if Parliament 'came to a tesoltition on the subjects{

(Hear, heir) --alto wh:ch occurred to us on a review
of the *twit of these proceedings, was this,--
a. That the Boast sea, in the proceedings now
brought under its consideration, respecting the condi-
tion of the slaves in Jamaica, matter for further delibe-

We nidi to see that the law worked as it should
have done, and that it was calcniated to accelerate
and promote the anxious wish so generally expressed
for the amelioration of the condition of slaves, and
ultimately to annihilate the -system altogether. But
when I became u red with . the nature of the Honourable

thought it that the iseiluider Willa the late trials in Jamaica took
place should be amended, atiief canna. Ur a moment, deem it
Just or experpen to lespeacirtie sentence pronounced before a cam-
pecan Tribunal—by Aron sword to glve their verdict according
to law. lan most anslouslit.' reard this as a reason why we are
adverse to the Hooeurabie an& Learned Gentle min's motion: let
it not be supposed that bit Majesty's Ministers are inclined to de-.

Mr. DEN MAN, in reply. aid he was most desirous an mail-
man resuiution should- go forth; and be assured the Right Hon.
Gentieman that nothing could prevent him. from complying . with
Ms suggestion, but an impression on his mind that he could not
with justice alter his revolution. The distinction, in his opinion,
was no other thaws quibbling fait*. The laegitap of his rms.
lution was meant. and he wasksitiled, in saying it was a perver-
sion of the low es Wag eight ma to trial, and execute them, with-
out allowing time for their dame. H. could not say the Judges
were guilty of precipitation in pasting elintence. but how could ho
withdraw the words of his resolution from the Governor, who was
bound to execute *doe in mercy? He was folly convinced that
the system of justice in the ealeMes mend not last long, unless Go-
vernesses Minded tioraelly to cede to them, and thereby make a
mockery sijeitloh Ho regretted that be could not accede to the
suggesting etee Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning), but he
felt it his bond= duty to the country to take the sense of the

After the original motion was negatived, and on putting the
