pressed rs il there were no such sentiment as
Humanity-no instinct like that which thrilled
the heart of Moses when he saw an Egyptian

mistaken as this notion is, it is capable. when

tcrests, to impel to crimes at which History
must shudder.
We hear of Anti-Slavery men who. from per.
sonal and other considerations, think Of oppos-
ing the reelection Of Mr.. Lincoln. We beg
them to consider the whole matter very care
fully. Individual fortunes are ofsmall account
in crisis like this; and thousand faults or
errors cannot oblterate the fact that the great
struggle about to open must array against each
other the champions and the sdversaries ofthc in
alienable Rights Of Man. In that struggle, il be-
hooves every one who believes in Divine Justice
and Human Progress to be found on the side OF
Impartial Freedom.

ing some 60. 900 square miles, and OF remark
able fertility. 1t is expected that this land VIII
be settled from Upper Canada, for much
larger number Of persons are now interested IN
this question than heretofore, owing to the re-
organization of the proprietary Of the Hudson's
Bay Company on q more popular basis.
For the present, no one in British America
appears to think of the possibility OF imme-
diately uniting the possessions on the Pacific
with those OH the Atlantic There is still
large, uninhsbited wilderness between them,
extending over more than a thousand miles,
which it will take long time to span with
scattered habitations Of civilized men. But
even if for the present the Confederation must
|confne itself to the provinces on the Atlantic
side, it would embrace territories more exten-
Sive than those of Germany and Spain taken to-
gether or than the united territories of France,
Italy. Portugal. and Greece, and it would con-
tain ample space for a great empire.
The English press duly appreciate the i'm
portance Of the proposal Of Confederation.
They regard it as the first and an enormous
step toward independence They are preparing
themselves for an application on the part OF the
American colonies for peaceful secession, The
liberal papers find this quite natural The
Spectator thinks that in either House Of Parlia-
ment not five votes will be given against peace
lul secession, and not a voice raised " for CO.
ercing them - the people of British North
America or fighting them, or bribing them or
doing anything else in connection with them,
except withdrawing the large feet or small
army now paid for their defense" That journal
even advises the Ministry to bring forward q
law decreeing that any British colony num-
beriug million of English-speakiDg inhabit-
ants may. by vote Of its Parliament, ratified
by an appeal to the electors ad hoe, or by two
thirds majority, without such appeal, declare
itself free and independent"
That the day is rapidly approaching when all
the large colonies of Great Britain will declare
themselves Independent, no far-seeng statesman
at present Denies But law expressly con.
ferring upon the colonsts tho right Of declaring
themselves independent would relieve the Gov
ornmcnt and the people Of Great Britain OF
great deal of that bitterness which otherwise
would certainly accompany the severance OF the
bond of union between the colonies and England.

/. The unanimous act of the last Continental
Congress, whereby Slavery was excluded from
every foot Of our then Federal Territory, was
unanimously reenactcd by the first Federal Goa
gress, and signed by George Washington. j,
did not extend TO what are now Alabama and
Mississippi (nor to Tennessee) because they
were moi then Federal territory, but pertained
to the States Of Georgia and North Carolina;
and these territories became slayeh0ld'ng be-
cause the States which then owned them, III
their acts Of ccSsion expressly prohibited the
exclusion of Slavery thcrofrom by Congress.
All this is history; why do you seek to dsgui'e

small for It's source. Ii il not strictly accurate
but let it pass.
Ill. The fact that Jefferson held slaves
through life is part Of our case. His terti-
mony TO tho inherent and inevitable wrong and
mischief of slaycholdiGg is the more valuable
because of its source. But Jefferson was not
merely theoretical" Abolitionist. lie Wa,
the original author Of the policy Of prohibiting
Slavery IN the Territories-in all OF them-snd
ysur Southern friends are now drenching the
country in Hood for no other reason under
Heaven than because the North is faithful TO the
policy originated by the Souths own Jefferson.

and she made the War. Aud you virtually
uphold her in so doing

Slavery. The South now makes war upon Vi

exactly as We were taught to do 81 hor OWL

was begun BY the men who inaugurated the
American Revolution and uttered the Declare
ton Of Independence. And Whatever may be
the immediate issue, it will go on till the last
slave is trce--be very sure of that
That an aristocracy which monopoli1es
wealth, education. journalism. social influences,
&C., should keep the ignsrant multitude in its
leading strings, and impel it to war on its own
rights and interests. ia melancholy fact, but
no novelty. Still, many Of the Rebel soldier
do NOT mean to fight for Slavery, but for theiI
homes and families. We hope they may yet be
disabused and turned against their deceiyess.

BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.

If the plan Of forming oil the provinces OF
British North America into one Confederation
should be successful, this new commonwealth
would infilllbly be in q short time the second
power of the American Contnent-second only
~ the United States. In point of population
il is even now only inferior to Mexico and Bra
all, both of which countries it would be sure
TO exceed within few years.
In point Of territory, the Confederation OF
British North America would be about equal to
the present extent of the United States. The
Toronto Leader even claims for il a little supe-
riority, estimating the territory Of British
NcRh America at 2,933,O7S English square
miles, and maintaining that the territory OF the
United States, the oxtent Of which it says Is
generally overrated by their inhabitants, is
found on a critical examination not to exceed
2. 364. 400. We deem it unnecessary to enter
with our Toronto contemporary into discussion
Of this geographical controversy. We take 1t
~ conceded on all sides that the United States,
if they retain their present territory, and British
North America, if this proposed union can be
effected, will both rank among the most extern
siye countries Of tho world; but that, in point
Of population, our northern neighbor must, from
climatic reasons, remain forever considerably
behind the United States.
The largest portions of British North Amer
lea are the HudsOn's Bay Territory, which The
Toronto Lead.r sets down ut 100000 square

the Hudson's Bay Territory and British Column
ba, have been hitherto only of commercial, not
of political Importance. Trustworthy statements
as to their population are entirely wanting.
But both are beginning to play their part in the
history of the American Continent. British
Columbia has especially attracted tho attention
of the world by its newly -discovered gold
fields. II has received its own Governor
