VENADLES, MAYOR.
ON COUNCIL, holden in the CRAM-

the Bth day of December, 1825,
.That this Court, deeply impressed with a just abhor-
state of Slavery which prevails in the Colonies of
by wi.ich wpwards of 800,000 of their fellow-
ept in bondage, under an oppressive and Aim de-

:ondition wholly repugnant to the spirit of Christianity
_ the soundest maxims a national policy—a violation
principle of humanity and justice—and a foul staia on the
Country.

they reflect upon the vicious nature of a syitem,
so many of his Majesty's subjects of their rights
citizens, which constitutes them mere chattek—the
and transfer—thus reducing them to the level of the
rhich reserves the same wretched inheritance for their
their chi:dren's children, for ever ; this Court cannot
the utmost satisfaction, the pledge which was given in
unanimous Resolution of the Government and Par-
Country, that effectual measures should be taken to
the earliest punt& period, this enormous and at:-

Court, While it entertains a high sense of the value of
which have been made by his Majesty's Ministers to
solemn pledge, most deeply lament that these efforts
been rendered fruitless by the determined resistance
' Legislatures, and notwithstanding the benevolent
supreme authority of the State, seconded as they
the wishes and prayers of the Nation at large, no
tress has as yet been made in the promised work of Re-
,on the contrary, after a lapse of nearly three years,
strongly marked with the national reprobation, still
appears from documents recently furnished by the
themselves, to subsist in al/ its unmitigated rigour.
Court, therefore, is fully persuaded, that it is only by
authoritative interference of Parliament that this cruel, im-
' disgraceful state of Society can be effectually reformed+

feet not only the moral guilt, but the political evii, of

imposts, which are paid by the Nation at large in the
bounties upon their produce, and in prohibitory duties on
countries.

bounties and protecting duties, while they are at
the just and liberal principles of commercial policy
Legislature, and while they entail a large and un-
burden on the Country, directly tend to perpetuate the
Colonial Slavery.
Court feel it their bounden duty to declare their senti-
subject, and to prefer their earnest Petitions to both
Parliament, praying them to provide, by means of Le.
Enactments, fur the immediate reform of the Colonial
for the early extinction of Siavery ; and alto for the
these Bounties an.l Protecting Duties in favour of the
Yes, which impose on the Country not only a heavy

mitts, but the still more painful necessity of actually
*skiing, by their contributions, a system which they reprobate

and immoral, inconsistent with the principles of British
lv, and injurious to the National Interests.
That if, in the progress of the measures which may be requisite
kr giving full and early effect to the Parliamentary Resolutions,
raising the unhappy Slaves, at the earliest practicable period to
in the civil rights and privileges which are enjoyed

classes of his Majesty's subjects, any injury should accrue
'l.tny of the parties affected by 'he change, and if Parliament should
twee them to be equitably entitled to an indemnity, they trust that
Public will cheerfully bear those charges which may be 01:Ca-
kr.td by the completion of dais act of National Jti'Jce.
