  [8] As early as 1836 Calhoun declared that he should ever
      regret that the term “piracy” had been applied to the
      slave-trade in our laws:  Benton, Abridgment of Debates, XII.

 [10] In 1826 Forsyth of Georgia attempted to have a bill
      passed abolishing the African agency, and providing that the
      Africans imported be disposed of in some way that would entail
      no expense on the public treasury:  Home Journal, 19 Cong. 1
      sess. p. 258.  In 1828 a bill was reported to the House to
      abolish the agency and make the Colonization Society the
      agents, if they would agree to the terms.  The bill was so
      amended as merely to appropriate money for suppressing the
      slave-trade:  Ibid., 20 Cong. 1 sess., House Bill No. 190.
