In the same paper of January 25, 1843, directly under an advertisement for sale of "_a girl_ about 18 years of age, who is honest, industrious, and a good cook, fine washer and ironer, and a good seamstress," we find the notice of a "_Blooded colt_ at auction.--A thorough bred colt, two years old the coming spring, got by Farmer, dam by Lafayette"!

Also choice raisins of the sun, gunpowder, Newcastle glass, in crates and boxes." Not only are slaves thus placed on the same level with other property, but they are treated in the same manner.
