She won't treat on the subject or listen to any overtures about it. Hon- est folks, who don't justify highway rob- bery as a virtue, would suppose that was ee end of the matter. IfI don't choose sell my printing and type, none but vil- lains of the degpest dye, would think of 'taking them from me by force. But the Slave Masters of this country are not restrained by any such nice con- siderations of honestv as govern men io their private transactions. Itis a " nation- al"? question, and what is 'national' must be devilish ofcourse. Kidnapping and pi- racy, if only national, are honorable prac- tices which all good citizens must aid or abet. 'The Slayeholders want Cuba to ex- tend their power, and the area of Slavery, and they must have it. They are ready to buy it and make each man with a family of five pay $25 for it. Orifthey can't buy it, they are ready to goto war and snend double that sum--Two Hundred Millions of Dollars--and let he)l break loose all over the Union and swallow up honesty, moral- ity and' religion for aifew years, just to show the Northern Dough-faces' that their noses are on the devil's ¢rindstone, while they are at the crank.

Yours, &., "To the Rev. Mr. Manning. of the Col- lege at Providence, Rhode Island. "Op Jewry, 11. December, 1785. "Tam happy to find that you have rea- son to think that, in process of time, the slavery of the Africans throughout the United States must be abolished; 'that the plan formed for peopling the new States does not admit of personal slavery ; and as these are contiguous to those where it still obtains, the owners of slaves will de- rive from them but little advantage, as stepping over thé line will insure them their liberty.'. This will surely bea de- sirable and happy effect; but yet I can- not help being jealous, lest the custom (which has for many years so shamefully prevailed in Americ.) of taking up runaway slaves, and delivering them to their masters, for the sake of the advertised rewards, should still continue, if it is not prohibited by express Jaws, and a repéal of those by which wickedly encouraged; because use (even to a proverb) is second nature--1 Cor. xv, 33. The habitual sophistry of in- terested menis apt to darken the natural knowledge of good and eyil in others, so that some persons perhaps (honest enough) An other matters) may think there is no ipo eo dishonesty in stopping rin- away slaves, and delivering them to their masters. Ihaye therefore enclosed an ar- gument on that subject, which I drew up many years ago, when J first began to vin- dicate the rights of poor negto slaves, against the established opisions of Some great lawyers, (the Lords Hardwick, Tal- bot, Judge Blackstone, &e;) and my en- deavors, thank God! were not in vain, but} proved : the end completely effectual to Witiram Jay. se ae * the enfranchisement of every slave (I mean every domestic or private slave) that touch- es English ground. , mL remain, with great esteem, dear sir, your oblioad lumble sérvant, " Grayvitte Suarre." The Empevigi Decree. The following is the Janouave of the Senatus Consulium adopted by the French Senate relative to the establishment of the'! Empire, with Louis Napoleon as jis head : "Art. 1° The Imperial dignity is re- established. Louis Napoleon 'Bonnaparte oe under the name of Napoleon' _ "Art. 2. The Imperial diznity is hered- itary in the direet and lezitimate descend- ants of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, from to the perpetual exclus: their descendants. , "Art, 8. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, if he has no male child, may adopt the legitimate children, and descendants in the male line of the brothers of the Emperor Napoleon I. The forms of adoption are regulated by a Senatus-Consulium. If after this adoption male children should be born to Louis Napoleon, his adoptive chil- dren cannot be called on to succeed bim until after his lecitimate descendants. The adoption is jaterdicted the successors. of Louis Napoleon and to their descendants. * Art. 4. Louis Napoleon regulates by an organic decree addressed to the Senate; and deposited in lts archives, the order of succession to the throne in the Bonaparte family, in case he should leave no Jeviti- tate or adoptive heir. "Art. 56. In default of a lecitimate or adoptive heir of Louis Napoleon Bona- parte, and of the successors in a collater- al line, who shall derive their right in the above mentioned organie deerce a Senatus Consullum, proposed to the Sen- ate by the Ministers formed into a Coun- cil of Government, united to the Presi- dents of the Senate, of the Legislative Body, and of the Council of State and submitted to the acceptance of the peo- ple, names the Emperor, and regulates in his family the hereditary order from male to male, to the perpetual exclusion of females and their descendants. Until the moment when the election of the new Emperor is consumaied, the affairs of state are governed by the Ministers in or- fice who shall form themselves into a Counell of