Now, we know, as does Mr. St. Clair that no considerable body of colored men nor whites in Canada think the Refugee's Home necessary at all; but very many-- the majority--consider it detrimental to the 'interests of the very class it is said to bene- fit. Thirty-nine thousand seven hundred: at least, of the forty thousand colored peo- ple of .the Province, have nothing to do with it, are not elevated or improved by it --but are steadily, though slowly, improving themselves, and with far better results to themselves, than they can be improved by it, It sounds admirally to those who are ambitious to get a name and fame for li- berality to the "poor negro.' This. talk about the Refugee Home--it is all very fine for the men who beg for the fugitives-- who live by the trade, or who will descend to this species of bolstering, that they may have the co-operation of others in their plans, or who determine to try to make an obnoxious scheme popular; but fugitives of character--the fugitives, and Canadians generally, will not touch it; neither have they confidence in the men who show, as do the " owners" and managers of the Re- fugee Home, their superior qualifications for an " overseership." Mr. St. Clair says their elevation is to be brought about by a de- pendence upon the gospel and its ministers. gospel ?--the American gospel? The rapid strides made by slavery in his clearly that another species of gospel must be used. The trouble is, they have had Just too much of the sort of gospel that pro- slavery men and pretended anti-slavery men, supporters of anything so clearly against the interest of Canadians as the Re- fugee's Home or similar schemes can have 'to give them.

If the fugitives are as brutified as these men make believe to make the plan meet with favor, they are not fit for freedom, as slave holders say of them. But we do not believe a word of it.

They "still think it best to remain " in the States, and as they think so, think they have a right to go where they please--do go, and the above. is more frequently the end of their journey, than most persons suppose. The almighty dollar is nearly driving men mad,--coloured men as well as others, in Yankeedom; they will go into the lion's den for it. They go before the public with long, speeches, long faces, long stories for it. They go to New Or- leans, and run the risk of seizure without any means of release for it, and once nabbed, we suppose everybody should be sorry about. it; at least they should say they are, whether they areor not, and so swell the " mournful sound," to please the money catchers. We can only force a ery for James Wright when we learn that he is insane: if sane, he had no business there, though he clearly had the natural right to go, if any one had. On second thought, it may be that he is not to blame after all, for running headlong into slavery,--he is only carrying out the jesson read to every free coloured man in the United, States, by pro-slavery whites, and coloured leaders,--he could doubtless see no difference between the position of coloured men in New Orleans and Canada, as they cannot see any, and so chose the former. * AMERICA AND OTHER Porms, BY James M.

LPIA AAD To the Provincial Freeman: DDD Mr. Freeman,--lI observed in your last issue a circular over the signature " B.," as a kind of feeler I suppose for the coloured people to emigrate from this Province to the British West Indies. Upon which I was much pleased with your remarks. If any people had a cause to exclaim, " Save me from my friends," it is, the colored people of this continent that have. A treacherous friend is worse than an open enemy. Are 'the colored people to be machines for ever in the hands of a few fortune seekers, to be moved about as it may best suit their avarice. To the name of all that is just, are the colored people to have no resting place on this con- tinent. There are thousands who are taking re- fuge from American oppression in the British American Provinces on this conti- nent, especially in Canada, the only country on this continent in which they can enjoy true freedom. And " B."? comes forth with |a proposition to decoy them to the West Indies. Is " B." identified with the colored people, if he is, he is a traitor, if he is not, I think he takes unwarrantable hberty with the privilege of the colored people to settle in Canada, and get themselves permanent What advantages has "B." to offer to those whom he would decoy to the homes. West Indies, above those they can have in Canada ?--if he has any, let us have them, so that those who are interested may ex- amine them; also, that an impartial public may see what they are. This West India scheme is twin to the African Colonization scheme, which was conceived in iniquity, and is being carried out in cruelty. What was the object of the latter, but to drain off the free colored from this continent, so as to prevent them from beng any assistance to their wretched brethrea in bondage, and so keep them in a contemptible minority for all time to come, that their oppressors might wield the iron rod of despotism over them more securely. Now, what would be the effect of " B.'s" scheme, if carried out to his wish, but to drain the colored people from Canada to the West Incies, thus preventing the colored people, who have taken refuge in Canada, from getting permanent homes, and being prosperous and useful members of society among their white fellow subjects ; thus evincing to friend and foe that the colored and white races can live together on Finally, Mr. Freeman, if you will permit, I intend this to be only the beginning of the most determined opposition to any and every scheme for an exodus of the cdored people from Canada on any grounds or reasons, that can be given by " B." or those with whom he acts. equal terms and prosper. Yours, obediently, A DESCENDANT OF THE AFRICAN RACE. To the Provincial Freeman: Mr. Freeman :--I send you an imperfect sketch of our first meeting to organize a " Canadian Emigration Society." You will percieve that this, like all efforts that have for their object practical operation, meets with opposition ; but Iam pleased to say, however, whatever degree of opposition the opponents of action, (for such I must call them) can muster, will be ofnoavail. The masses are thoroughly awake on the subject, and convinced as to the necessity of removal somewhere, and where can they go where there are so many inducements held out to them as there isin Canada ? Tam told that nine families went in one company from New York city last week, to be followed soon by a number of true friends. It is no longer necessary to urge and con- vince persons on the subject of " emigration" --JI hazard the assertion, that seven-tenths of the people are favourable to it, although there are those that oppose it, and would not for the world have any "excitement to un- settle the people's minds." 'They would not, if they could help it, let the coloured people leave here--not even to go to heaven !-- Besides these, there are those who are pretty comfortably situated with schools and churches, or as Missionaries, who are far bigger men amongst us here, than they would be in Canada. know, are objects of sympathy--in fact, most of us,--and it requires all of the intelligence that can be mustered, to speak for us; to de- fend our rights, and to discuss whether the laws, " institutions," and "constitutions " that Here many of us you crush us, are "pro-slavery" or "anti-slavery." This delusion, however, that we must stay beneath the stars, and bear the stripes, either in New York or California (with no objec- tion to Canada when annexed, and subject to the Fugitive Slave Law), for the benefit of the slave is fast losing ground. _ You have judiciously alluded to the fact. in your last issue, that our efforts heretofore, have been devoted to warding off difficulties, and not in untramelled efforts at direct pro- gress.

