Whereas, Notwithstanding all efforts which
may be made on the Coast of Africa for sup
pressing the Slave Trade, the facilities for
carrying on that traffic and avoiding the vigi-
lance of cruisers by the fraudulent use of
flags and other means, are so great, and the
temptations for pursuing it, while market
can be found for slaves, so strong. as that
the desired result may be long delayed, UNI
less, all markets be shut against the purchase
of African negroes; the parties to this trea-
ty agree that they will unite in all becoming
and circumstances, with any
and all Powers within whose dominions such
markets are allowed to exist and that they
will urge upon all such Powers the proprlcty
and duty Of closing such markets at once
