SENsIBLE.-The city papers at Toronto, of
the 4th inst, condemn the movements of Fred
erick Douglas and George Thompson, who have
been lecturing there against slavery, on the
ground that the interference of Canada in the
question is impolitic.
The Toronto Globe, one of the leading pa
pers, is now before US. In its issue Of the Sd
inst, we find a glowing eulogium on the indi-
vidual last referred to- which concludes MS fol-
lows.
"Toronto is torn by political and sectarian
divisions 1t wants such master mind as
Thompson's to draw public attention from the
whitening influence Of such associations, and to
direct it to such enlightened and eevatiDg topics
as the universal extinction of slavery. We can
not dwell on particular parts Of this admirable
address, when all was point and beauty. The
description of Calico coming out from the dun
geons of the lnquisition, and exclamng, in ref
erence to his alleged heresy of the earth's ro-
tundity-" 1t rolls STILL" told admirably against
the American Shareholders The impossibility
of matter subdung mind, was finely put But
we must merely refer to our report The audi
ence was highly respectable, although most of
our politicians and officials who would crowd
TO hear Jenny Lind, came not to listen to this
unrivalled advocate Of justice and humanity
The most of the Evangelical clergymen Of the
city were there, and the elite of the meeting
consisted of the same kind faces that are to be
seen at Bible, and Missionary, and other benevo-
lent societies. They at once received the ora
tor with applause, for their hearts have been long
made up about slavery. Probably, larger
class consisted of those who had never heard
George Thompson lecture, or even heard Of his
name, and who had never passed one thought
upon slavery.
ave watched the effect Of Mr. Thompson's ad-
dress on this class and never did the power of
eloqucnce and genius achieve more complete
triumph. Some whose countenances were full
in vision, sat with cold indifference and some
with half averted. distrus.ful looks The words
Of the speaker fell upon them Their attention
was first rvetted, anon their countenance be-
came unclouded and expressed deep interest
then followed warm enthusiasm or bunting in
! dignaton ns the orator told the tale of African
wrongs. We saw many tear quietly wiped
from many cheek. The triumph was complete.
When Nr. Thompson finished, tbunders of ap-
plause f lowed. They stopped, but il was to
commence again; and again and again was the
speaker cheered. We have said that it was
chiefly certain class in the community who
have taken this movement in hand, the same class
which set the ball a-rolling in the mother coun-
| try. that extinguished West India slavery They
| will not stand alone now, although few days

there were some exceptions. We saw Mr.
| Henry Sherwood the sheriff of the county, and
/ Captain Irving and we learn that Mr.. Tachc
receiver general, Hon. James Morris, and Mr..
Bourret, were also there The ball rolls" now
/ in Toronto and the day il not far distant when
few will be found to express doubt on the pro-
priety Of joining the universal cry to the neigh
boring Republic, let the oppressed 60 free"
DRoNEDARIEs-The New York correspondent
Of the Salem Register says:
"A day or two ago, saw drove Of 8 or {
dromcdories passing through Church street.
These great, ungainly, blg-footed, came-liks
creatures were destined, presume, for the 18th
mus Of Panama, where il is thought they ma,
prove better cerrios than mules, and curry mucl
larger burdens. The mueteers will not pm
more than 250lbs on single beast, and thi,
weight has to be about eqully divided Lik,
the camel, the dromedary is splendid fellow
for taking big load through an upwatcrcd des

hump"
