the African Slave trade. The pre

ofsound truth and good policy. We
regard- it as a great and growing evil
to the cause of the South and to, tire
instittit'i of slavery that tills property
is every day rising in value and in
fint, has al'ready become so high as to
induce those owning b)ut. a few slaves
to part, with themn for the money of
the large Capitalist of the country.
For whenever this spt eies of property
is entirely concentrated in the hands of
a few wealthy planters, the strongest
of all inducements to protect and do
fend thi insititution is lost to the
majority and poorer portions of our
people, who will then- ee in the slaves
ofthe ricli' only so many rivals in all
the departments of labor and industry.
