"| FUGITIVE SLAVES IN CANADA. A degree of attention has of late been directed to the condition of .the I'ugitive Slaves resident in Canada, but comparatively little information | concerning" them has reached the public. he presence in this country of the Rev. Samuel Ringold Ward, who has been delegated by the Anti. Slavery Society of Canada to make the case of these Refugees more generally known, has eaused a number of Gentlemen to form a Com- see Mee for the purpose of raising a fund to afford them temporary relief, on their arrival in Canada, from the scene of their bondage. The entire number of Fugitives in Canada may be estimated at from thirty thousand to thirty-five thousand, of whom from three to five thousand have ann ually escaped since the passing of the Fugitive Slave Law. On their arrival at 'Toronto, and other places along the Canadian frontier, 'that i is, along a boundary of some seven: | handred miles, they are usually destitute of every | thing, having g general y fied: stealthily, and with- out making mach preparation for fight. anes, goat a humerous privations on their painfal sand wearisome journey, being in constant peril by the way, not only through. the Slave States, but through the Northern, or "nominally free, At any point, if overtaken, or diseovered, or even suspected, they may be dragged before the Courts, and, upon a most summary process, sent back to endure a bondage of which "the ord nary rigours are always increased in the case of Fugitives, to operate as aswarning to others. ilence, during their flight, they are ina constant state of sus- pense, fear, and excitement; and when they reach the Canadian: frontier, usually fall inte a condi- tion of bodily. and "menta Me ee a which | renders them incapable of immediate efforts, and _makes them objects of compassionate interest, Being stra tngers, destitute of the conamonest | necessaries, and in some instances, suffering from temporary iliness and over fatigue, they require a helping hand. The Anti- Slavery Soerety of Canada,-and a Ladies' Soeiety at Toronto, pro- vide these Refugees with food, clothing, tools, or whatever they require, until they procure _em- ployment and can support themselves. This necessarily entails avery cousiderable expendi- ture, which these Societies are not in a position to, meet to the extent to which their aid is needed. {tis not only an interesting fact, but one which should be emphaticall y dwelt upon, that the Re- fugee Fugitives require only temporary assistance. Labour of every kind is in great' demand, and _the Society 'being kept. duly informed of. the parties who are in want of labourers, they sel- dom fail to procure employment on advantageous terns. In no instance wi.hin the last year and a half has the Society been called upon to extend re- lief for more than six days, except in cases of sick- ness. The fund sought to be raised is therefore not 'intended to be ® set aside to maintain ~able- bodiéd men in idleness for'ah indefinite period, "| but to enable the Canadian' Society to ens to | the large claims made-wponit, to supply the more . immediate ; and pressing demands of the Pugitives on their arrival, and until they have sv ficiently | recovered from fatigue to avail themselves of the advantages of abundant emp! leyment and-+food, good = wages, cheap land, equal liberty, and im- partial laws, and the -privileges and rights. which are common to other classes.of Canadians. - Canada being thenearest of the British Colonies to the: United States, (the stronghold. of Slavery) it is of no small importance to encourage the 1m- provement and elevation of these negro refugees, because of the influence, direct aad reflex, which \-would thereby be brought to, bear upon, American Shae The black settlers of Canada are nearly all of them fugitives: from slavery. 'Uheir im- provement would be a triumphant rebuke to those who once held them as chaitles, and to those who hold that the slave requires to be prepared for freedom; for-they would exhibit the spectacle of a people just escaped from the galling yoke com- peting as free men, successfully and honourably with other labour: Further, as there. exist in Canada some of the prejudices against colour, and as the-progressiveinprovement of the coloured , 4 population is gradually undermining and destroy~ ing this feeling, their pease affords a prac- tical demonstration, not only of the equal capacity of the negro fur self-advancement where he has a proper incentive to labour, but of the unreason- ableness of the prejudice against him Lastly his social elevation by his own industry and eee prise, is even now trimuphantly proving the 'the righteous- ness and the practicability of immediate emanci- pation, (in so far as the slaves themselves are concerned) and the perfect capability of the negro to Jive and to advance under the same government and upon terms of political and social equality with the Anglo-Saxon raise, or any other of the one great humrn family. s2: P Atalarge pie ble meeting held in Free- -mason's aes the Right Elon. the Karl of Shat- tesbury in the Chair,--after an Address from Rev. eRe Warp, showing the condition of the Fugi- tive Slaves in Canada and stating their need of temporary aid immediately upon their arrival in that Colony.--it was pr oposed bysthe RewiCGiB Gripe, of St. Paul's East 'Smithfield, and secconded by the Rev, Tomas Jamas, Secretary to 'the Colonial Missionary Society, and adopted: _ " 'Yhat having heard the statement of the Rev.

