Lonpon, C. W. May 18th, 1857. Mr. Dovciass;--By the courtesy of a friend I have had the opporiunity of seeing copy of the "Provincial Freeman" of the date of May 16th. In. your leader for that week (an article headed, Anti-Slavery Lecturing--Our suc- eess-in' Canada,)----among other matters, you speak of your visit here, and of the "re- miniscences" thus "brought back," of the "Buckey-State.. Thus far you are very complimentary, (whether deserved or not deserved,) but ou makean'additional remark, about which some of us here desire to make a request. And that is--that you will explain to us just what you mean by the following: -- «Weare sorry that Mr. Day has: not put himselfin a proper position to. give the colored people the benefit of his classical education and fine leterary attainments" PROVINCIAL FREEMAN AND WEEKLY ADV COMBINATION CO'S COLUMN, es Concuesrer, New Lepanon, May 18ih, 1857.

If we can get our living, what do they send their ciothes here to us for? why,to degrade us, that they may sell our names in the States and get money to make themselves rich, 'This shows that they are not our frien s, but the friends of slaveholders.

This shows that the colored people can get their living here if they try. Ifthe white people wish to be the friends of the colored people, they will e their friends by helping the slaves to Canada, and when they get here let then goto work and g t their living ordie. We have the same rights in law here that white men have and we can get our living without the old clothes, like they do.
