NEGRO EMANCIPATION.
AT a Numerous MEETING of the ANTI-
SLAVERY DELEGATES, held this day at Exeter Hall,
WM. THOMAS BLAIR,
y•
the
Esq., of Bath, in the Chair,
of
The Resolutions of November 1"37 Laving been read by
Sect etaries, the following Resolution was unani...sly agreed
to :
(1 seconded by Dr. Beene, of
-Moved by WILLIAM ALLEN, Esq., an
Idintelrgh ;
" That the Anti-Slave,
ry Delegates take the earliest opportunity of
announcing their well:inching adherence to the great principles which
they avowed in >T:ovember last, and re-asserted when they assembled in
the month or., March—principles which have been responded to and
adopted We public meetings throughout the kingdom, unparalleled for
numbers, energy, and unanimity—and expressed in eeeees:es to the
Throne, memorials to the Government,
earnestly seeking justice in behalf e s!'.'e petitions to Parliament,
of Negro race.
" That all the events whieb have since transpired, whether ai home
or abroad, have only served to strengthen their determination to perse-
vere ; and relying on the goodness of their cause, the steady, and strenu-
ous support of the enlightened, moral, and religious classes of the com-
munity, everywhere awakened and alive to this vital question—and en
_the sanction and blessing of the God of Heaven—they resolve that no con-
tiderations shall deter or divert them from their righteous purpose; and
that they will not relax their exertions, nor retire from the struggle until
they have seen their fellow-subjects in the British Colonies released from
their present unnatural bondage, and their rights and liberties established
on the firm basis of Constitutional Law."
Moved by Professor EDGAR, and seconded by the Rev. Mr. l'beserete,
`That, whatever the decision of the House of Commons on Sir Eardley
Wilmot's motion may be, a Public Meeting of the fiends of immediate
Emancipation be held in Exeter Hall, on Friday next, and that Lord
Brougham be requested to take the chair."
AT a MEETING o the COMMITTEE of
the MANCHESTsR. and SALFORD ANTI-SLA-
VERY SOCIETY, h'l!.d the 16th May, 1838,
ISAAC CREWDSON, Esq. in the Chair.
It was resolved untsnimously,_
I. That this i_lommittee IS of opinion that the representatives of
the Borough. of Manchester did not, by their concurrence in the
Act passed in the year 18.13, fulfil those declarations of sympathy
with thss Slaves in the British Colonies, and of determination to
exert 'themselves in favour of immediate Emancipation, which were
made by them, and on their behalf, at the period of their first elec-
tion ; and that this Committee therefore deeply regrets that, after
the signal and admitted failure of that Act to secure the welfare of
the Negro, and the consequent proof that there can be no remedy
for the evils of Slavery but its prompt and absolute extinction, the
Members for Manchester did not think it right to record their votes
in favour of the late Motion of Sir George Strickland for that
purpose.
J. 'Rat this Committee earnestly hopes that the Representatives
of Manchester, adverting to those principles of humanity and justice
whireh they have professed, and duly considering the accumulated
*e.irlence as to the evils of the Apprenticeship System which has
reached this country, will yet be convinced of the propriety of sup-
porting a mea-ure of immediate abolition, and that their votes upon
the expected motion of Sir Eardley Wilmot will manifest the con-
currence of their sentiments upon this important question, with
what this Committee believes to be the views of a largo majority of
their constituents.
3. That the respectful thanks of this Committee are due, and are
hereby presented to Joseph Brotherton, Esquire, the Member for
the borough of Salford, for his persevering support of the cause of
abolition.
4. That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to
each of the Members for Manchester, and to the Member for
Salford.
5. That this Committee having been informed that Lord Charles
Fitzroy has been dismissed from his situation in the Queen's house-
hold, in consequence of his vote, in opposition to the Government,
upon Sir George Strickland's motion, feels bound, if the statement
be true, to express its extreme surprise and indignation that the
Cabinet, of which one of the representatives for Manchester forms
a distinguished and influential Member, has adopted a course of
procedure, in reference to the question of Negro Slavery—a ques-
tion confessedly involving the most serious moral considerations,
and especially affecting individual conscience, which, as it appears
to this Committee, is directly contrary to the course pursued by
her Majesty's Ministers in several recent and important instances.
6. That a copy of the lasi. resolution be forwarded to the Right
Honourable C. P. Thomson,
7. That the resveett.ul thanks of this Committee be. given to Sir
Robert Harry Baronet, for his recent able anti efficient ad-
vocacy of me:s.snres to promote the suppression of the foreign
Slave trade—an olject which this Committee is of opinion can he
fully attained only by the complete and entire abolition of Slavery
throughout the world.
