Some one has said that the heroism of the hour is amone the fugitive sl.ves; itis not in the Saxon race of America, for they have suffered their dearest rights to be wrested from them, ley the slave power. Slayery ts no longer ¢ n- fined to the colored the U. States. White men are slaves; they have lost free race In speech, there is only a step between this and absolute bondage. The extension of slavery over the entire North by a recent decision, its fillibustering spirit, and repeat- ed agressio:s upon. freedom everywhere, has made it-a continental question. What security have we here in Canada, that our liberties will be perpetual, if this infernal The overthrow of slavery inthe United States, has at last become a British questiun, be- cause our peace here as' British subjects is endangered by its continuance; already its influence has been felt here. We would therefore warn our colored fellow citizens to be careful in the exercise of the right of barbarism is allowed longer to exist. suffrage; be argus eyed in guardiny your interest, in sustaining the honor and dignity of the British Empire, Let us be strietly Conservative until the great battle between Liberty and Slavery is decided on this Continent This reform party | is nothing more nor less, than the old Locu- | foc» party of the United States galvanized, Toronto, a Rank-vn its tail in Essex, pro- fessing so much love for the "dear prople." We have seen enough of democracy and slavery in the United States, without. wish- ing to see it introduced here. Clear Grit, Reform and Radical, are words that belong to the vocabulary of Yankeedom, they act like an em-ticon us to mention them. Let us under the banner of that Conservatism, that has offered the only asylum for the colored man on this Continent, renew our vows of hostility to slavery, and devotions to its principles. We believe in non-interven- tion; but thisis a vital question, that not only disturbs the peace of nations, but secks to enthrone itself upon the liberties of very man mankind. Jt respects not color, clime, nor condition, but lets its blows fall just as heavy upon the uncovered head of a prostrate Senator, as jt does upon the body of weak and defenceless woman, driven to unpaid and thankless toil. We profess to be lovers of peace; but it myst be an honorable peace. We believe "that resistance to tyrants is obedience to God:" that the slaves of the South have an undoubted moral right to break their chains, even if in the act, they were compelled to break eyery slaveholders neck; with us it would be a clear moral duty. Rights such as life and liberty are not conferred upon man, neither can they be taken away, be- cause they are inalienable; a part of man's be.ng as essential to his existence as an accountable being, to the faithful perform- ance of the duties and obligations of life, as the powers of respiration; and the intelli- gent being, who understands bis divine origion, and immortal destiny, that suomits to slavery rather then death, eommits a -- | | fatuated by a fine yoke of cattle beluaging : sss eeag Scott decision, that he could not resist them, wrapped in a lion's skin, a Brown head at | i passing down King Street, from our - walk. ject of Human Ruiguts.
