FROM THE GEORGIA JOURNAL.

Every one who feels for the honor of his country must be indignant at the open violation of its laws, by a set of men, who of all others have least right to calculate on escaping unpunished. Certainly those who make choice of a profession which is contrary to law and repugnant to humanity, have no special claim to indulgence. The Negro Traders who infest our State, and particularly this town, should be immediately apprehended and held for trial. Let a jury of better men than they are determine how many of them are entitled to the appellation of emigrants, and whether the hiring of slaves for 50 or an 100 years is such an evasion of the law as will exempt from fine and imprisonment in the Penitentiary, those who (not being emigrants) bring into this state slaves from other states, and sell or offer them for sale within less than one year. Look to it Negro Traders! And do you, honest citizens, who respect the laws, look to it also!

Many of the slaves brought here for sale by the Traders are of the very worst characters, and often taken out of jails, pardoned perhaps for some crime on condition of being sent out of the state. A few are stolen from the owners, and others who were born free are kidnapped.

An unfortunate man of this state is now suffering for this last offence in the state of New York—but a few weeks ago two free black children, the youngest only 15 months old, were stolen from their parents in Delaware and sent to the Southward for sale. The people of this state will not tolerate such villainy. Again we say, look to it Negro Traders! It is high time for all of you who do not wish apartments in the Penitentiary to be off.
