Sentiments Of Northern Dem ocrats.
We take the following extract
from the Washington Union. 1t
will be seen, that the people Of Cana
da are getting sick Of ths fugitive
slaves, who have fled to that country
from the South. If seine of the
slave stealers Of the Northern States
we're troubled With these fugitives
like the inhabitants of Canada-if
they had to live close neighbors to
them, it would "soon cure them Of
sucking eggs" They would then
no longer have that stealing propen-
sity, which seems now to be part Of
their nature. What the Pennsylva-
nian, a democratic paper in Philadel.
phia, says, are the views Of the de-
mocracy efthe Free States. They
do not want the negroes free here
among Us. They are as much op.
posed to such q move as the people
Fof the South. They wish them 70
remain in slavery OF sent to Liberia.
Read the following:
! GETTING TIRED OF THEM.
A movement is on foot in Canada
to secure the passage Of an act ~of
Parliament by which fugitive slaves
may be sent back to the United
States. They are not considered
very desirable subjects of Queen
Victoria, and it is therefore proposed
to make ''black republicans Of then
by shipping them back to the "sun.
ny South" -Exchange.
!, If black republicanism (says tbt
PenDsylyanian) succeeds in its de
signsof disunion and turning my.
riads OF negroes loose upon the Dor
der States, particularly Pennsylya
MIA, there will be no comparison be
tween the evils already inflicted up
, on Canada and our own horrible con
dition. 1t may be very we'll for Yer
mont and Massachusetts, where ne
groes are rarely seen, and for the ia
, natics Of those northern regions tina
{ will not be Immediately affected b,
, the result, to preach abolition doc
! trines, but it is impossible that on
own people can be SO blinded to thei
, own interests as to court such a fate
. The devouring locusts of Egypt woul,

J Of suddenly liberated negroes turned
loose upon US. One Bedford stree
is enough for Philadelphia. BY alb
clifton our whole city would be con
verified into negro quarters; whole
acres Of ground would be too small
to contain jsils aud alms-houses large
enough to hold the criminals and
paupers among them; the wages o
laboring white men would be reduc'
ed to mere song; and the avenues
Of labor would be blocked up by ne
groes; the substance Of the whole
country would be devoured by them
The picture is too frightful to con
template.
! We contend that there should be
a law enacted in every southern State
that no negro shall ever be freed IN
less undoubted security is given fol
bis removal beyond the limits Of the
! United States. Every negro in the
United States should either be a
slave or should be sent of. We
would be glad to see the day when
there shall not be free negro in the
land. 1t would be better for both
whites and blacks. These have al.
ways been our views.
A law should also be passed in
every free State, that no free negro
should emigrate thither under any
circumstances whatever. We would
then have no more trouble about
Fugitive Slaves. We would then
have no more blood and riots in re-
taking our property, and the north
would not be troubled with the in.
stitution Of slavery nor the free ne
groes from the slave. Each section
of the Union could attend to their
own business. We hope yet to. see
the free States pass some such law
as suggested. Let the southern
States also act 10 this matter, and
we shall have no more free negroes
to either spoil our slaves while with
NO nor optico them IN leave their
