The Canadians and The Free Negro,

Public opinion in England and her
colonial possessions has undergone
such radical change within a few
mouths in regard to the slavery ques-
ton, and the negro race in general,
that the probabilities are-says the
Richmond Enquinr-that the sun
derground railroad" will soon Ct IL,

bors. The Indiana State Sentinel o.
. late date says:
The Canadian government are de,
termined to get rid Of thsir Zee ne,
gro population. A proposition wa1
made sometime since to isolate then
in the northern portion Of Canada
but this project failed. Now peti
tons are being forwarded to the HON,
government to send the entire negr,
population in Canada to some OF th,
English tropical islands, From thi
it viii appear that the Canadians ar,
rapidly getting over their sickly sym
pathy for the negro, and are detenn

Aneedsle Of Gen. Harney..

In personal appearance, Gen Har-
ney is impressive. lie is considera-
bly, over six feet till, and is large
boned and muscular. His hair was
red. but is now ihickly mixed With

to be bald on the crown Of his head.
His moustaches and beard are nearly
white, and are also thick and clipped
short. His eyes are blue and dell;
for he uses spectaeles. In younger

Of physical vigor and strength, but
he now looks older than he really il,

Some of the know no, hing papers
assert that there was ''great deal
Of illegal voting" at the late election.
We don't believe tive never be-
lieved such stories. We look on
them as the series Of the wounded. "
We consider them merely the verbal
expletives with which the vanquished
at the ballot-box attempt to get rid
Of their pent-up modification. 1t
is possible that a few fraudulent votes
may, now and then, find their way to
the polls at general election; but
that any effective number are ever
introduced = that any number CAL
culated to turn the scale ia poll oil
an hundred thousand independent
suffrages-is preposterous assump-
ton.
We confess that VIC have too good
an opinion of our countrymen, that
We love our institutions too much,
that we have too much faith in The
workings OF the machinery of popu-
lor government as exhibited in this
country, to credit any such wholesale
charge Of rank corruption; and We
can pity the mind that can resort to
il. 1t must be one full of "chimeras
dire" 10 its political imaginings. Ii
must be one hideously afflicted with
the nightmare ot intrigue. 1t must
be one drawing its knowledge from
the party With which 1t is most ia
miliar, and hence its accusations are
anything but complimentary to the
integrity of its friends. If it simply
indulge in these charges by way Of
selfconsolation in defeat, it is equally
pitiable for the soreness it displays,
and the want of tact in not conceal
Jog instead Of betraying the iniqui-
ties it would have resorted to to avert
