SIR ROBERT PEEL IN 1841 AND 1846.-" That party,
[the Conservative.] " gentlemen, ti's been pleased to In-
trust your representative with its confidence (cheers) ;
and, notwithstanding all the remarks that have been made
at various times, respecting differences of opinion and jea-
lousy among them, you may depend upon it that they are
altogether without foundation ; and that that party which
has paid me the compliment of taking my advice, and fol-
_

lowing my counsel, are a united and compact party,
among which there does not exist the slightest ,diference
of opinion in respect to the principles they support, and
the conse th..y may desire to ;nu- ue. (Cheers ) Gen-
tlemen, I hope I have not abused the confidence of that
great party. (Loud cheers.) [speech of Sir .R.

twinge, a pang, a spasm, on reading the above. Om
more extract I will give relative to the recent con !uct of
Sir R. Peel on the sugar-duties •—" The question now is,
gentlemen. whether, after the sacrifices which this country
has made for the suppression of the slave-trade, and the
abolition of slavery, and the glorious resul, s tha: have en-

sued, and are likely to ensue from these sacrifices, we
shall run the rsk of losing the benefit of these sacrifices,
and tarnishing for ever /hat glory, by admitting to the
British markets sugar, the produce of foreign slavery?
Gentlemen, the character of this country, in resoect to
slavery, is thus spoken of by one of the most eloquent
writers and statesmen of another country, Dr. Chaining,
of the United States :—' Great Britain, loaded with an
unprecedented debt, and with a grinding taxation, con-
'et( ' a new deht ri a hundred millions of dollars, to give

tractect
freedom, nor to Englishmen. but to the& graded African.
I know not 'hat history records an act so disinterested, so
sublime. In the progress of ages, Erglapd's naval tri-
umphs will sit k into a more and more narrow space on
the records of our race. Flits moral triumph will fill a
broader, brighter page.' Gentlemen," proceeded Sir Ro-
bert- Peel, " let us take care that this bright page' be not
sullied by the admission of stare sugar into the consump-
tion of this country, by our unnecessary encouragement
of llarery and the slave-trade." [Speech, pp. 8, 9.3
