Within the few past weeks unusual
numbers of French Canadians have mass
ed through this town on their way to the
United States. A gentleman in this VI
entity counted upward of fifty who passed
his house during last week, and TO all an.
pearance the number is not less this week.
Many look upon this as one Of the many
omens OF coming CONFUSION, and suppose
that the emlgrantS are on their way to
join some rendezvous Of the disahected in
the United States. We think a much
more satisfactory cause for the emigra.

provisions IN several of the French dis

especially those who were engaged in the

from want at home, and grasp at the pros

Now, admitting that 3. did nothing from the
period of AS. deceasc up 10 the moment ofeman-
ccation, to continue the free by which tie slaves
were still held as slaves-and that, indeed, so far

To us it seems clear, that B. cannot, in any
sense, be considered as having made himself a
Shareholder. He has done nothing more than in

in the providence of God, could do it. BY usiug
the law Of Liberty he has rescued a grateful peo,

take other property in lieu Of the moety of the
slaves to which he was legally entitled, does not

B., claiming no property in aay of the slaves, so
far as they acre affected by is--and, in this az

The TOwnshend Resolutions.

In giving publicity to the resolutions Of the
Townshend Convention, we feel bound to enter
our emphatic dissent to the fourth, which speaks
lapprovingly Of colonization, "as a missionary en-
terprise." tits marvellous, that such resolution
should have passed an anti-savery meeting. We
will, in charity, presume that it was carried in
the absence of Judge Phelps Judge Shafter, Mr.
Graves, and others, whose names appear in the
minutes. Before God we believe that Liberia
may rather be regarded as the DEVILS recruiting
rendezvous. Let the whole history of colonial
ton be thoroughly scanned, from its inception in
slavehoding Virginia, in 1900, down to the present
period, and we dare say that the business OF COM
mending colonization as missionary enterprise"
will Re left entirely to its slaveholding heather
making adherents in the slaveholding states, with
now and then responsive echo from our pro-
slavery Chronicle at home. How strange, that
among the 100000 colored free people of our land.
the instance is yet to be found of public meet
ing of that class giving in their adhesion to colo
nzation, even as missionary enterprise. Time
would fail US to recount their burning protests
against the entire scheme. Scarcely less empha;-
c is the testimony Of American missionaries in
Africa, whose observation has given them the
umplest opportunity to judge Of the influence Of
the colonies on the cause of missions. We beg
our Windham county brethren to review their
opinions with care We would especially refer
them 10 the repeated testimonies OF Mr. Wilson,
as given in the Missionary Herald, down to June
last Meanwhile, we submit the following, in
support of the proposition, that the influence Of
the colonies upon religion as highly injurious:

apprehension that the colony might embarrass our

that the mission is to be entirely distinct from the

thus pervert it have the greater sin and are held

in sacred pleasures seek sinful ones as Il subst-

Providence should stand associated with gratitude

through whose mediation we have hope of future,
everlasting blessings. In all our gadness on this
joyous OCCASION let US not therefore, forget that
all these blessings were procured by suffering
by the suffering even unto death of Him who gave
himself for us.
The abundant harvest Of the past season has
been gathered in, and our store-houses are filled
with plenty. II we have reason to complain, it
is of our own follies; if to mourn, it is over our
