I'd Because the value, possessions of the Crown Of
Great Britain, OF the colonies in which these negroes
ate well as the value oil their estates to the propc
and coonss depends upon the ahour OF the
to obtain the valuable produce Of the soil-sugar-she-
Their as slaves apprentices tree labourer FOR hire
3D. because the experience OF all times and OF all
tons. particularly that of modern times, and our ow
colonies aud in ST Domingo has proved that men ncyi.
med, ami at liberty 10 iabour not they please, will
not work Tor hire at regular agricultural abour in the low
grounds within the tropics; and the example the United
Sa'es-a country but hiny peoped in proportion its
extent and fertility, and always in want OF hands has
shown that, in climates the labour Of
emancpaed negroes, could not be relied upon for the cu
uvaton OF the soil aud that the welfare Of socety> az
well as that OF the emancpa,ed negroes themselves,
qnire that they should be removed elsewhere.
4'h. Because the number OF negroes the several

which they located is small in proportion to the
tent Of the country which they occupy and the fertility
Of the soil great, and the climate
and little inviting TO exeriion and abour is favourable
to vegetation aud the growth Of all descriptions OF the
produce OF the ill., thai be that hese
eancipated slarcs thus uneducated and unframed will
be- induced to work for hire.

g. Because the bill, in enforcing upon the cooi,s the
emancipation OF their slaves aitans its object by enact
merits aud measures least calculated to concae their

by whose Influence and authority the powers govern

OF Parliament, and communicated TO the colonies has
tered from IL to years. Proprietors who have slaves

apprentices as domescs arIifcers. Persons he
appointed special magistrates (for the execution of the
measures ordained by this bil) with the CO.
ioneS, not sufficient in number for tho rforance OF the
duty even OF protecting the property and persons the
resident propretors sufficiently paid TO render them
respectable, or even efficient
The colonial legislatures required enact laws to

loss 10y propiieors of slaves in the colonies Of all parc
patton OF the compensation held out by the bill, in
those laws should not be coniomabe to the model there

The colonial legislatures first pass certain laws

MES OF the whole held out and that according to
principle which is considered by the colonial pro-
pre'ors to he partial aud unjust This distribution having