government, and deliberate by a majority of votes. "Art. 6. The members of the family of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte called event- ually to the succession, and their des- cendants of both sexes, form part of the Imperial family. A Sena ws-Consultum regulates their position, They cannot marry without the authorization of. the Emperor. Their marriage without such authorization entails privation of all here- ditary right, as well for him who con- tracts it as for his descendants. "Art. 7. The Constitution of the 15th January, 1852, is maintained in all pro- visions which are not contrary to the present Senatus-Consultum; there cannot be any modification made in it, except in the forms and by the means therein prescribed. ' Art. 8. The following proposition shall be presented to the acceptance of the French people, in the forms determined by the decrees of the 2d and 4th December, 1851; The people wish for the re-estab- lishment of the [mperial di ymity in the per- son of Louis Napoleon, Bonaparte, with hereditary rightin his direct descendants, either lecitimate or adoptive, arid give him the rightto regulate the order of suéces- sion to the thione in the Bonaparte family, as provided for by the Senatus-Consudium --November, 1882." ion of females and és Aid for Fugitives in Cumada. We have received communications from Windsor and other places. in regard to the remarks lately made by the Secretary of the Anti-Slavery Society of Canada, touching the much disputed question--' Shall aid be given to fugitivesin Canada." it is unne- cessary to publish any ofthem. We like the spirit of self-reliance exhibited by the Wind- sor meeting referred to, but the resolutions passed by the meeting condemn the receiy- ing of aid, more on the ground of improper distribution, than from the fact that there éxists no need of-aid. Abuses do exist, un- doubtedly but why not seck to remedy a- buse by selecting honest men or women to act.as almoners, There are surely honest /men enough in Windsor to receive and dis- tribute the donations of the benevolent. As to the " Refugees' Home Scociety," there may be unwise articles in their constitution and by-laws, but this is no reason why the whole society should be characterized as lswindlers. Let those interested endeavour to have these evils rectified, and not deal conclusion, that except in cases of extreme estituiion, fugitives should be left to them- sélves, Work can be had by all who are willing to work, and the lazy deserve not encouragement in their laziness. Societies on the principle of the Toronto Ladies' Asso- ation are, what are needed. They attend i wholesale denunciation. We repeat in to cases of destitution, and find employment for those able co work.--Gobe. Colored Peopie's WMesting, in Windsor. We stop the press to give the pro- ceedings of a meeting held last evening io the Barracks. The notice was given out . called upon to read her own made a long speech in support of the same. The substance of these resolutions were to denounce all of the papers publish- ed in Canada, as unworthy of the support of herself and clique in Windsor, (not one of whom except, her takes a newspaper) and to recommend the establishment of a journal of their own of which we sup- pose the lady in question is to have em- ployment in begwing, and at the same time to haye a vent to pour out her vitupera- tion, The argument used by this masculine individual was to cast particular reflection upon the Toronto Globe, charging it with partiality, and unsoundness. Being pres- ent we of course taken exception to this, | and attempted an humble yindication of| the Toronto Globe, Montreal Witness, and other Provincial papers that boldly speak out on the great question of human liberty when necessity requires. They attempi- ed to cover their moyement with a show of respectability by resolving to inyte cer- tain prominent gentlemen in this Province, to the editorial chair of their contemplated paper. But whom they will doubtless find to be above tarnishing their reputation by becoming the mouth pieces of this clique of a "baker's dozen." We have no objection to the pretended object of the meeting, as stated by the chairman, to be the elevation of the colo: ed people, nor of the proposal therein made to establish a press. This is a matter which anindiyidual, or any number of in- dividuals may do in a free country if they are so disposed. But we do object to the real object for which Miss Shadd, assembled her 'corporal guard" yiz: to reiterate for the hundredth time her abuse of the Refugees' Home Society, its constitution and Ofiicers. Despite of which the Society moves pros- perously. As to the intended abuse of us "we pass il by as the idle wind wiiich we regurtl not." But probably the most dis- graceful feature of the whole meeting was th vulgar treatinent meted out to the Rey. J. I. Copeland, a stranger from Toronto, who in the latter stage of the meeting asked permission to speak, and as a, true Minister of God, counselled peace, harmony, and christian forbearance on the part of the prime movers of this meeting. And after giving him the privilege of Speaking, they hooted at, and mocked him, and told him to sit down. t We are happy however to be able to make exceptions, for such men of weight and respectability in our community as Colman Freeman, Wiley Reynolds, and M. P. Mitchell, who. ave the pillars. of the Church, and colored society in Windsor, who did not give any countenance to these disgraceful proceedings. Liens, New Assocrarrve Enrrrprise.