But the Cauadaps ara neither behind the times

receive them an0 restore 10 them atonce, without
restriction, The dignity OF manhood About oUO OF
the culored race iphablt st. Catharine's, most OF

toned with the blessings Of the peculiar instltu-
tlcD. About thirty or forty marriages have been
concluded here between white women-Englsh or

The colored population iDhabit almost exclu-
siyey specisl part of the clty; not however on
account of any municipal regulation, but by their
owp choice. | bsve visited several of their haoi'a-
tions-the poor loe house, or the more prosperous
cottsse-al of them kept rather cleany thau other

Z he colored population in Canada are on the ioos
ing Of perfect equality with the whites 10 the IN
JOY ment of civil and political liberty and rights.

behaved, more orderly and temperate than their

give the lie to peuny-s liners, and to the petty
country lawyers inflated into politicians and would
be statesmen, aud L. S. Senators Such one from
Maryland, whose impudence surPasses even his
colossal iguorspce, recently brought forth Resou-
tiops in some Convection Of blindiulded ignoram-
uses-resolutions offensive not only to human feel
ipss but still more so TO reason, science, history,
Jurisprudence, and philosophy.
This social condition Of the colored race IN
Canada is the result of the influence OF English
IDEAS and phlsnihropby. In politics decided,
Apelopbobe, i gratefully acknowledge that In
the woIk of thorough emancipation the Engiish
ps!ion occupies ibe oltest and purest standing In
the records of humanity. Under such English I'm
pulse, tie Canadians-nOt yet an individuality IN
history and among the brotherhood of nations-the
Canadians nevertheless, fulfill nobly sacred mis-
sion. Slavery, as well many other social crimes
alterations aud ortortions, requires the silent but
unipterrupted labors of myriads of good men
10 rase powerful dyke by which the torrent OF
human affairs shall be forced to take new and
normal course. "'
