nrIHE extraordinary and unhoped for result of this evening's
1. POLL demands my warmest thanks, They are due to
the increasing activity, and unwearied exertions of my friends,
and to the gallant and disinterested spirit with which the Free-
men of this ancient and Laval Borough rushed forward to the
Hustings to-day, and justified the expectations which I had
confidently rested upon their attachment to our venerable
lecon-
stitution, and the trading interests of th `town. To the Eden.
tars, of all classes, I owe my warmest • nks for the manner in
which they have, by their suffrages, v. dicated my political cha-
racter from the aspersions which had been thrown upon it,. and
proved to the world, that a man may still pursue an-nonestand
independent course, unfettered by the bonds .of party, awl un-
tainted by its madness, without losing the good opinion of one
of the most numerous and enlightened Constituencies of the
Empire.
lee feelings with- which my breast is filled will not allow me
to say more, at present, than to offer you, again, my most hearty
thanks.—l am, Gentlemen, your obedient and faithful Servant,

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.

FELLOW COUNTRYMEN,
N Association of persons, styling themselves the Anti-
!AL Slavery Society, are endeavouring, to dictate to you in a
:manner which is quite inconsistent with the freedom of Elec-
tion for a reformed Parliament. They presume to publish
lists, pointing out the Candidates you ought to choose, de-
nouncing others as unworthy of your confidence ; and
lurid out the terrors of Schedules A and B against all such
shall venture to appear before you without a pass from their
society. No matter how well qualified the Candidate may be
in point of general information, attachment to your loCal in:
terests, or acknowledged liberality of character; he is to, be
cast:aside as wholly undeserving of your support, unless he will
prostitute his independence of opinion by giving a blind pledge
to vote without inquiry, for the immediate unconditional ex-
inetion of Colonial Slavery.
It follows of course, that if this dictation be submitted to, the
first use you will have to make of your extended privileges as
Englishmen, must be not only to 'exclude from Parliament
every person connected with, or inclined to protect, the in-
terests of a huge class of your fellow-subjects who have no
direct RepresentatiVeS in the Legislature, but even so far as in
you lies, to assist in'confiscating their property.
Fellow Countrymen, suffer not yourselves to be made •the
tools of a party, however numerous they may be, or however
plausible their object. Be content with selecting honest men
fur your Representatives, who will merely pledge themselves to
look at the difficult question of Slavery in its only rational
light; viz. as a system long established, encouraged, and in-
deed originally enforced by the British Governthent in our
Colonies, which is to be exchanged for a better so soon as may
be icompatible with the real welfare of the black population,
and with the rights of private property.
Consider for a moment how little you can hitherto under-
stand the details of a system which, objectionable as it may be
has formed the frame-work of Colonial society for centuries
Bast,' and therefore how incapable you must be of instructing
your Representatives on such a subject, or they, if they be
honest men, of binding themselves to any course of conduct
respecting it• Are you aware that up to this moment the
Negroes have been accustomed to depend wholly on their
masters for home, food, clothing, for every thing necessary to
the support of existence from its commencement to its close ?
and have the Anti-Slavery Society been able to satisfy you
that in the present moral condition of the blacks, this habit of
dependence could be suddenly and safely exchanged for a
system of free labour; in short, that the Negroes are at this
moment diSposed to support themselves and maintain the staple
cultivation of the Colonies, as a tree peasantry ? So tar front
having satisfied you, it would appear that the Society them-
selves have some misgivings on this important point; for they
do not seem disposed to let you wait the final result of two
Parliamentary Committees, which are collecting evidence as to
the Negro's actual progress towards civilization nay, they
have even had the assurance to stigmatize as a " profligate ex-
penditure of public money" the loan lately made by Podia-
ment for the express purpoie of enabling certain Jamaica
planters to resume cultivation on their dilapidated estates,
which had heretofore furnished the means of supporting their
Negroes ; thus plainly evincing that the boon which the so-
ciety expect you to confer upon the emancipated blacks, is not
that of profitable industry, but idleness.

If you will be content to wait the result of Parliamentary in-
vestigation, the actual condition of the black population will
then, for the first time, be before you. Should it turn out that
they are still incapable of appreciating the benefits of industry,
looking to freedom only as to a state of luxurious inactivity,
then immediate emancipation would be to them what it has
been to the blacks of St. Domingo, a bitter curse, commencing
in bloodshed, and ending in compulsory labour, enforced by
the drum and the bayocet. Freedom to the Negroes under
such circumstances would necessarily be the destruction of all
profitable cultivation in our Colonies ; the sacrifice of a trade
which now consumes five millions worth of our manufactures,
and employs one-fourth of our whole mercantile marine, and a
direct bribe held out to induce foreign nation's to continue the
Slave Trade 'with all its horrors. But if, on the other hand, it
should appear that the Negroes have advanced in moral charac-
ter, have acquired property, and are even approaching a state of
fitness for receiving the previleges of industrious free citizens,
then what will become of all the abuse which has been heaped
upon. the head of the calumniated and nearly ruined British
planter ? and how unnecessary will it be that you should add to
nis embarrassment, by precipitating measures which must in .
evitahly , produce destruction and bloodshed, unless they are
conducted with the greatest circumspection.

•
The difference of feeling between the planters and yourselves
relateS.only to the time and manner of terminating slavery; all
good men Must lament that such a syst. should have been
established and encouraged by a • ish legislature : and f
considered s. a 'national crime, i can only be expiated by
the nation giving freednin to the• ave aa' soon as he may be
found capable of making a rational use of that blessing. But,
fellow countryn en,. do pot suffer the Anti-Slavery Society to
cajole you into the fatal belief, that the favor of Heaven will
attend this 'indict al atonement, if it be made at the'sole ex-
pense of the Unfortunate British: planter. The specious prin-
ciple which has been recently, promulgated • for the sake of
covering injustice, viz, that "man -cannot claim property in
the person of his fellow man," may he applicable enough as
between the slave and. the people of Great Britain ; but it can
never invalidate the claim of the planter to due compensation
for the loss he may sustain, or the risk he may incur' by the
abrogation of those laws under which he was encouraged to
purchase slaves from British subjects• brought to him in British
vessels, and the profits resal lug from which traffic at thisapo7
ment couseiLute a part of dui .i4jidual and collective wealth, of;
the mother country. •

It would be idle to expect that the people of England can
escape from their full shire of tilt responsibility, so long as the
frame of society is to be kept together; it is in'the poWer of the
people to at,sist in making laws aS, well as in recalling them ;
but every honest judge and statesman will tell you, that if once
you introduce the precedent of sacrificing legally • established
private rights for what may be considered the common benefit,
that principle will draw after it the speedy destruction of every
species of individual property.
