race horses, burst into ercer flight for their tenn

up with unfuctuating interest; but certainly the
skill with which the characters are drawn and de
veioped, is where the authors talents have beer

more than ak thousand are slaves There are
more slaves pei mile square in this District which
ought TO be the model Of perfect freedom, than

alarming fact that the slave population increases
faster than the white.

District is made the head quarters for carrying on
The domestic slave-trade. During the last year
there were one hundred and tpenty four slaves com
mtted TO the prison in this city for the purpose Of
