THE LETTER.
From the Niagara Cleaner, March 10.

Sir-!iaving accidentally come in possession of
the Albany Observer Of the 9th ut. wherein found
contained the substance of four letters, written by
the committee who had assembled together
for the purpose ofobtaining some information rela-
tive to the affair of Morgan-and as the said com
mitee have thought proper to lay before the world
part of the clrcumstantal evidence obtained at
their general meeting, which certainly goes far to
impcate some persons who, perhaps, never heard
Of Morgan until after the bloody tragedy was all
overland as believe ! am the person alluded to,
as being the author Of such. information, hereby
feel myself obligated to most soemnly declare that
part OF the reports which are said to have been
taken from said letters are utterly talse-and that
part which aludes to Mr.. Chaplin, of Buffalo. as
being in any manner concerned in the murder of
Morgan, was certainly made without any regard
to truth.
And also they had no Just grounds to make the
following statements, viz: That Lodge of British
masons was ealled that Mr.. Brant was sent for !.
that Morgan was taken to Mr. Ms house !:
that two or more masons from Niagara we're pre.
sent at the meeting, &c.--Ihe whole Of these
statements totally deny as being the author.-
Yet that number of the committee did receive in
substance the whole account, (except that mart
which aludes to MIR. Chapin,) from some source.

Morgan was butchered at Niagara, have no doubt.
but by whom do not pretend to say, and believe
that the man alluded to as being my informant,

From the eighteenth and nineteenth reports OF the
Directors Of the .4frican Institution. read at their
Annual General Meetings, held in London on the
18th day of May, 1924, and on the 18th day Of
May, 1925.
Sir Robert Mends, whose subsequent loss the
directors and the country at large have deeply to
deplorc, in letter to the Admiralty, dated the
a6th June, 1922, makes the following important
observations -
mThe facts which have come to my knowledge.
in my opinion, 20 far to establish this point, that
the slaye-trade will never be suppressed till the
right of search be freely admitted, and every ship
found with slaves on board, or evidently engaged
in shaving, be liable to condemnation to such ship
Of war of any nation as may seize her" While
the slave trade lasts, man can readily convert
the person of another into cash. with much less
trouble than he could raise the hundredth part of
the value by labor" it gives rise to every sort Of
dissipation and icentiousness, leading the mind of
the more active of the natives away from the less
productive and slower pursuits of agriculture and
commerce. But "wherever the traffic in slaves
has been checked, the natives appear to have shown
a fair and reasonable desire Of cutivating the
natural productions Of their country. Our resi-
dent officers and merchants agree in asserting, that
these would be raised to any extent for which a
market could be found. presume this is as much
as could be expected from any people in state of
nature''
81 am informed, it is almost impossible to credit
the extent to which the slave trade has been carr-
ed on in the Bonny; there having actually sailed
from that river, between the months of July and
November last year, l26 slave vessels, eighty six
Of which were French. and the others Spaniards
"An immense number have already sailed this
year; and find many more expected, and have
asceItalned. from good authority, that they will
generally be under the French hag--that is, they
sail, with their slavng cargoes board, from the
Havana, to port IN France, and there clear out

ing palm oil and ivory, ship their slaves, and re.
