Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Badger, of North Carolina, on the Slavery Question: In Senate, March 18 and 19, 1850 No w, Mr. President, I wish it to be distinctly understood - it is for that purpose I have brought this subject forward; it is for that purpose I have noticed the note to which I have called the attention of' the Senate - that the inference drawn from our legislation, as well as from detached expressions and incidental observations contained in law reports, to which I alluded the other day, are very well calcu lated to mislead the mind, and to produce very unjust, and, consequently, unfavorable, impressions as, to the state of the public mind in the southern country in regard to the slaves who are subject to our control.
