Synopsis
Excerpt from A Full Report of the Proceedings at the Meetings of Messrs.: Thompson and Borthwock, at Dalkeith 22d March, 1833
Speech and confession of British Colonial Slavery from the lips of its last advocate. Altogether the thing was painful and humiliating, and we could not but enter into the feelings of the fraction of the Colonial party present. The assemblv, consisting at most of 300 individuals, greeted the able orator with avery hearty hiss, a sufficiently 'mortifying salutation to a man who, five or six years ago, was a townsman of their own. A good many ladies were present - a very few of whom supported him now and then by their applause. Among the company we observed his for midable opponent, surrounded by several friends who had accompanied him from Edinburgh, and diligently occupied intaking notes.
