The ships course was slightly altered, and as the
sun rose, q handsome Baltimore built brig was seen
about three miles distant. The frigate rapidly came
up with her, and through the spy glass il was easy 't
perceive that her deck was crowded with negroes
Mr.. Wise, 10 high elee called up The captain:

proved successful; the chase backed her top sail and
to, as did the frigate also, Mr.. Wise doomed his off
cisl costume, and being determined 10 manage the
"hole matter himself, stepped into the boat with the
IieuteRsnt, and was soon alongside the SLAYER. He
sounied her side ~ih great agility, lespt upon her
deck, (oow clear of negroes) end placing himself in
the attitude Of one about to make a speech, With one
hand pointing upward, addressed the Captain thus:

entirely opposed 10 each other, and let me tell you,
Q Captain, as one increases, the other must Decline
, we VIrgiaians must look to that. Every negro carri-
ed from Africa into Bruz,l, Porto-Rico, or Cuba,
helps TO swell the amount Of sugar produced in those
countries, and consequently to lower its price in the
markets of the world. The resul, of this Is 10 lessen
he profits Of the Louisiana sugar planters, and con.
sequen''y 10 diminish the demand for slaves. In such
a state OF things, the slave breeding states must either
keep their negroes at home, or soil them for a mere
song. The latter they would not do, and keeping
them at home would soon lead to Tho abolition Of sla-
very in all the northern slave states. You see, sir,
we must put down The African slave trade
