Pelitieal Liberties of the Czechs Curtailed—Ex- clroment and Public Meetings in Prague—The Stadthalter of Bohemia Dismuissed—Close of the Diets—Important Engineering Operations fm Vienna—Liberties Granted to the Jews— Austria’s Financial Position. VIENNA, Oct. 11, 1868, ‘The Bohemian Czechs, of whose agitation for re- peal of the unfon with Cislithuanta and of whose open air meetings and their dispersal I have kept you advised, have at last aucceeded in bringing mat- ters to a crisis with the West Austrian government and in bringing down upon themselves a suspension of many of the politicat liberties hitherto enjoyed by them in common with the other peoples of Cis- lithuania. The 28th of last month was the day dedi- cated in the Romish calendar to St. Wenceshaus, the patron saint of the Bohemian nation, and from that day until the 4th inst. there prevailed great ex- ¢itement among the working classes and Czechian students of Prague, and some excesses were com- mitted; but the event which called the govern- ment into the fleld happened on the last named day. On the afternoon of the 4th ® meeting of about 10,000 of, the Slavic inhabitants of Prague was held ata place called “Libussa’s Bath,” in the neighborhood of the cap!- tal. A police officer, who had at his back a squadron of hussars and a battalion of infantry, summoned the masses to disperse, which they refused to do, ‘until the cavalry began tocharge upon them, As fhe military were performing their duty stones were huried at them and some were wounded. The crowd, after their return to the city, broke the win- Gows of the College of Jesuits and afterwards those of the German club and the German theatre. One of the members of the club had his head severely cut by @ stone. It may occasion surprise that the oity police allowed the mob so much latitude, but the explanation of this enigma is to be found in the fact that the city govefnment, and with it the man- Bgement of the police, is in the hands of the nation- lists, who were averse to act against their brethren biood, language and political sympathies, Pro- bly the knowledge of this fact contributed to Larry on the resolution of the central government. At any rate, to-day’s Oficial Gazette contains @ proclamation, signed by the monarch and the ‘West Austrian ministers, which, on the constitutional @rou nd of disturbance of the peace, and with a view to the better security of life and property, suspends the usual securities for the Itberties of the individual citizen until farther notice, The prociaimed distict is Prague and its vicinity—namely, Surichow and Karolinenthal. ‘This ts the first occasion since the passage of the constitutional amendments that resort has been had to what is here called “exceptional measures.” The extreme party among the Czechs, far from regretting the interference of the West Aus- trian government, regard that interference rather as etriumph and as anew proof that they neither de- sire nor respect the present dualistic regime in the empire. Just asthe Fentans rather rejoice at than regret the suspension of the British constitution in Dublin, so do the nationalists of Bohemia regard, either with indifference or satisfaction, the suspen- sion of the guarantees for individual liberty im Prague. The same number of the Qficiat Gazette which publishes the aforesaid proclamation relieves Baron Von Kellersperg, whose insulting expression 8 concernt: vr. Herbst, the Minister of Justice, I Mentioned in my last ,from the post of Stadthalter of Bohemia. Thus at the present moment the three posts of Prime Minister of the West Austrian Cabi- het, of Stadthalter of Bohemia and of Stadthalter of Galicia are vacant or held only provisionally. Yesterday the last of the seventeen West Austrian Dieta closed their this year’s session, after a career ef seven weeks. They give way to the Reichsrath, which will reassemble on the 17th inst, In the last week of its session the Lower Austrian Diet passed two important measures. One of them was a petition to the Kelchsrath praying tt to abolish the present system of indirect elections to the Reichsrath and to introduce (with the consent of the respective Diets) a system of direct elections. The Lower Austrian Diet declares its wish to resign its present electoral rights in favor of its constituents, As itis known that several of the Diets, ws ly the Galician one, are as strongly in favor of indirect elec- tions as the Lower Austrian ia in favor of direct ones, it 18 proposea to make the ebange a permissive one, so that each province ay decide for itself how it will conduct its elec- Foe to the Reichsrath, The other weighty subject touched and advanced by the Lower Austrian Diet this weck,is that of the reguiation of the bed of the Danube, with a view to allow the city to advance rthward aud eastward to the maim arm of the ae ania aidan Coa ces mere! u can!

