And how are we to satisfy ourselves? Would Mexico in its present state of development consent to be thus judged by the agents of a foreign power upon a question of humanity and morals. Would the United States submit to such an inquisition? And even so what probability is there of a favourable result?
It is therefore submitted that this traffic - lucrative though it may be - cannot be carried on by British subjects under the authority of the British Government. Still less is it desirable that His Majesty's Government, casting aside the restraints which their predecessors have observed for more than fifty years, should themselves take positive action by repealing the existing ordinance to facilitate and encourage such a traffic. Least of all should they select this particular moment for such a departure.
