Anti=Slavery in Canada. "The first anniversary meeting of the Anti- Slavery Society of Canada, was held at Toronto last Wednesday night. The attendance was large. The report of the Society denounces the African Emigration scheme, and estimates the number of colored persons in Canada West at 30,000." The following resolutions were passed by this Society, which'seems to be exerting a goodly in- fluence inv behalf of our race, not only in the U.S,, but under this Goyernment. 1, That while we deplore the continued existence of avery in the world, and especially in the United Stutes,. s 2m not merely sinful in itself, but the cause of nu- merous evils Political, Social, Commercial and Religious, ive rejoice in any favorable symptoms. that promise its ) abolition and utter extinction. 2 'That, in common with Wilberforce, Buxton, Macau lay, and their associates and stiecessors, we huve no. con fidence in the American Coloniaition Society, founded, and chiefly supported, as it has been, by Slaycholders-- the worst eneulies of Freedom and of the Slave, whose welfare they pretend. to he anxious to promote by expatria tion to Liberia, 3, That while we would, gratefully 'record our thanks to those Clergymen and others in yhe United States, who hnve semobly exposed the atrocities of the Fugitive Slave 'Law, we deplore the indifference of some and, the un righteous approbation of others whose duty it is to vindi cate the Gospel of Christ from the aspersions of those who represent itus a shtelt for eruclty and injustice, 4.

Was it not for the encouragement that the American Colonization scheme receives from some of our pumplin-headed douzh-faced snuff colored -| gentlemen, its vessels would soon rust out for want of patronage, and the society would have no converts to rejoice over from our ranks. The following, from the Evening Traveller is specimen of one of those hirelings who is employed by a pro-slayery party. "On Thursday evening last, a colored man named Jones, for some years o slave atthe Sonth, gave in account of his life, at Lyceum Wall, South Boston, Supposing that of course he would speak against the peculiar institutions of the South, several gentlemen who believe that slavery \s the grehtest curse in our country, and that it should be | abolished, cost what it may, cume forward and assisted in prying the expenses. of the hall. "(Much to their surprise, lowever, Jones took a differ ent view of the matter, applauding Dantel Webster for te course he has taken, and soying thatthe happiest part of his life when he wasaslive; Indeed) he for one had no objection to returning to. 'Old Virginny,' and thought the slnves at the South were much happier than many persons atthe North, This greatly exelted several of the contributors, and two or Uirce gentlemen arose and endeavored to refute Jones' statements, He, however, persevered in the statements till the close of the meeting stopped the dispute."

We now call attention to tle difficulty into which Smith had fallen with the overseer who had taken Jodging with a female slave in the slaves' cabin. The order given' by the overseer was to "lay hold of him or knoek him down," which order was immediately obeyed by an able bodied black man, who struck Smith on the back part of his head with a heavy club which brought him senseless to the floor. The next morning about 9 o'clock when he awoke from this half dead state, batlied in blood, he found himself bound with strong cords, lying ina horse cart (like a slaughtered iow) driven by the overscer himself, who was conducting him to the cold dungeon of the Richmond jail, wherein he was kept for several months. While there he learned from another slave that his wife for whom he had sufiered almost death itself, had been sold by her master to a trader, who carried her to the State of Kentucky, : At length his master came after him with the spirit ofa demon. After having him stripped and most unmercifully fogged, a hot iron was applied to Ins quivering flesh on one side of his face and back of his neck, which left stamped, in letters of flesh and blood, the initials of his master's name. few days after this punishment, he was sold at publi¢ auction to Wm. Graham, with whom he lived about three years, du- ring which time he resolyed to run away. to Canada, where he had learned from an Trishman, that ever'y colored man who ran away from slavery and went there was made free by the laws of Great Britain, This secret he communicated to another slave whougreed to come with him to Ca- nada. « Th¢ir masters worked tliem both hard, and fed them! very scantily, and had it not been for the racoons, oppossums, and other small game which Mr. Smith sind his friend used to catch in the woods after night, by the 'aid of « good! huntine: dos, they must have suffered many times almost unto starvation ; but Smith had taken the precaution to train up a good, hunting dog, which by the by, will be seen to have proved truer to his master, than his supposed human friend, for on the night that they were to start for this country they had agreed to meet together ata certain place, where Smith did arrive at the appointed how; but instead of finding 'his professed friend there he found a company of armed white men; who had been apni segpot the 'scheme by Smith's companion, for the sum, ofone dollay in money, and a half callon of whiskey. When Smith started trom his humble cabin, that night, in pursuit of his long subverted rights, his faithful hunting de moved off prancing before Lim. Smith be al in ¥ s he dvey near the spot tried to drive im back, but this proved to, sowsht to be admitted, found in him an where he and his friend were to meet, the dog commenced to growl and bark, and got before' his master as though he' was trying to prevent him frorn advancing to the place where these highwaymen were lying concealed to capture the poor man, who supposed that the dog was only bark- ing at his professed friend, until his ene- mies had surrounded and taken him asa criminal condemned for the love of liberty. The strugele was desperate for a while be- tween the white men against the slave and Ins devoted dow before they were conquered. atter Smith was knocked down and com- pletely overcome, lis doy, which had bit two of the party in the contest, reluctantly fled away, or followed ata great: distance, doubtless fearing that' he should be: killed for the active part which he had taken in defence of his master : but still bore his tes- timony against them by raising an avwiul howling when he heard the pitious cries of his master, who was stripped, tied up and flovved by the bloodthirsty party who captured him. They then took him home and called up' the man who had betrayed him, and' who was there made to repeat the whole plot over before Smith, They then and there paid the traitor, a half gallon of whiskey and one dollar in money for his base treachery to Sinith. The whole crowd dvank whiskey so freely: that night that they became. stupid and careless about, Smith, after they supposed. that they had got him drunk, for they made him drink seyeral times, after which he made them believe that he was almost dead drunk. Several of them said that he was so d: unk that he would not be able to stir before the next morning, so they retired and left him lying on the kitchen floor, as they supposed drunk and asleep. About one hottr after- wards when he supposed that all was asleep he bid a final adieu to the abodes of slayery and resumed his journey for Canada. He had not proceeded far from the house before he was avain greeted by his. devoted hunt- ing dog, which seemed to be-iilled with joy at tho release of his master, Ie endea- voured to drive him back, but did not succeed, the dow was determined to follow him. When hehad travelled about fifteen miles on his way he discovered the dawn of daylieht breaking upon' him, which forced him to seek a place of concealment during the day. We crouched by the side of an old mossy log with his dog close by his side. 'The dow seemed to be quite rest- less and to be tilled with fearful apprehen- sions, every stick that cracked or leaf that rattled, seemed to arousé his senses 'to watchful care, so that Smith thoueht that he had better kill him, lest some one 'should be passing through the woods and the dor bark at. them which would betray. his whereabouts ; haying with him the rope with which the drunken: party had Jett him tied the night before; he fastened it about the dog'sneck and Jed him to a small tree where the poor fellow was to be exe- euted, The dog Joaked up at his master while he was tying the rope, with all the intelligence of a human being and the de- votion of an launted friend, making no resistance whatever but appeared to be wil- ting to lay down his life for the liberation of his master, 'This singular conduct on the part of the dog, led him to pause and ask himself the question, whether it would he rizht in the sight of God for him to take 'the life of that doz, which had proved so true to him in the hour of danger ?

