Rr,,,.h Ant,-sl.ve Trade philanthropy.

Canot's book on the African Slave Trade relates
characteristic incident, illustrative of the holowness
Of at least half the blatant philanthropy OF the present
times, and we suppose of past times also II seems
that Canot, after twenty years spent in the slave
trade got sick of it, and with view of carrying on
lawful traffic, bought from an African potentate
certain amount of territory at Cape Mount some
where on the coast, not far from Monrovia, and es
tablished factory, for the purpose of trading win
the natives for the products Of industry. The OH
GERS of the vessels composing the British squadron
on the coast used to call for supplies, and frequently
partook of the hospitality of the reformed SLAYER On
one OCCASION while some of these officers were at dim
ner with him. the native prince with rabble OF negroes
at his heels, burst in upon them, baving a native
gambler, naked and with rope round his neck and
stated that the fellow had gambed off, first, every
thing he could rase and afterwards staked and lost
to him one leg-tben the other leg-then his arms
then his head-and finally all the rest of himself
The savage came 10 if any OF the white men
would buy his prize, otherwise he would take him
down to the beach and cut his throat which ne GER
tainly would and could do, according to African
usage. Twenty dollars would save the fellows life
and yet the ultra philanhropc guests sat perfectly
ouiescent, and cooly let the colored brother be
carried out 10 execution Canot privately whispered
to his clerk, who bought the gambler and saved his
life Subsequently the transaction came TO the
knowledge of the philanthroplsts and was marked
in black characters against the man who dealt IN hu
