THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
Senor Castelar on Slavery.
.(Froin, the Con IN: Y. Times.)
Senet Castelar has delivered his promis-
ed discourse in fairer of the abolition of sia-
eeri from the first of January, 1871. As
usual. the first orator of the Chamber ex-
pressed himsellwith the nerve and eneagy
which distinguish him., His speech was
fillod with.sublime thoUghts, and ;carried
With it the eloquence of undisputable logic.
He first depicted in all its horrors,- slavery
as it exists. At every sentence the entire
Chamber broke out in applause. He was
listened to attentively and earnestly for two
hours. Senor- Castelar has studied the
question of shivery in all its phases. He
maintaina that slavery is an attack -upon
the rights of humanity. A man cannot,
must not, be the propertyof another man.
The Commission: and the Government
. wish to ha xe a gradual abolition. He said
:—
"This system is full of dangers, for it will
.iii•ovoke insurrections. We ought to imi-
tate the French Convention which. abolieh-
ed slavery, re-established by Napoleon I.,
and again abolished by the revolution of
1848. Modern slavery is due to the slave
trade.' There is not in the whole world. a
blacker criminal than the slavedealer. The
shark which follows his ship, with its odors
of human flesh, has moee heart, more con-
science than be has. He makes of his ship
a horrible ,floating dungeon crowded with
men. If cruisers pursue him he throws
half his cargo overboard. In the spring of
1866, a slave captain in order to escape,
abandoned on a desert island eighty negroes,
• all of whom died of starvation. Are You
quite sure that no one of these was not driv-
en to devouring the flesh of one of his
- low beings? No society is possible in which
• women are soId 'Lee mares.. The fate of a
slave depends upon the merest caprice, the
cast of a die. Children are separated from
• their mothers. The slave is born with the
mark of the iron upon Mm: heis cared for
as a beast of burden, and he works under
the whip. He is perhaps only happy when
he is i,sleep dreaming that he is free. And
for these reasons We hear of -our four hun-
dred suicides of slaves in one year in Ha-
vana, Let us immitate England who spends
millions to purchase thefreedom. of its
slaves-. Onno occasion can humanity be more
grateful to us for the Sacrifice. Look at
what has taken place in the United States.
• America was created to be the- terrestial-pa-
radiie of the regenerated freeman, and y6t
slavery existed there. The evil had become
so great that it profaned the breast of the
great Repeblic. But Jefferson traced the
line upon ;which the black wave of slavery
would break. The partizans of slavery be-
came so powerful that they attempted .to
cross this line, when the navigator of the
Ohio and Mississippi, the rail -splitter of
the West, mounted the Capitol at Washinee
ton to burst the chains of three millions 'cit'f
slaves. And, that nothing might be want- from scientific men, practical agricultural-
• th river, afferded the only means of access
to the • rocks below. It was supposed lie
-would be found clashed to pieces upon the
rocks, and you may judge ofhw delight of
the, agonized mother 'when the little fellow
was found endeavoring to free himself from
the tree -tops seventy -Eve feet below the
brink, into w'hich he had fallen, comparative-
ly unharmed. He• suffered a few slight
scratches and bruises, bib no very serious
hurt.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM DR. LYNCII--AD-
VICE TO INTENDING -SETTLERS---DELAY
COVNSELLED—THE CLIMATE, ETC.
As the season is passing rapidly, ,and we
are daily in receipt of letters from Forte
William chronicling the slow progress of
the ;troops towards' Fort Garry, it will be
safe toipredict that they will not arrive
much before the end of August or first of
September. In view of lolls gteat delay,
the long unsettled condition of the country
and a' possible continuance of disordei• after
the arrival of the expedition—which, ilexes-
sarilymust bo very short,however—under all
the cii1curasta.nces, I consider it my duty to
advise those who have it in contemplation
to emigrate to Red River country this year,
taking into consideration the latefiess of the
season and their consequent inability to do
much for themselves after arrival there be-
fore the coming winter, to put off going till
next spring. •
- By making more complete preparations
for next year, and arriving at their destina-
tion early in the season, they will be pret-
ty nearly as far advanced in a year's time
as if a trial were hazarded now. They will
secure, too, the additional advantage of
greater security, aslarge; numbers will be
going in, with a certainty of peacable pos-

'I do not wish, however, to dissuade those
who are ready and about to start ftimu pro-
ceeding according to their intention, but I
would simply wain them that they are in-
curring -some risk. With those who have
been in the country previous to the present
trouble; the case is different. I ani of the
opinion that it is the duty and to the inter-
est of all Such to return at the earliest op-
portunity.,
These remarks, it must be borne in mind,
are called forth solely on' account of the
disturbed political state of the country, end
have no refereuce to any unsuita,bility of
soil or climate. I am not aware .whether
youtereaders have had brought under their Na

before a special committee of the Semite attt
Ottawa this session on the Agricultural and ent
other resourcee of the Territory-, and the 1.08
digest of the chairman, Hon. Mr. McCully,

ous season, but the immediate precursor of
winter.
The winter sets in with little or no wa

That the climate is favourable to the pr
duction of all kinds of fruits, is proven by
the abundance of wild fruits growing every-
where, even much farther North than the
Settlement is likely to extend for many
years. Wild grapes, plums, strawberries,
raspberries, hops and cranberries, are the
most common.
Regarding the healliiness of the country)
