Concentration of Slavery All accounts concur in representing the internal slave traders as uncommonly active this year. The price paid for human flesh is 20 to 50 per cent higher that it was two years ago, and the whites in Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky are ‘colonizing’ the extreme south at least 100 times faster than they are colonizing Africa. The bearing of this process upon the ultimate extermination of slavery, must be determined by the lapse of time.
