The " Peripatetic Philosopher" writing in the Australian says:—" Two friends of mine made a handsome income out of slaving. They were brothers and tolerably alike. Having no money, John painted Thomas a Me bronze, and sold him to a planter. Thomas escapes, comes to town, paints John, and sells him to another planter. John washes himself, and walks out in the morning a free man. They are now highly respectable people, and own slaves themselves."
