nen A small Fenian raid has again
been made into Canada. According to
a telegram from Montreal, a skirmish
occurred on Friday evening, near Pigeon
Hill, with party of Fcnians, who are
said to have been on reconnaissance.
A report, evidently exaggerated, was
current that large detachment of the
Fenian army was in the adjoining woods.
The skirmish does not appear to have
lasted long. The Fcnians or those who
were taken for Fcnians, retr1ated after
some twenty shots were exchanged, and
nobody appears TO have been hurt.

THE RIGHT WAY.

Some one, has sent us an old copy of
an intensely abolition paper published
at Boston, called the Right Way" 1t
is devoted to negro suffrage, equaliza-
ton Of the races in this country, and
continued mischief between North and
South. 1t should be called "thc Wrong
Way" Its motto is "Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as myself" A very good
motto by the bye, but one which is little
regarded by its conductor, who evident
" loves the black race much moro than
he docs his white ncighbor. We en-
dcavor to keep that commandment, and
to DO even handed justice to all races.
We believe. however, that We can best
show our regard for the colored race by
cndcavoring to instil into their minds
the great truth that if they wish to as
pire to the full enjoyment Of the highest
ciiil rights, including the right Of suf-
fragc, holding Office &c. il can only be
obtained in a separate country, where
all are of the same race and color
There We would glory in seeing them
successfully rival the other races Of man
kind. If we arc bound to admit the ne
gro in this country to equal privileges
in sharing common government, IN
order TO fulfil the above commandment,
we can have no right to stop there but
must admit them as equals in alldcgrces
Of social life must favor marriages be-
tween Whites aud Blacks, misecgcna-
tion in full, aud destroy the purity OF
both races as God hath made them, by
converting our country into nation OF
mongrcls. This is the monsttous con
clusion to which the teachings Of these
resilient fanatics would lead our conn'
trymen They have hoapcd uP horrors
enough already in our land, aud not sat.
isfcd with that, they arc going on to
the climax of their unnatural schemes.
They seem unable to appreciate the fact
that God has created distinct races OF
mcn for wise purposes. md that he has
implanted 10 these races an instinct
which will inf,Ilibly preserve their pa.
riiy, aud conduct them 10 the prcdcs.