My dear Puvitive.--To-day, I first learned that my former letter reached you, and was laid before your readers: Not haying seen it, I feared that you had not got it, and 1) gave up the idea of corresponding for your sheet. I now resume my pen, but more for the purpose of excusing myself from further service for the present, than witha view of doing: anything special in the way of correspondence. You will seo by the True Wesleyan of May 1, when it appears, that T have been elevated to the rank you have now held, for some months, in the world of letters.

The recent case of Preston, who was arrested and returned from New York, by a dishonest process in the first instance, and a most flagrant out- rave on the part of the marshal, has excited a deep and powerful enmity to the infernal law.

When he insisted on knowine the reason of this, one of them informed him that there was too little evidence of graces adapted to the work ofthe ministry you know that the Methodist discipline sks in reference to all who think themselves called to preach " Have they gifts, graces, and fruits ? This settled his destiny ! Lacking grace, he now disposed of his gifts so as to produce fimit of at least a temporal kind, and became a lawyer. It was not many years before he commenced figuring as a politician. This was in the campaign of 1849, when the Barn-burners began to show their hoof, which, fora loner while, was concealed from sight by the long robe of hypocritical abolitionism they wore. 'Then he was opposed to slavery and to its extension !, But he did notsuc- covd in being elected to office. This did not pay; so he ttrned slave-catcher, and recently sat for his portrait before that in- imitable author. of pen and ink sketches Horace Greely, who has done him up as large as life, and twice as natural!

It is a very strange idea to besure. But then, in this country, there are many queer things, known as " Yankee notions," and this is one of them. And what a notion!

Let Nature and Capacity Rule. An article appeared under this heading- in the Sept. No. of the Journal. I adopt the sentiment exactly, but think the author forgot part. of her text; based the argu-- ment on capacity, and left nature mostly out of the question. ; Nothing is move evident than that nature: has made men and women unlike, not. to: say unequal, The author of the article alluded to says, " The assumption that sex, as such, has rights, is the fatal idea which has kept us in the unequal and cireumseribed position we oecupy.' Here seems to be the great mistake, that the sexes cannot. occupy different positions without being un- equal. 'Can the hand say to the foot, I have no need of thee?" They perform diferent offices as nature designed they should, and yet, are they not equal? I think obstetrics, as an art, should be entirely in the hands of our own sex. Tam furfrom being' willing to admit that my own sex have uot the capacity, as well as the men, for all kinds of medical practice. Man may have the capacity to practice obstetries,. but nature revolts at the idea, Who does not know that many a parturient patient has had her pains greatly imereased by the unnatural presence of a male obstetrician ? For my part, I cannot see why, in this try- ing hour, a male practitioner should have anything to do with that which has hitherto b-en sacred' to the husband, and to him alone. It is here that I have seen the greatest blessings of Hydropathy. It has enabled many women to pass safely through these periods, with no other assistance than the husband, or nurse. , I do nat wish custom to decide when and where our sex shall go, or what duties they shall perform; let nature and capacity de- cide that. Rules established by custom are always arbitrary, but nature's rules are never' arbitrary. 'The fashions are a sad illustration 'of this' subject. What can be more destructive to our sex than the pre- vailing modes of dress? Surely, they were never dictated by nature. f Nature is perfect, as is its Author; therefore, let' us study nature, and perfect our ways) my HT.
