Fugitive negro slaves from the United
States are becoming very unpopular in
Canada The Torouto Colonist, in Il
report Of the speech of Colonel Prince,
d prominent member of Parliamept, u
iay or two before Parliament adjourned
reported him as follows:
He thea took occasion to speak of
ehe negro fug tives as being most immor-
al and unprincipIed persons, aud sua
gested tbaf they should be separated
from the white population. which they
CO. taIniratcd by their vices The peo
pie of this cpun,r moved by a Christian
sympathy for their sufferiugs, treated
Them with Kindness, but they repaid thar
kindness with iDgratitude they were
chiefly remarkable for their filthy aud
aIshonest features, and should be sent to
live by them selves on one of the Mani
tlulin Islands, or somewhere else, where
the whites would not suffer from contact
with them"
The agents Of the Underground Rail
road will have to select some other place
than Canada for the reception of fugi-
tives, for the people of that country are
getting sick of them.-AIiSs. Paper.
EST They can't GO the practical work

They have had a fair trial CT it and un.
less they wish to be ovorrun with negro

is more than likely that it win be done.

Waiting in Nebraska.

A letter from Nebraska City states
that there are very large number OF
Free State men from the Northern
States, who are stopping at various
points along the border, in that
Territory, waiting the opening of
spring, when they design to come to
Kansas, and locate on claims. We
have also Information from western
Iowa, stating that large numbers have
located temporarily there with the
same view. Many who left Kansas
with their families during the distur-
Dances last summer, are waiting to
return and locate permanently among
US. We hope all will be here at an
early day-the earlier the better, not
beyond the middle of March if it can
be avoided.

dice. Principles and justice are eter-
nal, and if tampered with, sooner or
later the sure and indignant verdict of
popular condemnation against those
who are untrue to their Ieadings, will
be rendered. Let US not be false to our
country. our duty and Our constituents.
The triumph of truth and principle, not
OF paftizan and selfish objects, should be
our steady purpose-the general vel
fare, and not the interests of the few,
our sole aim. Let the past, which few
men can review with satisfaction, be
forgotten. Let US not deal in crimina-
tlons and reeriminations; but as far as
possible, let us make restitution and
offer regrets for past excesses. The
dead, whom the madness of partizan
fury has consigned to premature
graves, cannot be recalled to life; the
insults, the outrages, the robberies and
the murders, ''enough to stir fever in
the blood of age, >" in this world of i'm
perfection and guilt, can never be fully
atoned for or justly punished. The
innocent blood, however, shall not cry
in vain for redress, as we are promised
by the Great Executive of the universe,
whose power is almighty and whose
knowledge is perfect, that He will
repay"
"To fight in just cause and for cur
country's glory, is the best Office of
the best of men, Let '.justice be the

and your sole purpose the general vel
fare and the substantial interests of the
whole people. live fix our steady gaze
upon the Constitution and the Organic
Act, as ''the cloud by day and the pill
lar of fire by night" our footsteps will
never wander into any unknown or for
hidden paths. Then viii this Legisla-
tive Assembly be as a beacon light,
placed high in the pages of our history,
shedding Its luminous and benign in
tiuence to the most remote generations;
its members will be remembered with
veneration and respect as among the
early fathers of the magnificent COM
monwealth, which, in the not distant
future, will oyershadow with its protec-
ton population of frcemen unsurpassed
by any State in this beloved Union, for
intelligence, wealth, religion and all the
elements which make and insure the
true greatness of a nation; the present
citizens of Kansas viii rejoice in the
benefits conferred; the mourning and
GLOON which too long, like pail, have
covered the people, will be dispersed by
the sunshine of JOY with which they
will hail the advent of peace founded
upon justice; we will enter upon ca
reer of unprecedented prosperity; good
feeling and confidence will prevail; the
just rule OF action which you are about
to establish will be recognized: the en-
tire country, now watching your delib-
erations with momentous interest, will
award you their enthusiastic applause;
and above and over all, you will have
the sanction of your own consciences,
enjoy self-respect, and will meet with
Divine appreciation, without which, all
human praise is worthless and unavail-
