apprehen ded from the American abolition society is
that acting upon pub ic op.ion IN England, they may

the products Of the labor Of their East India subjects
for that OF the slave labor of America, until we are

Who can be surprised that Sir Robert Peel and
other distinguished English statesmen entertain such
opinions, " hen we hear the speeches of MIR. Adams
