But whether or not these checks would combine to prevent the great influx which is so much dreaded, it must be remembered that each State Government could for itself prevent importation. It is the right of every State to decide what description of men 30 shall be allowed to enter her limits. Every act cf the Federal Gov- ernment might be repealed, and still few or no slaves imported into Virginia or the Carolinas, if those States wished to prevent it. Con- gress can only prohibit — it cannot au...thorize importation in contra- vention of the State authorities; and even the power to prohibit is susceptible of grave dispute, in the event of a case being made before the courts of the country. Regarding, then, African slaves ever becoming an ''incubus upon the country" as a simple im- possibility, let us for a moment consider what would be the effect of importing them. It is with profound deference that I venture an opinion which, though it be the result of mature reflection, may be erroneous ; yet it does seem that, if as many slaves were imported as would supply the demands of capital not absorbed in the domestic trade, there would be no sudden effect produced upon the vested inter- ests of the South.
