THREE MODES FOR SUPPRESSING THE SLAVE TRADE,

WE cannot too often nor too solemnly call the attention of our readers to the fact, that the slave trade, in all its infamy, is at the present moment going on and flourishing, and extending to a most lamentable degree.. There ought to break forth from every part of this country, nay from every part of the civilized world, a burst of indignation at the continuance of such cruelties! Such positive, unmitigated evil as is practised in that disgraceful traffic, ought to be denounced by the voice of every enlightened nation, and driven from the earth. Those who are engaged in this accursed trade are tearing out the very bowels of the African continent! They are enacting cruelties which have never been surpassed in either hemisphere, by all the blood-stained, gold-defiled annals of Spain and Portugal, in ages gone by, and for which those nations have earned an unenviable name of infamy, surpassing that earned by the most sordid and cruel of the human race. It is computed that at this very moment, twenty thou sand human beings, crowded in the small and narrow slave ships, are floating on the ocean between the land from which they have been torn and the mart to which they are destined. What a stream of horror! What cries, what groans must fill the air along their whole course! How many are Who can just breathing their last! How many just cast overboard! number the accumulated horrors on which the sun must daily look?

"Waves! what have ye heard on that ancient coast,
Where Egypt the might of her fame did boast?
Where the statue of Memnon saluted the morn,

And the pyramids tower in their giant scorn?"

"We have heard the curse of the slave ship's crew,
And the shriek of the chain'd, as the shores withdrew."

Without here going at all into detail, suffice it to say that the horrors of the slave trade, as now carried on, are so gigantic and shocking to humanity, as to call loudly for some relief. One of the most difficult problems which the benevolent have had to solve, has been as regards the

means to be employed most likely to cure this tremenduous evil. Two