Toronto, March 25th, 1854. CALL. POR. NATIONAL EMIGRATION eS tobias "COLORED MEN, To be held in Cleveland, Ohio, on the 24th, 25th and 25th of August, 1854. Men anb Breruren :--The time has now fully come, when we, as an oppressed people, should do something effectiv ely, and use those means: adequate to. the attainment of the great and long desired end--to do something to meet the actual demands of the present and prospective necessi- lies of the rising generation of our people in this country. 'l'o do this, we must oceupy a position of entire equality, of unrestricted rights, composing in facl, an ackhowledged necessary part of the ruling element ot society in which we live." The policy necessary to the preser vation of this element must be tn our favor, if ever we expect the enjoy- ment, freedom, sovereignty, and equality of rights any where. For this purpose, and to this end, then, all coléred' men in favor of emigration out of the United States, and opposed to the American, Colonization sheme of leaving the Western Hemisphere, are requested to meet. in CLEVE: LAND, OHIO, on TUESDAY, the 24th DAY. of AUGUST, 1854, in a great NATIONAL CONVENT iON, then and there, to consider and decide upon the great and important subject of emigration from the United States. No person will be admitted toa seat in the Convention, who would introduce the subject oi emigration to the astern Hemisphere--either to: Asia, Africa, or Hurope--as our object and de- termination is to consider. our claims to thé Wesi Indies, Central and South America, and- the Canadas. 'This resiriction has no reference' to personal preference, or individual enterprise ; but' to the great question of national claims to come b a 'ihe 'Convention, - | persons coming.to_ the Convention Se credentials proy perly authenticated, or bring verbal assurance to <he oe on Creden- to the measures and objects set toith h in this Call as the Convention-is. ee ly by and for the friends of emigration, and NONE OTHERS= and no opposition to thei Will bé entertained. The question is nol whether our condition can be bettered by emigration, but whether it can be made worse. It not; then; there is no part of the wide-spread uhiverse, where, our social and poli- tical condition are not better than here in our na-. tive country, and nowhere: im the world as here proscribed on account of color. Weare friends, too, and ever sae stand shoulder to shou! dep by our brethren, and all oui* friends insall good measures ddopied by them fo) the betiering Gi our condition in this country, and surrender no rights but with.oarlast:breath > bu as the subject of | emigration is of vital importance, and has ever been stiunned by all delegated as- semblages of our people, as hevetofone met, we. cannot. longer delay, and will not be furthei bafiled ; and deny the right of our most sanguine friend or dearest brother, to preyent an intelligent enqniry to, and the carrying oatof these measures, when this can be dose, to our entire advantage as we propose to show in Convention--as the West Indies, Central and South America--the majority of w 'hich aie peopled by our brethren, o: those identified with us in rage, and what is more, destiny, on this continent--all stand with open arms and yearning hearts, importuning us in the name of suffering humanity to come--to make common cause, and share one common fate on 'the continent. The Convention will meet without fail, at the time fixed for assembling, as none but those fa- vorable to emigration are admissable 5 therefore no other gathering may. prevent it. The number of delegates will not be restricted--except in the town where the: Convention may be held--and there the number will be decided by the Conven- tion when assembled, that they may not too far ex- ceed the other delegations. The, time and p.ace 'fixed for hol lding the Cin vention are ample ; affording' sufficient. time, and a leisure season generally --and as Cleveland is now the centre of all directions--a good and fa- vorable dpportdniy. 'to-all who desire to attend.-- Therefore, it may reasonably be the greatest oes 'of the colored people ever before assem- bled in a Convention in the United States. Colonizationists are advised, that no favors will be shown to them or. their expatriating scheme, as we have no ey with the "enemies of our race. All eolored men, Bast, West North a South, favorable to the measures 'set forth in this Call will send in -tbeir names (post-paid) to M. R Delany, or Rev. Win.
