They expect us to do so much, and they say we ought to work cheaper for them because they are 'our friends.'" Look at them in Canada.
An English gentleman who has for many years resided there, and who has recently visited Washington, told me that they were the most miserable, helpless human beings he had ever seen.

In fact he said, "They were nuisances, and the people of Canada would be truly thankful to see them out of their country." He had never heard of "a good missionary" mentioned by Mrs.Stowe, "whom Christian charity has placed there as a shepherd to the outcast and wandering." He had seen no good results of emancipation.

On one occasion he hired a colored man to drive him across the country.
"How did you get here ?" he said to the man.

"Are you not a runaway ?" "Yes, sir," the man replied.

"I came from Virginny." "Well, of course you are a great deal happier now than when you were a slave ?" "No, sir; if I could get back to Virginny, I would be glad to go." He looked, too, as if he had never been worse off than at that time.
The fact is, liberty like money is a grand thing; but in order to be happy, we must know how to use it.
It cannot always be said of the fugitive slave,-- "The mortal puts on immortality, When mercy's hand has turned the golden key, And mercy's voice hath said, Rejoice, thy soul is free." The attentive reader will perceive that I am indebted to Mrs.Stowe for the application of this and other quotations.
The author of Uncle Tom's Cabin speaks of good men at the North, who "receive and educate the oppressed" (negroes).
