]. To come at oacc to tho grand cause Of out
cry against ns--thc unhappy and ndcienslhlc c\-

81 good asto turn your c,es 10 the map of Africa,
and ia them on spot longer than halt OF Western
Europe Al its southern extremity find Cape
fown. Then lind the speech OF DR.. Phillip, de-
livrrcd in Exeter HALL ten dayk after YOU delivered
Yours. In that town and nriehborhood arr 5000
British slaves Scattered over that vast PENN
Snla are man. thousand more of British slaves !!
And yet the ear OF day is dull with being told that,
IN tho British empire, there were no slaves, and
the very speech that has elected these remarks
was made NJ a meeting on tic anniversary dryo-
ted to glorious fact that never occurred, namely ,
- slave emancipation in the British colonies"
, Turn, now, pray YOU, to the mapof Asia,
aud find the vast JomInons which God has lent
10 you there, embracing population of ono hun
bred and ilrt, millions OF souls. Then look over
a file of pap RS, and read a conversation that oc-
CURED in the Commons House Of Parliament, but
4 short time back, between The honorable Mr..
Buxton and Sir J. IIobhousr. ON the subject Of
British Slavery in India There you will find
il admitted that j" domestic slavery prevails 10 a
great extent in India, " especially in Bengal"
There you will find proof that no dlrcc, effort was
ever made to abolish it, and reasons urged by the
Government why it canno, now he abolished. and
why treaties now existing seem to render its future
abolition impossible
s. Turn your attention, next, To the western SIDE
of the Atlantic Ocean, and see nearly million OF
apprentices in the West India Islands and then
remember what you have yourself sad and written
ON the subject of this system and call to mind the
innumcrablc declarations made weekly, up and
down the country by those who belong to your
party and ~ho Cat the lloudsworlh Anu-S Slavery
Society, on the 3D. of this monthly denounced II
" as aggravated slavery, under the d. usivc name
of apprenticeship" and denouncc every propo-
sal of government" as onl, calculated to excite
| suspicion.
DO | draw an inference at all strained when
| say that the subjects of monarch, whose do
minons in three quarters of the globe are, by Their
own showing, and by lrrcfragablc proofs, covered
with slaves, should deal somewhat gentle with
other nations who may chance 10 be IN the same
unhappy condition Do say too much when
caution such people to be more guarded IN boast
iul assertions. which are conlladiccd by the Tact
! and the record OF the case Do | give needless
offence when | beg you to remember tia, your
Parliament is on,nipotent over this subject and Is
therefore Responsible for all the evils which exist,
either through their negligence by their con-
sent Alas, sir, is ancient habit. To be bitter
against our brother for mote, when the beam rs
in orr owntyr.
Blu, havc.morc to add. We have been spo-
ken against with great severity for neglect Of the
spiritual welfare of the coloroh population Of the
United States; and YOU have, in an unhappy
hour said YOU believed and approved these hard
savings | have in vain denied III vain disprov-
4 ~ 81, t,p li-
ton of the country whose people bring and credit
Them, still keeping the line OF duty Indicated by
your suggestion.
4. Let mr. beg you, then, to look at the cond-
ton Of Lower Canada, where the Roman Catho-
lie religion established by treaty and by law,
where annual grants of public money ais MADE
to snpport it,, and where il has had free course,
until the people are ignorant that by statute
law the grand Jurors and school commissioners are
allow ed the privilege Of making their marks M
stead Of signing their names, and where, accord
ing to the belief of the whole universe, except
Papis,s, a system Of idoairons worship is guar
anticd by the power of the British realm.
s. Then look over the votes in the Committee
of Supply in the present Parliament, and YOU will
see fS, ops " for the Roman Catholic College al
Mavnooth," (Which is just about the sum the Will
fed Americans pay annually to promote the re-
lpion of Jesus Christ in Western Africa, through
the Colonization Socie,y,) and ask you, asa
Christian TO resolve the questions, which oil these
enterprises you deem most in FURIOUS to true re'i
zion ! Which you and your party have most ac-
lively opposed And which is most under your
eve and control Heaven and earth are moved
to prevent the spread OF the Gospel IN Africa,
through the Colonization Society; and not a
whisper is heard to prevent the increase OF IDOL
airy in your own land, through governmental pat
ronagc.
6. But more Gigh,fu case remains. Re-
member that YOU have above one hundred millions
of heather in your Indian possessions then read
the noble speech Of the Rev. w. Campbell,
missionary from Bengalorc, delivered at Exeter
Hall, at the last annual meeting of the London
Missionary Society. There, sir, you will find
positive proof that the horrid system of liindoo
idolary, in all its cruelty and corruption, is up
held par,aken Of and made source OF gam by
the British authorities in India !! Temples are
,upporsd by tho Government; priests and dam
cling women are paid monthly allowance out OF
the public revenue magistrates are present and
aiding officially at their brutal ceremonies mill
,ary officers do their peculiar honors to the IL
bomnablc thing and British, tunctonares collcc,
the wages of iniqutv. And now, sir, wha, can the
eagerness of party zeal find. in all its false allie
cations against u.s. equal TO tic naked dcformity Of
these facts
7. But pass again to another portion of your
wide empire. In multitudcs of publications
have seen our alleged neglect Of the religious in
sruclon of the coorcd population of America made
the basis of lnsinuations against the sincerity OF
our religious professions. II you will read The
