A NEW HORROR IN THE SLAVE
TRADE.

A gentleman recently on The coast of Africa
furnished the following horrible account of Pc
cullar species of inlquity, in connection with the
slave trade, 1t will be read with asonishmeni
even by those who are most familiar with the his
tory OF the most delestable traffic that disgraces
the human race.
The statement is placed in our hands for publ
cation, and willing TO be responsible for lis
literal ruth. The writer visited a town near the
mouth of the Gaboon river, where he found u
slave factory and 432 slaves. He says:
"There was one company which particularly
arrested my attention and affected my heart How
they came to he chained together connot tell,
unless their keepers yielding to what they suppe-
sed an innocent but unmeaning desire, allowed
.hem TO be drawn together by their sympalhies
and misforunes The company 10 which | al
Jude was made up evidently OF nursing mothers,
who had been bereft OF their children. What had
| become of their infants, was known perhaps, and
disregarded by their owner But not so With
them. Their countenances bespoke anguish and
bitterness Of spirit, which cannot he described
They were heather mothers, but the flame of ma
ternal affection had been ehklndled in their hearts
and no calamities or mlsiortunes however over
whelming could extinguish il.
"N hen infants nre born in the bai racoen, or
when mothers who have them at the breast, are
brought there TO he sold those infants, because il
is announcement to keep Them in the barracoon,
and next to impossible TO transport them acress
death. speak advisedly when affirm that this
10 a common place occurrence in the operations
OF the slave trade, and was upon inquiry cred
IDLY informed that such had been the case with
many OF the mothers 10 whom refer. The prac-
tice then, of lmmolnlng infants, is common in
Western Africa Not by the aborigines, for they
regard the practice unnatural and cruel in the
extreme not upon the shrine OF a blind and SUI
perstitious iloIiry, for the dolalrous creed of the
African has never reached tins climax OF absurdi-
~ and wickedness. 1t is done by white men The
nominal representatives OF Christianity; and that
purely TO CRAFTY an Unsuitable avarice,'-.N y.
Dos.
Gaboon ii will be seen from our Monthly Con-
cert intelligence, is the place which Mr.. Wilson
and his associates missionaries of the'Amercap
Board aud formerly located al cape Pamas have
fixed upon for their new station. Before The light
of the gospel such horrors of slavery must soon
vanish EDS. W. CHRoN

Which, soon discovering, took her for It's own;

While Echo answers from the flowory brake'

Ere hope had lost its rich romnntic huesj
When human hosoms seem'd the homes Of truth,
And earth still cleaned with beautys radient dews
Her summer prime wened not to days that heexei
Her wine of life run not to tho leos'

Ivoep not for her! She is an angel now,
And treads the sapphire aoor Of Paradise;
All darkness wiped from her reuigent brow,

Pure as the moonslno of an autumn night:
Weep not for her.
Weep not for her! There is no cause for wo

Unshrnking DER the thomy paths below,
And from earth's low deflements keep thee back.
So, when a fow fleet severing years have flown,
