I'To THE RJGUT HON; LORD GLENELG, &c.
My Led,.Sv'e feel assured that no apology is necessary in
requesting your attention to the subject of this letter. The
bfficial connection which you hold with the Colony, together
with tire peculiar circums'ances in which its newly-emanci-
pated population are slaced, render it an imperative duty we
owe to ourselves to lay before you our sentiments.
Hating laboured in the island for many yvars, and having
been is daily intercourse with the objects of your solicitude,
we do feel devoutly thankful to Almighty God that he has
spared us to see the disenthralment of our beloved flocks ;
while it gives us increased pleasure to d'sure your Lordship
that they received the boon with holy joy, and that the hour
which made them men beheld! them in thousands humbly
prostrate themselves at the footstool of marry, iMploring the
blessing of Heaven upon themselves and their country, while,
during_the night end joy ful day, trot a single case of intoxica-
tion was seen.
To us, as their pastors, they naturally looked for advice,
both as to the labour they shoula perform and the wages they
should receive. The importance of this subject was deeply
felt by us, and We were prepared to meet it with a full sense
of the responsibility it involved, and happily succeeded in
inducihg them to abcept of a sum lower than that which the
representatives of the lanctoWnei's had formerly asserted was
fair and just.
We regret to state that a deep combination was formed by
many of these mfddienien to grind the peasantry to the dust,
and to induee, ir possible, the accepter:lce of remuneration
which;-by affording no inducement to the peasant cheerfully
to labour, would have entailed pauperism on him and his fa-
mily, and ruin on the absentee proprietor. It was to this
circumstance, and not in the least to any unwillingness in the
free negro to work, or to demand there for his labour than it
was fairly worth, that for one or two weeks, in some places,
the cultivation of the soil was not resumed. Upon the plant-
ing attorneys, so lohg accustomed to tyranny and oppression,
and armed with a power over the land which must prove inimi-
cal to the full development of the resources of this valuable
colony, the blame entirely rests.
We suppose that your Lordship is fully aware that the laws
under which the labourer is now placed, are tyrannical and un-
just in the extreme; laws, we hesitate not to affirm,
which are a disgrace to those who framed them, and which, if
acted upon by a local magistracy, will entail upon the oft-
cheated, over-patient negro some of the worst features of that
degrading state of vassalage from which he hasjust escaped. We
particularly refer to "An Act to enlarge the powers of Justices in
determining complaintsbetween Masters and Servants, and be-
tween Masters, Apprentices, Artificers, and others," which
passed the Assembly the 3d day of July, 1834, while by police
acts, especially one regulating the town of Falmouth, our peo-
ple will be daily harassed and annoyed,
We think it right to inform your Lordship that the
greater part of those who hold the Commission of Magis-
trates are the very persons who, by their connection with
the soil, are the most unfit, because the most interested, ho-
nestly to discharge their important duties; while their
ignorance of the law is, in too many cases equalled only by
their line of tyranny and misrule. Time must work a mighty
change in the views of numbers who bold this office, ere they
believe that there is any dereliction of duty in daily defrauding
the humble African. We cannot but intreat
your Lordship to
use those means which are in your power to obtain for the
labourer, who imploringly looks to the Queen for protection,
justice at the hands of those by whom the laws are
adminis-
tered. We must, indeed, be blind to all passing events did we
not see that without the watchful care of the Home Govern-
ment the country district Courts, held sometimes in the very
habitations of those who will have to make the complaints,
will be dens of injustice and cruelty, and that our hearts will
again be lacerated by the oppressions under which our beloved'
people will groan.
We beg leave to apprise your Lordship that we have every
reason to believe that an early attempt will be made to de-
prive the peasantry of their provision grounds—that they will
not be permitted even to rent them ; so that, by producing
starvation and rendering the population entirely dependent upon
foreign supplies for the daily necessaries of life, a lower rate of
wages may be enforced. Cruel as this may appear to your
Lordship, and unlikely as it may seem, long experience has
taught us that there is no possible baseness of which a slave-
owner will not be guilty, and no means of accomplishing his
purposes, however fraught with ruin to those around him, which
he will not employ.
Should the peasantry be thus treated we shall feel it our
duty humbly to implore that the lands belonging to the Crown
may be made available for their use. Your Lordship will re-
member that these ill-treated people became not the subjects
of her Mai,P.sty by choice, though they are now deTotedly at-
tached to her bovernment. et herr lathers were sullen- anu
brought hither. On their native shores they had lands and
possessions capable of supplying all their wants. If, then,
after having toiled without remuneration, they are prevented
even rentinga portion of land which has hitherto beenesteemed
as their own, we shall ask, and shall feel assured that the boon
will not be withheld, that her Most Gracious Majesty will throw
open the lands belonging to the Crown, where we may retire
from the tyranny of man, and with our people find a peaceful
and quiet home.
Though still surrounded by obloquy and reproach—though
the most abusive epithets, and language disgracefully vulgar,
has been employed to assail us, especially by a newspaper
known to be under the patronage of the Bishop, and in which
all official accounts of his diocese are given to the world, yet
we assure your Lordship that, in endeavouring to promote the
general interests and welfare of this colony, we shall still
pursue that line of conduct which is the result of our judgment,
and in accordance with the dictates of our conscience.
In no part of the island are arrangements made so fully, or so
fairly, as in those districts where our congregations reside, and
in no part are the labourers more faithfully performing their
duty. We deeply feel our responsibility at the present crisis,
and, pledging ourselves to your Lordship and the British Go-
vernment by the sacred office we hold, we assure you that
ceaseless efforts shall still be exerted, as they ever have been,
to promote the peace and happiness of those around us.
In the name and on the behalf of our:churches, for the sacred
cause of freedom throughout the world, we unitedly implore
your Lordship to throw the shield of British protection over
those who are just made her loyal subjects. All they want,
and all they ask is, that as they are raised to the dignity, so
they may receive all the rights of man, and that the nation
who purchased them
..from bondage may fully secure to
them that civil and religious 1 berry to which both their
unparalleled sufferings and their unexampled patience so richly
entitle them.
We cannot conclude this letter IN ithollt expressing the high
sense
by
ewe entertain of the noble and disinterested conduct pur-
suedhis Excellency Sir Lionel Smith, the Governor of this
colony. But for his firmness Jamaica would have presented
all the horrors of a civil war.
Feeling assured that your Lordship will give that attention
to this letter which the subject demands, and with earnest
prayer that this colony, now blest with liberty, may exhibit
increasing prosperity, we are, my Lords, )our most obedient
servants, (Signed by)
