Its now estimated that 80 600 fugi,iyes are ain
dy in Canada, chiefly of the class of able-bodi
men and women These, at home, would average
value 81 900. or at least $500, summing up twen
four millions Of dolIars-the absolute loss to I
capital Of four States. But added to this, there
still remaining in The northern States, as servan
about SIX thousand negroes, who, not fearing P,
suit, have not crossed into Canada. These, SIC
each-a low figure for first class slaves, as the IT
Always almost uniformly are-would add $6,00O,t
more-making the aggregate at this time, at the 10
est calculation, $4,000, 600 which the slave own
have to lose, and from which they have no resort.
Now, the rate Of escape to Canada averages tw
~ persons per day, taking the figures of 1855 a
basis. This would give to 1856, 1900 persons
which. at $500 each, would add IS $40 900 per y
four States are to suffer in direct loss