The parti pretre were not content with throwing out the government measure, but they passed amended jaw, according to whioh the bishops wil have un- divided control over the common schools of Tyrol. It ls expected that the government will reply to the refractory Diet by a penat dissolution of the same, ‘The Oficial Gazette of Monday last devotes two columns and a third to au argumentative denial of the current on dice that conflicts of Jurisdiction and consequent uneasiness bad arisen between Baron Beust, the lmperal Chancellor, and the Auers- perg ‘Cabinet, and Tuesday's Gageve Lrought an oMcial denial of the yccrtion that Minister Berger, the wit of the “at bac been exercising Dis wit at the expense of the ininistry In general, or of acy one of his vobeagues in particular, Count Goluchowsk!

TURKEY. Definite Closure of the Dardanelles Agains: Ships-of-War—Loss to Constantluople—Di- lemma of the Porte—The Syrian Troubles Fuad Pacha’s Departure for Italy—Omcial Letter to the United States Minister. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 8, 1868, A8 @ consequence of the visit of the Russian frigate Alexander Nunsky, closely followed by the United States frigate Franklin, and perhaps as @ broad hint to Congressmen not to introduce any more resolu- tions respecting the free passage of the Turkish straits to foreign vessels, the Porte has issued a cir- cular to all the legations announeing the decision of the Sultan that in future the straits shall remain closed to all foreign men-of-war—while peace con- tinues in Turkey—excepting only those wig have on board sovereigns or chiets independent States. No allusion is made in the circular to the treaty of Unklar Skellessi, of 26th June, 1833, whereby in case of need, to be esti- mated by the Russian Ambassador, Turkey bound herself to close the Dardanelles against the French and English fleets, while the Bosphorus was to be left open for the free entrance of the Russians, thus becoming the ally of the Czar, offensive and defen- sive, Great political changes having taken place in the meantime, shortly after the death of Sultan Mah- moud another treaty was signet at London in 1841 by which the Porte engaged to keep both straita closed toall Tore, ships-oi-war while at peace with other Powers. What was the consequence? At the mo- ment of the breaking out of the Crimean war the Black Sea, its ports and fortifications wero a sealed book to the navies o1 Europe. The defences and re- sources of the great military port of the Crimea were enveloped in mystery in consequence of the self-inflicted prohibition of the “great Lowers’ it their ships-of-war visiting Constantinople and the Black Sea. Were the navies of the world treely permitted to cruise in and visit the ports of the Black Sea every suspicious preparation made in Russian ports for acts of hostility against Turkey would be immediately detect>d by the practised eye of the naval officer and reported to his government. Previous to the time of steamers and teleprapns kus- sia might have made an attack on and perliays have occupied Constanunople for weeks before 1¢ would have been known in Paris or London, but at the present Russia cannot set an intrigue afloat that is not immediately published all over Europe. ‘The business of the capital would doubtless profit largely were these restrictions removed, as the fleets which would be frequently visiting here would leave a large sum of money annually which 1s now expended elsewhere, principally in Greek ports, Pireus and Syria. In tact, [ see no gain, but a positive loss, to the Turkish government as @ conse- quence of this regulation. Should war occur be- tween any foreign Power—the United States, for example—and Russia, and an American fleet wero sent to attack the Black Sea ports, the Turkish gov- ernment would find itself in an awkward dilewima. If 1% permitted the feet to pass it would be con- sidered an act of war against Russia. If it refused the monitors would attempt the passage in detlance of territorial authority, and the Sultan would thus become an ally of his natural enemy and rival. The Franklin is the second frigate we have had here since the Crimean war. The other was the Wabash, Captain Barron, in November, 1858, which was visited by Sultan Abdul Medjid. Nothing is yet known of tae facts connected with month of last March, because of last March was produced her Majesty’s government, (ilear, hear.) Bvt somehow or other, though: her governn ent had never said they wouid uot reier W that pian, yes unquestiongoly they lad, for the moment «at a! events, turned their backs upon it, and as they have tarned their back upon it, aad a3 for many reasons I don't approve it, I will not troubie you at present with @ discussion on that pian, Now, having dis- posed of three, we come to the fourth plan—to the Plan that ts recommended to you by those among the conservative candidates who have ventured to open their mouths atallon the subject. (Laughier.) But these are gentlemen, it is right that I should say, Who, though they canuot endure the removal of the Irish Church establishment—notwithstanding that, men who, they beg you to believe, are very favorable to the removal of abuses, though as far a6 I know they have given very litule information