I PRINTIBD Ali D BOUND BT HUNTBB,, BOSE & CO., TOBOMTO. vj INTEODUCTIOR WHEN the American Colonies revolted in 1776, and declared their Independence, there was a very large number of the Colonists who vehemently opposed the movement, and aided the Imperial troops in the war that ensued. Those who took up arms for the Crown, fought for a United Empire, that was their rallying cry, they wished to see the hinglish race united under a com- mon flag and under the same sovereign. They deplored the dismemberment of the Empire, and during the long struggle maintained a sturdy adherence to their princi- ples. They were known as the United Empire Loyalists or as has become a familiar phrase on this continent, the U. E. Loyalists. On the conclusion of the war, and the severance of the old Colonies from the Mother Country, these U. E. Loyal- ists abando^ng all they possessed, moved into what is now New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, in 1783, and in 1784 a large number of them moved up the St. Lawrence and settled in the then unbroken wilderness of Upper Canada. Many also moved from the United States through the wilderness, to the Niagara River, where they crossed into British Territory and made the first settlement in that district in the same year. A very large m i 9!m * IV INTRODUCTION. proportion of the present population of Upper Canada can trace their desceiit from these early pioneers, who settled this Province by reason of their unyielding loyalty to a great principle. This volume records the Celebration of the Centennial of the arrival of the U. E. Loyalists in Ontario. The demonstrations originated in the following manner : Some time in the summer of 1876, at a meeting of the York Pioneers, held in Toronto, the late Mr. Richard H. Gates suggested that as the United States were celebra- ting the centennial of their Declaration of Independence, it would be but right for the descendants of the United Empire Loyalists to hold a celebration in honour of the gallant efforts of their fathers to maintain the unity of the Empire, and in grateful recognition of the sacrifice made by them in founding this Province, as a British com- munity. Dr. Wm. Canniff pointed out to the society that the settlement of Upper Canada began in 1784, by the arri- val of the Loyalists, and that 1884 would be the proper date for holding the centennial celebration in Ontario. Mr. Oates coincided with the view, and was looking for- ward to taking part in it with much anticipation, when death overtook him. This seems to have been the incep- tion of the idea of a U. E. Loyalist demonstration. On the twenty-ninth of October, 1880, Mr. Canniff Haight, in the Toronto Daily Maily suggested " an Exhi- bition, or some other demonstration in honour of the men \ INTRODUCTION. V who, through privation and toil, laid the foundation of this free and prosperous Province." This suggestion was noticed by the Picton, Belleville and Kingston papers. Nothing further was done in the matter until 1882, when the following letter was addressed to the Mayor of Toronto, by Dr. Wm. Canniff — ** St. James' Square, "Toronto, 14th Dec, 1882. '* To His Worship the Mayor : " Dear Sir, — I am greatly interested in the prcf^osed semi-cen- tennial celebration of the Incorporation of Toronto, and beg to con- gratulate you on having conceived the idea of such a demonstration. But my object in addressing you is to call your attention to the fact that 1884 will be the centennial of the first settlement of Upper Canada, when the pioneers— U. E. Loyalists, took possession of their lands along the St. Lawrence, from Kingston westward along the shores of the Bay of Quinte, and on the Niagara frontier. It has occurred to my mind that perhaps it might be possible, and deemed advisable to widen the basis of the commemoration and celebrate at the same time the centennial of the settlement of the Province. Of course, to do this it would be necessary to procure the co-operation of the other cities and the towns of the Province. There has been something said in the eastern papers about observ- ing the centennial, and Kingston was mentioned as the place most suitable for the purpose. But as there is some doubt about the matter, perhaps the centennial of the Province, find the semi-cen- tennial of the capital might be appropriately held in Toronto. This proposition may not be deemed feasible, but it seems to be a ques- tion not unworthy of consideration, and is, therefore, respectfully submitted to you for consideration. " I ani; respectfully yours, «'Wm. Canniff." 5"5'"»" VI INTRODUCTION. In accordance with the above suggestion, the Toronto Semi-Centennial Committee set apart one day for the TJ. E. Loyalist demonstration, and Mr. Wm. B. McMurrich chairman of the Committee, placed the whole matter of the Torouto celebration in the hands of Dr. Canniff. A meeting was called by Dr. Canniff, and a U. E. Loyalist Centennial Committee was appointed, and circulars were sent to all the Wardens of counties and Mayors of cities, asking their co-operation. These circulars, which were alco sent to ihe newspapers of the Province, attracted public attention to the matter, and at Adolphustown and Niagara, where the early settlements actually took place, the descendants of the U. K Loyalists decided to hold local celebrations. The Adolphustown celebration was fixed for the sixteenth of June, 1884. The first landing of the Loyalists at that point having taken place on the sixteenth of June 1784. The Toronto celebration was fixed for the third of July, and the Niagara one for the fourteenth of August. The Appendix contains a copy of the Order-in-Council of the 9th November, 178^, ordering a record to be pre- served of the U. E. Loyalist settlers, and also a copy of the U. E. List preserved in the Crown Lands Department, at Toronto, with all the notes and remarks in it complete. This list, which has never been published before, contains the names of the many thousands of U. E. Loyalist set- tlers who founded the Province of Upper Canada. The following pages contain accounts of the three cele- brations in the order in which they came off. CONTENTS. ADOLPHUSTOWN CELEBRATION. IR8T Day— pagb Address by Lewis L. Bogart, Esq 11 •• A. L.

V UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. CEI^TEOIAL CELEBRATION AT June, i6th, 17I and 18th, 1884. IN connection with the celebration, and as preliminary thereto, the corner stone of the Methodist U, E. L. Memorial church was laid on Saturday 14th June with pecu- liarly interestino^ ceremonies. There were present, Rev. D. V. Lucas, B. A., of Montreal ; Rev. J. J. Leach, of Odessa ; Rev. M. L. Pearson, of Napanee ; Rev. Adams, of Bath ; Rev. Briden, of Newburgh ; Rev. M. I. Bates, of Tamworth; and Rev. Mr. Gibson. All these participated in the pro- ceedings. The ceremony of laying the corner stone was performed by Mrs. Joseph Allison, one of the few remain- ing ones of the first generation succeeding the U. E. Loyalists. This lady having been for nearly three-fourths of a century a faithful and consistent member of the Methodist church, and being the daughter of one of the Loyalist Pioneers, it was peculiarly fitting that she should perform this office. The stone having been laid, refresh- ments were served, when an adjournment was had to the gospel tent, which had been erected across the road, where 10 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. Rev. Mr. Lucas delivered an admirable address appro- priate to the occasion. He predicted a brilliant future for Canada so long as she continues her loyalty to Methodism and Great Britain. A few brief words from Revs. Leach and Gibson, and the proceedings were brought to a close by singing " God save the Queen." On Sabbath, Rev. Mr. lucas preached th^'ee sermons in the tent to large audi- ences, his a Mresses being marked by power, force and a practical application to present circumstances and require- ments. Seldom has it been the privilege of the people of this section to listen to three such effective discourses in one day. The financial outlook for this undertaking is most encouraging, as indeed it should be, located as it is in the heart of a large Methodist community and in the richest section of this fair country. On Sunday, 15th June, a sermon was preached at St. Paul's church, Adolphustown, and* St. Paul's church, Fredericksburg, by the Rev. C. E. Thompson, M. A. In- cumbent of Carlton, Diocese of Toronto, from Ezekiel, xxxvi, 28, " And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my peop''% and I will be your God. The preacher is a grandson of the late Sheriff Ruttan, one of the United Empire Loyalists. The sermon was re- plete with historical facts in relation to the Loyalists. A highly eloquent discourse terminated with a reference to the wild idea of independence. He gave six months as the time the independence craze would continue. The usual Sunday quietude of the front was much changed by the presence of the 15th battalion, which arrived from Belleville in the morning at daybreak. The battalion, under the command of Col. Lazier, was camped near by the place of celebration on the shores of the JDay, and the red coats gave an additional amount of beauty to the scene. The regiment had Divine service on the United Em- pire Loyalists burying ground in the afternoon. Rev. Mr. CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 11 Forneri preached an eloquent sermon. He held up the Christian loyalty of the sires of Canada as a pattern to modern Canadians. On Monday, the ICth of June, the celebration com- menced. From early dawn carriages began to arrive ; all Adolphustown and adjacent places were well represented. The day was most auspicious. By noon a number of boats from Belleville on the west and Kingston on the east arrived with decks crowded from all the intervening oints. The Picton troop of cavalry under Major Fred White was among the arrivals. Three bands discoursed sweet music at frequent intervals, the fine band of the 15th battalion, the band from Picton, and the band of Kingston. The military display was very fine. The proceedings were opened by the playing of the National Anthem and a public invocation of Divine blessing on the day's festivities and those taking part in them. In the afternoon the people were summoned about the speakers' stand, and addresses were delivered. Above the speakers' heads floated the handsome flag of the Native Canadian Society, of Belleville. The programme was opened by the playing of the National Anthem, and the invocation of the Divine blessing and returning thanks for the prosperity which has attended the U. E. Loyalists and their descendants, and the nation which they founded. The President, Lewis L. Bogart, who is over eighty years of age, and who was selected for the position because he is the oldest living male representative of the U. E. Loyalist band, came forward and delivered the following brief but pointed address : Ladies and Gentlemen — I can assure you that it affords me very great pleasure to see so many present to do honour to our fathers and forefathers who landed at this place a century ago to-day. If we go back in our imagination to that time when the little company who had left their all for the love of king and country, and 12 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. came here to hew out for themselves new homes in this vast primeval forest, and then as we look around us to-day, contrasting the past with the present, and behold a beau- tiful land, beautiful homes, a country free from famine and pestilence, where the pure bright sunlight of God's love shines down upon a prosperous, contented and happy peo- ple, who enjoy the blessings of peace on every hand and good will toward man, we would be very ungrateful indeed did we not appreciate the sacrifices and labours of our pioneer ancestors in procuring for us so goodly a heritage. I can only say that my father and grandfather were among that company; and I rejoice that I have been spared to see this grand centennial celebration in their homes. Although I feel incompetent for the duty assigned me, I de- sire to thank you for the honour you have conferred upon me in choosing me to preside on this occasion. A. L. MoKDEN, Esq., vice-president, was then introduce ' and delivered an admirable address, of which the follow- ing is a brief synopsis : The present is an occasion of no ordinary interest. Th3 people of Adolphustown and those associated with them in the enterprise have put on foot this celebration in order, to use the words of that grand old man. Dr. Ryerson, " to do at least a modicum of justice to the memory of a Canadian ancestry, whose heroic deeds and unswerving Christian patriotism form a patent of nobility, more to be valued by their descendants than the coronets of many a modern nobleman." To-day the people of Adolphustown witness the beginning of that for which many of them for some time past have ardently toiled and hoped. To-day, Adolphustown extends a cordial welcome to the descendants of every U. E. Loyalist, and every loyal citizen of Canada, on these beautiful grounds. If Adolphustown be a small township, it is small only in its acreage, but it has standing ground enough for every Loyalist descendant in the Province of Ontario, and the people have hearts large enough to give them a hospita- CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 13 ble welcome to this historic ground. When the Roman dominion was at its best, when the city sitting upon her seven hills from her throne of beauty ruled the world, when the Romans from their lofty civilization and cul- ure dictated laws for all succeeding ^ ages, Civis Romanus sum, was the proud boast in which the citizens claimed participation in all the greatness, the glory and the pro- tection of Roman citizenship. It is ours to-day to be able in saying, * I am a British subject." to utter a prouder boast than the Romans. It is largely due to the effort of those pioneers who, one hundred years ago to-day landed upon this spot, that this fair and fertile Province, and we who live in it, are British territory and British subjects. We do well to-day to take thought, for a little time, and congratulate ourselves upon our heritage, one which the lamented General Brock called upon our fathers in 1812, " Not to give their children cause to reproach them for having too easily parted with the richest inheritance on this earth — a participation in the name, character and freedom of Britons." It is said we are a young country and have no history, but I have not read of any country which, during the last one hundred years, has a more glorious history. If our forefathers for their fervent loyalty to Britain, lost every thing but their honour, and bravely bore the hardships and privations of first settlers, what feelings should animate our breasts to-day, when with our attachment to British laws, institutions, tradi- tions, rights and liberties, there is added the intensity of our attachment to the sovereign. Never had British subjects such reason for inviolable attachment to the ruler as have we to-day for Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria. Thirty years ago the poet Laureate prophesied that our children's children would say of Her : " She wrought her people lasting good, Her court was pure, her life serene, God gave her i)eace, her land reposed, A thousand claims to reverence closed In her as mother, wife and queen." 