AN PI•SLAVENY SOCIETY. -..iiiw.... This laudable Society has lately published an import ant pamphlet, containing the substance of the debate on the 15th of May, on Mr. Buxton's motion, with a preface and appendixes, containing " facts and reasonings illustra ►iveot Colonial Bondage." The following extract fro►n the Report of the Committee of the Society, cannot fail to be read with interest : It was of the very highest importance that his Majesty's Government and Parliament should be concurrently and unanimously pledged to so unequivocal a declaration of the duty of effectually mitigating and eventually extinguish ing the state of Colonial bondage; especially as that de claration, while it placed on record this invaluable princi ple, did not preclude the discussion either of any one of the specitic measures of reform above enumerated, or of the meaas by which, with a view to the attainment of the general object, those measures might best be carried into effect. The unqualified acquiescence of the West-Indian body in the desolations proposed by Mr. Canning, male it still more desirable to accede to them. Even the advantle to he gained by carrying the original Motion on a division, had this been a matter of choke, was not to be compared with that with% could not fail to arise front tae unanimous adoption of propositions :co unexceptionable in thetuselve., brought torward as they had been by his Maj-sty's tors, and not opposed by any West-Indian proprietor in Parliament. There still remained, however, considerable difference of opinion, with respect both to the specifio plans of reform witch were called for, and to the means by which those plans should he accompli had. On this last point, Mr. Coining propasnl that the Government should take the matter into their own bands. By this course, he conceived, that whateve: danger was to be apprehended from public, and perhaps angry, discus sion, might be avoided, while the eanti cting interests ni the various parties concerned might be more easily con ate& 111th respect to such of the Colonies as bait no local Legialiviires, and in which the Crown possessed the sole power of matting laws, the action of the Government would 0 co3r 4F , bQ gr...re free and unfetteres'.. There they might PRICE SEVEN PgNCE. legislate by an Order in Council, which would also serve as a modelof legislation for the other Colonies. In the case of the latter, all that it was intended to tin, in the first in- • stance, was, to recommend the adop:ion of the proposed re form to the Colonial I.e.:Matures, whose foil and isle co operation, however, Parliament, he said, had a right ti ex pect; but, if an un'ooked-for spirit of resistance should manifest itself, his Majesty's Government would then resort to Parliament fur counsel. In specifying the measures which his Majesty's fisvern ment had signified their intention of adopting, the Com• mittee will not cot.line the specification to what actually fell from Mr. Canning during the debate oti Mr. Buxton's mo tion. Subsequent communications have enabled them t. modify the statement then made, so as to present, if not particular and detailed, vet a clear general view of the preser , t purposes of his Majesty's Government. They are as follow:-- That the existing obstructions to manumissions, arising from stamps or fines, or other fiscal regulations, shall be removed ; That the Slaves shall be protected by law in the pos session, and also in the transmission, by beqaest or ether ise, of any property they may acquire;— That means shall be provided of religiuns instruction for the Shores, and of 2hristian education for their children; That the driving system shall be peremptorily and en tirely abolished, so that the whip shall no longer be the stimulant of labour; — That an e•al shall also be put to the degrading corporal punishment of females • and that measures shall b • taken to restrain, generally, ;he power of arbitrary punishment, and to prevent its abuse; — That the means of religious instruction being provided, the Sundays shall be given up to the Slaves fir rest, re creation, and religious instruction and worship (Sun lay markets being abolished); and that equivalent tint,. shall be allowed them, on other days, for the cultivation of their provision grounds;— That the marriage of Slaves shall be authorised and auctioned by law; and that they shall likewise be protect ad in the enjoyment of their connubial rights. In respect to the proposal of causing the Slaves to cease from being mere chattels, and attaching them, under cer tain modifications, to the soil, it was said, that whatever reform of this kind was introduced must he prospective only, as its retrospectEe operation might disturb the pre sent tenure of property, and take away, in many case. the only security on which 'looney had been ale:Laced. The question was, therefore, reserved for further cctisitiera tion. The admission of the testimony of Slaves in Courts of Justice %as also thought to be beset with so many difficul ties as to require a more deliberate investigation: At the same time, Governmentiprofes.sed themselves triett•llv to the principle of admitting the testimony of Slaves, stsCject only to such modifications as the interests of justice au:get fur a time require. The propriety of relieving Negroes and Persons of lour from the operation of that tinkle principle of C 01.18141 law which subjects then' to lie dealt a ith as Slaves, unless they shall be able by legal proof to establish their right to freedom, %%as admitted ; and it was sigui :etl Batt further inquiry should he male as to the means for granting them, the requisite relief. It was also admitted to be desirable that no tiovernur, JudA, Attorney-General, Fiscal, nor any of the religions Instructors about to be appointed, should bold property in Slaves; and though it might he unfair to give to this prin. e/iple a retro-active effect, yet that there could he no objec tion to its being ni tde to operate prospectively. The only remaining points were, the granting facilities to the adult slaves to purchase their freedom ; and ;he libe ration from bondage of all children born after a certain day. In neither of these propositions have the Govern ment hitherto signified their concurrence. Indeed, to the measure of freeing all children born after a certain day, they appeared to feel a more decided objection than to any other that had been suggested. Both the points sera deemed of so much moment as to render further information and more mature consideration necessary, before they came to a final decision upon them. In reviewing the Resolutions adopted by Parliament, aid the declared intentions of his Majesty's Government, the Committee see very abundant cause of congratulation. They feel much gratified both by the admissions which they in volve ; and by the concurrent determination, which has been expressed by his Majesty's Government and by Parliament to proceed to the immediate redross of some of the existing evils, and to secure eventually the extinction of the very state of slavery. Still the Committee deeply regret that the mode of pro ceeding by Parliamentary enactment, in effecting the Colo nial reforms which have been recognised as necessary should not have been preferred to that of leaving this great work to be cartiod ou through the medium of the Culunial Legislatures. Past experience, to say the least, discourages any sanguine hops of their prompt, cordial, and efficient co-oomation; and the Committee, therefore, lay their ac e, nut in meeting with much delay and disappointment, as the eons..yet nee of this arrangement. But, insides this advantage, it mast be recollected that there are some points, of great and vital moment, on which no distinct hope of reform has as yet been given. It has not been declared that Slaves shall cease to be chattels ; that they sh ill no longer continue, in this respect, as well as for every other purpose of sale or transfer, on the same degrading level with the beasts of the field. They are stilt liable to be transported, as the master's interest or caprice may dictate, front one Island to another, and separated for ever from their families and dearest connexions, and front their naive home. It has not yet been s-ttled, that their testimony shall be received in Courts of Law, although without this the value of many other provisions in their ':nettle must be g eatly diminished. No expectation has yet been given that they shall enjoy facilities for obtaining their freedom by their own exertions.
