Congress was to impose no restraint on the slave trade before 1808, thus allowing the rice states an interval of twenty-one years in which to stock their plantations. The Northern states gave evidence of sincerity in the immediate prohibition of all traffic in slaves at their own ports. The off-setting concession to the com- mercial interests of the North was the omission from the constitution of the amendment, urged by Southern planters, requiring a two thirds' majority for the adoption of any... restrictions on navigation. The merchants of the seaports, finding their trade injured by the British Navigation Act, were demanding compensating protection. Legislation in Behalf of Shipping. — One of the first peti- tions received by the Federal Congress was drawn up by the merchants of Baltimore. It stated that " among the advan- tages looked for from the national government is the in- crease of the shipping and the maritime strength of the United States of America by laws similar in their nature and operation to the British Navigation Acts." The ship- wrights of Charleston, South Carohna, petitioned to the same effect, begging that Congress would relieve the distresses that had fallen on shipwrights throughout the United States in consequence of the decline in that branch of business.