14 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. To-day this forecast is abundantly verified. But, ladies and gentlemen, it is not proper for me to further occupy your time. I am only here to extend to you a cordial welcome to our celebration, to break the ice, as it were ; the orator of the day is our cherished friend, the historian of the Bay Quinte Loyalists, Dr. CannifF. Thanking you for the kind hearing you have given me, I will conclude with some words of Dr. Ryerson, uttered at a ir^eeting of Loyalists at Brock's monument : — " May Loyalty ever be the characteristic trait of Canadians, may freedom ever be our possession, and may we ever have cause and heart to say God Save the Queen." Dr. Canniff then delivered the following address. Ladies and Gentlemen, — Two hundred j^ears ago or more, at a seaport town in Holland, was to be seen on a certain day, a sea-going vessel, around which was the usual activity and bustle incident to the final preparation for a voyage. As the work of taking in supplies and putting the ship in sailing order was going on, a some- what motley crowd of on-lookers regarded the scene with a lazy, listless air of indifference. Suddenly the atten- tion of all was quickened by a remarkable occurrence. The doleful tolling of a church bell, heard now and again above the din of numerous voices, had passed unheeded by those collected on the shore. Now, however, as there appears a procession slowly wending its way toward the place, the solemn peals suggest the thought of death. Leading the procession walks a venerable looking man, whose garb and mien betoken a dominie or minister of the Gospel. After him came a young couple in the first years of vigorous manhood, and the fresh bloom of woman- hood, walking hand-in-hand. They are clotf ed in holi- day attire, and have the appearance of a newly wedded husband and wife. Following them are a man and woman, whose grey heads and bent forms speak of advanced years. Next is another couple, also in the decline of life. Then OENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 15 walk two and two men, and women, boys and girls of all ages. They all wear the habiliments of woe, and the pro- cession moves with a slow and solemn tread, as if follow- ing a loved one to his grave. All that is wanting to complete a funeral train is the hearse with its nodding plumes, or coffin containing the body of one dead. The spectators, hushed to silence, gaze on the line of mourn- ers, and wonder and watch to see its course and destina- tion. With measured steps the dominie is followed to the vessel, and over its side. Then they gather in a group upon the deck around the young man and wife. A eilence falls upon the assembled mourners as the man of God opens the Bible and reads from the inspired Book such words as give comfort and support to those who are bereaved. Now his voice is raised in prayer to God, and his prayer reveals to all who hear, the cause and reason of this strange scene. First, he prays that the aged parents may have Divine help in this their hour of trial in losing their dear children, and that they might still be happy in their earthly pilgrimage,be received hereafter into God's kingdom, and finally re-united to their children. He then commits to Him, who controls the winds and the waves, the young couple. He implores that they may be in His gracious care and keeping — these dear ones, who to-day set out at once on the journey of married life, and to cross the wide ocean, parting forever in this life from their parents and friends, and who are, as it were, to be buried in the far away New World. Words of counsel follow to the young pair, sympathy to the parents of each is duly given. Finally, amid emotions which can- not be depicted, the mourners at last tear themselves from the voyageurs, who cling to each other in this hour of sore trial. The stricken parents have looked upon their children for the last time; they, in turn, shall see their parents' faces no more in this world. This is a picture from real life presented at the period of time I have mentioned. Having determined to seek 16 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. new homes in America, this young man and woman knew, in making thib choice, they would leave parents and homes, with no possibility of seeing them again. Cross- ing the Atlantic then was a far different matter from what it is to-day, with rapid steam navigation. The name these young emigrants bore is one well known in Adolphustown. It was found among those who accompa- nied Major VanAlstine when he landed on this spot one hundred years ago to-day. And, pardon me for adding, I can claim to be, on my mother's side, one of the descen- dants of that pair, and there are not a few present who can make the same claim, and whom I am proud to know as kinsmen. The story was often told me by my venerated mother many years ago. I have presented it to you to-day, not merely for personal gratification, but to show the stern courage which characterized the first settlers in America. Many nations of Europe con- tributed equally bold and intrepid men and women to people the Atlantic coast of this continent. England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Germany, and Holland gave their most vigorous sons, and the Huguenots of France formed a rich quota to lay the foundation of the United States and Canada. It was mainly the descendants of these hardy pioneers of the seventeenth century, who a century later became exiles from their fathers' homes, and who penetrated to the wilderness of Upper Canada to plant the noble Pro- vince of Ontario. Why was it they left the comfortable homes their fathers had made, and the place which by their labour, energy, and enterprise had from a wilderness blossomed into a goodly fruitful land ? This is not the time to fully discuss the events attending the great Ameri- can rebellion of 1776. This is not the ^ace to weigh the controlling motives which caused a portion of the British Americans at that time to take up arms against the Mother Country, nor the abiding principles which im- pelled another portion of the same people to stand true CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 17 to the flag under which they had been born, under which they had prospered, and under which they had fought and conquered French Canada. They were willing to sacrifice and did sacrifice everything to uphold British power in America. But, while I may not to-day, place in the balance the motives which influenced the two parties — the Whigs and the Tories — of that day, I do maintain whatever reason the Whigs may have had for the course they took, the Tories, the Loyalists were actuated by a noble sense of duty, of patriotism, of Christian fidelity to the Crown. They could not discover a sufficient reason for raising the standard of revolt and engaging in civil strife. Neither is this the time to consider the reasons why the rebellion commenced in 1776 became a revolution, why rebels became heroes, and the British empire became dismembered. At the commencement of the hostilities the rebels were in a minority throughout the thirteen colo- nies. In New England they predominated, but many of the other colonies, especially New York, from which so many of the Bay of Quintd settlers came, were largely against the rebellion. I know exception may be taken to this statement on the ground that the war terminated in a revolution. But it must be remembered that the war continued for seven years, during which time the loyalists were continually leaving the country. Then there was a large number who were indifferent as to the result, and stood ready to embrace the cause which succeeded. There were even a considerable number of Whigs who, at first were averse to independence, and who were forced into accepting it. England was already engaged with Euro- pean complications. Then the mistakes and ignorance of the country on the part of the British officers in command in America, led to disaster and discouragement among the Loyalists. Finally, and which turned the scale, France gave substantial assistance, and at last the surrender of Cornwallis practically terminated the struggle. The end 18 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. had come. England recognized the independence of the Colonies, and the loyal Americans found themselves with- out homes, and aliens to the land of their birth. They were not only homeless and aliens, but they were subjects of persecution. Many would have accepted the changed condition and have become reconciled, but they were de- prived of their property and their lands wcxe confiscated. How the Loyalists departed — some driven away, and some because they would not live under any but the British Flag, and how they found their way into the wildernesses of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Canada, is a sad and touching story, a story which has never been fully told. Says an American writer, speaking of his countrymen : " Our writers of history have been almost silent upon this topic, and it is not impossible that some persons have read books devoted exclusively to an account of the revolution without so much as imagining that a considerable part of the force employed to suppress the rebellion was composed of our countrymen." But why has not the story been told by the U. E. Loyalists them- selves ? The words of the same writer gives the answer. He says : " Of the reasons which influenced, of the hopes and fears which agitated, and of the miseries and rewards which awaited the Loyalists of the American revolution but little is known. The most intelligent, the best in- formed among us confess the deficiency of their know- ledge. The reason is obvious. They, who like the Loyal- ists separate themselves from their friends and kindred, who are driven from their homes, who surrender the hopes and expectations of life, and who become outlaws, wander- ers and exiles — such men leave few memorials behind them. Their papers are scattered and lost and their very names pass from human recollection." To this may be added the statement that the pioneers of any country, struggling to create a home and procure the necessaries of life, have no time to devote to writing history or re- cording events. The consequences have been that while CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 19 the A nericans for a century have been engaged in writ- ing up the Revolution from their point of view, the history of the American Loyalists has received but little atten- tion, and many of the facts relating to their history have been irretrievably lost. No wonder then that the U. E. Loyalists are not only mostly forgotten, but have had their conduct, their mo- tives, and their character misrepresented by partisans. The efforts made by that noble and patriotic Canaclian, that grand descendant of the U. E. Loyalists — I refer to the late Rev. Dr. Ryerson — to place before the world a more accurate estimate of the Loyalists, and the attempts by others, in later years, to rescue from oblivion facts honour- able and praiseworthy relating to them, have been received, even by the Canadian public, with almost incredulity, when not with cold indiflference. During the hundred years that the Loyalists have been engaged in converting the wilderness into comfortable homes, the press of the United States has occupied itself, the thousands of Americans abroad have been assiduously at work educating the world to the effect that the American Tories of 1776 were the offscourings of the land, the vilest of the vile, worthy only of being execrated by mankind. Not only the daily and weekly press has been thus engaged, but the school books used by the young in the United States, and sometimes in Canada, have contained the most outrageously partial accounts of the struggle and the participants on either side. Never was history so perverted, never did misre- presentations so effectually deceive. Not only have the children of the United States been imbued with hatred towards the Loyalists, but the modern Englishman, Scotch- man, not to say Irishman, has accepted the teachings of partisan American writers. Even Canadians may be found who have nothing but praise for the rebels of 1776, and nothing but obloqu}^ for those who did not think re- bellion was a justifiable act. British statesmen and the press of Great Britain have seemingly vied to see which 20 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. II : could offer to the screaming goddess the most profound adulation. It would be amusing were it not humiliating to see Canadians so-called, shall I say bastard Canadians, especially those by adoption, endeavouring in a feeble way to cast discredit upon the U. E. Loyalists. With the most superficial knowledge of the subject, they under- take to instruct native Canadians respecting their fathers. They mostly set out on the supposition that the Loyalists had no love of liberty, that they were willing to be al- most, or quite, serfs or slaves, and to pay taxes to the Imperial treasury without Parliamentary representation. But nothing could be more at variance with the truth. In the first place, a vast number of those who ultimately sided with the rebels were indifferent about the question of liberty. A great many joined the insurrectionists sim- ply to advance their personal interests, and could their interests have been equally served they would have been found on the side of the Loyalists. With not a few it was only a struggle for office and power. On the other hand there were a very large number of Loyalists who recog- nized all the evils which really did exist in the relation- ship between England and America. They were not blind to the injustice which, in many ways, was evinced by the Crown toward the colonies. But they did not and could not see a sufficient grievance to justify rebellion ; at least they desired to seek redress by peaceful means. And those acquainted with the conflict of opinion among British statesmen at that time as to the rights of America know that, had peaceful means been pursued, all the complaints would, in time, have been removed. Then it must not be forgotten that Britain had given money and blood to con- quer French Canada in the interests of the colonies. It is submitted, as adequate proof of the statement, that the U. E. Loyalists were not without a love of liberty, that the subsequent history of the British provinces, set- tled by them, presents a steady and healthy development in liberal government; and to-day Canada has more CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 21 liberty and the government of the people is really more democratic than the United States. The sapient writers I have referred to, are wont to assert that the contest for responsible government in Canada was between the Loyalists, joined together in a family compact, and some- body else ; but whom has never been made quite clear. But as a matter of fact it was the general mass of the U. E. Loyalists who obtained the benefits of responsible government. The " Family Compact" represented only a fragment of the U. E. Loyalist element, and was by no means composed exclusively of that class. The love of liberty was manifested by the Loyalist settlers of Upper Canada in many ways. In the Declaration of Independence of the colonies it is stated that " all men are born free and equal." How far this principle was carried out by the United States, history tells us in words no one can mis- understand. As a matter of fact it was not until 1865, and after a bloody war in which hundreds of thousands of lives were sacrificed, that slavery was abolished, and the words I have quoted really stated the condition of the people of the United States. The proclamation of Presi- dent Lincoln, made necessary by the exigencies of the war, was made 70 years after the U. E. Parliament of Upper Canada had passed an " Act to prevent the further intro- duction of slaves, and to limit the time of contract for servitude within this province." And during this period Canada was the asylum of the down-trodden of the United States. Again, in the treatment of the native Indians, how difierently they have fared in Canada than they have in the United States ! While cruelty and in- justice have attended the footsteps of the frontier men in the latter, in the former, the aboriginal owner of the soil has been, like the African, treated as a man and a brother. His rights have been respected ; and treaty obligations with them, faithfully observed ; with the result, that, while bloody Indian wars have marked the history of our neighbours, we have had p^ace in our 22 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. borders. There is, thei'eforc, aliundant reason for main- taining that the U. E. Loyalists were not wanting in the essential principles of liberty; liberty broad and deep, which embraces all mankind, irrespective of race, or colour. But ladies and gentlemen, in drawing a comparison be- tween our U. E. Loyalists' fathers and the fathers of the republic, I have no desire to belittle people of that gene- ration. Any such attempt on my part would be puny indeed. While 1 honestly endeavour to eulogize the U. E Loyalists, I do not desire to ignore all that is good and noble in our kinsmen over the border. The bitter- ness of last century is all buried. As Canadians to-day, we entertain toward them no feeling but that of good will, and we wish them God-speed. We even hope that their destiny may be as ^.eat as we believe ours is sure to be. As an elder offspring of Old England we cannot avoid being influenced by her examples. But while that nation and the Canadian nation are advancing on parallel lines in growth and development^ the lines