The Louisville Courier publishes a paragraph
entitled "a Nut for the Abolitionists and e.
pecially cOmmends it to THE TRIBUNE. Tho
kernel OF this nut is that two slaves having es-
capped from Kentucky to Canada soon wished to
return and so wrote to their master, Jas. Shaw
han Of Harrison County. The latter accordingly
went to Canada for them, but an Abolition mob
prevented them FROM returning with him.
We assure The Courier that there is no diff
Guilty in cracking this nut; we have cracked
several like it before. The effect of Slavery is
to deprive man Of habits of self-reliance and it
is quite possible for a slave brought up on a
plantation as mere animal, working and fed
like a horse not to be able 70 make the best uss
Of his liberty on regaining it, nor to feel the
value OF the change from bondage to freedom.
That occasionally an escaped slave is unable to
take care Of himself and prefers the kennel life
Of a plantation Is not to be wondered at there
fore, and it only proves how bad system must
be which can take away from man all his power
Of sclfsustentation and reduce him 70 the level
Of seryile dependent Of another.
But this il mere drop in the ocean. There
are now about A,0oO 900 slaves (how frightfully
they increase y and Of these some $50, say, run
away every year. How many OF this 100000
would run away if they could, and how many
would return How many, too, Of the 800 who
now get eff 20 back Here is nut for thu
slave-driyers to crack. Let Tic Louisville Cou-
riSr try it.

CANADA.

Yesterday his Excellency Sir Edmund Head
closed long and somewhat eyentful session of
the Canadian Legislature by propagation. The
measures of this session will stand ont promi-
nently in the future history of the Province.
They will be regarded as forming boundary
line between an old and new order sf things.
OF the long list of measures passed by far the
most important are those FOR the abolition of
the feudal tenures and the seeularization Of
church property 10 tie value of about IS, 000,-
Geo, which bore the name of Clergy Reserves.
Both of these measures originated in European
notions Of government which experience has
shown 10 be impracticable on this Continent.
| Col. Graves simcOe, an English officer in our
revolutionary war, fancied that he had discov-
cred the cause Of the disaEection OF those Col
onies that had thrown or the English yoke, as
well as remedy against the recurrence of a
Ike state OF things in any future Colony of En-
GLAND. He wrote 10 the British Government
assuring Ministers that to the neglect 10 estab-
lsh an Anglican Hierarchy the disafection, re-
volt and independence OF the thirteen Colonies
were owing. To back this statementhe brought
the authority of bis own experience and obser-
walton. and be recommended the setting up IN
the remaining North American Provinces OF a
complete religious establishment TO mold the
sentiments and form the opinions Of the people.
The Archbishop of Canterbury naturally vel
coined such advice; and the Ministers OF she
day, Pitt and Grenville, were not backward in
adopting it. The first step was to establish an
Anglican bishoprie in Nova Seofis Next by
an act of the British Parliament passed in 1871,
ii was provided that of all the lands in Canada
one seventh should be reserved with the view Of

An allusion to the pardon of several notorious
conyicts in the THE TRrByNE few days ago has
attracted considerable attention IT seems to
be admitted ON all hands that great abuse has
existed in the exercise of the pardoning power
Where the blame or where the remedy lies is not
so clearly seen. We learn that not less than
2,O0O applications for pardons were considered
by Gov. Seymour, and that the applications,
verbal and written, average three day the
year round. 1t is not strange perhaps, that
some unworthy cases should be hyorably re-
ceived and favorably decided among so great
crowd. We believe it is the custom Of the Ex-
eoutive to require letters of concurrence in
each case from the Judge or Recorder the Dis
trict-Attorncy, the Inspectors and the Warden
of the Prison, before granting pardon. With
these precautions, it would seem that but few.
if any, errors could be committed. Yet in the
very cases mentioned all or nearly all these OIL
cials are said 60 have been IN favor Of extending
clemencyito the criminals. Only two Of the
cases occurred under the present Administra-
ton, and in those we learn the pardons were
only obtained by the decided and pertinaoious
appeals of those whose duty it is to prosecute
and try such criminals.
Every prisoner has a mother, sister, a fatber,
brother, husband or wife who considers ii duty
to besiege the Executive for pardon as soon az
their relative is fairly in prison. They easily
procure petitions numerously and respectfully
signed, and thus armed commence their work.
If they are backed up by the Judge, the Jury
and the District-Attorney, it will readily be
seen that Governor must be possessed Of moro
than usual frmness if he does not too often
yield. The public never know of all these ap-
pliances and hence when great rogue is par
doned wonder and astonishment are excited at
the apparent ease and readiness with which the
Executive opens the prison door.
The whole subject is surrounded with difficult
ties and we are confident that the Governor has
no more trying and responsible duty than the
consideration Of the numerous and urgent sp-
peals for his cemency in such cases. And it
seems better that he should err on the side OF
mercy than on the side of severity.

of il IS permitted to remain. We hsve on a
former occasion fully explained the nature and
merits Of this question. The transplanting of
tie feudal system to that Province was intended
70 establish the same degrading system Of castles
which prevailed in France, under whose soye-
reilnty the country then was. As We see in the
impossibility Of maintaining the Reserves the
failure OF the attempt 70 establish a dominant
state Church in Canads, so thefmpossibity of
maintaining the feudal system marks the failure
Of the attempt to establish distinctions which
have no existence in nature or reason. 1t is
but Justice to the seigniors or landlords of the
Province to admit that, with one or two insig-
nifcant exceptions, they met the question OF
the inter abolition Of all their feudal privileges,
lucrative. personal and social, in manly
ard honorable spirit. They did not resort
to the absurdty of defending their menaced
rights On the ground Of their irrevocabllity.
They never once called in question the authorl-
II Of the Legislature TO sweep every vestige OF
feudslsm away. They instructed Dir. Duncan,
tbeiradvocate. who at the bar Of the Legislative
Council very ably managed their case, TO say
that they regarded it as question of State poll
cy for the Legislature to say whether 1t would
take away one or all of their feudal rights of
whatever nature; that to the utter abrogation
Of them oil they had no objections that they
would net set their hearts upon the rights OF
fanaikv if il were declared to be for the public
interest that 1t sheuld be abolished; that they
did not desire to maintain even the iod' ct rsH'es
in defiance Of public opinion and TO the detr-
ment Of the public veal: that in short they
were willing to surrender any and every per-
sonal privilege. To the surrender OF every
thing they possessed in the shape OF a feudal
right they attached only one condition: if the
public demanded the sacrifice of regular sources
of income they asked only compensation for the
less.
The whole of the lucrative rights the land
lords are required to surrender are to be valued
and compensation is to be accorded to them.
This compensation is to come from several diff
ferent sources, including the tavern licenses of
Lower Canada and some other excise duties,
the revenue the Government seignory of Lau-
ION, and if required $500, 900 is to come out of
the consolidated revenue of the Province.
In the passing of these two measures much
has been done TO tranquilize the Provinces for
more than any others, if not all others put to-
eether, these two questions Of Clergy Reserves
Secularizatiou aud Feudal Tenures Abolition
have been sources of irritating excitement and
perpetual agitation. We congratulate our neigh
bors beyond the line on their final settlement.
