. That it. .
• the lis the opinion of this Meeting, that should
l' ,Pr,°Posed measures pass into law, they will be produc-
il'it- °L inevitable destruction of some of the most valuable
slit'is't' of British Navigation and Colonial Commerce,
porit,_"Y obvious result, inffict. serious injury on many ini-
ihat'ut branches of domestic industry dependent. thereon.;
tior the Proposed departures from the principle of protec-
' tut, 'ol3iitish shng and colonial interests, will not be
poi,,Pensatell by the advantages anticipated by the sup-
-Iti ii"l of these measures, either to the State in revenue,
of fur in price, or to the nation in the extension
itte:el/111 commerce - and that their application to those
