Victoria be slave breeder and a slave owner
mean of black negro slaves2 For the phiian-
thropists of the present DAY have no compassion
for any but black negroes with WOO ly hair, hat
noses, and jet skins; and this compassion Is
now confined 10 the domestic black negro slave
~ of the South. Can IL be that queen 'ic'o-
ria has any thing TO do with this negro slavery
in Inda2 For the social aud political slavery
of Europe, the grandees and titled noblesse oil
Europe, and the British Government, and The
Holy Alliance have no bowels OF compassion
lnasmuch as the favored few OF Europe owe
their consequence, and their luxury and de-
bauchery TO the degraded social slaves which
form a large portion OF their society, this
white slavery in Europe is very good thing
there. To destroy this in Europe would des-
troy the craft OF the few. ''Gfeat is Diana OF
the Ephesans"-and as The Government of Bri-
tain derives an emoumen from the negro black
slave in India, it is very convenient thing 10
own, and breed, and hire oul there also, the
families at half rupee per annum. This sup
ports their grandeur in Europe also. Black and
negro slavery there, suits their interest.
But in the Southern States of North Ameri-
ca, domestic negro slavery is an outrage 10 the
laws Of God and man, and inconsistent with
the Constitution OF the United States. The
slave breeders, and shareholders, and slave
sellers of the Southern States are the most in
famous wretches spon earth. Such is the Lam
guage of nation who virtually holds in social
slavery many millions of her own flesh and
in domestic slavery.
Ii will be instructive to see with what tender
sensibility Queen Victoria is made to interfere
in the case of the Amlstad negroes:

SIR: With reference to the memorial of the Glss-
Cow Emancipation Society, dated the 25th of Octo-
Der last, behalf of the negroes who took posses
sion Of the Amisad, and were subsequently carried
to New London, in the United States of America,
directed by Viscount Palmerston to state to YOU
for the information Of the above mentioned society,
that his Lordship has directed her Majestys Minis
ter at Washington to lnterpose his good Offices IN
their behalf in order thai they may be restored to
liberty and his Lordshp has further instructed her
Maesty's Charge d'Afaires at Madrid TO call upon
the Spanish Government to issue Immediately strict
orders the authorities of Cuba that il the request
of the Spanish Minister at Washington is complied
with, the negroes in question may be put in posses
sion of their Liberties.

The nsolence manifested in this letter, when
ment in relation 10 negro African slavery else
where, it is hoped did receive severe rebuke
from our Government in 1899 And it would
be good conferred on us even at this day to
have the reply of our Government to an applica
lion so extraordinary, now published for our edi-
fcauon.
1t would consume more time and money than
Macon can spare, 10 show that the Government;
of Great Britain and her officers, of the West

the Eastern Coast of Africa, deriving the
handsomest perguistes from black negroes

Does the British Government pay this? Oh!
No. Cutie must go and work out his appren-
ticeship in Guiana, and in the West Indies. He
is now an apprentice, and when he has paid his
fees, and now past labor, and it would be too
expensive 10 maintain him, he is set free,
like his white negro brother in Europe, who
in the state of social slavery, in sickness.

The great superiority in point Of benefit to the
privileged, to the noneyed class where social
slavery exists, is plain The valuable labor of
the slave is only paid for. Misery, famine, and
death is the portion Of the social slave when in
infancy. sickness, and old age.
Is this the reason why the negro left 10 MOL

to the North. Certainly. No other motive or
