LATE FROM THE SHAVING FLEET.

BY . recent arrival from the coast of Africa, we
LEARN that there we're seven American vessels in
the Congo river, June 4, trading, of course, but
the names Of which were not reported. English
cruisers had been alongside o. them all found
that they were not to be boarded with impunity,
and prudently hauled of, as several officers had
recently been reprimanded by the Admiralty for
going on board American vessels without permits
sion. lncidently VIC have been informed that n
regular feet Of vessels clear from different ports
OF she United States Mt the same time, and that
among them, are stores and water to
fit out two or three of Them for slavers, and that
when the coast is clear, they all combine to aid
tue selected vessels in receiving stores and slaves
with tho greatoos possible dispatch. BY these
n euos, seven or eight vessels may all be engaged
in the slave trade. without having on board suf-
icient slave materials to convict any one of them.
This system might be termed the mutual aid
dodge We understand thar it works successfully.
1t rarely happens that there is more than one cruis-
er near n noted slave mart, and if she should sue
coed in making n prize, she generally leaves the
place with it, and proceeds to st. Helena or Ser
Ia Leone. Aware VI her absence, the mutual aid
slaVers dispatch as many Of their number as pos.
sible, and generally run clear. We have also been
informed that two or three swift steam ,slavers were
fitting out on the coast, from ports in Cuba, and
that great gains wero expected from them. As
we have not any steam vessels Of the class requir-
ed for such n trade, we suppose they have been
built in England, and are Of iron.
1t these statements are correct, the slave trade,
in the language Of tho markets, may be stated as
active, with an increased demand - Tarel!er.

From the True Royalist.
FUGI1IVES IN CANADA,

Its a matter Of much speculation with many,
how the thousands OF f~ugitives, that year after
year find their way into Canada, manage to sub
sist. They como empty handed, with no wealth
but their bones and sinews, and even these they
dare not fully call their own till they tread the
free soil of Canada. But, unlike every other
class Of men, the fugitive is not poor even in bis
poverty. lie feels himself rich. 1t is wealth to
him more precious than the gold of California to
own himself. Talk not to him Of deprivation and
want; be has been reared 10 the school of adversi-
ty, he is not afraid Of suffering; he has learned
how to endure; he is willing to take liberty just as
he finds it, and thank Heaven for the boon. Tho
first thing that he asks for after he gets on free
soil is work, and be keeps on seeking for it till he
fnds il, and when he finds it he porseveres in it.
The ~fugitives who GROSS over by way of Detroit
into Windsor all seek employment, and become
Industrious subjects. The fugitives in Canada are
said by ONE to be 40 idle, vicious, lazy and thiov.
ish set. That there are people in Canada, both
white and colored, who answer to that description
we will not pretend to gainsay. That the fugitives
in Canada, as a class, answer to tho description
we empha;ically deny. Look at the fugitives scat
tered over the free states, and they will DO found
everywhere to sustain the character Of an indus
trious class Of people. Why should it be other
wise ? They are a class of people who are enured
to labor and are accustomed to its ~fatignes. And
though they hate to labor when under the stimu-
lation of the lash, yet they love it when urged
upon them by the incentive Of cash. However
the oolored race in Canada may be abused, Sian.
dered and viliied by some of the leading news
papers in Great Britain as we'll as tie United
States, yet it is q fact which no penetrating mind
can overlook, that England con bestow her protec-
ton and patronage on no class of people that will
prove more true to her interest and welfare, than
these very same fugitives and their descendants
A half century hence will unfold some of the ben
efcial results that will necessarily flow from the
circumstance of the protection which England now
offers to the fugitive. Canada is destined to be-
come the stronghold Of the colored race in North
America. Not because tho climate is any more
corgcnial to the constitution of the colored race
that it is the white, but from the force of circum'
stances. Canada should be settled by cOored
people as a matter Of policy. We must have a
foothold somewhere, contiguous to the Middle
States, and there IS no place which offers greater
facilities. stronger protection. or a larger share oil
political rights than the Canadas.

WHY DOUGLAS IS RUN.

Senator Chandler Of Michigan, in his speech at
Newburg, Wednesday evening, told the following
story apropos Of tho running Of Douglas for
President by one wing Of the Democratic party.
"A friend Of mine the other day was anxious to
know why they persisted in running Douglas.
Nobody claimed that they would elect him, and
what under heavens said this friend Of mine, do
they run him for Said I, they claim that they
are preparing him for some great race in the fu-
ture for the sweepstakes Of 1864, when they
think be will sweep the country That reminds
me of the story Of an old EngIishman who had a
famous terrier puppy which ho was training. He
had spent q great deal Of time and labor upon
the animal, and finally determined to exhibit his
accom- plishments, and called in bis son John for
that purpose. Now John,' said he, Il am going
to get down on all tours and play bull, and then
you will SEQ what he will do so down the old
man got and began to below like a bull at the
puppy, who forthwith sprang st him, seized him
by che nose and shook it violently while John
stood by ~clapping his hands aud enjoying the
sport. Bot the old man thought the dog was car.
rying the joke too faI, for he COULDN'T shake him
off. lie stopped his believing and cried out
Take him of, John Take the beast Of, or he'll
kill me- Oh never mind. dad, said John, mover
mind. dad it will be the maxim Of that pup

NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION, BUT IN
LINC0LN'S BILL.

