English corn laws are , in fact , the greatest bonus that could be given to the foreign manufacturer . This question will be found to be one of great importance . The Factory System is capable of being so regulated that great good may arise from it . Some of the mills are so admirably managed ,
that the children are not overworked , are cleanly , happy , and receive a good education . When the case of the mill owner is brought before Parliament , that fact will be proved ; as yet we have only seen the , in general , exaggerated statements of the management of the worst ; let us see the system in its best state . . Let that be the model , and let checks be interposed to prevent vice in mills as well as out of them . The evidence must not be confined
to the masters ; some of the children must also be examined . The mills of good and humane masters have already their advantages ; they have the choice of children and work-people ; for it must be obvious that good treatment will always have its reward . In their neighbourhood there is an anxiety in parents to get their children
placed in good mills . Let the subject be fully investigated and fairly discussed ; remove and prevent the bad , and preserve and improve the good ; and though Mr . Sadler ' s bill may have been both erroneous in principle and imperfect in detail , the gratitude of the factory children , of the masters , and the public , will be due to him for bringing the subject into discussion .

This Institution , which has been for some years in active operation on an extensive scale , begins to attract a large share of attention from the enlightened philanthropists on both sides of the Atlantic ; and very deservedly so , whether we consider the novelty and peculiarity of its plan , or the magnitude of the interests , both as the old continent and the new are concerned , which
are likely to be affected by its proceedings . As the subject has been frequently brought forward of late in this country , with a view of asserting its claims on the attention of the British friends of Negro Emancipation , it becomes important to examine its real character , and the mode in which the complete developement of the plans apparently contemplated by the Colonization Society are fitted to promote or retard the accomplishment of that most desirable object .
It is impossible , I think , to deny that what has hitherto been effected in the settlement of Liberia calls for high praise , and deserves the earnest wishes of every friend to the welfare of his species for its continued and complete success . It is not , therefore , from any indifference to the prosperity of that establishment , that I would call on the friends of the cause in this country to weigh the matter well before they give their unqualified support
