TIE RACK TRACK

a curious movement of the underground
emigration is taking place. Canada, which
has baen the city of refuge for RUNAWAY ne
grses, is beginning to spew them out. The
ithrttlessness and wretehed E'orals Of the
blacks have proved too raUcht for Cgpatlian
philanthropy. The Cleveland f0hio) I lain
Ilsealer' Gays ttat tie steamer Telegraph
brings back from Canada, on every trip,
families of negroes WHO have formerly fed
to tie Provinces fronl the States They de-
smsbs',the life and condition of the blacks in
Canada as miserable in the extreme. They
are principally from Canada West. Ohio
and Michigan are likely to have large &C.
roesa.ens. to their negro population from that
source. The Canadians have shown a dis
position in their Parliament ard il every
day transactions to discourage the negro pop
ulation comins to or remaining in the Prov
inces.
This is the beginning of a movement
which will be followed by important results.
The runaway negro population will be thrown
back upon the free States, and the same
causes which induce Canada 70 get rid Of
them, will operate in Ohio, Mieligan, and
other non-slayeholding communities. The
Iproprietors of the underground railroad will
soon discover that it won't pay, and that will
put an end to their philanthropy. Rich
