The presence in this country of the Rev. Samuel Ringold Ward, who has been delegated by the of these Refugees more generally known, has caused a" number' Of Gentlemen to form x Com: them temporary relief, on their, arrival i in Canada, from the scene ane bondage. may be ear at 'saree nih Miousend to thirty-five thousand of whom from three to five thave'annual ly es¢aped. since the passing of the Fugitive Slave Law. On their arrival at Toronto,and other places along the Canadian frontier, 'that is , along a boundary of some seven hundred miles, 'they are usually destitute of every thing , having. generally fled. stealthily, and with: out 'making mach preparation for flight. They undergo numerous privations on their "painful and wearisome journey, being: in constant peril by the way, not only through . the Slave States, but through the 'Northern, or nominally free. At any poini, if overtaken, or discovered, 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 ordinary rigours are always increased in the case of Fugitives, to operate as a warning to others. Hence, during their flight, they 'are in a constant state of sus- pense, fear, 'and: excitement; and when they reach the Canadian frontier, usually fall into 'a'condiz tion of bodily and ~ mental 'prostration, which renders them incapable of immediate efforts, and makes them objects of compassionate interest. 'Being strangers, destitute of the commonest necessaries, and in some instances, suffering from temporary illness and over fatigue, they require a helping hand. The --Anti- Slavery Society of Canada, and a Ladies' Society at Toronto, pro- Stda" these Refugees with food, clothing, tools, or whatever they require, until 'they: procure § em= ployment' and can support. themselves. This necessarily entails a very considerable expendi- ture, which these Societies are not in a position to.meet 'to the extent to which their aid is needed. "Tt is not only an interesting fact; but one which | should "be emphatically dwelt upon, that the'Re- fu: gee Fugitives require only temporary assistance. Labour nie 'every kindis 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 terms. ©In'no instanee wi-hin the lastyyear, and. a half has the Society, been called upon toextend re- lief for more than six days,except in cases of sick- ness. The fund sought 10 be raised is therefore nol intended to be set aside to maintain able- | bodied. men in idleness for an indefinite period, but toenable the Canadian, Society to respond to the large claims made upon it, to supply the more immediate and pressing demands of the Fugitives on their arrival, and until' they have su ficiently recovered from fatione to avail themselves of the | advantages of' abundant employment and food, good wages, cheap | land, equal liberty,and im- partial laws, 'and the privileges and rights gel are' common 1o other classes of Ganadians. "Canada being the nearest of the British Colonies 'to the United' States: (the stronghold of Slavery) provement 'and elevation of these negro refugeés, would thereby be brought to bear wpon American Slavery. "The black'settlers of Canada are nearly 'all.of them fugitives from slavery.

Lastly, his socialelevation by his own industry and enter- prise, is even now trimuphantly. proving the: fitness of the slave for freedom, the righteous: ness and the practicability of iinmediate emanci- pation, (in so far as the Slaves 'themselves are concerned ) and the perfect capability:of the negro to live and to advance under.the same government and upon terms of political and social equality withthe Anglo-Saxon raise, or ny other of the one great: humrn family. * At a large and respectable meeting held in Free- mason's Hall:the Right Hon. the "Bar of Shat-. : tesbury in the Chair, --afier an Address from Rey., S.
