We were not here the slow imita- tors of others, but rather the noble exemplar, that they have tardily followed. And, that this act might be still more effectual in the destruction of the foreign slave-trade, it was, on the 10th of May, 1800, supple- mented by another; which declared " that no citizen or resident of the United Stat...es should own, or have any right of property in any ship or vessel engaged in the slave-trade anywhere upon the sea, no matter from what place or port it might sail.
