Well the Shareholders protest that the true way o.
abolishing Slavery is to do it gradually; profess
to be in favor Of abolition at last. But the Aboi
tionists could not get the Shareholders to specify
any time when they would cease to be Shareholders
/ They acted, MS we are told, as Charles James Fox
did. lie was notorious for getting into debt, and
quite as notorious for never paying his debts. A
certain Jew named Solomon, whom he owed con-
siderable sum, of money, had come to him grea
many times for it, but Fox would never set any
time to pay it. At last he came to Fo * and told
him that he was resolved never to leave him uht
( he would tell him when he could have tho money
Fox found that he could stave it of no longer
and he said, "Wen Solomon. seeing that mus
fix day, will try to" and he walked backward

WE'LL the Shareholders said, do you mean to strike
down vested rights and rob us of of our property
Give us compensation full and entire. These slaves
are our property we have bought them and paid
for them, and now you talk about taking them and
giving nothing in return it is robbery. No

pensaton to be given to the slave. In the name
of justice | pronounce your vested rights vested

abolished there will be less sugar grown, and i
less sugar then chaos would come again withop
sugar the universe would STOP Sugar was tn,
grand argument. The blood was forgotten anal
gamation was forgotten, vested rights were forgot
ten, Onesimus and the curse upon Canaan were
t forgotten--only sugar, shall have less sugar
this was the climax of their objection. Well tt
the argument If their first objection were true
of course there would be nobody left to grow any
thing. But they rolled this sugar argument as O
sweet morsel under their tongues. 1t was however
mono the less iniquitous because twas sweet. Lei
us see how that lump of sugar is to be dissolved
In the first place there is less sugar grown thar
before emancipation; SO be it. But there is nc
unrequitted toll. Less sugar, no more letters and
yokes and branding irons. Less sugar; no longer
any drivers and oyerseers. Less sugar; no more
fugitive slave hunts Less sugar. no more slave
instructions and no longer any dread of them
Less sugar; bu. no longer driving slaves to exter
mination. Why, so horrible was Slavery in the
West Indies that there was q constant and mos
frghtful decrease, so that as Slavery was going or
in the progress of time the entire population would
have been snnihated. Less sugar again, for

the Slave Code of the Colonies some of the mos
outrageous laws.) A slave striking his master OIL

Less sugar, but thus abolished. fugitive slave
