and the question is to be settled whether trees and stones, and arbitrary divisions of land, with almost as senseless herds of black slaves, or the free, tax-paying inhabitants of the State, shall hav

Mr. Bagby, a Democratic Senator from Alabama, positively declared from his seat that he would not support it; while the opposition of Messrs. Niles, of Connecticut, Dix, of New York, and Benton, of Missouri, was deemed invincible; but the Alabamian was tamed by private, but unquestionable, intimations, thait would not be safe for him to return to his own State, nor even to remain in Washington, if his vote should defeat the darling project; and the repugnance of Messrs. Niles, Dix, and Benton, was somehow overcome — the Walker amendment serving as a pretext for submission to the party behest, when no plausible excuse could be given.

but which Calhoun declared was passed more to make a political issue than to please the manufacturers. This opinion was certainly in line with Greeley's recommendation. From that time to the date of his nomination for President, Greeley, with the Tribune at his back, was the foremost advocate of a protective tariff in this country, addressing a larger constituency than any of the tariff advocates in Congress. He was early recognized as an authority on the subject, Weed placing only Hezekiah Niles above him. He was the author of an article in the Merchants' Magazine of May, 1841, which replied to a free-trader's argument, and he and McElrath began, in 1842, the publication of a magazine called The American Laborer, whose purpose was the inculcation of the protective doctrine. In November, 1843, he and Joseph Blunt defended the affirmative side in a debate in the Tabernacle in New York city on the question, Resolved, That a protective tariff is conducive to our national prosperit

The Washington National Intelligencer voluntarily Lib. 7.61. padlocked its own lips, agreeing to exclude all discussion of slavery from its columns except as occurring in the Congressional proceedings. The press of the District Lib. 7.66. generally garbled even these. Elsewhere, editors began injuriously to misreport the speeches at anti-slavery Lib. 7.19. meetings. Hezekiah Niles had already thought it expedient to suppress names as well as utterances. Such wretches as Garrison and Dennison, the Savannah Georgian had exclaimed in it's article on negro slavery of June 19, 1833, copied into the Register (44: 295) with blanks and this apology: The names of the persons here inserted are not worth preserving, and we have dashed them out.
