cities, Boston taking the lead, looking toward
their immigration to Africa. The moyemen
has reached the fugitive slave colony Of Cana
da, and the northern papers state that these fu
gitiyes have determined 10 move to Africa
They have already, il appears sent over com
mittee, and a location has been agreed upon
It's a most suggestive event, this determine
ton Of the free negroes in the north and the fu
gitye slaves Of Canada to quit their Peculia
friends and seek permanent abode in tht
land of their forefathers. The circumstance
derive special interest from the fact that th,
abolitionisls have denounced every thing tia
had the rcmoest appearance Of colonisaton Il
the most ferocious manner. Any aluson to /
has thrown them almost into Mysteries, anC
never failed to bring out all their resources 0
biIlingsgatc This had the natural effect upor
the minds Of the negroes, and to mention The
subject to them was to rouse into activity al
their brutal instincts. 4 year or two ago, a
"colored brother in convention Of the ''coi-
ored population" Of Philadelphia, offered re-
solution to inquire into the subject Of emigra-
lion TO Africa, in consequence ofthe prejudice
existing against them on the part oftherJ friends,
the "white folks" who had bestowed upon
them SO many acords Of theiy distinguished
consideration, and tie result was one surpass-
ingly rich. The resolution was taken hold OF
with pair Of tongs and literally burnt amid
characteristic yeIls gesticuIadons, grimaces and
other appropriate dusky ceremonies! Whether
the unlucky mover escaped with a whole head.
We do not recolect lie probably showed a
good deal of the whites of his eyes!
Now these same Philadelphia darkies who
are "free to suffer" in the city of "Brothcrly
Love" are uniting with those Of "Modem
Athens" for the purpose Of clearing out for
Africa There is little doubt that the Hegira
will be general among them. At least 50 we
read Tie signs Of the times. Abolitionism has
reached point which makes it tangible and
practical. 1t has preached equality and fra
ternity, and Denounced all distinctions on ac-
count Of "color" as wrong, and the result Of
''cruel prejudice" to such an extent, that one
Of two things appears to be ineyitable either the
doctrines must be carried out practically by the
white people, resulting in intermarriages Of the
whites and blacks, and their coming together
socially upon terms Of perfect equality, Or the
doctrines themselves must be practically repu-
dated. But to repudiate them practically in
wolves their theoretical Reputation If white
abolitionists refuse to allow their daughters to
marry full blooded, burly negroes, they must
have a reason for it. They must defend them
selves from assault. Hence, there is a commo-
ton in the camp. In some cases the daughters
have taken for granted that their fathers were
honest and sincere in their abolition doctrines,
and have carried them out to their legitimate
consequences They have practced what the
parents merely preached with no very definite
ideas about the matter A case of this sort
lately occurred in Michigan which went the
rounds Of the press. The daughter Of a rich
abolitionist took huge black negro for hus-
band. A great commotion then and there took
place. The more respectable white abolition
lists avow that this is giving the thing direc-
lion which is too practical by hall, which they
never contemplated and they'll be hanged if
they submit to anything of tie sort. It's ask
ing too much Of them for phiIantropic purposes!
And prejudice against color" comes back
with greater force than ever This calls out
Eyed and those Of his school, and they pitch ia
to their impractical friends with zest and
JUNCTION truly refreshing. The latter, as we said
before, are compelled in selE-defence to fire
back; and inasmuch as they out number the
practicals hundred or a thousand to one, the
climate, cool as it is, becomes decidedly too
warm for the "colored brethren" The latter
will therefore strike their tents, shake Tie dust
from their delicate feetin the face of their friends
and put out for Ethiopia Cufy has evidently
his back up, and the muss, albeit slightly odor-
Gus, will be interesting
Good will come out Of all this

The wings have able leaders and national

more formidable than the odious black 'repub-