At the time of the formation of the Federal Gov
eminent. Shareholders and thoir apologists so far
did homage to the spirit Of Freedom, as to veil
their system Of outrage with language, which,
while it answered for them oil practical purposes,
they thought would not shock the sensibilities of
those who saw the inconsistency of men who had
fought to secure their own freedom inficting slave
ry upon others. Although the determination evinc-
ed by many to hold on to their slaves, and their
pertinacity in insisting that the Federal Constitu.
ton should protect them in the possession of their
human ~chattels, caused that document to be unlike
the Declaration of Independence which acknowl-
edges The right of oil to freedom, yet the instru,
ment was SO carefully and cunningly framed, that
although the word slave or slavery is not to be
found in it, the required protection was given to
the system.
Since that time, instead of Slavery, We have
the peculiar institution ! instead of Slave States
we have Capital States;' instead of the Congress
sional basis resting upon Slaves, our enumeration
simply embraces three ffths off all other persons;
instead Of returning Fugitive Slaves, we send back
persons held to service or labor Indeed. eve,
since Madison declared in the Federal Convention
that the idea that man could be held as propert,
ought not to be admitted into the Constitution
those statesmen who have framed Constitution,
and fashioned laws touching this question bav,
generally avoided the Introduction. not Of tie idea
bot OF language which most clearly and directl,
expresses it. This delicacy was manifested in tn,
framing of the first and last fugitive slave bills
Neither in the law of 1913 signed by Washington
nor in that of 80 signed by Fillmore, is the phras

%stitution. and OF course are no more pro, SLAYER

confess this is not 10 our taste, and WI would much
rather that the fathers, meaning slaves aud slave
ry, had frankly said so in the constitution. And
innsmuch as Washington and the 2ud Congress
intended to catch fugitive-slayes, we should have
been better satisfied had they told in plain english
what they meant to do. And seeing that Fillmore
and tho compromisers Of so intended that thu
people should chase negroes, we should have pre-
ferred to have them say it in so many words.
Mr.. Lincoln in framing his fugitive slave bill
spoke out frankly, and said in plain up and down
english what he meant TO be at--be meant catch,
ing slaves and he said so. There is no sof.ning
of phraseolOgy into persons held to service or Ia.

'%quibblers can hang an argument, but it is plain,

We Ike this 'plainness of speech Plainness
of speech and of behavior were two items in our
Quaker education which we ever expect to retain,
albeit the plainness we practise is not, perhaps,
exactly of the kind contemplated in the Monthly
Meeting queries. Far better to sneak out and telI
what you mean, than to cover il up with words
that befog and mislead. Better to use language
to express, than to conceal ideas. The plainness
OF speech on the part of Lincoln on the OCCASION
referred to, connected with similar plainness

Congressional Fugitive Slave Law, leaves without
the shadow of on excuse FOR their inconsistency
those of bic supporters who claim that the Consti-
tuition is Anti-Slavery in character, and that the
rendition clause does not relate to fugitive slaves.
or, if it can possibly be thus construed, that
Congress has no authority to act in the premises
that portion of the compact being merely q con-
tract between the States.

THE KIDNAPPERS IN JAIL.

The examination Of Vim. Sic wart and Michael
Weaver, charged with Kidnapping the negro James
WaSgoner, and whose release as a free man By a
Kentucky Court after having been sold into slave
ry, we noticed a few days since, has resulted in
the cmmitta of the kidnappers to the Hamilton
county jail, in default Of s.. 900 bail. They will
be tried at the next term of the Hamilton Court Of
Common Pleas, and richly deserve the full penalty
of the law.
The case was an exceedingly aggravated one.
Waggonef was born in Ohio of free parents, and
about a year ago Eas met in Cincinnati by Stewart
and Weaver, and engaged to go to Fulton to do
some sort of work. While proceeding up the
river bank to Fulton, the men stenlers seized
young WaGgoner, forced him into a skif, held a
pistol to his head and conveyed him over the river
to Ne" port. Once there, he was charged with be.
ing a fugitive slave, and thrust into Jail. After
lying in prison a year, be was set free. Do the
kidnappers merit mercy?

The need for a full attendance of the true and

than now. In this, the year of quadrenuial stultif-
cation and compromise, there comes a trumpet call
to every one who knows the Right, and knowing
dares maintain it, to stand firm upon the rock of
principle. Let abolitionists manifest at least as
much devotion to the cause of Humanity, as poll
'ticians do to Party. Is it unreasonable to ask of
thom to spend as much time, and pour forth as
abundahtly of their means to further the cause

TIE SLAVE TRADE IN NEW YORK.

continues to direct the attention of United States
officials to the suspicious movements of certain
parties in u certain loft on a certain street, so that
those officers cannot have the excuse, If negro
stealers equip for their nefarious business and slip
through their fingers, that they wero wholly ignor-
ant oE any unlawful movements until it was too
late to arrest the guilty parties. The Posts cor
respondent charges shat the Uaited States officials

from that port; that officers arc seut on board sus.

they must DO convinced by every possible proof
that the contrary is true; that these vessels are

1t is SAT and humiliating to believe that the
