JOHN VAUGHAN,
From the United States Chronicle.
Mr. Wheeler,
Please to insert the following observations
in the Chronicle, and oblige the friends
of justice and humanity.
IT appears by information from Suri
nam, that the brigantine Nancy, of this
port, commanded by Joseph B. Cook, had
arrived at that place, with a cargo of
/laves from the coast of Africa ; and that
during the pairage, they made an attempt
to recover that liberty with which they
were endowed by the common Parent of
the Universe, and of which they could
not have been deprived without the molt
outrageous violation of every principle of
Religion, Jullice, and Humility ; but in
consequence of this laudable attempt to as
sert their natural and unalienable right,
several of their number were destroyed by
the Captain and crew of tire brig. It may
perhaps be alledged, in extenuation of the
crime, that the white people only a£ed in
felf-defence but the reply is obvious.
Who were the aggrefTors ? Who forced
the wretched Africans from their native
country—from all the tender and endear
ing attachments of husband, parent and
child ? Who crowded them into the hold
of the Vefiel, or as Mr. Wilberforce em
phatically stiles it—" The floating Jhop for
the sale of human flejh." who by such base
and barbarous means, provoked them to
a natural and jull rcfiftance.
Should we condemn a number of Ame
cans for rising on the crew of an Alge
rine cruizer ? Should we not rather ap
plaud and wiffi them success. May not
the barbarians of Algiers retort on our
African slave traders, the severe rebuke of
an infpiredapoftle, "Thou that fayeft a
man fliould not steal, dost thou steal ?"■—
Can they who are concerned in the detes
table slave trade, and are thus accessory
to theimurder, and the misery of so ma
ny of their fello* creatures, can they en
joy the profits resulting from the ' blood
stained traffic! Can they reflect on the
tears, the groans, and the agony of the
wretches whom they have reduced ro such
complicated fufferings, and not feel their
fouls harrowed with the most painful re
morse ; but by whatever arts they may
now sooth orfupprefs the upbraidings of
conscience, the time is afluredly approach
rng when they will forrowfully realize
this sacred declaration, " Verily there is a
GOD who judgeth in the earth, who
will render to every man according to his
works ;" and as He hath been pleased to
ordain civil government " for a terror to
evil doers," surely it is incumbent on the
ftrongarm of the National Legiflatureto
exert itfelf in the prevention of Crimes
more abhorrent than those which the In
dians on our frontiers frequently perpe
tratd on the defencelefs inhabitants
those savages with refpeft to Divine rev
elation " fit in darkness," while we are
indulged with the meridian splendor of
gospel light ; we boast the most accurate
knowledge of the rights of man, and ex
ult in having been the fuccefsful defend
ers of those rights ; —they in many in
stances only avenge the wrongs they have
fuffered, while our Slave-Traders fend
to a distant country, seize on the inno
cent and unoffending natives, and com
pel them to a state of the most cruel
slavery—but this abominable traffic in
our own species is not only repugnant to
the di&ates of that Revelation which in
forms us, that " GOD hath made of one
blood all nations" but the feelings of hu
manity are shocked at the fad recital of
the attrocious crimes which are insepa
rably ccmnefted with the odious practice ;
and philosophy, by the elegant pen of a
Raynal, reprobates it in language too
pointed to be omitted in this animad
version. " The Highwayman (fays the
" Abbe) attacks you, and takes your mo
ney, the Slave-Trader carries olf even
your person the one invades the
rights of society—the other those of
nature; —this ceitainly it the truth, and
RTI S E
[Whole No. 505, j
if there exiiled a religion which authori
zed only by its iilence such horrors ; it it
did not. continually denounce vengcance
againfi the authors, and the instruments
of this tyranny —if fucb a religion exit
ed, the minister and the altar ought to Lc
crushed in one common ruin."
Il it should be thought that the fevcri
ty of censure contained in this publica
tion requires an apology, the writer would
borrow one from Mr. Pitt's admirable
speech in the British House of Commons
—after describing, in terms of the most
pathetic eloquence, the matchless horrors
of this nefarious trade—he adds—" I
know, Sir, 1 slate this fubjeft with
warmth ! I feel it is impofiiblc for me
not to do so—or, if it were I should c?c
teft myfelf for the exercise of moderation.
I cannot without fufiering every feeling,
and every pafiiori that ought to rife in the
Cause of Humanity, to deep within me,
speak coolly upon such* a fubjeft. There
is no excuse for vs, feeing this infernal
traffic as we do, it is the very death of
Justice to utter a fyliable in support of
it."
In committee of the 'whole on Air, Madison's
Mr. Giles commenced his remarks by
observing that if an apology had been
deemed neceflarv from the nature of the
fubjeft, and the vote he proposed to give
upon it, it was rendered more so from the
eloquence displayed by the gentleman who
had just preceded him. (Mr. Dexter of
Maflachufetis.) The gentleman ■. s done
ample justice to one fide of the fubjeft,
and he was sensible the opposite fide in
his hands, would fuffer by the companion.
He proposed under his present impres
sions to vote for the general proportion,
and such of the resolutions in detail as
would can y the general principle into full
efFeft.
These measures contemplate eonfidera
ble innovations in the existing (late of the
commerce of the United States. He had
anticipated the 'gentleman last up, in the
refle&ion that extensive innovations into
existing fyftems,ought to be ad6pted with
caution. Calculations upan which they
are founded, (hould be adjusted to the
magnitude of the ejcpechd objedl ; and
the probable efficacy of the means propos
ed to be used for its attainment.
Hence he readily admitted, that flrong
reasons in favor of the proposed rfiea
fures ought to be expected before their
adoption; and any possible hazard of
their results, ought to be amply cornpen
fated for the importance of the end to
be attained.
He observed there was another circum
stance which juftilied an apology. The
mercantile interest of the United States
will be the moll immediately affeifled in
their occupations by the proposed mea
sures and the gentlemen of this bouse
from this scene of business, fcem moll to
doubt their expediency.
We have been told, with emphasis, tjf
the intelligence arid patriotism of the mer
chants of America, and it is admitted that
the truth has not been exceeded. The
merchants deserve great crecit for their
conduit since the exiftencc of the prefect
government ; and their opinions upon this
iubjeft ought to produce additional cau
tion.
It Ihould be remarked, however, that
merchants, like all other descriptions of
men, are influenced in some degree 'oy ex
isting connexions, formed habits, m l con
sequent prejudices—they recoil from ..iv
poflible interruption in the usual court:
of theu - bufinefts.
