LEAVING FOR CANADA.––We hear of a number of colored men, fugitives, who have left the city for Canada within a few days. We perceive that a panic exists among the fugitives in other cities, who had heretofore believed themselves safe, trusting to the assurances of the Republicans. In Toledo, as we learn for the Herald and Times, there is quite a stampede for Canada among the blacks.––Cleveland Plaindealer.