on the supject. (Laughter.) Buti have seen one or two of them who say that they wish that some of the recommendations of thia commission should be acted upon for the removal of abuses in the Church of Ireland, Now, I have heard of no pian for the removal of abuses except the plan of the Church com- mission, I feel, gentlemen, that this is one of our dim- culties. We are ip opposition, we are not the govern- ment of the countfy, and yet we are in this strange and extraordinary position, that while we are propos ing @ policy to direct the government of the coup- try the government of the country, the Queen's ministers, propose no policy in answer to ours. (Cheers.) But although they have nog ventured to propose any policy, although they will be waiters upon Providen jauguter)—looking for the mo- ment which way the cat is abouts to jump— (laughter)—and perfectly ready to come to any con- clugion, establishment, dises:ablishment or anything else you like—(laughter and cheers)—so soon as it 8 clear the adventure would Be likely to be a good one—(cheers)—for the present we must consider that to be the pian actually before us, Let us see what is the plan of the commission. There are, gentle- men, & matter of twelve bishops in Te ey purch, and the first important recomamendauon of the com- Inission ig that we should bury four of them. (Laughter.) Not to bury the actual men them- selves—(laughter)—but to bury what they call “cor- porations.” (Caughter,) For you must know that every bishop @ see and every in- cumbent of @ pariah has in law a ‘“corpora- tion sole,” and four or six ‘corporations sole” they propose to bury. Well, gentlemen, this proposition of the commission, I stop to guy, is by no means the most liberal bid that has been made. These are all, you will understand, gentiemen, Dids to save tue residue of the proj meee oF the Irish Church, The Irish Church, couside a8 a@ spiritual boay, is cer- tainly no richer by burylug four of {ts bishops, but the residue ot the Irish establishment is. Wel., then, gentlemen, besides—these bishops being disposed of and put away in this indecorous manner (to which [ entirely object)—besidea this, it is proposed to re- duce the income of the bishops. Now the tacome of the bishops in Ireland is various—soine of them have More and some of them have iess—and it ts proposed to place them all at £3,000 @ year. But there is a most pen aro proposal in the report of the coinmis- sion, and it 18 thiss—The Irish bishops, you may be aware, sit in Parliament by returns, by rotation; aod the proposal of the commissioners that any bishop who sits in Pariianw st shall for the year when he sits in Variament have £500 extra to pay his expenses. (Laugh‘er and cheers.) Aye, but wait @ moment; don’t be in a hurry; pray recollect what this 1s, it ts our old friend, the Wp roel of members,” one of the five points of the charter, (Renewed laugiter and ap- plause,) I certainly did not expect to find thai this pias of paying gentlemen to sit in Parliament, which a8 always been objected to vehemently, as far as 1 know, by the whole conservative party and by a very large portion of the 1 party in thia country, and which 1s not approv@.at uii—(hat it was first of all to come out under the authority of a commission appointed by the Crown and haviug for ils purpose to save the Irish Established Church. (lear, hear.) That recommendation, Se ienen does not very in the month the plan of the recenlly discovered Sonsplcay at Pera. Two men and two women have been arrested, all of whom are kept closely confined, and no one is per- mitted to see or have communication with them. ‘The only clue to the cause of their arrest is that one or both of the young men have had intimate busi- ness reiations with the Sultan’s nephew and heir ap- parent, One of the accused isa Russian, but toe Kussian embassy, fearing to be accused by public opinion of complicity in the supposed plot, has, con- trary to its usual custom, refrained from claiming its subject. In the meantime the examination of the accused 1s being conducted by the Minister of the Police with closed doors and in the most secret man- ner, and the whole affair has been concealed from his Majesty to avoid exciting bis indignation against his nephew. There are many rumors respecting the ob- ject of the plot, and it 1s generally believed that the plan was to assassinate the Sultan in order to hasten the ascent of Murad Effendi to the throne. long been understood that the Sultan is a favorable occasion to change the succession from the son of his brother (the eldest male member of the family) to his own son, now a lad of twelve years of age, in Imitation of the Viceroy of Egypt, who two years since obtained the imperial sanction to a change of the Egyptian succession from his brother, Mustapha Fazyl Pacha, to his son, now about seven- teen years of Simultancously with the Pera lot came a@ report of something like an insurrection Syria, 8 country which has remained Fomarkably quiet and peaceful since (ue departure of the Frenc army of occupation six ye: ince. it appears that a certain onel O'Reilly, who has been for some years in the ‘furkish army under the name of Hassan Bey (once an Irish revolutionist of Smith O’Brien notoriety), having undertaken to