From the True Democrat.
Canada WsSt~COlOrcd PCOplc..their Situation

NessrA Editors The undersigned was
appointed an agent by the friends of tl,s
Fugfive Slaves in Randolph, Marlboro,
Ravctma, and Windham, to visit and report
che wants of the fhgitvcs in Canada West,
and to administer to them such aid as was
committed to his care, by the friends Of the
slave in the above named places.
There nre in Canada West probably not
fnr from 5000 fugitives. II is impossible to
arrive ut the exact number, as they are daily
arriving, many of them having been hurried
away from the Free (7) States, where they
had accumulated some property; have sold
their possessions at great sacrifice, and are
In need nt present.
Large donations Of clothing have been for
warded, and as there are plenty of opportu-
mites for labor TO those who will labor, and
they can obtain provisions there cheaper than
on the Reserve, there cannot he much suffer
ing. Wheat is but four to five shilngs per
bushel. Corn three slillings per busheI.-
Pork three dollars per barrel.
Canada West is the place for the people
sf color to settle.
The soil is fertile, and well covered with
beautiful timber, and the rivers Thames aud
Sydenham are nayigable for vessels Of the
FIRST class, that sail upon the Lakes.
As good lnnd 'as lay before the sum- cnn
he purchased for $3.50 per acre, and suffi-
eiently near those rivers 10 afford them an
opportunity of shipping their wood to the
Detroit market.
There is steam mill owned by colored
men at Dawn, on the Sydenbnm river, that
this season loaded vessel with black wal.
nut lumber for the Boston market, al Sl4
per thousand.
Many of the people OF color are making
money in Canada West.
From what information ] could obtain
from the most reliable sources, there has
been sufficient donations TO meet their pres
sntnecessities, and unless Christmas holidays
shall furnish enlarged stampedes, there can
not he much need in Canada West.
The Eastern district did not visit, and Of
course cannot Judge.
Any donation that may hereafter be made,
had better be forwarded 10 Detroit, directed
20 the care of AIessrs. lIalock g. Raymond,
corner of Woodward and Jefferson Avenue,
who will give them their earliest attention,
and forward them to Committees of Vigi-
lance in the several settlements of colored
people.
But by all means make no donations in
grain, for all provisions can be obtained
cheaper here than there, and the gruin had
better be sold, and the money forwarded as
above directed, and thus the expense of
transportation, dockuge, dray0ge, terriage
and duty, &C., would be saved.
In conclusion, would say to the colored
people, by all means make your homes in
Canada, where your rights are at least politi-
sslly acknowledged, and become owners of
the soil, and identified with the interests of
ths country, and by habits Of industry and
economy, they can secure competency of
the comforts and even luxuries of life.
Yours, &C., WIN. STEDMAN.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
M,ihodI,t Ministers Speaking.


The world certainly does novel There
oould hardly be stronger evidence of the fact
than is afforded in the passage Of the following
preamble and resolutions at the meeting Of
Methodist Preachers held in this town a few
weeks ago. We copy them from the Pittsburgh
Advocate, where they appear over the sigma
,ure of Rev. ]. Montgomery;
Whereas, The Congress OF our country
has recently passed most Infamous law
and whereas, this law is in direct controven-
ton of the law of God aud the Constitution
of our country, prohibiting Christians rom
feeding the hungry and clothing the naked
and whereas, we deem this law disgrace to
TO the statutes of any civilized nation, and
much more TO Christian and whereas, we
deem il nm inhuman attempt TO bring those
of the Free Stutes, who ENJOY and have eve
nv right to their freedom, into the same guilt
aud condemnation with the slave holder
aud whereas, we believe in the language oi
MIR. Wesley that "American slavery Is the
yiest that ever saw the sun" Therefore,
l. Resolved, That we will obey God ratll-
or than man.
2. Resolved, That we deem it our duty to
raise our voices against sin IN botl high ana
low places, and that we will cry out against
the law referred TO above, as well as its
great parent, the sum of all villanies--
American Slavery.
Well, let those preachers live up to these
rcsolutions-let them withdraw their fellowship
from the Conferences which tolerate slavehold'
ing, and we will believe them in earnest. Toe
often such resolutions arc adopted merely from
policy, to propitiate growing anti-slavcry scnti
mcnt in or out of the Church. and with no in
tcntion of carrying them out in practice. Tn
sincerity of these clcrgymen must be proved o
disproved by their future conduct. Let then

WILLIAM w. BRowS.-We frequently receive
English newspapers containing reports of ad-
dresses on American Slavery by our fugitive
friend. lie is evidently doing good work in
that country by difTusing among the people au-
thentic information respecting the condition of
our slaves, and showing the British people how
they may cooperate with the friends of frec-
dom on this side of the Atlantic. We have be-
fore us the North and South Shields Gazette of
Nov. 20, in which We find report of speech
made by Mr.. Brown in South Shields on the
Fugitive law. In that speech he says: 1t was
my intention to have returned to America the
present Winter or coming Spring, but the hope
of seeing my dear children so soon has been
blasted by the passing of the new law. dare
not return to the land of my birth now, or if
should, would most likely be seized by the
man who claims my body as his property, and
the President Of the United States has said that
he will send the troops of the country to enforce
the new and odious law" What tale is this
to be told in the cars of European despots

friends from the country at the meeting to be

write that the meeting will be held in the Sec
ond Baptist Church but if not there, then at
the Town Hall.

CONSCIENCE OF HUNKER PRIEsT.-' Rev.
Nathaniel Bouton, D. d. of Concord, N. H.,
(the same that Rogers used irreverently to call
Nat. Bouton,) having swallowed the Fugitive
law without winking and wrapped his sacerdot-
al mantle around the apostatc Webster, re-
quested the Editor of the Independent Demo-
crat no longer to send that paper to him, as he
could not conscientio,siy' receive it into his

liver him over to his tyrant master with alac-

him to read an anti-slavery newspaper! The
sneak didn't even offer to pay arrearages

A sharp correspondence is said to have taken
place between the Austrian Minister at WASH

former having complained of this government
for sending an agent to Hungary, with instruc-

it should be established. There is talk oven OF
war between the two countries, but we presume
there will be nothing more serious than talk.

The TARIFF.-The Hunker Manufacture
ers of the North are doing their prettest to
procure such alterations in the Tariff as will
favor their interests. Having bowed them
selves before the Moloch of slavery, they
now beseoch their dear Southern brethren
to give them as reward of merit protcc-
ton to their water-wheels and spinningjen-
nies. The Shareholders seem rather sulky,
and we fear the doughfaces will not get their
sugar plums. They can't got wors than
they deserve.

out TO be no Ambassador at all, but only a
Lieut.. Colonel of the Turkish Navy, sent here
to acquire knowledge Of certain naval i'm
provcments in the U. S. dockyards. He has
been paradcd through the country as great
lion, Daniel Webster officiating as chief show
man. Daniel will probably feel now very much
as the negro did, who, on the supposition tha,
Whitfield was preaching on certain occasion,
throw himself on the ground in great apparent
agony, to show how deeply he was moved by
the eloquencc of that popular speaker. Being
told by ono who sought an explanation of his
conduct that it was not Whitfield but somebody
else, to whom he was listening, he jumped up
scratched his head and exclaimed, Dat is toe
bad-too bad--me dirty my new coat for noting.
