We have published a statement from the
London Tines, reporting the proceedings OF
meeting held in Grosvener street chapel, on the
18th Of December at which person named
Troy, colored gentleman, stated that he had
been stationed at Windsor, in Upper Canada,
as Missionary, and that his principal object
in visiting England was to raise funds to com.
plete commodious chapel and school room in
q, that town. which hao already been commenced.
Now, is it fair that the people Of England
should be perpetually bored by a set Of Of rqqa-
bonds for charity when it is really not required?
The colored people have a good school here.
furnished at the expense of the corporation;
they have also church. To the school they
will not send their children, which is shown by
the fact that the teacher appointed received
his salary last year for doing nothing; and the
determination not to do so is openly expressed
by the most intelligent Of the colored people in
Windsor. Why, then send to England for
money to build another school?
- This year a colored man has been appointed,
and several children attend the school, but they
form a~small portion OF the whole. Suppose,
then, that they gull the English people out Of
the money and build their school, will they Sc
lect colored or white man as teacher? No
objection exists to furnish colored teacher to
the school, if any one will apply to the Board
who possesses the necessary qualifications; but
instead Of adopting this mode of procedure, the
aid of England is invoked, and thereby slur
cast upon the entire white population Of this
town, for at distance it viii appear that edu
cation has been denied to the colored race. 1t
is not the lack Of means to gain an education
that is the real cause of complaint; it is that
amalgamation is not allowed in the school be-
tween white and colored; but as the white in
habitants will not permit this, the colored peo
pie must either adopt the separate school, or be
content to remain without education; and all
the money which may be collected in England
will be unavailing in forcing open the doors OF
the white school for the admission of colored
children. We say ''all the money that may be
collected in England;" no doubt exists that a
great amount will be gathered; but if former
.precedents are guides, it is improbable that one
penny vii ever reach Windsor. 1t is we'll un-
derstood that three fourths of the money COL
lected for fugitive slaves is never accounted for,
and also, that nearly all the provisions and
clothing sent from the States two or three years
after the passing of the fugitive law, were appro-
priated to the use of the agents who were ap-
pointed to dispense them, while the fugtives
remained with unappeased hunger and in tat
ters.
Mr., Israel Lewis appropriated $4,000 to
himself which was collected in Canada and the
States, to forward land speculation of 10000
acres The project therefore failed, as, after
subscriptions only enable the company to pur-
chase 500 acres.
The celebrated Samuel Ringgold Ward after
cheating all the subscribers to his newspaper
out Of the adyaroe payment OF one year, left
the States and settled in Canada, and being a
most eloquent storm heaven preacher, he was
entrusted with mission to England to collect
funds for the fugitives. Such is the infatuation
Of the colored race in these matters, knowing
that Ward was thisfthey entrusted him with
the collection Of large amount Of money-and
that he got large amounts is we'll known--but
he did not come back to tell how much
