My question is, are you in favor of reopening the African slave trade ? Mr. CRAWFORD. Under a particular state of circumstances, I announce that I would be. At the present time, I am opposed to the reopen- ing of the African slave trade ; and so is the Democratic party of Georgia. There are circum- stances, as I stated during the last session of Congress, in which I would be in favor of it ; but at present I am not, nor is my party. And I may say the same in reference to the Opposi- tion party.... Mr. FARNSWORTH. I have been asked by several gentlemen upon my left, whether I en- dorsed the doctrine of the Helper book. I will say here that I have not read the entire book. I never saw a copy of it until I came to this House the present session. I have looked at some pages of the book, and, in so far as any passages of it can be fairly construed into the advocacy of servile insurrections, a raid upon the slave States, or the encouraging of the slaves to a violent resistance of their masters, I do not endorse the Helper book.
