directly the reverse. The simple fact ,b,,
slaves have been emancipated, since tbeso
ciety existed, and that some few of tbs,.
emaneipated slaves have been transpor,.,
BY the Society, is no proof whatever. ,h,,
the Society aided in the least in their em,,

the Society existed. Before il is pretens.,

it be shown that il has ever had the Ip,-
tendency that way on single one Of lis n
