IM will immediately retrograde in his moral and social condition. ~.: • . To obviate, therefore,the disgraceful practice often: . day marketing, and 'to enable the slaves to devote that day to religiose instruction. and to the purposes for which it was originally designed, the Committee sug gests, that the adults on each property be divided in ,fa 'maim into three or four classes, and that each class be allowed a day in every week to dispose of in a way most desirable to.themselves. By this plan the cultivation of tfre master's property will not be greatly . impeded; each slave will 'have an opportunity, once ,in three or four weeks (some Member in each family once in every week) of banes ing his consmodities, or pursuing any other ob ject of business or of pleasure. But the abolition of the Sunday market, with all the regulations necessarily at' tached to such a measure, must be left to the wisdom the Legislative. • licsolutione.—l. That an Association be formed for the purposif ' of affording Religious Iristruction to the Slave Population. S. That regulations for carrying this object into effect be drawn up, and signed by each Member of the Association, as a pledge his observing the same, and causing them to be obeerveckby all under his influence and authority. . 3. That the ordinary routine of instruction by catecbistr; or tubas dinate instructors, be on Sunday. 4. Tnat all the younger population he compelled to attend reli gious instruction on Sunday; and that all inbtrUction be strictly oral; to commence with prayers and a lecture; to which May be added any • other mode of religious instruction that the Clergy may recommend; and that the adult population be invited and encouraged to attend. 5. That it be strongirrecommeoded to the proprietors of estates, Of their rtgresentatives, to provide such instructors or catechists as slt3ll be approved of by the Rector (or the officiating Minister) of. the parish, for their moral character, and who shall he well qualified to instruct the slaves in their religious duties. We have also been favoured with the following ad dress, delivered by Mr. Barrow, and with the reply of • Mr. Hamden Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: Pre vious to the d6solution of this Meeting I must solicit your attention for a moment. The difficulty which al - ways presents itself to me in addressing an audience, and the few words that are requisite on this occasion to explain sty wishes, preclude either the desire or neces sity rf trespa.sing long on your patience. •After the discussion which has just taken place, and which has for its object the eternal welfare of our slaves, 1 think we may be permitted to turn our thoughti for an instant to oar temporal concerns. There is not a person who hears me, I venture to say, who does not look with a fhartill eye at the cloud which has been long suspended over our ill-fated Colony. The calumnies which are • daily and houtly circulated in the mother country to • ear prejudice, and which have had so powerful an ef fect (it would appear) as to call 'forth those ill-ad vised inErections to our Legislature from the Right • Honourable - Secretary for the Colonies, conspire to reader our situation one of apprehension and dismay. • But, Mr. Chairman, I am one of (perhaps) a few, -who Zan never consider our cause as hopeless, as long as we • have men amongst us, who have not only the courage, but the ability, to step forward, and manfully assert our rights and privileges. Most of you, Gentlemen, no doubt. have pet used the speech which has been so elo quently delivered belore the Legislative Council. it not flash conviction to every unprejudiced mind ? • may be sanguine, Mr. Chairman, but a gleam of hope breaks in upon me; and I think I see, in this argumenta tive and philosophical address, the fostering hand that mty shelter us fiom the pitiless storm. Mr. Chairman, I feel an honest pride in calling that man my country man, whose talents have been so eminently and con spicuously exercised in out behalf; and whose cha racter' for honour and integrity, cannot be surpassed. These last qualifications, Gentlemen, will, I trust, give due weight to his arguments. Any attempt to eulogise my Hun. Friend, Mr. Hamden, would be presumptuous, even if I hid the ability (which I have not) to do justice to bias. - khatscomium will be found in the hearts of all present; to these I shall refer you, Gentlemen; and therefore. Mr. Chairmin, I shall conclude with moving, 4 That doe thanks of this Meeting be presented to Mr. Manidea..