cannot come together. I am tempted to draw a comparison between the des- cendants of the rebels and Loyalists of 1776 as we find them to-day, but time will not permit. However, I hesi- tate not to say that the sons of Canada — children of the Loyalists, have physical and mentfil qualities which will bear any comparison. Ladies and gentlemen, we are assembled to-day to cele- brate the settlement of this province — the Province of Ontario. But we do so with no narrow feeling of sec- tionalism. We are here as Canadians above all. No pent-up Utica contracts our power and feelings of patriot- ism for the whole Dominion. The whole breadth of the continent — from Newfoundland to Vancouver's Island — is ours to hold and to cultivate. We take in our mari- time brethren, who also are descendants of the Loyalists. We do not exclude the French of Lower Canada, notwith- CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION, 23 standing their disposition to keep isolated, for we remem- ber how they stood firmly by the side of our fathers in the fight for Old England" in 1776 and 1812. We embrace the vigorous sons of Manitoba and the North- West, many of whom have the U. E. Loyalist bloo 1 in their veins; and we extend a brother's hand to the i-.yal Can- adians of the Pacific coast. Looking east, west, and north over our 4ch heritage, we say Canada one and indivisible for ever — Canada for the Canadians, and Canadians only. As Dr. Canniff concluded his address, the 15th Battalion heiided by their band, came down from the camp and made their way towards the spot where one of the genial events of the day was Lo take place, the laying with Masonic honours of the corner-stone of the new monument to the U.E. Loyalists. Thither the people filed. The Llasons also formed in line and proceeded to the spot in a body. The stone, which was lying on the ground, just at the edge of the plot used for the burial ground, was soon sur- rounded twenty deep by people anxious to witness the ceremony. All being ready, R. W. Bro. Arthur McGuin- ness, D. D. G. M., acting as G. M., made a brief address, in the course of which he eulogized the Loyalists, and said that the only reason why such men had not already had some such tribute as was now proposed to be erected to their memory, must be found in the fact that such acknow- ledgments of the people's love and gratitude must come when there was time for the cultivation of the arts and wealth to accumulate. He and his brethrr^n deemed it 8.n honour to lay this corner-stone, as a monument to the memory of men who had sacrificed so much for their allegiance to the British Hag. The mystic rites having been duly solemnized, a praye^' was oflfered by Worship- ful Bro. Rev. R. J. Craig, as Grand Chaplain, and the stone was duly declared laid. The conclusion of the ceremony was announced by the National Anthem by the band, followed by a grand salute by the loth Battalion, "B" Band, Kingston, and the Picton Silver Cornet Band, 24 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. fi * t which had arrived on the grounds early in the afternooij, played some lively selections near the speaker's stand. The addresses from the grand stand were then re- sumed. Mr. D. W. Allison, M. P. for Lennox, was called to the chair. He announced as first speaker, Sir Richard Cartwright, who came forward amid applause. After greeting the audience, among whom he ; recognized many old friends, he proceeded : I do not believe you could be assembled for a more laud- able or patriotic purpose than that which has brought you together to-day. We are here for the purpose of doing what honour we can to the memory of men to whom we owe it that not merely Ontario, but one- half the continent of North America, remains to-day under British rule. It is desirable, too, that we should endeavour to understand the magnitude of the sacri fice made by the noble band who a hundred years ago drew up their batteaux on the shores of Adolphus- town. These men were not inconsiderate youths ; they were men, most of them of mature years, and some ad- vanced in life, who won for themselves comfortable inde- pendence in a country south of us. At what they con- ceived to be the call of duty, they were ready to sacrifice everything that men commonly hold dear; resign the wealth they had accumulated, forfeit their prospects — their own and their children's — for sake of their loyi-lty to the flag under which they had served, and under which many of them had fought and bled. That was not an ordinary act, and men who performed it were cast in no ordinary mould. Nowadays it is far too common to judge a man's acts by the standard of mere material suc- cess. These men had something nobler and loftier before them. Had it been worldly prosperity they looked for they would have cast their lot in with the Republic to the south of us ; had they blenched from the trials before CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 25 to licli an in to luc- tore for to [ore them ; had they been frightened away from their task of carving a home in the wilderness — a very few years would have passed before the Amercan flag would have waved over the whole of this continent. Here the men who did these things possessed the courage of their convictions. Where they thought they were right, they were not afraid of being in the minority. They were prepared to fight, and if need be to suffer and die for their convictions. It is of such men the salt of the earth is made, and we in Canada have good right to be proud that we can look back to such ancestors. You may deem these men fool- ish in their enthusiasm, but if you are worthy to be their descendants, you will agree with me in saying that they dared greatly, and succeeded greatly, and they have left behind lessons which we will do well to follow. We ought, on an occasion like this, to understand what in- duced our grandfathers to make the sacrifice they did. You must look back a little to see America during the course of the eighteenth century. Beginning in 1700 and ending in 1775, a great struggle was going on, waged in different parts of America between the two greatest nations of Europe. In that struggle these men had many of them, borne a part. The struggle was to decide whether England or France was to rule this great conti- nent. Those who look back and consider how far the French pioneers he A advanced, ^ hat their exertions were, how much blood and treasure I^nglaud and France had spilled in the struggle, will understand in some degree why it was our forefathers desired not to show them- selves ungrateful for the great sacrifice which the parent country had made. The other da^ I came across a strange letter from the distinguished French General Montcalm, who fell in the great battle which finally decided the fate of North America. I find that Montcalm, who was not only a great general but a very able statesman, put on re- cord a prediction of his own fall, declaring he would be defeated, and that he would not survive the loss of North B I i 26 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. America. He predicted also that ten years after Canada was conquered, the other colonies would assert their inde- pendence. As you know, who have paid attention to history, that was fulfilled almost to the hour and day. Canada was ceded to Great Britain in 1763, and within twelve years thereafter the first blood was drawn in the struggle which resulted in the independence of the United States of America. The letter first predicts that if General Wolfe understands his trade that Montcalm must be defeated ; and declares that as this defeat means the total loss of North America, he will not survive. " I console myself, nevertheless, for the prospect of my own defeat, and of the loss of the colony, by my firm conviction that this defeat will prove in the long run better than a victory for France, and that the conqueror, England, will find a tomb in her own conquest. This may appear a paradox, but a little reflection and a glance at the political situation in North America will prove the correctness of my opinion. A large portion of the Eng- lish colonists are the children of men who left England during the period of the civil war, and betook themselves to America to find a country where they might live and die in freedom and independence. I know them thor- oughly, not by hear-say, but by means of sure information and correspondence which I have arranged myself, and which if my life had been prolonged, I had meant to turn to the advantage of France. In fact all the English colonists would have shaken off the yoke long ago, and every one of them would have become a little indepen- dent republic had it not been for the fear of France at their doors. As between two masters they preferred their own fellow countrymen to foreigners, taking care, meanwhile, to render no more obedience than they could help ; but if Canada is conquered, and if the Canadians and the English Colonies become one people the very first occasion on which England will appear and interfere with their interests, do you suppose the Colonists will obey ' Ft i CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 27 hor- tion and , to lish and pen- e at rred ;are, lould lians [first rith )bey her ? What have they to fear if they do revolt ? I am so perfectly certain of the truth of what I have written that I will only allow ten years after the conquest of Canada to see my predictions accomplished. Now you see the reason which consoles me as a Frenchman for the imminent danger France is incurring of seeing Canada lost forever." Most of the Loyalists whom we honour to-day had fought for the supremacy of Great Britain and of the British race in North America, and they thought after such great sacrifices that had been made they were bound to see that the English race was not robbed of the price of the sovereignty of this continent. Remember when in 1775, the Colonies decided to break off" their allegiance this struggle was of very recent date ; that many of the men served under British generals in the armies which conquered Canada and took Quebec. There were men of different classes among the Loyalists. Som^ were im- pelled simply by honest and laudable instinct of loyalty to the flag to which they had owed allegiance, and they were prepared to make sacrifices for that loyalty. I would have you all to make sacrifices where necessary for your convictions ; but besides these there were others among that band. These men, as their name United Empire Loyalists showed, thoroughly appreciated the enormous future which awaited the English race in North America. It would be a mistake to suppose that they wholly approved of the course of the British Government. As their correspondence shows, they objected, as Burke and Chatham objected, but they felt it would be a thousand pities and a disgrace to the race, that after all that had passed, the EngUsh race should allow itself to be split into fragments, and we have numerous proofs of how powerfully these men's acts and feelings affected the whole destm}' of this country. Gentlemen, the Loyalists builded better than they knew. They came a handful of men, perhaps four or five thousand souls, to the Pro- jl mi 28 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. vince of Ontario, and yet they have given to a very great extent impulse and direction to the feelings and destiny of four or five millions who now inhabit the Dominion. But for the effect of the example and traditions they left behind them, I believe you would not see yonder flag float from this ground to-day. If there be here, as possibly there may be, a few of those veterans who recollect the war of 1812 and 1815, they will tell you how powerfully the example of the Loyalists strengthened their hands for the desperate struggle to preserve Canada to the British Crown. Look to history and you will not find a case in the whole range in which a handful of men maintained themselves successfully against desperate odds, which reflects more lustre on the people who did it, than the struggle of our fathers in that war. America placed along the frontier 20,000 men, a greater number than the whole male population of the Province capable of bear- ing arms at that time. All the aid the British Govern- ment could send during the first year was four companies of regulars. She sent us also Brock, who alone was worth an army. Brock with eighteen hundred men reduced three thousand Americans to capitulation. In the face of the great European wars, the deeds of heroism on the frontier of Canada were lost sight of, but it is not for any patriotic Canadian to forget them. I have said elsewhere and I now repeat that the colony of Ontario has a proud pre-eminence among the colonies of Britain for this reason. All the other colonies have been founded by men who sought to better their condition, or were founded by the Government of Britaxo, or obtained by conquest, but Ontario stands alone as the colony founded by men making great sacrifices to maintain their alle- giance to Great Britain. I know of but one com- munity in America, or elsewhere perhaps — that founded by the Puritan fathers in New England. I am not going to make a political harangue, but I have ventured in an- CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 29 ^g to other place to point out how I thought we, descendants of the U. E. Loyalists, might best act in the spirit of our forefathers. Bear in mind that what these men sought to prevent was a division which France sought to foster between the great portions of the English race. I believe the Loyalists, and the people of Canada who derive their inspiration from them, can best do justice to the spirit of their forefathers by doing what they can to bring together in a union all the English-speaking races in the world. I state as a man loyal to Britain and to British institutions. I believe I know whereof I speak when I say no such service can be rendered to the people of Great Britain and of the whole world than to remove all chance of hostility between the two great branches of the English race. As a descendant of a loyalist, I say it would be a work to which any man might be proud to consecrate his life. It is the part of wisdom for us to do what we can to fulfil the object for which our forefathers sacrificed so much ; to bring together as a united people, if not under one Sovereign, at any rate in one alliance offensive and de- fensive, two great nations, which, to the misfortune of the world, have been severed and alienated. You may call this a dream — Cavour was called a dreamer when he hoped for a united Italy ; Bismarck was condemned as a visionary when he ..aw in the future a German Confed- eration. The English speaking people are not inferior to the Italians and Germans, when the real welfare of their race is at stake. In closing, he urged u^jon the Canadians to imitate the heroism of their ancestors, because the nation could never become great, unless some citizens were willing to sacrifice themselves for the general good, and Canada at the time needed such men. The Rev. D. V. Lucas, Montreal, then addressed the meeting as follows : Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen. — I esteem it a very great privilege indeed to be permitted to join with the distinguished statesman who has just addressed you, w !S 30 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. and with you all in doing honour to those worthy people who, one hundred years ago, landed upon the spot where we are now assembled, to lay in this Province the founda- tions of civilization. We are carried back in our thoughts to those days. Few of us know anything of the hard- ships through which these " pilgrim fathers " of Canada had to pass. Pushing one's way into a new country to- day, by means of our railways and other modern facilities is not what it was a century ago. However much we may admire their courage and forti- tude in braving the rigours of Canadian winters, and the difficulties of making homes for themselves and their posterity in the Canadian forests, we have met to-day more particularly to admire the spirit which brought them hither, and if possible to catch something of their devo- tion to principles which through the medium of the British Constitution, Heaven itself, in their estimation, had bestowed upon them. We go back in thought a little farther, to those days when the older Colonies of Britain on this continent, de- cided to dishonour the flag, under whose segis they had received all that is excellent in their present political sys- tem. I