The Kenilworth Advertiser. — 1876-01-15 (Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England)

DIXON, M.P., moved, 'That this meeting , emphatically protests spinet the conduct of her , Majesty's Government in issuing a new circular respecting fugitive slaves, containing principles at varisince with the cherished convictions of the English ! people ; that, in the opinion of this meeting, her ! Majesty's Government would have beet consulted their own honour and the wishes of the nation if, instead of persisting in the course which has met with anis:erasl reprobation,they had suspended further action until the 1 assembling of Parliament ; and should the present state of the law be detective have then submitted proposals which would have brought it into harmony with the determination of the people to maintain the right of refuge on every British man-of-war." He said had , the second circular been brought before the House of Commons, as should have been the case, he sheuld have felt bound to more or support an amendment to the first paragraph to the efFeet that the following words should be substituted: "You will bear in mind that , it will be your duty to receive such fugitive on board your ship, and to give him the protection of the British flag—(applause)—antil he oan be landed in some country or transferred to some ship where his liberty will be recognised and respected. (Loud sp. plause.) He did not for one moment believe that the present House of Commons would object to that ! amendment. (Hear, hear.) The present Government had failed to comprehend the feeling of the nation, sod , it would not for one moment be this to support its position if it were subjected to the test of a vote of the House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the comity of nations if that forbade our assisting ' fugitive slaves it should be changed (Applause.) The present circular seemed to tolerate slavery, whereas our attitude should have been one of: uncompromising aggressiveness to it. (Applause.) The English nation must declare in the future as it had declared in the past that its influence should be exercised to destroy slavery in every part of the world. (Loud applause.) —Mr. TPROMAS Bssvon (a working man) seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously, with loud applause. Mr. H, HANKEB (Borough Coroner) moved :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the new Fugitive Slave Ciratt'sr is contrary to English feeling and opposed to human freedom, inasmuch as, 1. It limits the right of refuge of escaped slaves in such a manner as practically to destroy it. 2. It imposes upon English officers and sailors the disgraceful task of forsaking those fugitives who have obtained temporary refuge on British ships, and of leaving them to the mercy of the slaveowners from whom they have escaped. 3. On the part of England it recognises and acknowledges as a law the institution of human slavery, which the conscience of the nation holds to be a crime."—Mr. Sent. TIMMINS seconded the motion, and it was supported by Mr. Viscxxr, (secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants,) and also carried unanimously with loud cheers.  On the motion of Mr. J. S.
