my. And then, too, according to law Of
the Koran, which allows four wives to
each believer, besides as many concubines
Gas their hands may possess" wealthy
and lecherous Muslims must have their
female slaves for the harem, and thus the
trade was carried on. Meanwhile the
representatives Of the European powers
that had procured the passage Of the law,
were too anxious to preserve the .'entiente

ish Empire" 10 make any very strong
protests against the system, and thus il
vas contuued. Now the European ab3li-
tionists view slavery through spectacles
brought from Richmond, and there being
il addition, the increased demand above
mentioned, caused by the great expansion
of cotton culture, the supply i found
keeping pace with the demand, aud the
result is great reviya! Of the slave
trade"
Thus in the natural order Of things, IS

it is adapted, and which row suffer so
terribly from its loss. TO the superior
wisdom and far seeing ssgacity Of the
South, aided by higher aad juster concep-
tions Of Coils will and laws, will be due
the credit Of having sustained it against