do not stop now to question the motives of those who excited the colonists to rebellion. It is enough for the present to say that, the men whom Canada delights to honour, regarded the course of the insurgents as a most unrighteous one, and rather than give it their consent and aid, chose to begin anew in this northern part of our great continent, where even amid cold and poverty and hardships of various kinds they might still live under the free flag of Britain, and enjoy the blessings of which that flag is the emblem. When we consider the present progress of our native land to which our honoured fathers directed their steps, and the excellence of our political institutions, and the grand future which is evidently before our beloved Do- minion, we feel that these noble men of a hundred years CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 81 ago, built " better than they knew." They honoured the Hag of England and the principles which that flag repre- sented, and we have met to honour them. I trust, Sir, that while we are less worthy than they, those who come after us will at least respect us for assembling on this, the first centennial anniversary, to do honour to those noble and devoted fathers of our Canadian Dominion. It might not be unprofitable, Mr. Chairman, to go still farther back and remind ourselves of the growth of lib- erty in England, and of the British Constitution. Some- how, more than among other nations of Europe, there seems to have been in the English Isle, from the earliest ages, an intense desire for liberty. The great Alfred had said that it was his desire that the people of England should be as free as the air they breathed. Through cen- turies, most of those wars, aside from those associated with the conquests, were simply a long struggle between the despotism of kings on the one hand, and the inherent love of liberty on the other. The constitution of England as we now know it, was of slow growth, but each century found it more in accord with the will of the people. The last great element of liberty may be said to have been introduced into the con- stitution when William III. and his queen signed the memorable Bill of Rights on their accession to the throne, after the abdication of James II. America had by this time been brought more fully to the notice of the people of the old world, and it was hoped that those grand prin- ciples, for which the English people had so long struggled, would find scope and development on this continent, such as might not be accorded them where there still lingered considerable sympathy with royal ambition and ecclesias- tical conservatism. Though it is hard to find excuse for the arbitrary spirit of George III. and his advisers, and a majority of his parliament, yet as has been clearly shown by Dr. Ryerson, the difficulty between the Home Govern- ment and the Colonies might have been adjusted without ^T5 32 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. secession on the part of the latter, and, as the same distin- guished writer has shown, would have been in harmony with the general wish of the Americans, if it had not been for a few ambitious leaders urging the people on to, as our fathers thought, an unjustifiable rebellion, and some- how we cannot divest our minds of the thought that our fathers were right. The long history of the struggle on the part of their ancestors for constitutional freedom was deeply engraven on their minds. They loved that history and were proud of it. Their fathers had fought to make the grand old flag of England the emblem of all that was good politi- cally. If it could have been shown that there was still lacking some element of pure constitutional liberty, they were willing to labour to secure it, but to tread both flag and constitution in the dust, looked to them not only as an insult to Him who had so helped their fathers, but an insult to the cherished memory of their fathers as well. Be that as it may, we rejoice when we remember their loyalty, not merely because we admire the principle itself, but because of the blessings which their loyalty has brought to us. Look at our widely-extended country, with its great fertility, its salubrious atmosphere, its broad acreage of arable land, its lofty mountains, magnificent rivers, rich minerals almost incalculable in extent, with its valuable forests and fisheries — a country almost as large as the whole of Europe — and remember that because of the de- votion and loyalty and self-sacrifice of those men whom we to-day commemm orate, all the principles of British constitutional liberty are ours by birthright. The British Constitution, modified in some of its de- tails to meet our colonial requirements, without in any sense changing any of its general principles, becomes to us the highest type of political freedom, and oflfers us the easiest political yoke borne by any people under Heaven. Talk of annexation to the United States. That is im- 1 CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 33 possible. The institutions of the two peoples are too diverse to admit of a political amalgamation. Our ideas of sovereignty differ so widely from those of our neigh- bours that we could never, even for one hour, consent to surrender the power which constitutes us the sovereign people. With our education and experience, politically, we never could give up our rights in this matter to the head of the nation and his chosen advisers. Talk of independence in the sense of separation from the old land ! This is quite as impossible with the Cana- dian people. For this is our pride and our boast, we are a part of the great British Empire. Like that angel which John saw standing in the sun, I see standing in the earth a mighty giant, made mighty by the King of Heaven. Upon his head are those wonderful and glorious British Isles, his feet resting on the golden sands of Australia ; his left arm, India, now being redeemed from the wheels of the Juggernaut and the superstitions of past ages ; his right arm, Canada, now being redeemed from the growl of the wild beast and the war whoop of the savage. When I think, sir, of the vast millions who may, and who surely will, yet dwell in our great dominion, all educated under the great influence of British political institutions, and lovers of the flag which to-day waves over us, and of those principles which that flag represents, I think of the future of this vast empire, exercising in the earth its in- fluence for the elevation of mankind, as the mighty power of God making itself felt through the instrumentality of human government. As Canadians, this is our boast, we are a part, and we hope no insignificant part, of the British Empire, and our prayer is that nothing may ever occur, to the end of time, to sever those ties which bind our favoured and happy country to the motherland. Our loyalty is too strong, and we trust our children's loyalty will be equally so, to ad- mit of any action which implies and involves dismember- ment of that mighty empire of which we are justly proud. i^T; 34 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. * THE SECOND DAY. Adolphustown, June 17. — The second day of the U. E. Loyalist celebration was marked by fine \/eather and a very large attendance of visitors. All the steamers ply- ing on the Bay of Quintd brought crowds of people. The first event this morning, though not down as a part of the celebration under the auspices of the Committee, was an interesting and important one, no less than the laying of the corner-stone of the Memorial Church by Lieutenant- Governor Robinson. The Rev. R. S. Forneri, B.A., Pastor of the Anglican Church, here, has since he took this chargre worked earnestly in promoting this objef^t, and the present celebration gave him the best opportunity of having the work of the actual building inaugurated with becoming ceremonies. The Lieutenant-Governor arrived from Napanee this morning by private yacht, about eleven o'clock. He was met at the wharf by a guard of honour of the 15th Bat- talion, Argyle Light Infantry, under command of Adjt.- Captain T. C. Lazier, and conducted to St. Paul's Church, the present Anglican Church of Adolphustown. Rev. R. S. Forneri, rector of Adolphustown, has every reason to feel gratified by the marked success attending his indefatigable efforts to bring this enterprise to a suc- cessful issue. The new church edifice, which has been named St. Albans, is to be a handsome structure of the modern Gothic style, capable of seating about 250 people. It will have a neat bell tower seventy-two feet high. The main entrance will be at the side of the building, and will have an open porch with doors of iron work. The nave is 32 M 50 feet and the chancel 26 m 24 feet. The interior is to be decorated with a number of memorial tablets to leading members of tho pioneer band who landed on the shores of Quintd 100 years ago. The site is one of the most commanding along the bay front and was liberally donated for the purpose by J. J. Watson, Esq. After a short service at the church by the Archdeacon, the pro- CENTENNx •• CELEBRATION. 35 le le. le 111 ^e ■ )r le [y a ccHHion was re-formed, ami Hinging an appropriate hymn marched to the site of the new edifice. The ceremony throughout was most impressive, tlie Ven. Archdeacon leading and the people joining heartily in the responses. At the proper time a beautiful silver trowel, suitably en- graved, was handed to the Lieutenant-Governor, with which he laid on the cement, saying : " Wo lay this stone of foundation to the honour and glory of God, and in memory of the United Empire Loyalists, who one hundred years ago laid the corner-stone of o»ir Province in peace and righte- ousness and in loyalty to the British Crown and Empire." Among the clergymen present were the following : — Dean Lyster, of St. George's Cathedral, Kingston ; Rural Dean Kirkpatrick, of Kingston ; Rev. J. W. Barke, of Belleville ; Revs. C. E. Cartwright, of Kingston ; Cook, Kingston ; R. S. Forneri, Incumbent of Adolphustown ; Rural Dean Baker, Tyendinaga ; Rev. Mr. Cook, Oshawa ; Revs. Carey, Roberts, Stanton, D. F. Bogert, and Thomp- son. The Lieutenant-Governor was presented with an ad- dress which was gorgeously illuminated, and of which the following is a copy : To His Honour John Beverley Robinson, Lieut.-Oover- nor of the Province of Ontario. May it please tour Honour — On behalf the Rector and members of the Church of England in the Parish of Adolphustown and Fredericks- burg, and sundry other persons interested in commemo- rating the important historical event of the arrival there of British subjects known as United Empire Loyalists, by the erection of a new church near the spot on which landed the " worthy band of refugees " in 1784, this ad- dress is respectfully presented. Most cordially and gratefully we bid your Honour wel- come to Adolphustown on this occasion, when after the lapse of one hundred years, we would raise a sacred edi- 3^5 36 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALSITS. fice in memory of many brave men, who not only sacri- ficed everything in obedience to the divine command, " Honour the King," but who were equally ready to re- cognize the paramount duty to " Fear God." The U. E. Loyalists were, we believe, religious as well as loyal men, and wherever they settled in Canada they laid the foundation not alone of patriotism but also of piety. Therefore we, their descendants and de- voted admirers, have deemed the erection of a house OF PRAYER a significant and appropriate memorial embody- ing these two great principles, which the sons of the ancient Church of England have been ever foremost and steadfast in upholding — principles we would endeavour to inculcate in our children, and transmit to future gene- rations in this country, viz. : that along with the duty we owe to ourselves in maintaining civil and religious freedom, we are no less bound to be faithful in discharg- ing what is due by loy al men to their Sovereign, and by Christian men to their God. It is an auspicious coincidence that on this day, 17th June, the Church of England commemorates in her calen- dar England's Proto-Martyr, St. Alban, the first man who on Britsh soil sealed with his life-blood his testimony as a loyal subject of his Heavenly King, our Lord Jesus Christ. May his name, under which the memorial church is to be dedicated to God^ ever unite our affections to the dear old mother land, and inspire us all to follow the example of one who held not his life dear for the cause of Christ. Animated by such sentiments, we have undertaken this pious work, which, we rejoice to know, has received the warm approval of your Honour as Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, and as yourself, an illustrious member of a famous U. E. L. family. We have asked you, Sir, to put to it the first hand in laying the corner stone, and we tender our very grateful acknowledgements for your kind compliance with our request. We beg to assure you that it is to us a matter of the most lively satisfaction and congratulation that the Chief Magistrate of our Province CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 37 of Ontario, representing Her Gracious Majesty, should honour us with his presence and co-operation on tliis occa- sion. For in whatever other respects we may have de- geneiated from the noble U. E. Loyalists of 1784, we may fain hope we i^ay justly claim to be their rivals in firm attachment both to the throne u: "er which it is our happiness to live, and to that great ..ipire of which we fervently pray that the Dominion of Canada may long constitute an integral portion. As we conclude this address, we cannot forget the . zt that the honour of being a descendant of U. E. Loj^alists is shared by your own gracious and accomplished lady, a daughter of the distinguished house of Hagerman, and we venture to join her name with that of your Honour as we most sincerely wish you both the enjoyment of many years of happiness and prosperity in your public and private life. Signed on behalf of the General and Local Building Committee, Richard Sykes Forneri, Rector of Adolphustown. T. Bedford- Jones, LL.D., Archdeacon, Chairman of Cow,mittee. Adolphustown, June I7th, 1884. The Lieut-Governor replied briefly, expressing his cordial thanks to the clergy and building committee for their invitation to take part in the proceedings of this memorable occasion, and re-echoing all the sentiments contained in the address. Brief speeches were made by a number of the clergy, that of Dean Lyster being par- ticularly appropriate. The ceremony completed, the Lieut.