After having denounced the proceedings under these laws as abuses, he proceed- ed to speak of certain evidence in his possession of the facts stated in the papers to which he referred. Among this evidence, the Senator either pro- duced or referred to a certificate given by a keeper of a house for colored seamen, or colored persons, affirming, if my recollection is right as to num- bers, that there were annually imprisoned in New Orleans twelve hundred colored seamen. The Senator will correct me... if I mistake. Mr. WINTHROP. I believe that was the estimate. Mr. BERRIEN. In Charleston, there were said to be five hundred im- prisoned annually ; in Savannah, three hundred ; and in Mobile a number which I do not recollect. Now, sir, that statement, presented to the Senate of the United States in the discussion of the question which is now com- manding universal attention, is so presented by the Senator from Massachu- setts, without any disavowal of the authority, or question as to the credit, of the individual making the statement, and with the implied affirmance of that authority and credit by the act of presentation.
