A MOVEMENT AGAINST NEGROES IN CANADA-At
the court of Assizes Of Essex county, Upper Canada
the grand jury have made prcsentmcnt to the court
based upon representation emanating from the au-
thoritics Of the township of Auderdon in regard to
tine negro population of the country The grand jury
submit the document that was presented to them to
the court and urge that some action be taken in the
matter. The Anderdon authorities say: "We are
aware that ninecnths Of the crimes committed in the
county Of Essex according to the population are so
committed by the colorcd people" And they further
urge that some measures may bc taken by the gov
ernment to protect and property or persons of
capital will be driven from the country" The court,
aluding to this prcsentmcnt remarked that "he was
not surprised at finding prejudice existing against
them (thc negrocs among the respectable portion of
the people, for they were indolcnt shtcss and dis
honest and unworthy of the sympathy that some mis-
taken parties extended to them: they would not work
when opportunity was presented, but preferred SUBJ
sisting by thevng from respectable farmers and beg
ging from those beneyolently inclined" What CON-

We are graticd in being cognzant of the fact that
number Of ladies and gentlemen Of this place and
vicinity, who for many years have literally patrouizcd
Northern periodicals and papers, have determined to
give all Northern publications the goby for tho present

ward subscriptions for such periodicals. aud even this

thought has induced friends we arc pleased to saw
to conntcrnand their orders. Thus the money spent
among doubtful friends Ito say the least of t) will he

The alies have it in their power to do more for
