We have referred TO the disposition of this
fanatical race to pluck notes from the eyes OF
other men, whilst they are constantly over
looking the beams in their own. 1t is not only
the fact that they have themselves had slaves
and never liberated them till they became un.
profitable, that they have carried on the slave
trade, and that it is principally their own ships
and crews who are still engaged in it. but they
make kitchen slaves OF their own wives anc