uid @ road from ‘iripoli to the Euphrates, pur- chased 100 camels fro rs. Digby (formerly Lady Ellenborough, now the wife of @ Bedouin Sheik). O’Rellly pretends that, having advanced the pur chase money to the ex-lady, her Arab husband re- fused to deliver the camels, whereupon O'Reilly, with his Europeans and @ force {rom another tribe of Bedouins, attempted to take them by force. It ap- pears that O'Kelly and party were weil prepared for attack or defence, as Mrs. igoy writes that, while keeping themselves at a safe distance, they poureda rfect hailstorm of bullets from their breech- joadera, while their allies, a rival tribe of Bedoutns, carried away the camels, by which cannonade thirty camels were killed. Mrs. Digby further fo hd o tela had two cannon and a supply of shelis with im, and that among followers were men of all nations, including Circassians English, Americans, Hungarians, Turkomans, &c. O'Reilly is @ most thorough adventurer, and all the members of his band were much of the same charac- ter. The only American I have heard of likely to be of his party is a certain Canfleld, formerly United States Consul at Athens, who, | am informed, was with him. The fact that the party were so well pro- vided with arms gives some color to the report that a were making to create an insurrection in Syria inst the Porte. Is was Tumored that the movement was start- ed by Mustapha Fazyl Pacha or by the aid of funds supplied by him. However this may be the Porte has sent a reinforcement of troops #, Syria as a pre- cautiol measure, and in the meSntime these cru- saders nineteenth century have been arrested and sent for trial to Damascus.

ENGLAND. Mr. Qladetene on the Irish Church, ‘The following extracts are taken from the speech of Mr. Gladstone, which was delivered before the electors of Newton, Lancashire, on the 1%h ultimo: Muoh blame has been bestowed upon the members of the Laid ty, and upon myself not the least among them, because we were determined to raise the question of the Irish Church during the last ses- sion of Parliament, and because we were deaf to the Appeals that were made to us to wait until after the report of tie commission had been issued. (Cheers) Now, the report of the commission has appeared, and what is our position with respect to the policy which is to be pursued = the question of the Irish Church * at ie important subject, upon which it ts quite plain the principal issues wil! be on ip the elections thar how impending. neers.) Consequently I make no apology in en- ‘oring to lay before you what I consider to be ihe real merits, what I consider to be the particular points connected with that subject. Now, gentle ten, eonsider the various methods of proceeding that have been recommended with re t to the [rish Church, There is the method of standing still. (Laughter.) Well, it is mot necessary to say inuch about that method, It would be @ waste of your time to show you the doctrine of standing Sul it is ‘an Insult to your common sense—so gross &u insult toyonrcomwmon sense that it is mot even recom- mended by the opposite in Sap conDey, be- cause they go from place gay! “We are entirely opposed to Mr, Giadston d his schemes, though we ure for t moval of abuses.” There- fore, I will pat aside the plan of standing still. (Laughter.) The next plan is the plan we recom. mend—the plan of disestablishment—putting an end entirely to the State Church in Ireland. (Cheers.) We will not discuss that, because the merits of it we may discuss at other times. (Heat, hear.) The third plan was the piau of mull Chureh en- dowments in ireiand. (Hear.) iat Was @ plan which bas had + countenance in former times; and Wt hee Greet countenance os late as tue much help the report’ of tie commission. Well, the incomes of the bishops are to be reduced; tour sees are to be suppressed altogether and a number of benefices are to be suppressed; where there are not more than 40 members of the Established Church the benefice 1s to be suppressed. Now, I wonder, gentlemen, whether any of you could in- form me why there is to be a@ State income for a clergyman where there are 40 persons in the parish, and why there should not be a State income where there are less than 40? What do you think now has induced the commissioners— Ihave not heard an intelligible explanation of it— to fix upon that number? I own to you! am en- tirely at a loss. Now, forty wont make a congregat o1 for it i» only one in three that can atteud church al at a time, and thirteen, which is one-third of forty, is hardly a congregation. (Laughter.) I don’t know if there is a nan in this room who has an idea why the number forty was chosen. I, for my part, cannot ex- plain it, 1 cannot oifer @ reasouabie solution. gens hear,” and laughter.) Jt did occur to me hat perhaps it was because there are thirty-nine arvicles and one over. It is recommended that a number of chapters shall be suppressed, and it isrecommended that wherever itis possivle the parish clerk shall be consolidated into the grave digger. (Loud laugiter.) 