A great revolution has taken place in pub- lic sentiment, among both the white and colored people, on various important subjects, affecting alike the general interest. Noth- ing has contributed more to produce that re- sult than the universal disposition of our peo- ple to leave the States for Canada,--the place of their own choosing. It is a practi- cal response to Mr. Greely, who says, that we must " do something, anything." T hope to add some half dozen, to your numbers before long. S. GENERAL NEWS.

S. Brooklyn, L. I., June 28th, 1854. For the Provincial Freeman. Pursuant to public notice, a meeting of colored citizens of Brooklyn, was held in Granada Hall, on the 80th instant, for the purpose of organizing a "Canadian Emi- gration Society." On motion, Francis Champion was appointed Chairman, and J, N. Still, Secretary. At which, Dr. T. J. White remonstrated in the most severe terms against the appointment of officers for the meeting, or attempting to organize any such " Society," saying that 7 was not called for, and that this was not a meeting of the citizens of Brooklyn, &., &. With difficulty the Doctor was prevailed on 'to come to order. After which, J. N. Still stated the object and design of the callers of the meeting; being to procure informa- tion in relation to Canada, the. state, condi- tion of the country, the price of lands, the most suitable routes of travel, d&c., &c., and that this necessity grew out of the fact, that large numbers of our people from this vicinity, were contemplating on going to Canada ; others going to see the country, and that he was daily applied to for information, neces~ sary for them to know, but which he was not some emigrating to settle, and in possession of, and consequently not pre- pared to give. He, with others, had con- cluded, therefore, to put "ourselves" into an organized form, to communicate officially with persons of confidence for reliable in- formation, and besides this, to recommend to such persons wanting such information, the papers devoted to the investigation and there being two such, namely : the Provincial Freeman, by Samuel R. Ward, and the Voice of the Fugitive, by Henry Bibb. Mr. Still said that it was not his present intention to discuss the question of emigra- tion, but to insist upon the consistency and propriety of the course they were persuing in this matter, they did not wish to influ- ence nor control public sentiments in this matter, or to invite any angry discussions, irom that reason, they invited those only who were favorable to the movement; those intending to emigrate, and who desired to act intelligently. and advisedly in the mat- ter ; he thought, however, the signs of the times admonished some decisive action on the part of the colored people, and was most urgently called for. The whites of the West, the owners and possessers of the soil, and invested with, and protected in the enjoyment of every right recognized by dissemination of such ; the constitution, were "emigrating" to the newly admitted Territory of ' Kansas and Nebraska," in order to plant and build up free institutions from the grasp of slavery. Why should not the colored people do the same, in territory which may yet some day become a part of this confederacy, After some considerable discussion by several gentlemen, it was concluded. not to proceed with the organization this evening, owing to the absence of several of the friends of the movement, from the unfavor- ableness of the weather, Mr. W.

Mr. Johnson was invited, and consented to lec-- ture on the subject of "Canada," on the following Monday evening. On motion, the meeting adjourned. Francois CHAMPION, Chairman. J. N.

The Russians fled to the Wallachian bank of the Danube, and were compelled to witness the destruction of their batteries. There was nothing revolutionary or strategic in the flight of the Russians.--.

The most important feature in the news of the week, is the gratifying intelligence that the Russians, utterly baffled by the gallantry of the defenders of Silistria, have raised the siege of that valuable fortress, before which their soldiers have fallen by thousands, and their generals have been severely and in more than one case, mortally wounded. 'The defence of this place is one of the most brilliant feats which the Muse of History has had to record, and we are not sure that, when the whole circumstanees are taken into account, the prestige and the enormous force on one side, the discouragement and the compara- tively inadequate means on the other, the re- sistance offered by Silistria will not take a dressed the meeting at great length on H uoted, at great held out to our people. eq Aachen the Russian Generals had d responsibility of their destiny.