-Governor and a large party were invited to the residence of J. J. Watson, Esq., where luach was served. '' • ! ' 'if \\ i 38 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS The Lieut. -Governor paid a visit to the camp of the 15th Battalion, and was right royally entertained at the officers' mess. Chief Sampson Green was the first intro- duced to deliver an address, on " The Union of the Six Nations." He appeared in full Indian costume and was accompanied by other members of his band in full war paint and feathers. He first expressed the great pleasure it afibi'ded him to take part in this important gathering, in honour of that patiotic and heroic band of refugees, who freely gave up their all as a sacrifice to their loyalty. He reviewed the traditional history of the Indians of America and especially of the Six Nations, of which he is a representative. He claimed that the Indians are the original Americans, and he felt proud of being a descen- dant of the aboriginal inhabitant of this continent. He also felt a pride in the fact that, in the day of trial, when the majority rebelled against British rule, his people re- mained firm in their allegiance, and fought, bled and died beside the pale face in defence of the Union Jack, to up- hold its sway on this continent. He explained how the Six Nations came into existence by an alliance of six smaller tribes against the oppression of the doughty, powerful and bloodthirsty Iroquois. He explained their system of government, by which all legislation originated with the Mohawks; after being approved it was then sent to another tribe and considered, adopted or amended as the case might be, until at last it reached Onondagas, or firekeepers, but the Mohawks were possessed of the power of veto. The Onondagas were called the fire- keepers because they always started the fire at the Great Council, kept it burning, and finally extinguished it when the Council was completed. At the present day, instead of lighting and extinguishing the fire, they make the opening and closing speeches. Finally the Iroquois themselves sued for admittance to the confederation, but their application was rejected. The tribe to which he belonged came from the Mohawk flats, remained at CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 89 n Lachine a short time and then came on to Tyehdinaga, which spot was selected by (Captain John. The reserve was named a^ter the great Chief Tyendinaga, who led the Mohawks to Canada. When Christianity was proposed to the Six Nations it was considered, and four accepted, but two rejected the Christian faith, and to this day two of the tribes are Pagans. Although these tribes are Pagans, they may be fairly termed religious. They be- lieve in the existence of a Supreme Being, but instead of worshipping God in solemn exercises, they return thanks to the Great Spirit for pure water, an abundance of berries, the full corn in the ear, and all the blessings of peace and plenty, by dancing and other rejoicings. Their religion does not permit of stealing or lying, but they have no scruples in regard to Sunday work. He stated his conviction that the only way in which these tribes could be Christianized would be first to educate them and then place the Bible in their hands. What they can read they will accep^., but what is told them by missionaries is received with diffidence or suspicion. He again referred to the loyalty of the Indians on many occasions when their adherence was severely tested. In 1812 many of the Indians fought with the British troops, and in 1837 the speaker's father went to the front with his band, and returned with one scalp which was erected on a staff opposite the church, and a tree planted in honour of the event which is to be seen to this day. In 18G6, with 17 others, the speaker went to the front to assist in driving back the Fenian invaders, and in the future, as in the past, he was assured that his band would bo found ever faithful to thfc; old flag, and ever ready to shed their blood in its defence. The Mohawks, when they landed, con- sisted of fifteen families ; they now number over 1,000 souls. They at first owned the whole township of Tyen- dinaga, but they had sold a portion, and the money, Jiill27,000, is invested with the government to provide schools and religious instructors. They have now four good 1 ■■\ 1 h » 4 m •1 40 UNITED EMPIBE LOYALISTS. schools and two churches. He thanked the committee for the invitation to participate in this gathering, which he considered a great honour to himself and his people. The next speaker was Capt. Gkace of Lindsay. He said, Me. Pkesident, Ladies and Gentlemen, — It is rather a matter of good fortune for me that the Lieut.-Governor is not here at present, and thus an opportunity is afforded me of expressing to you all my feelings, which I think are those of all gathered here, and in this my endeavour I crave your indulgence. The deeds which were the first causes of this settlement about us were those of men to whom principles and loyalty were nature's inspiration ; were men, who to us have shown examples worthy of imitation ; were men who by the sacrifice of home com- forts and luxuries have leiu ctieir images of force of will and self denial. This morning's ceremony was a matter of gratification to all, and to us it was a bounden duty to commemorate the memory of those dear ones of old, with fitting tribute as far as the outward world is concerned; but one cannot help thinking of those brave men, who, one hundred years ago, landed here to the right, leaving happy homes, wealth and comforts, to seek out a new home for themselves in nature's forest, apart from monu- ments of stone and mortar, and appreciating them by those feelings which emanate from the inspiration oT our mothers, and we cannot help thinking of those good old men ofl yore, as Shakespeare did when he sug- gested by words, which in substance meant the folly of endeavouring to commemorate intrinsic worth in stone and mortar. Our country, a rich branch of the mother tree which springs from the Atlantic and casts her sha- dows to all quarters of the globe, it should be our bounden duty to sustain in proper relation to that mother tree, defending her interests by all in our power, which defence is but what we owe. It was with pleasure I listened to the various speeches of yesterday, and however dampened the love of our CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 41 country might have been by the suggestion of one speaker, that dampening must have been removed by the next speaker, who in feeling terms related the story of the good old woman who said " We shall go and leave everything, and go to that country where we can breathe easily beneath that flag which is floating on our left." And as often as any defence of the country has been required, so often have the good men of the U. E. Loyal- ist blood and connection been ready and shared their parts, and it is no small pleasure for me to be the great grandson of the man who had the first Militia Battalion along these shores, and that zeal and that ardour, which seem at least intuitive, have not yet died out, as the young man who is now addressing you has the honour of a Captain's Commission in the Militia at present. It is an extreme satisfaction to me to be able to under- go a trip of even a hundred miles to meet so many friends, all of whom must necessarily feel the common tie which links us all ; and before closing, I must to Dr. Canniff", express my feeling of thankfulness and sym- pathy for his untiring efforts in the U. E. Loyalist cause. I am sure it was not without a very great deal of trouble he wrote his book, in which are pictured many proper examples for the youngest of us to bear well in mind. And now Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, being under an obligation to j^ou for your indulgence I beg to retire. Mr. G. E. Henderson, Q. C, Belleville, County Crown Attorney, said that while they must not forget men who had come from over the sea and their descendants, surely they had the right to honour the memory of their Loyalist fathers. These men had chosen a magnificent country, and had put its prosperity upon a grand foundation. He had had the opportunity of viewing the greater part of Europe, and he could assure them that nowhere was there a grander country than this. This Bay of Quints was as beautiful a sheet of water as any of the c 1:1 1 1 42 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. famed lakes of Switzerland. Canadians had a right to be proud of their land, and by no other means than by lov- ing it and honouring it could they make it a great coun- try. Without patriotism people were a mere collection of individuals, but if joined by a common bond of love of country, they became an irresistible power. Here every man was free ; here every man has the opportunity to carry on the great responsibilities that rested upon him in building up this country. They did not want to be joined to the United States. Canadians were anxious to live at peace with them. Glad of their successes and proud of their advance, but Canadians could show a coun- try whose prosperity was greater than that of the States. They had here a magnificent country, with schools and every advantage and luxury. In Europe he found people called farmers who worked day and night for their lords, who lived in walled cities. They lacked in education and almost every form of enlightenment, and he himself had seen women harnessed along with cows drawing a load on the public highway near Rome. He advised them to remain loyal to this grand country, and to the Empire under whose fostering care it had grown to its present state. Mr. J. S. McCuAiG, ex-M.P. for Prince Edward County, congratulated the people upon the large assembly, and made a brief speech dwelling upon the great work which the Loyalists had accomplished. Mr. Parker Allen dwelt upon the hardships suffered by the U. E. Loyalists as contrasted with the comfort en- joyed by the people he represented. It was necessary that the Committee should have money to proceed with the monument, and he asked that liberal subscriptions be given. The Rev. C. E. Thomson, M. A., Incumbent of St. Mark's Church, Carlton West, added a few words. He said in substance, that it gave him great pleasure, as the grandson of William Ruttan, one of the U. E. Loyalist CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 48 to be y lov- coun- ion of ove of every lity to )n him ) to be ious to es and X coun- States. ,ols and I people iv lords, ion and jelf bad r a load tbeni to Empire present County, bly, and wbich [suffered ifort en- lecessary ied with ^tions be of St. fds. He as the [Loyalist settlers in Adolphustown, to be here on this occasion, and to help in doing honour to the memory of these noble men. He could not say much beyond what had been al- ready said, but would exhort them to be true to the tra- ditions of their forefathers, and to maintain, unuroken, their connection with the great and glorious empire for whose integrity their ancestors had so greatly suffered. He would remind them that nn this day they were pass- ing through the anniversary of that great final struggle, whereby, on the field of Waterloo, the valour and endur- ance of the British army were so gloriously shown. Surely to have a share in such a magnificent achievement as this ought to make us most highly value the privilege of being British subjects. The time for speaking was short and he would now call on them to welcome him who was about to address them — himself a Canadian born — the grandson of a United Empire Loyalist, the son of one whom Canada was proud to number among her brilliant array of lawyers and judges, and the husband of a lady whose grandfather shared in the privations and toils of the first settlers in this very neighbourhood — a gentleman, who had come here as the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province to do honour to their celebration, to join with them in paying respect to the Loyalists of 1784 and to inaugurate the erection of well deserved monuments to their memory. LiEUT.-GovERNOR EoBiNSON having arrived, was now [introduced. He expressed regret at the delay that had oc- jcurred, but claimed that he was hardly responsible as the (hospitality of the clergy and citizens, and afterward that fof the militia had prevented him from appearing sooner. -|He considered it a duty for the Lieut.-Governor to show )n every occasion his appreciation of the volunteer mili- and acknowledge the great things they had done for knada. In 1776 when the militia was 'tampered with ?y stood staunch to the old flag. In 1812 they had m equally brave in manifesting their allegiance, and on 1 44 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. } other occasions they had given proof of their valour and loyalty, and it was therefore a plain duty he should ex- press his appreciation of their organization and their services. While he was pleased to meet and receive the hospitality of the militia, he was equally well pleased to meet such a large gathering on an occasion so important to all Canadians. An American once discussing the various forms of government claimed that th^ Canadian was the best in existence, for while the people paid all the expenses the Governor had all the fun. Part of his fun was to re- coive the hospitalities of to-day, to see so many good look- ing ladies and gentlemen, and to know they were all intent on one laudable purpose — d(jing honour to the memory of those who had suffered everything for their loyalty. Up to a certain point the acts of the English Government in reference to the thirteen colonies were oppressive. U. E. Loyalists did not uphold that oppression, but when it came to revolt, and they saw something more than redress of the grievances was to be demanded, they, through years of war, showed heroism and devotion to their convictions seldom equalled in the history of any country. He recog- nised old names, having heard them from his youth. They were the names first known here by the arrival of the heroic band who landed on this point one hundred years ago. If we had a grand country we owed it to them. He had heard the question discussed as to whether, the time has come when our political status should be changed; it was not for him, as Lieut. -Governor, to dis- cuss these matters, but he would say to Loyalists that while others, be they gentlemen of the press or politicians, discuss that question — the descendants of Loyalists can afford, knowing what they knew of old times, to mark time and listen to the discussions. They must recollect that if the medicine is given hurriedly, the physician must take good care that the death of the patient does not follow. He hoped that the young people would mark this day, and that when fifty, or sixty, or seventy years CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 45 hence they went over metnory's records, they would think that this great celebration took place in the regime of Governor Robinson. Knowing the blessings we have re- ceived under the British Constitution we can afford to remain some time longer at any rate without changing our position. He regretted that he had not before visited the lovely scenes through which he passed to-day. He regretted that he had not before had the opportunity of making the acquaintance of the people of this district, but he hoped this would not be his last visit. He hoped they would make this day a grand and permanent suc- cess. He hoped they would testify in a substantial way their regard for the Loyalists by subscribing liberally to the monument to be raised to their memory. Mr. D. W. Allison, M.P., though suffering from tempo- rary illness, consented, at the earnest request of many, to address the meeting. He dwelt with feeling on the scene which this point had witnessed a hundred years ago yes- terday, when the pilgrim band of Loyalists landed at the outskirts of an unbroken wilderness, which Ontario was, and contrasted that with the scene of life and luxury which the place presented to-day. He dwelt also upon the strong contrast between the condition of the Loyalists and of their descendants of to-day. The first were vic- tims of persecution, leaving all for the sake of their loyalty to their country and to duty, braving hardships and pri- vations that they might have the flag they loved float over them. Their descendants possess the land which they had redeemed from the encumbering forests, and in that land peace and plenty reigned, so that even the poor- est enjoy advantages which the best of their fore- fathers could not hope to secure. The colonists of these days, instead of coming in the face of all hardships, had colonial roads and railways provided in advance of them Sin the wilderness. The first apples grown here were from [Seed brought over by the first party when they came. When the first crop was ripe the man who grew them called all T 46 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. I? i li the people of the settlement — men, women and children — together, and the apples were shared equally. Had that been in this day, th(i man who had the apples would have been governed by the law of supply and demand, and would have sold the apples to his neighbours at the high- est price. It had been stated that there was settlement at Kingston before here, but those people did not leave the States till after Independence was declared, and the date given for the Kingston settlement was too early for that. He contended this was the first settlement, and that the first line of this township of Adolphustown was the first line ever run by a surveyor in Ontario. He closed by expressing pleasure at the large turn out to do honour to the memory of Loyalists. Mr. J. J. Watson, Secretary of the Celebration Com- mittee read a letter of regret from the Hon. G. A. Kirk- patrick, Mr. A. F. Wood, M. P.P., and others, who had ex- pected to be present, but were unable to do so. He ex- plained also Sir John Macdonald's absence by stating that he had a letter from the Premier stating that owing to ill health and press of work at home he would be unable to attend. This concluded the afternoon proceedings. THIRD AND CLOSING DAY. The main feature of to-day's proceedings were speeches under the shade of the trees, and over the graves where the U. E. Loyalists lie buried. Mr. D. W, Allison, M.P., first occupied the chair, but he afterwards gave place to Mr. Parker Allen. Both are Vice-Presidents of the Celebration Association, but Mr. Allison claimed priority for Mr. Allen. The principal