tz.4PE fRALSE

~• TO THE EDITOR. OF THE STAit.
Stk-.:The advocates fur the continuance of the
African Slave Trade, in the dearth of found argu-
ment for the fupport of their caufe, have frequently
bad the effrontery to make their appeal to the Holy
Scriptints. The Scriptures undoubtedly record the
' exifience of Livery in ancient times; but furely it
woulfl he a very unfair inference from this admiffion,
that the Seripturei therefore fanelkin that traffic in
Men which is carried on by Brittfli fubjeas from the
CoaQ of Africa, for the fupply of Labourers in the
Weft India Maids. If fuch a principle of interpre-'
tation were admitted, to what , abfurd confequences
would it not lead ? The Scriptures record the fra
tricide of Cain, the drunkennefs of Noah, and the
polygamy:of David.; but, would it be jult reafon.,
ing to infer, that either murder, or fenfuality and
profligacy, were fanitioned by the Word of Goo?
As juft, at leak as that deduced by the modern
Man Merchant from the fele of Jofeph to the Midi-
anite', or from the exiftence of bondage in the Pa-
triarchal ages, in favour of his horrid traffic.
But let it be granted, for the fake of argument,
that the Slavery meotioned.in Scripture was rant:lion.
ed by Davies authority, will this conceffion affetl
the queftion at iffue, or effablifh the lawfulnefs of the
African Slave Trade ? By no means. But, before
I enter upon the dircuffion of this fu.bjeet, it will be
proper to premife, that the caulk for which I plead
has fuffered materially twin the ambiguity of the
term Slavery. This vague and undefined term is ap-
plied to conditions of fociety cliftcting very widely in
alnioft eveiy effential particular. We (peak of our
becoming Slaver, if a Minliter do but fufpend the
Habeas Corpns Ad. The French are called Slaver,
bemire they do not enjoy the fame degree or politi•
cal liberty with which PROVIDLNCII has bided this
Ifland. The domeftic fervitude of Africa (which

probably bean a clofe refemblance to Patriarchal
bondage) is termed Skro;Ty, and the fubjeet of it
Slaw. Some other name, therefore, ought to be
invented to esnrefs Well India bondage ; for, by
means of the airuciation a ideas, which is produced
by this intercommunity of appellation, efpecially in
the minds of perfons who have had no opportuhity
of fully inveaigating the fuhjeet, the African Slave
Trade, together with that fyitem which it feeds and
perpetuates in the Welt Indies, is confounded with
Hates of fervitude fo very mitigated as to excite no
horror, and is thus relieved from a great part of its
(bade.

