NAL planters in fetching "aborers' from Abera,
cannot be devoted to the coincidence.
Whence, then, the anxiety Of chiefs and Presi-
dents on the spot to induce the French captain to
make up his number on their coast? Some of the
antecedents of the authorities of the republic may
throw some light on the matter When commerce
Is nat and cotton and slaves cheap in the United
States cargoes of helpless negroes are shoveled out
on the African coast, and there Is no knowing what
little work on foot and destitution drives SO many
to theft that the settlement Is in chronic state of
famine and all the evils which attend upon it. or
all visitors-up TO a recent time-the most welcome
traders, who would lay down doubloons and take
away starving negroes A large proportion Of the
small trade of the colony was carried on with slave
traders; and one branch Of colonial manu-
facture was years SINCE shackles for the slave
ships zone of the Secretaries of the colony was for
long time in the service of slave trader within
the territory, and the Governor afforded such faci
ties for slave trading that two markets actually ex
isted-one at New Sesters and another at Gallnas
As for the colonists who were rich enough to EN-.
ploy labor, they frequently purchased slaves, and
advised others to do as the only means Of obtain
ing steady service. Again, slavers condemned at
Sierra Leone have been occasionally purchased by
citizens of Monrovia, through just such an agency
as Captain Simon may have found at his command,
and handed over to slave traders. These facts may
enable us to see how certain authorities in the
French scheme, and how others, or they them
selves may have been unable to deliver up the
escaped 'murderers." They justify the claim
urged by Lords Brougham and Grey for explanation
as to whether the "emigrants' were shackled on
board the Regina Crli. We may see how it is pro
liable that this particular set of negroes not kid
mapped up the country but might be easily tempted
to go on board, in hope OF leaving place where
they could not live their wretched forerunners
have often said. We may understand how, if they
found themselves treated as slaves on board, the
remembrance of their former slavery prompted them
to escape. We may understand how good deal
may remain to be explained; and also how, amidst
sundry cross purposes, there may be providentia
arrangement" as clerical shareholders are wont to
say, by which the negroes whom 1t suits American
planters to deport may find their way to French
colonial planters to whom it is convenient to import
them. Liberia has been repeatedly exposed as a
slave market since it was called republic II is for
the parties to certain treaties to that it is not
now, by circuitous, any more than direct process.