1 am of opinion, gentiemen, that we have got beyond that, It is @ great deal too late to save the Established Chureh in Lreiand by consolidating pari=h clerks and grave diggers. After looking roughly over the thing, and really having few means of accurate computation, it seems to me, as well as I can reckon, that by ths bishops they would save something between £22,000 and £25,000 a year; that by the parishes they might save from £10,000 to £50,000 a year; that by the chapters they would save £10,000 @ year; and I cannot teil exactly, but I think they might save £3,000 or £4 009 @ year by the grave diggers. In England we have—it isa very rough coimputation—soine 20,000 Cog Por and I assume that there are twelve millions of sou's in land belo! to the Church of England; that 1s @ rough computation; and own opinion 1s there are more, but to be within the line Itake it at twelve millions. The revenues of the Church of Englaed may in round numbers be stated at £4,000,000, and it follows that if upon the average there is one clergyman for every 600 souls the clergy- man upon the average has £200 of revenue. When I consider the education these men have received— and the cost of that education, and the manner in which they give themselves to the work of consol- ing, instructing and guiding both young and old—1 honestly tell you that I think, the labor of what is called the working clergy coimpared with other labor in this country is about the cheapest lavor that any man gives. There is anotner Reins that I must mention to you. Yuo are told that the Irish Church is to be main- tained for the benefit of Protestantism. Now, that is not an unfair statement of mine. You know that is a favorite argument of all those who are opposed to us, and you are reproached probably—many of us are, at all ‘events, reyroached—from time to time with being the favorers of thc Roman Catholic reli- gion, With the Roman Catholic religion, gentlemen, we have nothing whatever todo. ‘she controvers: in which we are e1 is @ controversy of civ: justice, (Cheers.) We look on the Irish people as the Irish nation and what we say ia this—we refuse to withhold justice from them, not on the ground al- leged by you—namely, that they are Roman Catho- lies, but that they are entitled to justice as full and unrestricted as (Cheers.) 1 need not add they are entitled—of course they are entitied—to nothing more. But the allega- tion ts that this Ohurch is maintained for the benefit of Protestantism. Now, the fairest test of that is found in the number of Protestants that have been reared under the present system compared with the ether or Roman Catholic population of the country, (Hear, hear.) Now, you must recollect jedemedt ou Sik suet ect By og hack as judgment on subject ex y going as far as we can, und the earliest authentic statement that we have upon that subject is this:—In the ycar 1672 Sir William Petty, a statesman of that aay. Uae] the results of an inquiry—which 1 believe is admitted to have been not very far from tne truth—into the relative numbers of Protestants and Roman Catho- lca, and they were these:—Tacro were three Protest- ante for every eight Roman Catholics in Ireiand; ‘end, tn order that { may make the comparison in an intelligible manner, I will compare these different factions in the way in which we used to do when we went to school—that ia, I will reduce them to what is called a common denominator, and that means forty five Protestants to 120 Koman Catholics. That was the proportion tn 1672, some two hundred years ago, Ever since that time you have had the whole ecclesiaa- tical property of the country in the hands of a small minority under the name of supporting Pro- testantism, Not only that, but forthe greater part of that time you have had in operation cruel and abominable laws for the purposs of suppressing the oman Catholic religion by means that were grossly ed and unjust—(cheers)—and the strongest I’ro- (estant am you, lam quite sure, would say, if J } Wore to run through the particulars of these laws, even (ar strong language ia not too strong to de- | scribe the laWs.

I take them from Mr, Giffard’s ® book written In # totally diferent sense, $n, Savon fiing to pop Ry 0 the return, which 1s loose, but not very far from the mark,’'it 1s still said there were two Protestants for four Koman Catholics that is to say, 60 Protestants for 120 Homan Catho- Mes; therefore, you will observe, en that finder this pens! avstem, beginning In teva with | Protestants for 120 Roman Catholics, that they had by 112 years of persecution amended—ii ix is bo ve cailed ameaded—tie posiiion of Lue Protestants so far a3 W uve 60 lusiead Of 45 Protestants to 120 Kowan Catholics, At that time we began to relax the penal laws, In 1801—I now quote the authority of Mr. Musgrave, the historian of the irish revolu- tion, who 1s certain! very thoroughgoing par'l- san—in 1801, the al laws having now been mate- riaily relaxed and the Roi Catholics even adimit- ted to the elective franchise, he found that the Pro- tesiants were 40 Lo 120 Koman Catholics, having been #0 surne twenty years before, We then went on aud had further relaxation, We even admitted the Ro- man Catholics—and 1 am very thankful we did—to Purliginent, and in 1884 we had another religious census, and the proportion was now 1 Protestant to 4 Komar Catholics, or 30 Protestants 0 120 Roman Catholics. Now, gentlemen, in 1861 it is true there a a slight improvement—it @ fractional improve- ment.