The fyflem of Slavery which prevails in our Weil
India Colonies, we believe to Rand alone in the hil-
-1 tory of the world. It is not only (as Mr. Pitt
affirmed, in 1792) the greatelt prettiest evil which
has ever affiided the human race, but it is as evil,
fad :merit, to radically and elfentially different from
every other which happens to have the fame name
attached to it, as fcarcely to form a fair ground even
of analogical reafoning. -But let us confider this
point more attentively.
The miferies entailed on Africa by the Slave Trade
are already fufficiently known to the Publics I need
not, therefore, dwell at prefent on that part of the
fubjed. Let us follow the Slaves in the Middle Pal-
fage ; there, if we may credit the MAN MERCHANT,
the utmott exertions of his humanity and beneficence
are employed to promote the cafe and comfort of his
African pallingers. But even there we (hall be con-
(trained
to confefs, that his tender mercies are cruel.
In the year 1791 (three years after the Offing of
the Slave-carrying aa, which Is admitted by the Man
Merchants themfelves to have very greatly !dined
the mortality on board the Slave (hips), of 15.754
Slaves carried from the Coail of Africa, 1378 died
(lilting the Middle PalTage, the average length of
which was fifty-one days, making emortality of 81
per cent. in that time, fa? of 621 per cent per ann.;
a rate of Mortality which would depopulate the
earth in a year and (even months. The amount of
the mortality in t 792, was, however, Rill more
enormous. Of 31.554 Slaves carried from Africa,
no fewer than eats died on the paffage, making
fomewhat more than feventeen per cent. in fifty-one
days. Had the voyage been prolonged, and the (laves
continued to die in the fame proportion , the whole
number would have been completely (wept away in
about ten months. •
I would now ale, whether it be fair—whether it
be allowable—to dignify a pradice fo pregnant with
mifery and murder, with the name of Commerce )
It is not a commerce—it is a crime—it is murder—
wanton,
foul, atrocious, and aggravated; commit-
ted, not by the needy adventurer, under the urgent
preffure of poverty—not by fome injured individual,
thirfling for revenge, but by the wealthy capitalias
of Liverpool and London—by the luxurious propri
etors of our Weft Indian Colonies; and folely, let
it be remembered, for the purpofe of fatisfying, if
poflible, their this It of gain, or more fully pamper-
ing their luxury ! Surely this cannot long be endured
by a Britilh Pat liament. If it is to be tolerated, let
us, at leaß, have fume fpecious pretext for the in-
dulgence ; let there be, at lean, one practice pointed
out, either in ancient or modern Rory, which will
bear to be compared, for one moment, with this abo-
minable traffic; othcrwife we ought no longer to be
impofed upon by the hardy affumption of its *aura-
and wsiverfallj.
But the horrors of the Middle Paffage are at length
terminated. The Slaves are landed in the Welt In-
dies—expofed like cattle in a fair—(tanned and
gauged with as little ceremony as is tbferved by a
carcafe-butcher in Smithfield. and baring been pur-
chafed by fome Planter, are led tr. his eßate. What
is then the fituation of fuch of them as furvive the
feafoning ? They are the abfolute prope'r'ty of their
purchafer, vendible by Lim procifely in the fame
manner as the bode witich turns his fngar-mill ; and,
if dired privation of life and limb be excepted, equal-
ly fubjeft to his difcretioe, as to the quantity of la-
bour to be exalted, the proportion of food to be al-
lowed. and the difcipline or punilbment to be in
Aided. During the hours of labour, they are driven,
like a team of oxen or horfes, by the cart-whip ;
and tbir compsyren tf hiker, 11 the pheietd imps*, or
pieta terror 4' the whit, is waverfial with refitted la
fuck Slaves as are engaged in caltivatiag Nrrlllandt.
—As to civil rights, or any political existence,
they Rand on a level with the brute. Immode-
rate cruelty to a Slave is punithable as a Qui-
lance, in the fame way as immoderate crotchy to
cattle. But then, it is always difficult, and generally
• See meows hid on the table of the biotite of Lords la mg.

iiiipoffible, to obtain-proof of the fad : for (let it not
be forgotten) the evidence of a Slave, or of .. thou-
fand Slaves, did they all tail.), the fame ih;ng.
would not be available in the very fmal!eft degree to
the conviction of one who is free. Thi- then, is the

Rate of bondage to which, not only the imp(ltteti
Africans themfelves, but their children, and their chile

dren's children, for E•Ra AND EVER, are inevita')iy
contigned : and I defy any one to thew, not only
that a tingle circumnapce in this picture i, exagger-
ated. bat that it is not a matter of as univ 1141 noto-

riety in the Well India, whatever it may he in Eu-
rope. as the .exiflence cif glaccry at all. I d,) meal!,
indeed, to affirm, that this fyflem Is not as humanely
adminiitered by fome Welt. Indian Planters, as its
nature will admit : but hill fuck is the fyllem which
they have to adminifter.
Let it be remarked, however. that there is one cir-

