" The horrors of the middle passage, as the transportation of the slaves from the ports in Africa, to the countries where they are sold, is called, ...are so well known to every reading man, that I shall only present one instance of the revelations made by the capture of a slaver, with the view of aflbrding an idea of the capacity of our Libe- ria colony to receive and provide for emigrants who may land upon its territory. The Pons, a slave ship on the coast of Africa, was captured by an American vessel, in December, 1845, and her cargo of slaves landed at Monrovia, and provided for by the Liberians. She had eight hun- dred and sixty-six slaves on board, eighteen of whom died during the night after the capture.
