satisfaction of the debt secured in said Deed of Trust. W.J. MINOR." From the "Milledgeville Journal," Dec. 26, 1837. "EXECUTOR'S SALE. "Agreeable to an order of the court of Wilkinson county, will be sold on the first Tuesday in April next, before the Court-house door in the town of Irwington, ONE NEGRO GIRL _about two years old_, named Rachel, belonging to the estate of William Chambers dec'd. Sold _for the benefit_ of the heirs and creditors of said estate. SAMUEL BELL, JESSE PEACOCK, Ex'ors." From the "Alexandria (D.C.) Gazette" Dec. 19. "I will give the highest cash price for likely negroes, _from 10 to 25 years of age_. GEO. KEPHART." From the "Southern Whig," March 2, 1838.-- "WILL be sold in La Grange, Troup county, one negro girl, by the name of Charity, aged about 10 or 12 years; as the property of Littleton L. Burk, to satisfy a mortgage fi. fa. from Troup Inferior Court, in favor of Daniel S. Robertson vs. said Burk." From the "Petersburgh (Va.) Constellation," March 18, 1837. "50 _Negroes wanted immediately_.--The subscriber will give a good market price for fifty likely negroes, _from 10 to 30 years of age_. HENRY DAVIS." The following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman, a native and still a resident of one of the slave states, and _still a slaveholder_. He is an elder in the Presbyterian Church, his letter is now before us, and his name is with the Executive Committee of the Am. Anti-slavery Society. "Permit me to say, that around this very place where I reside, slaves are brought almost constantly, and sold to Miss. and Orleans; that _it is usual_ to part families forever by such sales--the parents from the children and the children from the parents, of every size and age. A mother was taken not long since, in this town, from a _sucking child_, and sold to the lower country. Three young men I saw some time ago taken from this place in chains--while the mother of one of them, old and decrepid, _followed with tears and prayers her son, 18 or 20 miles, and bid him a final farewell_! O, thou Great Eternal, is this justice! is this equity!!--Equal Rights!!" We subjoin a few miscellaneous facts illustrating the INHUMANITY of slaveholding 'public opinion.' The shocking indifference manifested at the death of slaves as _human beings_, contrasted with the grief at their loss _as property_, is a true index to the public opinion of slaveholders.