cumftance in the lot of Weft Indian Slaves, which
renders it even worfe than that of brutes. They not
only feel prefent pain, but they can remember the
pall : they can anticipate the future ; they can dif-
courfe : they can contrive : they can execute : they
can diftinguifti between right and wrong ; tbey have
had the insolence, at times, to curdle this faculty :
nay. they have even dared to prefer a claim to the
poffclhon of humanity, by expreffing a fenfe of injury
and injullice, and by (hewing that they can relent it.
Hence it is, that while in this country we fee men
take pleafure in railing their honks and dogs to a par-
ticipation of their own enjoyments, and to a place,
as it were, in their friend limp and fociety, the Slave
in the Weft Indies it degraded and thruft down to
the very earth ; left, looking upwards, fome unto.
ward accident fhould difcover to him that he is a
Man, poll-died of the lame common nature with his
matter, and equally entitled, with him, to feel and to
repel inhilt, and injury, and torture.
Now I do not hefitate to challenge all the advo-
cates of the Slave Trade to point out, in ancient times,
any (late or condition of life which bears the molt re-
mote refemblance to the Weft Indian fyftem, view-
ed in all its parts, from its commencement in Africa,
to its completion in the Well Indies. Nay, fo far is
it from having any claim to antiquity, that I take it
upon myfelf to aver, that this fyllem, as now confti-
toted, is entirely a modern invention. It took its
rife in the Antilles, about zzo years ago ; and from
that time it has been gradually augmenting, until, by
the accumulating waite of Britifh capital and African
blood, it has acquired its prefent hideous form and
gigantic dimenfiens.
Still, however, it may he pertinacioufly argued,
thatfiever, isflayery, and that no doubt can be enter-
tained of the exiftence of fuch a Rate of fociety
among the Ifratlites. The bondage, however, which
prevailed among. the Ifraelites, will not be Paid, by
the moll hardy vindicator of the modern Man Mer-
chant, to have been worfe than that to which the
Children of Ifrael themfelves had been fubjedled in
Egypt. Of that Rate they always fpoke as a Rate of
the molt intolerable oppreffion. In comparifon of it,
every other fervitude was light. Their deliverance
from it, as typical of another and greater deliverance,
was called, by way of eminence, their Redemption.
So powerful was their imprelllon of the horrors of
this Rate, that the iron furnace, the furnace of afflitlion,
and fimilar expretlions, feein inadequate to exprefs
their conceptions of it ; and Egypt, the land of their
captivity, is emphatically termed the Houle of Bonday ;
and it it by the recolleCtion of their fufferings in that
country, that the ALMIGHTY enforces upon them the
injundlion to be kind to the (hangers who dwelt
among them.
Yet what, after all, was the nature of this Egyp-
tian bondage ? Was its dreadful feverity fuch as to
diminith the number of Slaves, and to require hear
importations to fill up the void which was caufed by
exceffive labour, harsh treatment, and fcanty food ?
By no means—they multiplied fo rapidly,'as to be-
come an object of terror to their oppreffors, from
their very increale. Had their labour no known
meafure or limit, or wa. it forced from them at the
'caprice of an orerfeer or driver, by the compelling
power of the cart whip ? No Inch thing. It was the
fubjeft cf fpecific and uniform regulation :—talks
were appointed : the tale of bricks was previously
named ; and as to food, the flcfh pots of Egypt had
become proverbial among them.
Having now, as I conceive, incontrovertibly efta-
bliffied the radical difference between any Slavery
which could have elided among the Mechem:, and
that which now exifts in the Weft Indies, I have at
leaft demoliffied every thing like argument in favour
of the Scriptural fandion of the African Slave Trade ;
I would, therefore, entreat thofe well meaning men
in this country, who. from unacquaintance with the
real Hite of things in the Weft Indies, have too rea-
dily conceded that the fyftem of Weft Indian Ben-
dage has fume countenance in Scripture, to tetra&
that conceffion ; and to be no longer impofed upon
by the mere Similarity of a name, when the things
arc in their nature fo elfentially dittindt. And let not
the Man Merchants, nor their advocates, any longer
infult the common fade, to fay nothing of the re-
ligion, of their country, by arguments fo abfurd and
impious.
It V4ll fcarcely be expeeted, that after this confu-
tatioo of the argument, deduced from Scripture, in
favour of the Slave Trade, 1 fhould think it nereffary
to prove the contrariety of thofe pradlices to which
this trade gives birth, as well as all the principles on
which it is founded, to the whole tenor and fcope
both of the Old and of the New Tellament. That the
fpirit of the Chriflian ReligiLn (lands opposed to the
Slave Trade, is too obvious to require proof : I shall,
therefore, content myfelt with having rectified the
mifeonceptions which have arifen on this fubjca from
the ambiguous rife of the term Slavery, and with
quoting two or three patfages of Scripture which
fcem to have a pretty decifive heating on the queftion:
" Therefore all things whatfoorer ye wuald that men fhould
do to you. do ye even fo to them ; for this is the law• and the
Prop The
" law is snide for the larders and
ftealera."
" And he that S LLLLL ru a man an? SELLeTII him, or if ho
be found in Ws hard, be (hall Cutely be put to death."
Your's, &c. AN ABOLITIONIST.
