Emancipation and Colonization,

The African slave trade was first Inaugural
ted in America during the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, some three hundred years ago, and
was continued under the auspices Of tho
British crown for nearly or quite two centu-
ries. There was scarcely one of the thirteen
colonies into which the institution of African
slavery was not introduced, and established
in the face of repeated protests, on the part
of the people, to the King and Parliament of
Great Britain; and, although the people OF
the more nothern colonies soon discovered the
inadaptaton of their rugged soil and ungenial
climate to slave labor, they nevertheless con-
tinued to be the principal carriers of slaves
from Africa to the more southern colonies
long after they had ceased to import for them
selves, and after our country had thrown of
her colonial shackles, and even up to the time
whom the slave trade was prohibited by ac
of Congress.
The fortunes which have in times past beer
accumulated by the purchase of negroes OF
the African coast and their sale to southern
planters were mostly amassed by people re
siding in those States where slavery had lonl
been abolished by law. Moreover, from tn
time when the northern States began to de
clare that children of slave mothers thereafte
born should be free, the slaves in those State
began to decline in their market value, an
many owners, actuated by self-interest, trans
ported their slaves to the more southern State
for better markets Thusit will be observe
that the responsibility for the evil of SLAYER
in the southern States rests not alone upo
the people of those States. If slavery be
social, political, and moral evil, which yer
few will at this day deny, it is so in nation
al, and not merely in local sense, and tf
responsibility for the curses it entails upo
the country is alike national. 1t is also b
leved, whatever arguments may be adduc(
t to the contrary, that the native instincts
| every candid man instruct him that if o'
, country had never known the institution
