70 His ROYAL HIGHNEss THE Prince or WALES
The colored subjects of the town Of Windsor
and Sandwich and vicinity feel it a duty shat We
feel proud to acknowledge we owe to Her Mos
Gracious Majesty, Your Royal Highqess, mother
Queen Victoria, for the Interest manifested in the
welfare of Her Majesty's subjects to favor thi,
part of Her Moesty's Domnions with the presence
of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
And while we confess we are not prepared tc
make the display that many Of Her Mujestys sub
jects are, in tho public reception Of His Royal
lIighDess, in this frontier portion Of Her Maiesty's
realm, yet we feel that we have souls that swell
with rapture on tho OCCASION Of His Royal High
ness visiting the Province, and hearts that glow
with veneration to the All wise Dispenser of al
good, for the safe arrival of His Royal IIighnes
in the midst of this portion of Her Majesty's sub
ljects, that will feel the silken bonds of nationa
relations more strongly cemented to our mother
country.
1t is to the wisdom and faithfulness Of Her Mos
Gracious Majesty's reign, that we are favored to
join with the thousands Of cheerful hearts and
voices to welcome His Royal Highncss, the Son oi
our Most Gracious Sovereign, Queen Victoria, to
this Province. We are not furgetCul Of the harpi.
ness that has been conferred on the thousands of
our race in Her Majostys possessions in the West
Indies, by the wisdom and righteousness Of pure
love for humanity. We are not ignorant of the
efforts made, and the money expended by Her
Mnjesty's Government with Spain to put down the
foreign slave trade on Her MajesIy's 1.-THE Queen
Of Spain's) Islands. We have not forgotten the
interest manifested by Uer Mejesty's Government
in the elevation Of our race in the acknowledge
ment of the independence Of Hayti, and of the
infant Republic Of Liberia; and lastly we have to
attribute it to Her Gracious Majesty's protection
that we enjoy peaceable possession Of oil that
makes life worth living for-our wives, our chill
dret, and our bodies. 1t is, therefore, with mex
pressible delight that hail the joyful occasion
to present to His Royal Highn0ss our feelings Of
loyalty to Her Most Gracious Majesty, by thi,
humble expression to our future Sovereign, thC
Prince of Wales.
We have in our midst those who in the time o
Invasion of her MajoSty's Provinces from foes with
in and without stood firm in the defence of th
crown, and while we earnestly pray the wise dis
poser of ell human events, that in His Divine
Providence there never shall be period when the
cause Of Her Majesty's country's honor, nor de
! fence, shall demand our Most Gracious Sovereign
10 call forth Her subjects TO decide upon the field
Of battle the strength Of arms Of her Majesty
subjects but should the period come, it will bt
ours to prove how sacred we prize the Liberty VIC
now enjoy under Her Gracious Majesty's reign
Magned by our oppressors, and strangers among
tha ;th ubo bou baap IaI fO
dwell, is why that men of more fortunate circum-
stances Feel some opposition to our prosperity, in
some cases but when an oppressed race have
been held all their days IL a state of debasing ig-
norance. deprived under penelties Of most severe
punishment for tying to learn to read even the
Holy scripture, it must be admitted as some plea
for much that otherwise would be reprehensible.
But with all that circumstances have done to
destroy our love Of liberty, and all that oppression
could do to destroy our right to life, liberty and
the pursuit. Of happiness, and the begt days oil
many of our lives spent in unpaid for toll, cast
upon our own resources to make n commencement
TO prepare TO live at the period that others are
retiring from all the active duties Of life; yet
amidst oil of these discouragiug aspects we are 60
ing forward iG securing by purchase both in town:
and country, homes that will enable us to reclin'
our weary heads in old age and afiicion on th'
bosoms Of our offspring that would were it no
for the protection guaranteed 6y Her Majesty
Government to u.s. be torn away and sold in dis
tant regions by our oppressors. We feel q grea
desire that Her Majesty's useful and happy lif
may long be preserved, and that we may be bles
sed with the wisdom Of her prolonged rule in He
Gracious Majesty's vast, dominions and that
safe and prosperous voyage and happy arriva
of His Royal 1Ighness, the Prince o! Wales, tt
the kind embrace of Her MajestS's, the Queens
