sepblance to th4 slave barracOons oi bygone days

humane Christian world and entail lasting disgrace
upon this Government, this Government cannot grant
your request. "
From my knowledge of the native character on this
coast feel confident in the belief that three or four
days at each port will enable you to ascertain how
many voluntary emgrants are to be procured at each
place. As the feople from the Interior never emgrate

three or four days very apt to be constrained.
am therefore, Of opinion that if you have spent that
number OF days at each point and have not procured

likely you will be able to do if you remain this
coast year.
Though make these suggestions to you relative TO
the native character, yet they not intended to de-
