Condition of. Fugitive Slaves in
d. t. CHnad2.

. .
The Albany Argus of Monday last, under
the head of Starving Fugitive Slaves in
Canada," publishes the following: ..,.. ..,
ave have received circular calling at
tention to the condition of the fugitive slaves
in Canada. 1t comes from cotored people,
we presume, and is signed J.J. Rice, Am
herstburgh. II states that they are in great
want and destitution. and in need OF bed
ding, fannels and clothing generally suited
to the climate, food, medicines, and assist
ance in every shspe. Rice states that he
has lived in Canada thirteen years "on Incl
dental donations, snd sometimes on scant
fare" He denies that the Government does
anything fot the fugitives, and appeals to
American aboltionists for early aid on be-
half of his suffering fellows, reminding them
that ''to furnish bedding, g. to a destitute
family just from slavery, is what slavehold'
crs, who work the colonization enterprise,
do in Liberia" pga,sai0 l4
Rice, we fear, appeals to deaf ears and
close-shut purses. Negrophily prefers mass
conventions, political action: and double
tracks for underground railroad, to caring
for the passengers after they have reached
their uncomfortable destination. 1t prefers
election tickets to checks payable to fugi-
4ives in Canada. 1t delights rather in long
speeches than in large collections 1t thinks
to be "herd for its much speaking" 81
that the poor negroes across the borders
may perish with cold and starvation in the
fierce Canadian winter, if opponents Of the
Nebraska iniquity" be only returned tc
Congress in the fall election. Great i.
humbug!" aa ne s.a .alfss ''t @1et3pg

The Strange Cask.

Considerable bruit has been made about a
cask said to have arrived at theCanton depot
which was opened and found to contain pis-
tolls aud bowie-knives, and which was claim
ed and removed by Catholic PRIEST
The agtators of this subject seem to think
that lie we'll stuck to is as good as the
truth. The latest edition says that small
cannon was shipped to Canton in the same
mysterious manner. The editor of the Por-
tage Co. Democrat says he has the name OF
the correspondent who vouches for the ver-
ity of the cask and cannon business; very
likely.-but then nobody in Canton would be-
lieve that correspondent, whoever, he is

English Oppression.

English papers, says the Detroit Free
Press, are very fond Of Prating about the
horrors Of American slavery, and denounce-
ing our whole people as wicked oppressors,
because Of the existence of that institution
in our midst. Ifthey would somewhat con-
tract the extent of their vision, and cast their
eyes over their own country, they would cas-
lily discover instances ofoppression sanction
dby the laws under which they live, far
more terrible than any which can be found
among the cotton fields and rice and sugar
plantations the southern States. Only
within month past, case Of legal tyranny
has come TO light in England, which is alb
solutely appalling. 1t appears that man
by the name Of WILLIAM MILLER has been
imprisoned in Winchester Jail for thirty.nne
years for debt-spending the last three years
and eight months in solitary confinement
Some humane persons, recently hearing of
his case, had him transferred to the Queens
Prisons at London, where he now enjoys what
is to him comparative liberty. The New
York Times, in noticing the fact, makes the
following very appropriate coments:
"This poor fellow entered his prison when
another sovereign was on the English throne.
The black walls closed on MIN when the
railway the electric telegraph and the Da.
guerreotype were unknown in England
What a strange revulsion of feeling he must
have experienced when he stepped from his
cell into the express train that was to carry
him to London! For more than half his
life he had been dead to the world, seeing
no face but his Jailors, hearing no voice
but that Of the Superintendent on his diurnal
rounds. Spiders and rats were perhaps his
only company, and through his grated win
dow he could see just enough of the blue
sky to tell him that there was world out
side. If this is not slavery, and
slavery Of the worst kind, we should like to
know what is. What negro on cotton or
sugar plantation in the Southern States
would change with William Miller. o, mo-!
the sunny freedom of the cornfelds, and the
pleasant dances in the log cabin and The sac
charine meals of sugar-cnne, are, with all
their drawbacks, preferable to that awful
penance of thirty-n years, passed in dark,
unwholesome cell and on prison fare"
The British people live in glass house,
and should not throw stones.