speaker of the day was Dr. J. H. Sangster, of Port Perry. Dr. Sangster followed in the footsteps of the former speakers in contrasting the prosperity and com- fort of to-day with what the Loyalists found when they landed, and what they obtained for years after. He ela berated the idea far more, however, and caused not a lit- CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 47 tie amuseTKentby going into the details of daily life, con- trasting, for instance, the young lady of to-day at her o^^an or piano, with her grandmother whose humble art was contined to the music of the wash-boarx .. He drew a brilliant picture of the future of Canada, the result of her mighty extent of fertile soils. The aristocracy of Eng- land proudly traced their lineage back to the uncultured invaders who came with William of Normandy. Much more proudly could the descendants of the Loyalists boast of their arjcestry. He recognized the fact that Canada would some day be independent ; but separation from the mother country could not come except in the natural way without straining or undue haste. Canada had not only a soil- bracing climate, but God-fearing earnest men and women, and he urged all Canadians to do what they could to make the future of the country commensurate with its possibilities. Above all, he spoke to the de- scendants of the Loyalists to show their zeal in Canada's cause. He called upon them because there was an intel- ligent pride of birth, of ancestry, which ennobled those who were moved by it and had a mission to promote the arts of peace, and to give to the world the highest stand- ard of national honour. He recognized the difficulties in the way, and the most pressing and important of these was the bitterness of party spirit. He urged upon the politicians of both parties to devote more attention to national, and less to party advantages. Mr. Wm. Anderson, Warden of Prince Edward county, was then -ailed upon. He stated that some of those who were here yesterday found fault with the carrying out of the arrangements. He thought that the committee had done all that men could do, and they deserved the thanks of the community for having given so many the opportunity to celebrate the noble deeds of the U. E. Loyalists. He com- mended the people here for having begun these cere- monies by the laying of the corner-stone of the church. He did not agree with Dr. Sangster in the fear that party !1 ifT 48 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. rancour would ultimately wreck the ship of State. He believed very strongly that party feeling was less bitter now than it formerly was, and with the ameliorating Christian influences everywhere at work this improve- ment must continue. He dwelt upon the great work begun by the Loyalists, and contended that the Dominion, which they had founded, was the first country in the world to- day. An American speaking with him had boasted of the fact that the States had gained their independence, that they were free, but their liberty was based upon the prin- ciples recognized in Britain, the benefit of which the peo- ple in Canada enjoyed, and their system of government, like that of Canada, was almost a copy of the British form. Mr. Robt. Clapp, of Prince Edward county, spoke on behalf of that county, assuring the people of Adolphus- town that they had the sympathy of all in their com- memoration of the U. E. Loyalist centenary. Mr. J. J. Watson, secretary of the committee, presented an excuse from Mr. W. A. Reeve, Toronto, who was to have addressed the meeting. The people soon after began to leave the grounds, and the Adolphustown U. E. Loyalist Centennial Celebration was over. CENTEMIAL CELEBRATION AT TOie,01TTO 3rd July, 1H«4, (Mi COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT.

In land or possessions, or secure an immunity from persecu- tion and ill-treatment by the abandonment of their princi- ples, tliey determined upon that grand exodus which we commemorate this day, and manfully set their faces to- ward the wilds of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Canada, to become the first founders of what is yet, thank God, an integral part of the Empire, the fairest jewel in Britain's Crown. The history of the cruel persecution and unjust legislation of which the loyalists were made the subjects in most of the States of the American Union after the close of the struggle and the establishment of the Republic, were it only more generally known, would as- tonish those even among our own countrymen who have so much admiration to bestow upon the successful revolu- tionists, and but little sympathy for the heroism and endurance of those who remained faithful to the cause, as they believed it to be, of loyalty and honour. Undoubt- edly the revolution, owing to the bitter animosities engendered by the struggle, frequently led to cruel repri- sals and deeds of bloodshed on both sides ; but that could not justify the cruelty and persecution with which hun- dreds were visited who had taken no active part in the strife, or the expatriation of the many thousands whose only crime had been their refusal to renounce their alle- giance to their king. In a work called " Loyalists of America and their Times," written by that distinguished man, the late Rev. Egerton Ryerson, himself the son of a U. E. Loyalist, there occurs the following passage : — " At the close of the war, instead of witnessing, as in the case of all other civilized nations at the termination of a civil war, however rancorous and cruel, a general amnesty, and the restoration of all parties to the rights and property which they enjoyed at the commencement of the strife, the Loyalists found themselves exiled and impoverished, and their enemies in possession of their homes and do- mains. It is true about three thousand of the Loyalists were able to employ agents, or appear personally to apply CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 57 of a -"At case civil and )erty strife, Ished, do- [alists tpply to the Eno-lish Government and Parliament for compen- sation for their losses and suffering in maintaining their fidelity to the Mother Country ; but these three thousand constituted not one-tenth of the Loyalists who had suf- fered losses and hardships during the civil war. U[)ward3 of thirty thousand of them were driven from the home of their birth into wliat was then an almost untrodden wil- derness." Of the.^e latter who found their way to Upper Canada and the sister provinces, many had fought stoutly for the royal cause all through the war, and many were the hairbreafith escapes, many the hardships they endured before they reached British ground in safety. Others had taken no active part in the contest, but were proscribed and banished becf 's^ th^'" sympathies were known to have been with the lo- g side. Others there were who, while the struixorle lasted, had taken what they considered the side of duty and loyalty, but when hostilities were over and England had recognized the Independence of the States, were prepared to submit to the inevitable, and take their place as citizens of the Republic. But the cruel and vindictive treatment to which they were sub- jected, and the penal legislation enacted against them, drove them forth also to swell the ranks of those who were to become the founders of a lo3^al British American Confederation, side by side with the Republic which had cast them out. The hardships which the Loyalists en- dured in making their way to Canada, and the suffering and privations experienced by many of them for years after their first settlement in the country, were far more severe than anything exj^erieneed by the Pilgrim Fathers during the first years of their settlement in Massachu- setts. From whatever point they came, long and weary was the journey which the refugees had' to perform before they reached British territory. The majority of them travelled on foot ; others who were better off carried their little effects and young children on pack-horses, some- times bringing their cattle with them. Many bands made D ,1- i fii ir 68 UNFTED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. , f . r ii 11 their way to Canada by Whitehall, Lake Champlain, Ti- conderoga, and Plattsburg, and then, turning southward, proceeded to Cornwall, thence ascending the St. Law- rence, along the north shore of which many of them settled. Some among the earliest of the refugees had sailed round the coast of New Brunswick and Nova Sco- tia, and up the St. Lawrence to Sorel, wintering there, and the following spring prosecuting their voyage in boats, until they reached their destination at Kingston, then called Cataraqui. But the most common route from New York and that part of the States taken by the Loyalists was on the Hudson River to Albany, then up a branch of the Hudson called the Mohawk, and by a branch of that river, called Wood creek, to Oneida lake, and from Oneida lake to Lake Ontario by the Oswego River. Flat-bottomed boats, built or purchased by the Loyalists for the purpose, were used for their journey, and some idea may be formed of the arduous nature of that journey when we remember that the boats themselves had to be hauled and all their contents carried over the various portages, which are stated to have amounted altogether, on the whole journey, to more than thirty miles in extent. From Os- wego some of the Loyalists coasted along the eastern shore of Lake Ontario to Kingston, and then up the Bay of Qumtd ; others went westward along the south shore of the lake to Niagara and Queenston ; some pursued their course to the head of the lake at Burlington ; others made their way up the Niagara river to Queenston, con- veyed their boats over the portage of 10 or 12 miles to Chippewa, thence up the river and into lake Erie, and settled in what was called the Long Point country, now the County of Norfolk. As you all know, in order to re- ward the loyalty and to relieve the present necessities of» the Loyalists and their families, as well as to provide for their future subsistence, the British Government made liberal grants of land in Upper Canada. The Bay of Quints was, I believe, among the first to be surveyed and if CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 59 settled, and the settlement of what was then called the Midland District commenced in the summer of 178j. The new settlers were provided with farming implements, building materials, and provisions, and some clothing for the tirst two years. And to quote from Dr. Ryerson's admirable work again — " In order to put a mark of honour, as the Order in Council expressed, ' upon the families who had adhered to the unity of the Empire, and joined the Royal standard in America before the treaty of separation in 1783/ a list of such persons was directed in 1789 to be made out and returned, to the end that their posterity might be discriminated from future settlers. From these emphatic words, the Unity of the Empire, it was styled the United Empire List, and they whose names were entered upon it were distinguished as United Empire Loyalists." And now one hundred years have passed away since that honour roll was drawn up — the Loyalists of that day have passed to their rest, but far and wide throughout the Dominion their descendants may still be found glorying in the name and the traditions they have inherited, and by our gathering here to-day we desire to show that, as did our fathers in those days of old — so do we desire to preserve the unity of the Empire, and shall ever honour the memory of those who cheer- fully risked every worldly gain or advantage, aye, even life and liberty, to preserve unbroken the ties which bound them to the Motherland. Nor can we forget, on an occasion like the present, how nobly the old Loyalist spirit showed itself when Canada subsequently became the battlefield during the war between Great Britain and the United States. Tt has been well remarked that the .true spirit of the Loyalists of America was never shown with greater force than in the conduct of their descen- dants during the war of 1812-14. As their fathers willingly risked life and fortune to maintain their con- nection with the Empire, so the sons were ready at the first trumpet call to leave wives and little ones' come ^|) 'i II 60 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. forth from their homesteads, and acquit themselves like men in resisting the invaders who strove to wrest their adopted country from the British Crown. Sir, it is a just subject of pride to us Canadians that, thanks to the loyalty and the pluck of the militia and volunteers of those days, without distinction of class or nationality, the Canadas, with a frontier of more than 1,000 miles, and aided only by a few regiments of regular soldiers, resisted the whole military power of the United States for two years, at the end of which not one inch of Canadian soil was in possession of the invaders. Behind us hangs a flag [here the speaker turned and pointed to it] which I thought would not be an uninteresting relic to be dis- played on the present occasion. That flag was presented by the ladies of York in 1813 to the third regiment of York Militia. In some old manuscripts now deposited in the library of the Dominion Parliament, called the Coventry papers, and relating to the early history of Canada, and especially to the war of 1812, there is con- tained an account of the presentation of this flag, on be- half of the ladies of York, by Miss Powell, daughter of Chief Justice Powell, its consecration by Dr. Strachan, afterwards so well known as the venerable Bishop of Toronto, the reception of the colours by Major Allan, commanding the regiment on that day, and who after- wards became its colonel, and the committal of the colours to the charge of Ensigns Charles Denison and Edward Thompson. The records of those days show what good service the flank companies of this regiment did at the capture of Detroit and the glorious battle of Queenston Heights. And the old chronicler in the papers I have referred to goes on to speak of "the devotion and gallantry of those who had been so lately called away from the enjoyment of every peaceful blessing to defend their property and rights, and the safety and glory of this highly favoured portion of the British Empire." Mr. Chairman, I am persuaded that the same spirit that ■hW CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 61 !on- be- of (an, of an, er- rs rd od he on ve Ind ay d of r. at characterized the Canadian militiamen and volunteers in 1812 and the Loyalists of 1784, breathes in their descen- dants now, and that my countrymen would be ready and prepared now, as then, if occasion should unhappily lequire, to defend not ordy " their rights and property," but the " safety and glory of this Dominion, as one of the most highly favoured portions of the British Empire." True, we do find a certain class of writers in our midst attempt- ing to decry loyalty to the Crown and attachment to Im- perial connection as inconsistent with true patriotism and pride in our country as Canadians. I yield to no one in my love for my native country. The very soil of Canada is dear to me. 1 love her lakes and forests, her mighty rivers, her broad and fertile fields. I am proud of the past history of my country, of the wonderful pro- gress it has made not only in material prosperity, but in all that contributes to the higher life ot a nation ; its ad- vancement in education and culture, the fitness our peo- ple have displayed for free and constitutional government, and that observance of law and order which is the noblest characteristic of the Anglo-Saxon race. But all this is entirely consistent with a deep and abiding love and attachment to the Motherland, whose glorious traditions we inherit, and which are the common property ot every subject of the empire. Is there anything servile or unpatriotic in the feeling which makes the pulse beat more quickly and the heart swell, as we recall the glorious deeds of Britain's heroes on land and sea — whether in the old days of Wellington and Nelson, Waterloo and the Nile, or, coming down to our time, to Balaklava or Inker- man ; or but yesterda)^ as we read of the rush of the Highlanders upon the foe at Tel-El-Kebir ? Is there anything servile or unpatriotic in that feeling of rever- ence and aftection for all that is great and noble in the lives and characters and works of the long array of states- men, philosophers and poets, of men of mark in Church and State, that have made Britain's history the proud and i\ t 62 ITNITKD EMPIRE LOYALISTS. ih wilderness!

