Genius of Universal Emancipation, Vol. 2

There is an affecting picture of a portion of the miseries which slavery entails upon our sex, conveyed in the following paragraph from the Washington Spectator. The system of traffic to which it alludes, and men who are engaged in it, are the foulest blot that ever disgraced a country. It is no uncommon thing to see a young female slave, on ascertaining that she has been purchased by one of the merciless traders for the southern market, ?ying from house to house, endeavoring to sell herself for a higher price than that for which she has been bartered away, so that she may be able to satisfy the de mands of her rapacious purchaser, and live and die among her relations.
