No one knows how false such assertions are, so well as the slaveholder. Does not the slave at his feet endure all manner of CANADA. 199 sufferings and privations from the hands of his master? Are not the slaves of the South the mechanics and artisans thereof? Does not the slaveholder, when offering a slave (especially if the latter be his OWN child) for sale, boast of these qualities, by way of obtaining a larger price for him? When bought, is not a high price paid for the slave because of his ...possessing these qualities? As' one of the many good results growing out of the residence of 40, 000 fugitives in Canada, I hail the refutation of this calumny. As one of the many facts which practically de- monstrate the falsity of the disparaging remarks concerning the Negro, made by his enemies, I hail " the Dawn" settlement, its present success and its prospective prosperity. I know not that I shall "travel beyond the record" in speaking of Chatham as a settlement. It certainly contains a large proportion — some say, and I think correctly, one third — of coloured people, and most of them live in a portion of the town which might not unjustly be called a coloured village ; and, that I may make a remark or two, applicable alike to this and to other towns wherein our people live in districts by themselves, I will introduce to the reader Chatham as a settle- ment.
