"Unlimited power, " says Newton, "when the heart by long familiarity with the suffering of slaves is become callous and insensible to the pleadings of humanity, is terrible. I have seen them sentenced to unmerciful whippings, until the poor creatures had not power enough to groan. I have seen them agonizing for hours, — I believe for days, — under the torture of the thumb-screws. " He stated that often he had heard a captain boast, that after repressing an attempt of his cargo of slaves to esca...pe, "he studied with no small attention how to make the death of the leaders as excruciating as possible. " Four times did Newton cross the Atlantic in command of a slave-ship. Of his cargo about one- fourth were children; and in selling them upon their arrival in South Carolina or the West Indies, the idea of keeping children with their parents "was never even thought of; they were separated as sheep and lambs are separated by the butcher. "* Against personal testimony of eye-witnesses to its cruelty, how did those who were pecuniarily interested in maintain- ing the slave-trade manage to prevent all legal interference for nearly twenty years ?
