AHe SAhEe Hraoe suppression Treaty
In the House of Lords on the 8th of July
Earl Russell moved the second reading of this
BILL the object Of which is to carry out the
convention in regard "a the suppression Of the
slave TRADE lately agreed upon between Her
Majesty's government and the United States
government.
The Earl Of Derby said that this was IN
doubleday bill Of great Importance. It was
we'll known that the main inducement to carry
a on the slave trade for long period had been
the refusal of the United States to permit the
right of search, and that the flag of the States
had covered large portion of the horrible
trafhc. 1t might perhaps happen that the
Tag OF some other power might be abused in
similar way, bat he trusted that in such an
event there would be no desire to qiUe that
hae1 encouragement s0htch he iaas AFRAID the
United States had giregs to tie Stare trade. Ii
that noble lord should detect any indisposi.
a. ton on the part OF foreign power 70 punish
p such prostitution of their ensign, he would
no doubt take to make an early and ell
Gent representation the subject in order to
prevent a repetition of the otfense. Hear,
heat he hoped that the bill would meet
with no opposition, ana would be attended
with the utmost success, which the best friend
of the negro, and the most determined enemy
to the slave trade could desire Hear, hear
The bill was then read a second time.
