Of the newer and more sickly portions Of the
South. The average life OF slave laborers
on sugar plantations does not exceed FIVE

There are two slave markets, or pens, in
the city, where human beings are confined
like cattle, and exposed for examination
aud sale. They are here, and also at New
Orleans, arranged upon the sidewalk for
inspection, precisely as a merchant would
expose his gonds, or a mechanic his wares.
Negro auctions, where men, women and
children are sold in the street TO the highest
bidder, are Of almost everyday occurrence.