Kingston, Ont. The Chairman then announced that Judge Dean, of Lindsay, who was to have delivered an address, wns un- able to be present. His place would be taken by Chief Green, one of the descendants of the well-known warrior ^y^ Brant — who had fought .side by side with the U. E. Loy- alists who came into the wilderness a hundred years ago. Chief Green, a Mohawk Indian of Tyendinaga, then came forward, and was received with loud applause. He said it gave him great pleasure to meet there the descen dants of the U. E. Loyalists, assembled to commemorate one of the greatest events in the history of the country. The old Loyalists had chosen to sacrifice everything in a country where they were prospering, and came out to the Canadian wilderness rather than be untrue to their king. He felt that they had chosen in favour of the right. There was a time when the whole continent of North America was occupied by the race he represented. They often fought among themselves. One day a very wise bead among the Mohawks suggested a scheme for the consolidation of several tribes for mutual protection — a scheme which was adopted, and led to the organization of the Six Nation Indians, whom he now represented. In the course of time England and his nation made a treaty, which his tribes had since loyally observed. In fact, when the rebellion took place, his nation rernoved from New York State, and sacrificed their territory, in order to accompany their white Loyalist brethren to this country, '^hey did more than this; for they took up arms and tought and died for England. The United States gained their independence, but his forefathers re- • * j \i C^(i UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. mained under British connection. The Six Nation Indi- ans were all Christians, belonging to the Church of Eng- land, which they loved. They formed a settlement on the shores of the Bay of Quint^, and built a church there. He here remarked that a communion service on the plat- form had been presented to his forefathers by Queen Anne. He proceeded to say that of late years his people had made much progress in civilization and Christianity. They had to-day two churches, one of which had cost S7,000, and the other $3,500. They had four good schools in the reservation, and two white lady teachers. In 1871^ he went to England and made an appeal to the people there on behalf of one of the schools. He succeeded in his mission, and found the English the kindest people under the sun. He found them as his forefathers had represented them to be — ladies and gentlemen of the first rank. He obtained a grant in England to carry on the work for twenty years. He was proud to be there to associate with the descendants of the U. E. Loyalists, even as his forefathers had associated with their forefathers. He believed Canada ranked with any nation on the globe acccording to its age. Mr. Warrington then sang in splendid style the well- known patriotic song, " If England to Herself be Ti ue," and in answer to an enthusiastic encore, sang " Who's for the Queen ? " with equal spirit. The Chairman here exhibited the Communion set pre- sented to the Mohawk Indians in 1711. During the re- bellion the Indians buried them to preserve them, and dug them up again after the war. He then, in introducing Lieu- tenant-Colonel G. T. Denison, said the Denison family in old times had done good service on the borders. In the war of 1812 and 1837 they were found at their post of duty. They took an active part in securing the country to the Canadians. The Denison family were not only soldiers, but descendants of the U. E. Loyalists, and the United States lost a good de5.1 when they lost this famliy. CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 07 r- B. LiEUTENANT-CoLONEL George T. Denj>;on said — Mr. Chairman, ladies, and gentlemen, we meet to-day in honour of the U. E* Loyalists who a hundred years ago came here and founded this province. Their coming was the result of their loyal adherence to a great principle. It was not so much a question of what is called loyalty as devotion to a particular type of government. The great question fought out in the United States, in 1776, was whether they should be ruled by a republic or a monarchy, and when the U. E. Loyalists were defeated in the States they came here, and established this province upon monarchical institutions. Tn 1812, an attempt was made to annex this country by" the people of the United States, and to make us a republican people. This was a re- petition of the struggle between the two forms of govern- ment. At that time Upper Canada was a sparsely settled community, and we had about 80,000 of a population, al- most altogether consisting of U. E. Loyalists and their de- scendants, while the United Sates had a population of something like ten millions. The odds were enormous, in- finitely greater than they would be to-day. Fortunately we had at that time the right kind of a man at the head of affairs, General Brock. He was one of the great men of all history. He called together the volunteers of this city, told them what they would have to encounter ; told them what odds were against them, and asked them to follow him to the front. Every one of them responded. Invasion followed invasion, and although the odds were always against us, the fortune of war was with us. Of the vic- tories over the invaders we all know. At the end of the fight we had not lost a single inch of Canadian territory while we had the State of Michigan, and had burned the capital city of our ensmies. This was the lesson we should teach our children, and keep it evti freshly remembered as a ground of hope for us, to give us confidence in the future. The U. E. Loyalists deserved the greatest credit for the h 'I 1^ i W h 'I i' •: ■I i 68 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. gallant stand they made in 1776 for monarchical in- stitutions, but they deserve ten thousand times more credit because, when the odds were against them, they maintained their rights, and handed them down unim- paired to us. The people of Canada live in the freest coun- try on the face of the globe, and must appreciate what the U. E. Loyalists have done for them in preserving it for tlieir descendants. Let us compare the position of Canada to-day with that of the United States. We have every liberty to do what is right, but we have no license to do what is wrong. Our laws are honestly administered. Life and property are safe in this country. In everything which affects the individual, this is the freest and the best country. In the State of Kentucky, in ten years, there have been 700 murders, and yet there has been in that time only one hanging by process of law. There were 1,500 convictions for murder across the line in 1883, and only 93 hangings, while 118 people were lynched. The chances of a murderer escaping after he is convicted in the United States are sixteen to one. The number of murders in England amount to 237 per annum in each ten millions ; in the United States they are 820, or three times as many. Are we not better off than the peo- ple of a country where they carry deadly weapons with impunity ; where lax divorce laws have shaken the sanc- tity of the marriage tie ; where the principal, if not the sole test of respectability is wealth, and where lynch law spasmodically attem[)ts to remedy the lax administration of justice by the regular courts, and for the fact that we are living under a better and freer system, we have to thank the U. E. Loyalists, who saved us from annexation. Again, our system of government is simpler, cheaper and more dignified. Our neighbours hav^e never considered what it costs them to elect the head of the State every four years. I was told by a prominent gentleman con- nected with one of the party organizations in one of / CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 69 the States, that the expenses of his party in that State alone amounted to $600,000 for the Presidential election. Counting the expenditure for all the States and for both parties, it would seem that the cost of an election was $4.0,000,000, or at the rate of $10,000,000 a year. That sum would pay the whole expense of maintaining the Royal houses of England, Austria and Germany. And with all the expense, they had at the head of the States simply the representative of a faction, and very often only of the wire-pullers and tricksters of that fac- tion. Without expense, without labor, woiry or anxiety, we Canadians have a sovereign respected by all political parties, and by all the world. For this we have to thank the United Empire Loyalists. In talking of loyalty to the Queen, T speak of her as the Queen of Canada. I am as loyal to Canada as any man upon its soil, and it is because of that loyalty to Canada, and Canada alone, that I am loyal to the Queen, believing that living under the institutions of which the Queen is the representative, Canadians will become a better and a greater race of people. There is another point to be considered in refer- ence to this great question of republicanism and mon- archy. The great objection to a republican form of government is that it is very uncertain and unreliable. If we look at the republics of the world we shall tind that these republics have rarely, if ever, been a success, except among poor, sparsely settled countries. The republican form of government is liable to lead to constant civil war. That is the experience of history. The republics of South America and of Mexico have had civil wars and blood- shed every few years. Ever since they destroyed the legi- timate monarchy in France, they have had revolution and bloodshed about every fifteen years. But it might be said that that is not the case in the United States. I think that the same thing is beginning there. In 1830 — before which date they did not have the Same time to 70 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. if !! ! I' ' r give to politics — when General Jackson was elected Presi- dent, there was a narrow chance of parties breaking out in civil war ; but a vigorous man being at the head of affairs that was prevented. In 1860, when the Demo- cratic part}^ was defeated, the countr3^ was visited by one of the most terrible civil wars known in history, one which loaded tlieir country with debt, and drenched their fields with blood. In 1870 there was another great risk of war, which certainly would have taken place had the late war not occurred so recently. Twenty years will not pass without civil war again breaking out in that country, and if Canadians know what is good for them they will have nothing to do with them, or their form of government. I wish to say a few words about independence. This is the same old question under another form. It is the Republican idea, as opposed to the Monarchical, and it is nob the first time it has come up in this coimtry. It came up in 1776, when Arnold and Montgomery came here and tried to annex the country. But the lately-con- quered French stood by the Crown, and the scheme was defeated. In 1812 the same question was up, and by the lavish shedding of Canadian blood our rights and liberties were preserved. In 1837 a rebellion was begun, headed by a stranger, a new-comer, but the loyalists of that day came out in defence of the constitution. It is true there were then many grievances to be remedied. The gov- ernment was by an irresponsible executive. There really were grievances, but the descendants of the Loyal- ists knew that no matter what the grievances were they were nothing compared with what they would have had to submit to in a republic. The Loyalists turned out en masse and the rebellion was put down. In 1849, a few prominent politicians, a little annoyed about some political matter, signed an annexation mani- festo, but instantly the feeling of the Canadians was shown to be so strongly against them that it dropped at once. In l871, the Canada First movement began. I CENTENNIAL CELIiBRATION. 