Inthe Provincial freeman, of May 16th and 30th, are editorials, so. palpabiy fulse and abusive, and withal, reflecting so much upon the first Culor d Baptist Congre= vation, In Chath m, that, that body has ap- pointed us, whose names are undersigned, to prepare astatement in reply, The editori- als referred.to, are headed "More Begging ! KKlder Pier, Free Mission, Baptist Mis- sionary at Chatham ! 1 <Ciothes for the Fugitives 11" With respect to the beg- ging charged upon Wider Piper, by. the Freeman, we are authorized to say this much: that he wil! unite with us in condemn- ing the " begging system" fur the Fugitives in Canada: 'because' he believes, as he stated, in. his.article referred to by the Freeman, that " the morals of the colored people are goud, as a general thing, and their temporal condition, and proseepts' en- couraying," but, being requested by a So- ciety of Ladies, formed to aid the Fucitives, that shou'd he see any cases of . necessity, not otherwise provided for, to inform them. He accordingly informed 'them that. a box was needed, (not "boxes," as" falsely pnb- lished by the Leeman), therefore he . was not obnoxious to the chirge of reviving the '"" begging system," or even to be called "the beggar" in' this' case. ~The Editor of 'the Freeman wust have a very treacherous mem- ory, or.else be obnoxious. to. tbe charge mide Jy the Propbet Je emiah,. against some of his time, © thit they taught" thetr tongus to speak lies."° "Por'when ~ she said, "a collection: of $15 was taken in his (i1- der Piper's) chureh, for Mr. Lull, a worthy she uttered a falsehood, and conveyed a false impression. 'be collection was about $10, and was'given by a conereeation, com- posed of Methodists, Baptists and other citi- zens belunging to neither Society. So when she suid, when speaking of a member of the Methodist Church, who had lost his anti-slavery man from the United States," | ADVE D TO INDEPENDENCE." ATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1857.

INVARIABLY IN: ADVANCE: )NUMBER 47 "household goods" by fire, the " Methodist congregation volunteered $44 to him as their quota of the very liberal donations, to the same end by the citizens generally, so that his pecuniary stateis better than be: fore," she told just one trath, viz: that he was burned out. He received in all $17 69c. while his loss was some $300. Query ; if tne citizens generally, gave very hberal donations to that amount, how much did the collection of Methodist Church amount to? So when she said "Elder Piper preacn- es to, encourages, and and beys for separate | Churches and Schools," she should haye said, that the church to which Elder Piper preaches, had an existence prior to any white Baptit Church, in Chatham. Had she told the rediders of the Ereemaa' that Elder Piper started a school when urged todos 5 a school in which no distinction of color are made. She had told the 'truth; thoush her friend Metyger, 'whoicame to Chatham to teach the prescribed Government. School should not. bave thesupport of a false state- ment to prop up his claims. We are ata oss to knowwihat she means, when she says 'a few colored'people aided © by their Mis- sionaries: from the United Ststes, petitioned v the Canadian Government, that their bildren might have the Separate Schoul riviege thea desired*by™ them and _ their rayer was granted." entire people? ..As for ourselves,. we know we should be quite as much _ benefited by Mr. Douglass, if he were now employed at his business as a barber, in Cleveland, as we are by the inteligence he diffuses' among 'us.

Prince, and to abuse their - friends. But we look upon the wholesale begging, for the Provincial Freeman asa low and seandiilons act, as we belihve. it is only to benefit the' Proprietors, and not us: 'be- cause we believe a.good paper .devoted to the interest cf the. "Canadian Refugees" ought to be, and would be sustained, by the more than forty thousand, with the aid it would get: from the rest of mankind. As thé paper is now. managed, we think it an.injury rather than a bletsing, to those to whom.it professes to plead, and we most emphaticaly declare,'that' we are nt benefitted by the labours..of -Messrse 'Shadd .and---Doidotass, however much they may spread inteligence abroad. - We. make these. statements. in good faith, and if Mrs. Vary chooses to de- ny them, we 'will defend them 'openly in a public asserablyin: Chathamwheri 'such as- sembly is. called -by. hers) H In behalf.af the First.
