Unparalleled 6aseness, shall we call
it /? The term is not sufficiently in
significant, nor can we couture up an
epithet to characterize the features Of
depravity belonging to a transaction
which has just been related to US. Let
the reader judge. "A white man, whose
name we withhold for the present, ar
rived here few days ago in a small
craft from Richmond, having with him
a negro man and two small boys
He offered the boys for sale to several
persons, but the price 800 being
thought too high, he lowered it to $3.50
