" Judge Tucker says; " This petition produced noefTcct, as appears from the first clause of our CoNSTrruTioN, where, among acts of misrule, ' the inhuman use of the royal negative, ' in refusing us per- * Virginia Bill of Rights, art. 1. 10 mission to exclude slaves frum us by law, is enumerated among Ilie reasons for uparaling/rom Great Britain. " The clause in the constitution of Virginia is in lliese words:: " Wlierrns, Oeorse the Third, King of (;rpnl Britain and Ireland, and Elector of Han...over, liercioforf intiustrd with ; the exercise of the kingly office in this lioverniuent, hath endeavored to pervert the same into a detestable and insup- portable tyranny, putting his negative on lavva the most ' wholesome and necessary for the public good ;"' [Here fol- ■ lows an enumeration of other acts ;] by prompting our ne- groes to rise in arms against us — those very negroes whom, ! by an Inhuman use of his negative, he hath rulused us per- oas^sion to exclude by law. " Juilge Tucker adds: '•The wishes of the people of this colony were not suffi- cient to counterbalance tlie interest of the English mer- chants trading to Africa, and it is probable, that however disposed to put a stop to bo infamous a traffic by law, we should never have been able to elTect it, so long as" we might have continued flependent on the British Government; an object sufficient of itself to justify revolution.
