THE SLAVE-SPECULATOR.
DICK JENNINGS the slave-speculator, was one of the few Northern men, who go to the South and throw aside their honest mode of obtaining a living and resort to trading in human beings.

A more repulsive-looking person could scarcely be found in any community of bad looking men.

Tall, lean and lank, with high cheek-bones, face much pitted with the small-pox, gray eyes with red eyebrows, and sandy whiskers, he indeed stood alone without mate or fellow in looks.

Jennings prided himself upon what he called his goodness of heat, and was always speaking of his humanity.
