.n RESPECTABLE MEETING of the Members and
l'ooends of the ANTI SLAVERY SOCIETY, held in the Great
Room at Exeter-hall, on Friday, the 15th May, 1835.
ihe Right Honourable the Lord BROUGHAM and VAUX in
the Chair ;
Z On the Motion of THOMAS FOWELL BUXTON, Esq., M.P.i
J
seconded by GEORGE STEPHEN, Esq. ; and supported by J.
S. BUCKINGHAM Esq., M.P.,and the Rev. JOHN BURNET,
it was resolved— '
1. That this Meeting regards with sincere delight, and devout
Eitetude to Divine Providence, the object of the Act for abolishing
:11_.very,
Passed by the British Legislature ; and this Meeting can-
2letooe earnestly express its satisfaction, that, by the exercise of
;trances,l ful and industrious habits, under the, most trying circum-
-11 the Negro has proved himself to be well fitted to receive,
eivilwarordthryeligito.olotvr,eedthoemful. 1 exereise of the inestimable blessing of
111 at whilst this Meeting willingly pays this just tribute of its
Praise,e to the
maul znorkiiii&of
Negro, it thinks it right to withhold all approbation of
the Act for abolishing Slavery, until official infer-
tile c on at subject from the Colonies shall have been given to
un
strY, fearing that the system of Apprenticeship has been
ticmu utservient in numerous instances, and in a variety of ways,
,„,Pression, towards the emancipated negroes and people of colour,
,Tit tinder this apprehension, it is the opinion of this Meeting that
~‘",rliamentary inquiry should be immediately instituted, and that,
timaT the total extinction of Slavery, it is of the utmost consequence
el, the greatest vigilance should be exercised by the British public
er the whole of this question.
ull the motion of DANIEL O'CoNNELL, Esq. ; seconded by the
0. Rev. Dr. MomusoN, it was resolved unanimously:—
, That this Meeting contemplates, with great satisfaction, the
ive exertions now making in France, for the extermination of
eaaytTY from her Colonies ; and also regards with solicitude, the
ii4rtions which are now making in the United States, for the abo-
wk_n of Slavery, and warmly sympathises in the labours of those
tllutot are
tv. etiNed in this arduous undertaking, and earnestly trusts
r tri.:l_ day is not distant when America shall no longer incur the
l:e',„-"ae° of holding in bondage upwards of two millions of human
iti„-", and of allowing prejudice against colour to perpetuate the
entertain
and degradation of the Negro race. And this Meeting,
SlaZtrtining_ a deeply rooted horror of the Slave-trade, and of
the 1%.!;;'1111 rejoice to co-operate with all Societies, in every part of
tics or'cit having for their object the immediate and utter extinc-
, these enormous evils.
un the motion of JOHN JEREMIE, Esq. ; seconded by WILLIAM
ALLEN, Esq., it was resolved unanimously :
111,:t 1:1?at this Meeting has learnt, with inexpressible grief, that
loth w I:a'ne in Slaves is still carried on to an enormous ex, and
es me eased cruelty, under the flags of Foreign nations, buttentmore
l'Pe, c4',allY under those of Spain and Portugal, notwithstanding the
st,-14"es these Powers entered into with this country to put a final
tler ''`) it, and notwithstanding they have received from our Go-
iit?roeut, for the accomplishment of that object, more than one
the'l°ll, sterling. And this meeting cannot refrain from expressing
ei,,i gr'ef and indignation it feels, at the dereliction of every prin-
itr ec°f honour and of humanity exhibited by those Governments,
cotrcl'usiog to adopt effectual measures for repressing the nefarious
all 4 net pursued by their subjects, in the prosecution of this traffic ;
tti,ll!hich convinces us, that the only measure which can effec-
slar) put a stop to the Slave-trade is the total extinction of
That
.
killitat this Meeting feels itself bound to express its grateful a-
itizi"iledgments to many of the Governors of Colonies, to the Mi-
_-ers of religion generally, and to the Missionaries of various de-
ifrias, tions in the Colonies, for their zealous, prudent, and indefa-
ere exertions in explaining to the emancipated Negroes the
s„ltte and extent of the freedom accorded to them, and in impress-
) rdtPon their minds the solemn obligations under which they are
end by the high authority of Christianity, to a peaceful, sober, and
sib tlstrious conduct ; and which has greatly contributed to the
sti.eerto. successful result, on the part of the Negroes, of this mea-
th& that this Meeting, regarding it of the utmost importance
prin sound Scriptural education, upon liberal and comprehensive
stre-e'Ples, should be provided for all the emancipated Negroes, de-
re, s to see carried into effect, at the earliest possible period, the
13roohnions of Parliament which accompanied the Act, viz., that
!trvisi.n should be made to provide for the moral and religious in-
Tetion of the Cnlonies, upon liberal and comprehensive principles.
ii_ hat the cordial thanks of this Meeting be given to the Right
41urable the Lord Brougham and Vaux, for his early, indefati-
hl!, sad powerful exertions in this great cause of justice and hu-
-"ItY, and for his able conduct in the chair this day.
