Slavery in Liberia.
From the Free Presbyterian.

Lieut.. FoRBEs was appointed by the Brit
ish government to negotiate with the King
of Dahomey, for the suppression of the slave
trade in his dominions. While on that mis-
sion he explored portions of the interior OF
Africa, aud euumerates among the difficult
ties in the way of the suppression of the
slave trade the fact that Liberia giues coun-
tenance and aid 10 The Sldue trdde"-thut " she
buys SidueS from the interior for her oion use"
The following testimony from the work OF
Lieut.. FoRBEs, entitled I" Dahomey and the
DalIonans," is given 10y the London cores
pondent of the .NeiU York Evangelist:
"In Liberia there is as much, il not more,
domestic slWery-that is, buying and selling
of Gods mage-as in the parent States OF
America, over which llaunts the flag of Lib.

lishmen."
"a letter from Mr.. Forbes, r. N, con-
firms the accounts given of slavery in Libe-
ria. lie says: "That the citizens of Liberia
are guilty of buying and holding slaves, had

A CARD.

TO THE PEOPLE OF BOSTON,
The under signed received during their late
visit TO Boston, at the hands Of the good peo-
pie of that city, so much marked kindness,
attention, courtesy, and aid, that they feel It
TO be their duty to make some formal and
public acknowledgment of it.
We went to Boston in the pursuit OF flu
gtive slave, as entire strangers, with one or
two letters of introduction, and possessing no
claim whatever on the people OF that CITY,
Under these circumstances we were most
Hospitality received, and were surrounded
during our stay there by many hundreds OF
gentlemen who aided us by every means III
their power. The merchants OF the city IN
particular were conspicuous in their efforts
TO serve us. II would give us pleasure 10
enumerate some of these individuals, but
their numbers were so great that il would be
wrong TO parlicularize. To Marshal Tukey,
officer o. A. Butman, and the Boston police
generally, we are indebted for the most efii-
cient service and friendly advice. Indeed
our reception could not we'll have been more
kind and encouraging. From letters which
can he seen, now in our possession, coming
from merchants of high standing, we make
no doubt that we could.have Obtained securi-
~ lhad it been required) to the amount ol
millions of dollars. Every thing we saw and
heard in Boston has left on our minds the
strong and enduring impression that the res
pectable citizens of that place IRE law-abl-
ding peOple-determned to sec the laws ex-
ecuted, and determined to do justice to the
South. We venture to remark, in conclti-
sion, that the recovery of another slave there
would be attended with hut little trouble or
expense. JOHN B. BACON,

SYRACUSE, N. Y, May 10, 1851.

My DEAR SrR:-I hasten to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of this mornings
date. have perused il with the liveliest
emotions of pleasure ;-emotions arising not
more from the fact, that you have done JUS
tice TO the motives and intentions which in
flucnced me last evening, than from the cir
cumstance, that you have done justice to
your own generous and noble nature. Let
me follow your example.
deeply regret, that during my speech,
was rot sufficiently collected and sclf-con-
lrolled, TO make it apparent beyond the pos
sibilty of mistake and misconstrllction that
the strong language which ! employed was
not in the most remote sense meant TO apply
to you, but to that Northern apologist of
Slavery, who, without one of the excuses of
the Shareholder, deliberately and gratuitously
defends the institution, and makes it his bu-
sness to misrepresent, denounce and villify
the friends of the oppressed. Let me also
assure you that my remarks upon the charge
brought against abolitionists, of harshness
aud injustice, were intended rather for
class OF persons in the Free States, who seek
to Justify their own indifference by such
complaints, than for YOURSELF although i am
bound TO confess, that the general vindica-
ton which deemed il my duty TO offer, was
suggested by the observations which fell
from you. Permit me, further, to say, that
the objects which and those with whom,
cooperate in the AntiSlavery cause have in
view, in our epilhets, aud (so- -called) denun-
Citations, is TO fix, if possible, just aud sal
utary stigma upon the transcendent crime OF
making merchandise of human and immor-
tai beings aud upon the perpetrators of the
atrocity; and not TO hold up the Shareholder
as a victim to be visited with special ven-
geance from his lelIow-creatures. Were we
allowed to accomplish the utmost that we
aim at, our efforts would embrace the re-
demptlon of the wrong doer from his infany
and danger, equally with the deliverance Of
the slave from his degradation and chains.
j very gratefully appreciate the magnani-
nous sentiments you nre pleased to express
towards me, and can now scarcely deplore
the nloneniary collision which my error and
your consequent irritation occasloned, since
Il has led to a development of character
which has raised you SO much higher in my
estimation aud esteem.
Trusting that this mutual explanation will
cement an acquaintance which had sin
cere pleasure in forming, believe me, most
truly,
Your friend,
GEORGE THOMPSON.

mind, purposely, blank aud empty of know

ti,y in either sex almost an impossibiIity,

one word which may he construed by any
person into justification of such attacks.

for you, MS one of the noblest and most elo-

which you experienced on your first visit 10
this country, filled me with the lveicst in

your subsequent rise TO influence and fame
in your own country, with peculiar pleasure.
Your present visit to this country, has given
to no one greater pleasure than to me. Your
bearing has been manly and noble under tho
grossest and most brutal attacks of cor
