The crafty and unsc1upulous s1ave:lold- |
CTS have imbued into the minds Of many
Northern people, an immense Ee,--one |
that terrifes and chills the imagination,
and converts men who abstraclly hate
elayery. in,o iailors and patrolmeu for
s,aye.bolders This lie consists in the as
scr4ion. that If the slaves were cmancipat-
cd. they would stampede to the North by
millions, It has 80 necessarily been re-
itera,cd by the shareholders, and echoed
by their tools in the Free States, that it is
very difficult to disabuse the public mind.
However much people abhor the system Of
slavery, they still more dread the conse-
euences to themselves, Of an avalanche Of
freed Slaves among them. Laboring men
i1nagine themselves elbowed out Of employ
ment. Servant girls are told that wanches
Will exclude them from the kitchen and
chamber. Business men apprchend that the
5ails and poor-houses would be filled with
co1ored migrants, and the streets swarm
With I1ackbeepars,
There nrobably never was q greater false
hood ;nyented.and imposed upon mankind
than this huuabue Of an exodus Northward,
of the coIorcd population Of the South, in
the event Of e,nancipatiou. But it is as diff
c,,1t tn erasc this shareholders deception
from people's minds as to eradicate Canada
+h;z.4es frnm the soil. It is. strange that
the deluaion has taken such firm ho1d on
nonu3ar belief when it is notorious that Of
al, races the negro is the least nomndic,
md the mcst attached to the place Of lis
,,inu The Indian and the white are
fond Of changing their locations.
The, are restless and disposed to roam,
Buts The negro is the ycry opposite. He
has No taste for wandering from place to
,l,ce He rarelv changes his habitatiou.
