That this Meeting, deeply impressed with a sense of the impor-
tant services rendered to the cause of humanity and freedom by
their esteemed guests, A. L. Palmer, M.D., and Charles Harvey,
Esq., solicitor, of Jamaica, as advocates of the cause of the op-
pressed Negroes in our Vest India Colonies, and appreciating 'the

pend upon the determined and zealous support of the friends of the
Negro in this country.
2. On the motion of the Rev. T. M. M‘DONNELI., seconded by
JOHN SCOBLE, Esq.
That this Meeting, congratulating the friends of freedom in the
Colonies on the triumph of justice and humanity now so success-
fully achieved, entertains the hope and the belief that the enfran-
chised population not only have acquired personal freedom, but are
legally invested with efficient powers of self-protection. This
Meeting invites the manumitted classes to the constitutional exer-
cise of those powers, and encourages them to rely on their own
peaceful and persevering efforts for the removal of very vestige of
oppression ; and anticipates, as the certain consequence of such
efforts, with the continued, vigilant aid of the British people, under
the blessing of Divine Providence, the progressive development of
the glorious results of free institutions, and the re-construction, on
purer and better principles, of the now disorganised elements of
Colonial society.

EDWARD FOSTER, Esq., of Cambridge.
This Meeting desire to record their sense of the unwearied

various denominations in the British Colonies, and attribute to
them the past admirable conduct of the Negro population ; antici-
pating also, from a continuance of their Christian labours and in-
fluence, such a glorious consummation of the work of emancipation
as shall convince the world of the justice and policy of universal
freedom.