But recollect what had Ranpened in the meantime—that awful famine of 1847, and the enormous wholesale exportation of the poorer population—that is, the Roman Qatholic posnlation of Ireland, across the Atlantic. There- re, geutiemen, I say that, although casually the return of 186118 @ trifle better than that of 1834, in reality, if you allow ever so moderately for the ope- ration of these powerful causes, it is 4 worse return whan that of 1834, and I reiterate the assertion that Protestantism, under the influence of this system, whioh we did once maintain in the form of penal laws—but then there was a kind of eiticacy, at any rate a kind of brutal and bad eilicacy attached to tt—aince we have relaxed those penal laws, while the system continues to be unjust, it has ceased to be effectual, and Protestantism has dwindied under its operation. Our motto is—Be just, and fear not.’ It may be that we have strong interesis arrayed against us, Never-mind. What we shall do, we shall use the slender means 1m our power to lay out the truth and the reason of the case before you. Having done that, as we shall do it from place to to place, we shal! a to you for aid; we appeal to you to lay aside all tumid fears and apprehensions, to on your guard against mistake and deiusion, to put on the ponies, of Englishmen—applause)— nay, more, I will add to clothe yourselves with that spirit of equity which ought to distinguish every Christian, and to carry our canse onward to a speedy triumph.

The following address has been prepared by the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society and for- warded to Madrid:— To THE PRES\DENT AND MEMBERS OF THE PRO- VisIONAL GOVERNMENT, Madrid:— MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN—The committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society de- sire respectiully to address the members of the pro- visional government of Spain on @ subject which is of absorbing Interest to the committee at the present crisis, In presenting thelr addresa the comunittee would emphatically disclaim any intention of dicta tion or of interference in political matters, ‘The committee cannot, however, help feeling the strong- est desire-—a desire no doubt shared by tue friends of freedom and humanity all over the world—that right and justice may prevail, and that in tue goodness and foverruling providence of God Spain may at length be blessed with a gooa government, just laws and well reguiated liberties, The committee would respectfully but carnestiy express the desire that, while the ‘eat buon of political freedom is acquired by the Spanish people, tue still greater blessing of personal freedom at the same time be conceded to the slave population in Ouba and Porto Rica, The emancipation of the siaves 1s an act imperatively demanded in justice to the staves themseives, and it is one which sound policy and the honor of the Spanish nation alike re- qure. For these reasons the committee hope that tie abolition of slavery and the siave trade may be among the first acts of the provisional governinent. ‘fo its eternal honor the provisional government in France in 1848 so acted in reference to slavery, and France has never had occasion to regret it. A simt- lar act would ennoble the new government, and not only exalt it in the estimation of England and France, but would bring Spain into sympanny with the other teading nations of the civilized world; it would algo in all probability stimulate Portugal and Brazil to follow so great an example. ‘The cominittee would venture most tfully to submit that any hesitation or delay at the present crisis in declaring emancipation may jong postpone the power of di it at it is admitted that dim- cultues exist, but the difficulties which may attend an immediate and signal act of justice are insignifi- cant in comparison with those mseparable {rom all half measures when dealing with a radical evtl, To do what ts right is @ first duty, and those who act upon this principle may safely leave the results in the hands of God. The right of a man to hisown personal liberty, to his own body, is surely 6 penn to all political and pecuniary considerations whatso- ever, kwancipation once declared all necessary ulations must follow in due course. ‘he committee deem it important to dwell w the fact that immediate emancipation took place without danger to the colonies of France, Hol- land, in the British island of Antigua, in Mexico, and still more recently in the United States of America; that the probationary ‘tod or Pp pees which accompanied the British act of emancipation led to numerous evils, the effects of which are felt to this day; and it is useful to men- tion that the government of Holland, having this act before it, framed its abolition act without an: apr Ber bationary term, It is also especially wort! rainy ie those ot = trary colonies Mi ce} he apprenticeship sy: were speedily com- pelicd to abolish it by ajecal acts Of their own Leg- islatures.