--We have received a circular issued by several friends of social reform residing mostly in New York and vicinity, giving information of the commencement of a new associative enterprise, upon the principle of co-opera- tiveindustry andeconomy. <A farm of two hundred and seventy acres of good, well- watered land, beautifully situated on the bank of the Raritan river, near its mouth, has been purchased, and the proprietors are proceeding to make extensive and sub- stantial improvements in houses, shops, a wharf, &e., upon it. The Association takes the name of the Raritan Bay Union. It will aim to secure to all its members the highest attainable advantages of education, of socjety, and of practical business, " un- pledged to any social theory," and in ac- cordance with "such principles of Joint Stock Association as commend themselves to conscience and common sense." A- mong thost engaged in the enterprise are Marcus and Rebecca Spriny, Theodore and Angelina Weld, Sarah M. Grimke, Thomas and Paulina W. Davis, Win. Henry Channing, and Mrs, Tyndale of this city. The plan looks promising, and from the character of those engaged in it, we are sure it will not fail of success for want of energy, business talent or practical ex- perience an their part.--Penn. Freeman. ka The wai-debts of the European na- tions amount to' $100,000,000,000. It would require the labor of four millions of men, at $150 per annum, to pay the inter- est ofthis sum at 6 per cent. To pay the principal, it would be necessary to levy a tax of at least $10 on every inhabitant of the globe! Another fact rendering this more impressive, may be found in the "scraps of curious information," that no heathen nations are in arrears for the but- cheries they have prepetrated on the human as @ "mass meéting'"': but it would have been more proper to have called it Mary Ann Shadd's, and Thomas. Jones' meet- ing. 'The latter'is well known to be the mere tool and lackey, of the former, who uses him in seeking public notoriety, by taking advantage of his ignorance; as the more intelligent portion of the colored people of Windsor, have lon since become disgusted with her conduct in these meet- ings. So Jones with all of his ignorance brings a pocket full of resolutions, in her hand writing, nota word of which he is able to read--and she as usual was appoint- | not think of condescending tosoil their white male to male, by order of primogeniture, race. They pay cash down for all that is done for the devil under their hands, Chris- tian nations alone "go on tick," for that kind of service. Tue Compnomisn=-The following exposi- tion of the compromise, is according to truth and Mrs. Swisshelm. We take it from the Visiter. Slaveholders hunt and fish, ride and walk, smoke and swear, for exercise and amuse- ment; strut round with their hands in their pockets and sport gold chains.--They do ed astistant secretary of the meeting, and| hands by any kind of useful industry, never writing, and | 1 Tess 1 with a whipping if her work is not well one; or by selling one of her children when when they want money. Then if said wash- erwoman gets tired and runs away, all his worship has to do, according to the com- promise, is to ery, "catch her Towser !" and forthwith our blacksmiths must drop their hammers, farmers their plows, carpen- ters their planes, and run--like friends of the Union--until the old jade is nabbed, missioner, and they must run her back to their work to*raise ten dollars to pay said commissioner for making outa warrant and hiriog a marshal and escort to take her safe back to her master. Such is the Comprom- ise which Democrats boast ofsupporting, and the Free Democracy have only to press an open issue to sweep their ranks. A the city of New York isnow thoucht to be the best slave market, in the world, The very best quality of human chattles will not bring a thousand dollars a head, in Brazil nor in any other slave-market in the known world, excepting the city of New York ; and they will bring that price without reference to age or quality. Bring on your stock--the "merchant princes" haye plenty of change, fz We are happy to learn that Mr. John Scoble has arrived in New York, and that he purposes making Canada his home. Tis numerous fiends in Toronto, will be glad to hear that he is expected to address a Public Meeting on Tuesday next, 14th instant, which is to be called under the aus pices of the Anti-slavery Society--Due notice of time and place will be given. -- Globe.
