pledged to give example as well as precept.—(A laugh.)
He had another object, which was to touch upon a new
question, that was to show that immediate emancipation
would be better gradual if accompanied with compensa-
tion. He would not trouble the House with many argu-
ments on the general question. It had been admitted that
the present system was bad and must be changed, and the
question was one only of time. He was prepared to con •
tend, that a system of free labour, conjoined with a
s aatid system of education, would so develop the now
dormant moral and intellectual faculties of the negro as
to fit him for all the political and social relations of
their common nature. But then it was said, that if y"u
emalcipated them from their present thraldom they
would rot in laziness, and there would he no sugar pro-
duced. Did not the cultivation of sugar in our East In-
dian colonies, under a free labour system, prove the enor-
mous absurdity of this assertion? It had been said alse
that if we emancipated the slaves in our colonies, the result
would he, stimulating the slave trade in the colonies of
those foreign states which refused to imitate our policy.
The remedy was obvious, it only required a courageous
Ministry to apply it. Let trading in slaves be declared
piracy, no matter where or by whom practised, and there
would soon be an end to the barbarous practice. The
Hon. Gentleman concluded with moving, as an amend-
ment--" 1. Teat every slave in his Majesty's dothinions
has an indefeasible right ta emancipation without delay,
and without prizT. 2. That, from and after the 214 of
Au,;ust, 1534, the anniversary of his present Maje-ty's
birthday, slavery shall cease to exist in every part of the
British empire. 3. That immediate measures be tak-n
to ascertain the actual amount of pecuniary loss that may
be sustained by the owners of colonial estates from the
sularitution of free labour for slave labour in their several
plantations; and to determine to what extent the national
funds should be appropriated to compensate all those by
whom such pecuniary loss may be actually sustained. 4.
That an adequate supply of a preventive police, an inde
pendent and impartial magistracy, and a body of teachers
for infant and adult schools, be sent out from the mother
country to all the colonies in which slavery is to be abo-
lished : the expense to be borne out of the funds hitherto
appropriated to the support of our military establishments
in those parrs, which, on the entire abolition of slavery,
may be extensively and safely reduced."
Colonel DAVIES was an advocate for the immediate
abolition of negro slavery, but could not shut his eyes to
the great danger and difficulty pf hastily adopting such a
resolution as that just proposed by Mr. Bueltingham•
The blood and misery which followed the precipitate
measures of the National Convention in St. Domingo
should be a warning to th.an to emancipate a being cur-
mounded by the circumstances of the negro before he had
gone through such a probation as would fit him for a state
of entire and irresponsible freedom. He, however, did
not thereby yield his unqualified sanction to the proposi•
titans of Ministers. He conceived many of the objections
of Lord Howick to their adoption to be unanswerable, and
lie particularly objected to the proposed increase of the
duty on sugar. It was admitted on all bands that the
West India interest required relief, and experience had
shown'that consumption was diminished as price—duty,
was increased; therefore to increase the duty on sugar
would injure the West India interest still further by dimi-
nishing the consumption. It would be much more politic
and beneficial to increase the consumption by diminishing
the duty.

Mr O'CONNELL moved that the debate be then (one
o'clock) a journed till Monday next.—Agreed to.
