and which were to the following effect, viz. :

That this House is anxious for the accomplishment of these

%ebb Meeting desire further to express their high sense of
brablity, promptitude, and zeal with which, as appears from the
Deerrespondenee of Earl Bathurst with the Colonies, his
's Minister have laboured to entry these Parliamentaiy Re-
eler into effect ; and they deeply lament that the opposition of
freesia Authorities has hitherto succeeded In almost wholly
kiwi* their benevolent purposes and albite.
His is various official documents on the subject of Slavery,

Ministers, afford additional and incontestible evidence

terfeemee of the ill Legislature.
Tie base the emit sethentic sources of infoormition. this
&rise have learnt with regret, thoagh not with surprise, that the
Gloats! Legislature have either treated the recorded wishes of
Polimeet, and the beneficent recommendations and urgent re-
Illeileem of his Majesty's Government with neglect, or have
laden with deed/ll:opposition ; and that even in those Colo.
see elmeattempts haittes been made to frame an ameliorated Slave
Cis, the new enactments manifest the same substantial disregard
die mast sacred principles of justice which characterised the old ;
Mt is existing laws, in their practical administration, evidently
die so effectual protection to the Slaves, anti have been made, on
Illy recent Occasions. an instrument of the most grievous judi.
tisloppreasion ; and that the general treatment of the Slaves conti.
ems to exhibit the same harsh and disgusting effects of the domes.
idol:mom prevailing in the ('olonies, which first excited the in-
Opera feelings of the British Public, and which should now lead
ss fixed determination, on the pa-t of every individual who values
British freedom, or the blessings of Christianity, to do his utmost
to rrert,:t their continuance.
That this Meeting are further anxious to record their con.
senors thst this unjust and immoral system as it exists in the
British Colonies, derives great support from ;hose commercial re.
rainier*, which, by conferring bounties, and protecting duties on
tre pmilece of Slave Labour, not only materially enhance its price
it he British consumer, but increase the miseries of the Slaves,
eel render their liberation noire difficult.

That if called upon by Parliament to contribute to the same,
Siren toa much larger extent, foe the purpose of extinguishing
Snery, than they now pay for its support, this Meeting would
torridly obey the call; but that to the existing regulations of the
faloinal Trade they entertain insuperable objections; because,
rhle these regulations violate the recognised principles of sound
ammercial policy, and impose on the nation a heavy pecuniary
halm for the maintenance of Slavery, they tend to counteract the
**of Its reformation, they serve to aggravate and perpetuate its
eh; and they involve the people of this country still more deeply
al the guilt of upholding it.
That it appears to this Meeting to be their bounden duty, and
that of every individual who acknowledges the claims of humanity
led justice, to promote with all their influence the fulfilment of
lit pledge given by the Government and parliament in 1823, on
this subject and foe that purpose to lose an time in earnestly and
ItAPtiiitllly Petitioning both Houses of Parliament, that they will
be Pleased to take the great work of Colonial Reformation into their
we host ; and in accordance with their own Revolutions, and the
wpbell sad prayers of the nation at large, to bring the state of
..Verf itself to the earliest practicable termlnstion in every part of
bity's dom
& Tbat the following Petition to both Houses of Parliament,
Ilmoded on the above Resolutions, be adopted as the Petition of
