While the laws of the United States denounce the foreign slave trade as piracy, and punish witli death those who are found engaged in its perpetration, there exists in tiiis District, the Seat of the Na- tional Government, a domestic slave trade, scarcely less disgraceful in its character, and even more demoralizing in its influence. For this is not, like the former, carried on against a barbarous nation ; its victims are reared uj) among the People of this country ; educated iji the precepts o...f the same religion ; and imbued with similar domestic attachments.
These people are, without their consent, torn from their homes ; husband and wife are frequently separated, and s« Id into distant jmrts; children are taken from their parents witliout regard to the tics of nature; and tlie most endearing bonds of affection are broken forever.
Nor is tins tratlic confined to those who are legally slaves for life. Some who are entitled to freedom, and many who have a limited time to serve, are sold into unconditional slavery, and, owing to the de- fectiveness of our laws, they are generally carried out of tlie District before the necessary steps can be taken for their release.
