Arjserting to the Poorer which had proclaimed its
iris's toomerse the Slave Trede in terms pf great
'summary, he characterized such cotujuct as worse
than that of the Inquisition in its worst days. To
couple the terms " humanity" and " the Shivel rade ;"
to talk of " the comforts" of men-dragged from
their country, and from every thing dear to them,
'was to show that those by whom such language was
used, were at once sensible of the misery they were
Milicting and incapable of resisting the temptation to
li4ic it.
Mr. CANING coineided in every word which
Isad heel uttered by his Honourable Friend who
goade the motion before the House. This was a•day
of real triumph to his HonourableFriend, who must
r'njoy at once the conscintnsveilection of how much
lied been done, and the confident. prospect of the
'peel!), achievement of that which it yet remained to
do. His object in rising was to dectare,tliat, in his
