Laft night the Bill for abolifhing the Slave Trade

was carried by a majority of too to 36. We congra-
tulate the country on this triumph •:of jullice over

rapine, fraud, and murder. Long has the name of
Britain been difgraced by futTering this torrent of
iniquity to fpread its baneful influence through the
multiplied ramifications of our commerce. For ages
has the voice of humanity been Rifled by the dz.
mours of the moll vim-thief' of mankind, while
every handl feeling of Nature has been outraged
by the molt flagrant brutality and cruelty—per-
mitted fo long, to the difgrace of our country, that
.at leagth thofe.interelled in the profits of this wicked
traffic, loft to every fence of fhame,had the effrontery
to claim its continuance as a matter of right, and the
wickednefs to maintain that it is authorized by the
laws of Goo ! Hath Ha not faid, He that leadeth
into captivity (hall go into captivity"—" Is Hs a man
that be fhouldlie, or a fon of man, that Ha (hould
change ?" Hath he laid, and will he not perform ?
—Let the abettors and fupports of the Slave Trade,
and thofe callous individuals, who, with Cain, are
daily Paying, 's Am I my brother's keeper P'—Let
the Country, as a criminal body, that by permitting,
becomes anfwerable for the guilt—let them think on
the fate of their polio-4 in the day of retributive
juffice !
