FROM AFRICA.

Ike ISidre Trade. Sierra Leone Gazettes 10 the
Cd day oi April, have been receivedby the Editors OF
the Boston Patriot and by the following extracts
from them, it will be painful orr readers to per-
ceise that ci,zens Of the u. States charged with
participating in that inhuman, worse than brutal
traffic the African Slave Trade and that loo, not
witbstanding the penalty of death is incurred on
conviction. The heart sickens at the thought that
any oil our countrymen debased, so lost 20
common fellow feeling, SO regardless OF the laws
both OF God aud man, as to pursue this horrible tra
hc at the very risk Of their lives.
From the Sierra Leone Gazette, April Q, 1895.
{" We are credibly informed that three vessels un

coast Tor Slaves, one OF them the Baltimore built

at Sherbar.-Thus we these miscreants taking
the advantage oil the absence of American cruisers

the heavy punishment it sub bects them to. We have
here occasion TO regret the failure of The neg goation

vessel was fitted out at Martinco, under the com
mand OF capt. Henri Norma with orders to proceed
TO the coast OF Africa, for cargo of $50 logs of
ebony wood and on arriving at Sherbar, the captain
exchanged his cargo for 1852 slaves, and left the
coast ior Nartinico,two days out, the slaves rose.

two men, whom they spared on condition of working
The vessel to the nearest land. On making Factory
lsland ono OF the Isles de Loss, they entered the
harbor, and the Collector of Sierra Leone hearing
she was there, went aud seized her. The slaves,
1872 in number, have been landed and liberated at
Sierra Leone. In this small vessel measuring As
t-ei ~ length Is feet in width and 7 feet depth of
hold, we're slowed 1872 human victims! This is but
one among the numerous instances of the horrors
OF slavery, in crowdng such number of human
beings into the hold Of so small a vesse.''

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

The time fixed for the execution Of the solemn |
sentence pronounced upon Horace Carter, the pris,
oner whose life has been forfeited 10 the violated
Laws has been fixed on The 9Th Of December next,
between the hours of II and |. 1t is with surprise
we have heard dsapprnoaon expressed Of " the
severity of the punishment, denounced against the
crime a rape. which has doomed this wretched man
70 death. The tendency of such expressions is TO
diminish conhence in the wisdom OF that system OF
laws, vigantiy guarding the persons, the property,
and the tights OF The citizens from injurious viola
ton. In the land Of ancestors, the penal code.

necessities have driven him to plumber some pi-

the side OF mercy, and forbearance has been ex-

OF the culprit when they do not aim at the very
foundations of society are passed lightly by, or chas-

officers been called TO the painful duty oil nf}icing
the heavier penalties for the few offences visited
with death, that the apparatus tor executions has
been mouldered by age and decayed by dlsuse
The crime which has drawn down the sentence
recently pronounced, is OF the highest character
Of aegravation and of the deepest dye Of arocity.
Murder placed by its side, would seem almost spot

society of an individual whose services are more or
less valuable The former plumbers that reputation
rnore valuable than life, and leaves the miserable
object of existence burdeEed with the curse oil ex
