Letter to my old Master. sik No. 2. ~ Mr. Atnenr G, Siocery : j Sir, f At the close of my last I promisod to call your attention to this subject again--and in doing so my object is not merely to convince you that I have acquired the 'art of communicating my thoughts intelligibly on paper to be read by tyrants, notwithstanding they with yourself have done their best to keep me in perpetual bondage | and ignoranee--but it is to warn you of the preat "danger to which you are éxposed while standing "in the attitude of an incorrigible sluve holder. ~Tmean that you shali know that-tiere is a just 'God in heaven, who cannot harmonise human ; 'slaver: ry with the Cliristian religion: Imean that you shull know that there is alaw which is more Dindiug upon the consciences of slaves than that "of Congress, or any other liuman enactment--and T mean that you shall know that all, of your slayes have escaped to Canada, where they are ju 'as free as yourself, and that we have not for- "gotten the cruel treatment which we received at your hands while in a state of slavery. I haye often heard, you say thata slave who was well ' ded, and clothed, was far better off than a. 'free Negro," who had no master to nipriide for and take care of lim. Now with all candour in answer to this pro- slavery logic, let me ask who is it that takes care of the slave holders and theit famlies ? Who is it "that clears tip the forest, cultivates the Land, "whanages the stock, husbands the grain, and pre: pares it for the table? Who is it that digs from the cotton, sugar, and rice fields the means with which" to build southern Cities, Steam boats. School houses and churches? T answer that it is the slaves, that perform this labor, and yet they 'or. their children are not permitted to enjoy any of 'the benefits of these Tustitutions : your former slaves who are now British subjects, are about trying the dangerous experiment of taking care of themselyes--which, has so far :praved to be a very, successful one. Their services' are worth to them here upon an ayerage one dollar per day -they are also nttending a night School for the { (purpose of learning to. read and, write, With . the above facts before me, J am led to the conelu- _sion that the slave who can! take care of himself and master both can certainly take care of him- _relfalone, if he is only given a fair chance, Oh! tell me not then Sir, that-a man is happier and, better off in a state of chattel bondage than in a 'state of freedom. Tho idea of a. man being a -slaveof being subjected to the will and power -ofa master, is: revolting to his very nature. "Freedom to uct for onestself though poorly clad, 'and fed with a dry crust, is glorious when com: |. pared with American slavery, even if it sliould, Mee dvessed hy broad eloth, md fed with all, the luxmptes whic the human appetite could vant This right is highly appreckuted by the Lheasts of 'the fovost and the fowls of the air. terrific serecclie of the hooting night owl is animating to himself and musieal'to his kind a he goes through the tall forest, from the hill! lop, to the valley.

The hot season, which has been attended with much sickness this sunimer in Wind- sor, has now passed away and our commui- ty was neyer blessed with better' health than at the present time. The rail: road is 'still, progressing, but there will be no large buildings putup by the company in Windsor, until next spring or summer, when the demands will dowbt- less be large for brick, stone, lime and laborers. nye Messrs Charles Hunt, and Blackader, have just sold out at-auction their large 'stock of drygoods g avoceries &e and anothor gentle- man is fitung up the same stand, to com- menée business in.

We attendeda meeting last evening, in Detroit, which was addressed by Gen. Wil- son of Boston,Mass, and the Hon. Joy P. Tatn,of N. H.. The mecting was. in),.the whig club room, which was: nothing like large enough to contain the vast multitude of ladies. and gentlemen in attendance. Mr, Walson spoke for. one hour, presenting, a logical cliain of argument, exposing the) pro- slavery. policy of the two great parties and at the same time presented the claims of. the Free Democracy of the country to the support of the anti-slayery public, in astyle and force seldom. equaled by any aes mati, Mr. Hatz, next "ees a atnlt the most euthuastic applaudings and held the audience on their feet who listened: with profit and delight for about two. hours longer. Any auitempt, on our, part. to dis- cribe the ability and power of this speech would prove w failure and do injustice to the speaker, . Suffice it tosay that it was one of John P. Iale's ablest efforts, which was loudly applanded by friends and foes who heard it, and one which will seeure thousands of votes for the noble standard bearer of liberty im. Michigan. We hope to see the speech reported entire, after which we shall lay it' before our readers, Prejudice againxt tho jiaiabn sens inn Canadibe An urikenawi nindividual under Pipi of "W_O,," has written,» letter in the, Ouk, of Sept, 24th, against the Refuiroes: and their Tomo" in Canada, tis' a poor mol thing, ee of of principle or ar- nent, Ve do not Sage at the writer's being ashamed to attach his nawe'to such ian ar- ticle. It is not only a maliznant, poverty stricken thrust at an unoficnding people, fleeing from a bondage which is more to be dientled than the grave; but is an insult to every respeetable white]: uly in the proyinee.

In all that is commendable, wo have rea- son to believe that the colore d man would not be found inferior to this unknown writer. But the point to which we call special attention is that the colored men are not fit to inhabit tho samo. country--to be taught in the same: schools, or to worship God. in churehes with the whites;)¢ and-yet-these-are the men that white girls are going to make choice of for lrasbands in Canada, Now we think that this.'is put- ting down our Canadian girls alittle too low.

Mr. Birney, has just written another Jet= ter, through. 2 Douglass' paper, in which he re-afiinns the position taken by himself on that subject, im the pamphlet, which he published in Cincinnati, last Winter-- and still rescommends the free people of color to leave their native Jand, and their enslaved brethem, for the pestilential shores of Liberia. 'The areuments used by Mr, Birnoy, in favour of this scheme, are very similar, to those used by the late Uenry Clay, of pena upon the same subject. Mr, is doubtless willing to concede a alte to a corrupt public sen- timent which is as sacred to the colored population of America, as lifo itself.

He sought to, know 'that we have a responsible 'Government; and, that' the colored people have a yoice at the ballot box in Canada, in. common with 'the white subjects ;and that there is nothing in the laws here to prevent a colored, man drom being. elected to, the highest office in. the gift of the people, but for.want of votes enough, wich was the only.thing that pre- v ented Lim, from being President of. the United States, in 1844.
