See them yet sicken and die, from the deadly vapois in- haled on the slave ship ! ! Now, if, perchance, friends, and parts of families, and old acquaintances have kept together, they are parted, to go, one here to the cane field, another to the cotton plantation, to see each other no more. They are ordered by tongues unintelligible — they are beaten, because ihey obey not, till death relieves them. Thus we have very briefly glanced at how the slaves are obtained. The reader must judge of the ^^... benefits^* of the process. And how much ^'better of" than in their balmy homes and happy families, ihey are, thus far, in our investigation, let every honest mind answer. And who are to be held responsible for all the hor- rible cruelties endured in Africa — for all the murders of tens of thousands, yearly, in obtaining them — for all the horrors of the barracoons — for the untold, and unspeak- able agonies of the ** middle passage, " and the shocking deaths of countless unoffending human beings on the sea 1 Who 1 In which side of the balances are these things to be placed 1 and where is the *^ good'"' to coun- terbalance ?
