Returning to Slavery.
We find in the report of die North Car.
ftlina “House of Common d’ for Januer;
3, the following proceedings:
The hill for tfic relief of Emily Hooper
of Liberia, was then rend.
Mr. Norwood stated that Emily was
the daughter of a man who held a station
of consequence in the republic of Liberia.
He came to this State, purchased her free
dom, and carried her to Liberia. Her pa
rents being dead, she is most anxious tc
return to the service of her former mis
tress at Chapel HiU. The bill was tc
permit her to do so.
Mr. Benhuey thought there was n Con
stitutional objection to enslaving a free
African at present in Liberia. If he
thought there was not, be would be in fa
vor of the bUi
Mr. Norwood replied that she was ai
present a free woman, who voluntarily
wanted to return to slavery, but who would
become trie property of the State by re
turning here. To remove this, and vest in
it the person of her former mistress, was
the object of the hill.
Mr. B-nburv still thought that the act of
Congress, ns well as the Constitution, pro
hibited such a measure.
Mr. Kerr would vole iq favor of the bill,
as no act of Congress referred to this case.
She was not of pure African blood, nor a
native of Africa, and in returning to slavery
in this State, she did not come within the
acts of Congress prohibiting the slave
trade. Ho considered this case as giving
a high testimony in favor of the institution
of slavery in this State, when a woman,
after experiencing the benefits of liberty,
begs permission to return as die slave oi
her former mistress;
The bill passed its second reading.
