The Fanaticism of Slavery—The Tuscaloosa (Ala) State Journal, speaking of the expulsion of Mr. Hoar from Charleston, utters itself on this wise:
"A statute similar to that of South Carolina, of which Massachusetts complains, is now of force in Alabama; and it may soon become our turn to meet a like effort to tamper with the slave interest. With all their philanthropy, the citizens of Massachusetts, generally, are very chary of their dollars—and perhaps it would be well for our Legislature to enact a law at its present session imposing a heavy penalty in dollars and cents, with imprisonment at hard labor in the State Penitentiary, until the penalty be met, on any agent, attorney, or other person who may visit Alabama on the same business that took Hoar to Charleston."
