English SLAVE T'udc-7estimony of Ne,o Com
misSioneyS.
The people of the United States, who have had
so much faith in the English professions about the
slave trade may think it little extraordinary that
any one should dare to speak of the English slave
trade; but IN addition to the concealed and dis
guIsed traffic which they have been carrying on
continually, they are preparing, under the lead of
the English government, to throw off appearances and
to enter largely into the business Their sugar plan
tations want slaves to work them and they are pre-
pairing to seize them in Africa, and transport them
when they are wanted. The first public movement
wards this end, was the speech and motion of Lord
John Russell, in Parliament, to which have called
public attention This has been followed up by speech
es from other members; vote Of the House, in favor
of the measure; and is published the testimony of
an English commission, and the arguments Of the
Commissioners, to prove that the English naval fleet
which they made SO much parade about placing upon
the African coast, have really increased both the
