Fugitive Slave.

The General Assembly of the State of Mis-
souri, has addressed a petition to Congress, on
the subject of Fugitive Slaves, which talks as
follows
Your memorialists, the General Assembly Of
the State of Missouri, respectfully represent that
the citizens of the State are annually subjected
to heavy losses of property by the escape of their
slaves, who pass through Illinois, and finally find
IA secure place of refuge in Canada. Under the
existing laws Of Canada, and the treaties between
Great Britain and the United States, it is impos-
sible to recover a slave who has once escaped to
the Canadian shore. The slaves that are recog-
nized by our constitution and laws as individual
property, are frequently lost, and the unfortunate
Slaves are decoyed into a cold and bleak region.
utterly unsuited to their habits and constitutions,
are rendered more miserable and degraded than
when they lived as slaves. In order to afford a res
medy for this great evil, we respectfully request
that measures may be taken to have negotiations
instituted between our own National UoVern-
ment and Great Britain, to provide Tor some sa-
%tisfactory mode for preventing the escape OF our
slaves into the British possessions, ana Tor their
annrehensions and delivery after they have cros-
sed the northern lakes. We request that a firm,
earnest and persevcring effort may be made BY
negotiation, to secure the property ana Just rights
of the slaveholding States, and that the same
may be established on a firm basis by an hoaor'
able treaty."
The above is interesting in several points Of
light.
L. 1t shows that Shareholders feel deeply tho
loss of the slaves that escape. Let our under-
ground railroad boys push the business,

lures among the Canadian snowbanks.

4 Horrible Story.

The following story is too bad almost for pub
LEGATION, yet the truth should be told. The writ

ton, the reader will known where the response

DEAR BROTHER LEE -
A few years since, one ofmy neighbours, while
descending the Mississippi river in a f~fat-boat, ON
landing at a plantation, witnessed a most revolt
ing scene of cruelty, which he related in SUBJ
STAGE as follows
A female slave was at work in a field, where
she was compelled to keep her infant child, that
was sick and hungry. The poor mother was
panied at seeing her little babe sick and starving,
and obeying the holy dictates of a mothers feel
ings, she dug two potatoes from her masters po-
tato ground, and roasted them in a fire near where
she labored, and gave them to her furnishing infant,
For this offence she was stripped entirely MI
ked, and bound with a cord, and beat almost to
death The narrator approached the scene of
cruelty, and begged the monster with tears to
desist, but was answered only with bitter ours
es. He continued to beat her in a most cruel
manner, cutting her back, limbs, and breasts
with his lashes, until her milk from her breasts
mingled with her blood ran down to the ground
ming lLlle Holes neiI WlCIC Sic StOOu. III JIG
midst of this heart-rending scene, our friend
became so excited that he ran furiously on the
miserable murderer, and attempted to stop him
by force. His men now interfered, and bore
him off to his boat, or his interfering would have
probably cost him his life.
Such helLdeserving cruelty occurs every day
in the Slave States. Thousands are dashed and
beaten on their backs and limbs until they carry
huge scars from childhood to their grave. Yet
flowing blood and scalding tears, piteous groans
and imploring looks, move not the steeled hearts
of their cruel oppressors.
The system that admits such cruelty is toler-
ated in many of the Christian churches, $50 CALL
ed,) Ministers %sanctify it from the pulpit, and
endeavor to support it from the Blble-whlle
thousands of professors uphold it at the ballot
box, and thus continue its existence by all these
and various other means.
Now, my dear brethren, on with the armor of
righteousness, and rush boldly into the battle.-
We are small beside Amalek but " if God be
for us, who can be against us F' Truth is
mighty, and shall prevail"

A Circulating He.-During a speech on the
Wilmot Proviso, Mr., Brinkerhoff, Of Ohio,
paused and drew a half a dollar from his pocket,
and holding it up so that every member of the
House could see what it was, said, Sir look
at this, sir-look at this, and see its inscription.
"Liberty' is stamped upon it. Shall we strike
it out and insert slavery, or shall we hereafter,
in the face of the world, continue to use it as
a circulating lie? Yes, for a circulating lie
or shall we make it tell the truth?
