Royalty Coming.

1t has already been herslded with much
eclat that he who is to sway the sceptre
over the British nation is soon to visit
America is, the English part of it;
and it is limited indeed, urged-that he
may also come over to the States. All this
may at first thought seem strange; never
theless we rejoice at it. We hold that
royalty should, in common with the rest Of
mankind, see the world before it begins to
rule the best part of the world, as will be
the case in this instance some day. But
there has been, hitherto, a difficulty in the
way of royal visitors extending their trav-
els far abroad, especially as far asthe wilds
of America. Where would they go2-
where find royal lodgement2 What
class of persons would there be there to
receive and entertain them? What rank
there, or whose guests would they be2
These obstacles have all been removed
An order of nobility has been created in
her British Majesty'S dominions in Ameri-
ca-an order not only commensurate with
the demands of the coming prince, but
which will serve hereafter to greatly bind
and blend harmonious!y the British domin-
ions in America to the mother country, and
make them among the most important, in
teresting, and loyal appendages within the
whole circuit of her rule.
In these dominions the black man has
an important stake, and it is fitting that
he should see and be seen by the future
sovereign in the best light. 1t is not for
us, perhaps, down here in the States, to
give advice, nor shall we venture upon it;
but it would certainly be very gratifying
to us if the thought should occur to every
colored man in Canada to set his house
yea, and his farm. and his workshop, too
in the best of order. Let everything
around indicate industry, thrift, intelli-
gence, and worth. Let everything equal,
and if possible surpass, the surrounding ad-
vantages or difficulties. Who knows but
the prince may pass by. He is on a tour
of observation, and it may be that, not
merely feasting with the nobility, he may
desire to see life among the honest lowly
Should he take it in his head to do SO, let
him find that the black men of Canada not
only find refuge there-an asylum from
the talons of the American vulture-but
are an advantage and an abiding interest
to the country, in which none more loyal
can be found
If there is any one thing beyond all
others in which our brethren in Canada
should take unbounded delight, it is in be-
coming in feeling and action thorough
British Subjects; and we fancy one thing
should inspire them to equal those around
them in all that goes to make up manhood.
1t is the fact that they have all the rights
and privileges in common with the rest of
their fellow men guaranteed to them. Let
them look back to the country from whence
they came, and to the precise spot and the
vile treatment they there received, and
contrast this with their present state; and
let this, if nothing else will, inspire them
to the onward march in the front ranks
among their surrounding fellows.
Colored men of Canada, your prince
is coming Again we say, put your house
in order! Be among the most loyal of his
subjects. He may some day have need of
you. Colored men of Canada, your we'll
chosen home bids fair to become the most
interesting part of the American continent.
See well to it that you do your part in
making it SO.