71 I was a member of that party, and had a good deal to do with it, because I consider Canada before any other coun- try in the world. But one gentleman made the mistake of believing that some of the members were in favour of independence, and speaking in that spirit killed tlie thing with a breath. Many gentlemen left it, feelihg that their ac- tion was likely to be misunderstood. From whom comes this cry for independence ? Not from the real Canadians, but from a few hangers on of the newspaper press — a few wanderers and Bohe- mians — men who have lived indifferently in Canada and the States, and have never been satisfied anywhere — men without an atom of stake in the country. And do you think that the people of Canada are goi'-g to submit themselves to the guidance of such men ? Never. The independence party in Canada can almost be counted on one's fingers and toes. The mov-.nent did not amount to anything, and the moment the people of Canada thought it did, the real feeling of the country would manifest it- self. I would like to ask these gentlemen whether they thought it fair and honest of strangers to come here to air their theories, trying to interfere with a prosperous, happy, and contented people — a people who have no griev- ances they cannot easily remedy themselves. What these men want, goodness only knows. If Canadians are not an independent people, I do not know where such a people can be found. I have read their arguments, and they do not amount to anything. They say, " If we were independent we could have an officer of our force in command of our militia." The law which requires an officer of the British Army was passed by the representatives of the Canadian people, and can be repealed by the same power. They find fault because we have the Privy Council as a Court of final appeal. I look upon it as a great blessing that Canadians have a tribunal so learned and impartial, so free from all bias through party squabbles, to adjudi- tW 72 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. cate on points of difference. Independent nations often refer questions of dillerence to foreign tribunals, yet they do not forfeit their freedom by so doing. There is not a single point in which we are not as well off as our neighbours. But we have this also, we belong to the greatest empire the world has ever seen. We have all the credit and respectability attached to being connected with so great an empire, and our ambition should be to become the most powerful part of that empire. They say a Canadian cannot hold his head up because he does not belong to an independent nation — that if he did he would be a great fellow. They try to appeal to our vanity. If we were independent, would we be any greater a people than we are to-day. Take Brazil, an independent empire, with about the same territory, twice the population, and three times the revenue of Canada, and who would not rather be called a Canadian than a Brazilian? Who would not rather be a Canadian than a Mexican ? The whole of their arguments were fallacies. The reason we are proud of being Canadians is that Canada is not only one of the finest countries on the face of the globe, and going to have as fine a population as can be found anywhere, but also that it is a part of the great em- pire to which we are proud to belong. I have endeavoured to show that every attempt to bring about independence in the past had been put down by the Canadian people by bloodshed, and there could not be any attempt to bring Republican institutions into this country without bloodshed. I ask these wanderers, these Bohe- mians, therefore, whether it is right of them to come here and interfere with us, when they have the opportunity qf going to the United States, where they can get a Gov- ernment exactly as they want it — where they can find a similar climate, and a people speaking the same language. They have no excuse to remain here, for when they can so easily get what they want they should go to the United States, and leave us alone. I I n n\ CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 73 We do not want them, and we can get on^very well with- out them. It must not be forgotten that all ''the advantages we have to-day we owe to our ancestors, the U. E. Loyalists, and the sacred trusts handed down by them should be passed on intact and unimpaired to our child- ren. That is the duty of this generation, and it is to the descendants of the Loyalists that we must look to see that this is done. I wish to quote to you some words writ- ten by Mr. Haliburton, of Nova Scotia, son of the cele- brated author of " Sam Slick " : " Whenever we lower those we love into the grave, we entrust them to the bosom of our country as sacred pledges that the soil that is thus consecrated by their dust shall never be violated by a foreign flag or the foot of a foe, and whenever the voice of disloyalty whispers in our ear, or passing discon- tent tempts us to forget those who are to come after us, or those who have gone before us, the leal, the true, and the good, who cleared our forests, and made the land they loved a heritage of plenty and peace to us and to our children, a stern voice comes echoing on through thirty centuries ; a voice fi'om the old sleepers of the pyramids ; a voice from a mighty nation of the past that long ages has slumbered on the banks of the Nile. * Accursed be he who holds not the ashes of his fathers sacred, and for- gets what is due from tha living to the dead.' " Let our energies be devoted to building up our country, improving our commerce, strengthening our defences, in- creasing our confidence in ourselves and in each other, and it will not be many years or generations before Canada will hold a place in the British Empire as the most import- ant and principal part of it. To the United Empire Loy- alists and their descendants we must look to see that this is done. I can not sit down without quoting those ad- mirable words of the Rev. Mr. Leroy Hooker : — E " Stem was the test, And sorely pressed, That proved their blood best of the best, i r.l <■ 1! I' ■i.\ V 74 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS.

She was loudly applauded, and the people insisting on a recall. She came back and repeated the first verse. Mrs. Morrison then gave another reading, " Loyalist Days," commemorative of the traits and deeds of the United Empire Loyalists, which was loudly applauded. The author is Mrs. Kittson, of Sorel, P.

He could not help feeling deeply that what Chief Green had said was perfectly true, and there- fore he asked the privilege of concluding the service by giving them, with God's permission, the apostolic bene- diction. His Lordship pronounced the benediction, after which the gathering dispersed. His Honour Lieutenant-Governor Robinson gave a re- ception at Government house during the afternoon be- tween the hours of three and five o'clock. There was a large and representative gathering of descendants of U. E. Loyalists from all over the Province. Captain Meiritt, G.G.B.G., acted as A.D.C. in place of Capt.

The band of the 10th Royal Grenadiers was present and played for some time in the beautiful grounds, outside the conservatory. Several interesting addresses were delivered, his Honour being the tirst to speak. He began by saying that he had just returned from hearing speeches that did justice to heroic men. He was glad to welcome the descendants of those heroes at Government House, and would like the people of Ontario to know that there is at least one place in this Province where politics do not intrude, and where all were welcome. He referred to his being a descendant of a U. E. Loyalist, and was only sorry that he could not do full justice to their memory. No words could adequately describe the loyalty and devotion of the heroes who shed their blood to defend the grand old flag that now floated above Government House. Sons of such sires could not forget their deeds, and looking back through the long vista of a hundred years we see them forsaking the land that had been theirs, to carve their way through the forests of Ontario. They left their broad acres and the graves of their fathers through their love for Britain and British insti- tutions. It gave him pleasure, he said, to welcome the American gentlemen present. He had smoked the pipe of peace with them, and hoped that none but the most friendly relations would ever exist between Canada and the American Republic. He had been in New York when they were celebrating Evacuation Day. At the re- ception which he attended the health of the Queen was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm, and he would never forget the remarks made by the chairman on that occasion. Said he : " When I look around and see with what enthus- iasm the health of the Queen of England has been received, I cannot but think that after all the evacuation so far as we are concerned was not a thorough success. It was really a dismal failure, for although we succeeded in getting rid of 78 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. I 'I' a few Englishmen then, they have come back in over- whelming numbers, and thousands of English vessels carry our commerce round the world, and we could but ill afford to lose them." Although a reverse was sustained by England in that desperate struggle of a century ago it has not been without lasting benefit. It has founded the supremacy of the English race, and it was his prayer that it might ever continue. The labour demonstration of the* previous day had shown what Canadians were doing. They have a great heritage, thanks to their noble ancestors, and he was glad that all classes were trying to appreciate it. Numbers do not make a country, but the enterprise, intelligence, and loyalty of its inhabitants. His Honour then called upon Mr. Leroy Hooker, who commenced by saying that though not a descendant of a U. E. Loyalist he was as every Canadian should be, a United Empire Loyalist, one who believed in Canada, and in the great bright future that is opening for it. Mr. Hooker was followed by Mr. Kirby, of Niagara, a gentle- man widely known in Western Ontario. He spoke of the settlement in Upper Canada by the U. E. Loyalists, and gave a short account of some of the stirring incidents that occurred during the war. Lieutenant-Governor Aikins, of Manitoba, was the next speaker. He paid a glowi'^Q^ tribute to the U. E. Loyalists, who gave up everything lor king and country, and said that but for them the map would not show such a large extent of country on this continent under the flag of Britain as it does. The Rev. Mr. Anderson, who has been among the Cana- dian Indians almost from childhood, followed. Of the In- dian Loyalists who fought side by side with their white brothers, he spoke in the most favourable terms. But for them the tide of battle would often have turned against us, and a debt that can never be fully paid is due to the aborigines who fought for us.

ON the 14th of August, 1884, at Niagara, on historic ground, in a glade of the Oak Grove, a short dis- tance from the ruins of Fort George, on the scene of the first Parliament of Upper Canada, and in a neighbourhood watered by the blood of their forefathers, the descendants of the United Empire Loyalists, assembled to hold the final centennial celebration of the arrival of the Loyal- ists in this country. A large platform, thirty-six by twenty-four feet square, was erected for the committee and speaker.^. A tall flag-staif, in the centre of the plat- form, displayed the Union Jack, and at each of the four corners rose tall flag-staffs supporting British ensigns. In front was a large painting of the Roj'al arms, and around the platform were hung graceful festoons of oak and maple. Some tablets were on the sides and front containing the names of men and officers of the Lincoln militia who ^eii during the war. Shortly ^er one o'clock there assembled representa- tives from all parts of the Pro vine* j interested in the 82 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. ir day's proceedings, Among them were His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, the Lord Bishop of Niagara, the Archdeacons of Niagara and Guelph, Rev. Dr. Barclay, Toronto, Rev. Dr. McNab, Bowmanville, Hon. J. Burr Phimh, Colonel Denison, D. A. G , Colonel G. T. Denison, Major F. C. Denison, Chief Green and Chief Hill, Bay of Quints Reserve, Chief Johnson, Colonel McFarland, Mr. Garrett, Mayor of Niagara, Rev. Charles Campbell, Mr. S. Neelon, M. P. P., Hon. J. G. Dickson, Niagara, Mr. J. His- cott, Warden of Lincoln, Mr. J. H. Morris, Toronto, Mr. A, Whitmore, Niagara, Lieutenant W. H. Merritt, Toronto, who was acting aide-de-camp to the Lieutenant-Governor, Mr. Wm. Keys, Grantham, Mr. F. Lefroy, Mr. D. B. Read, Mr. W. Kirby, Niagara, Rev. Mr. Anderson, Penetangui- shene, Mr. W. H. Doel, J. P., Toronto, Mr. C. N. Ball, Judge Senkler, St. Catharines, Dr. Clark, Messrs. John Elliott, J. T. Gilkison, A. Cieghorn and W. Griffin, Brant- ford, Dr. Rolls, Sheriff Woodruff, Mr W. R. Pattison, St. Catharines. Mr. L P. Wilson, County Clerk of Lincoln, Mr. L. D. Raymond, County Attorney, Mr. J. M. Dunn, and many others. The York Pioneers were well repre- sented, and there was also in attendance a delegation of 48 Chiefs and Warriors from the Grand River reserve, headed by Chief A. G. Smith, official interpreter. Of this delegation two of the Chiefs were survivors of the war of 18] 2. They were Captain John Smoke Johnson, in his 93rd year, who was present at the battles of Queenston, Lundy's Lane, Black Rock, and other engage- ments on the Niagara frontier, and Chief John Tutelle, in his 9 1st year. The Tuscarora Indian band was also present and played sf»me delightful selections during the afternoon. Around the platform about 2,000 persons were assembled. R. N. Bail, Esq., of Niagara, occupied the chair, and opened the proceedings. He said : — My Friknds, — The time has arrived when we should begin the proceedings of the day. I am much pWsed to CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 83 see so large a gathering of the descendants of the IT. E. Loyalists on this classic ground, to do honour to the mem- ory of those noble men and women who, rather than live under an alien rule, left all the comforts and luxuries of their well filled homes that they riiight found in the then wilderness of Canada a new home, where the British flag might still wave over, and British laws still govern them. This decision, on their part, brought with it many hard- ships and disadvantages. But the result has fully justified the wisdom of their choice, and we, their descendants, now reap the benefits of their sacrifices in the possession of this noble Canada of ours, whose fertile acres reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and containing within its bounds all the elements of a great and prosperous nation. A country of lakes and rivers, of noble forests and almost boundless prairies. A country that every de- scendant of the U. E. Loyalists will be proud to acknow- ledge as the land of his birth, and be willing to defend to the best of his power. Many a time, in my early youth, I have listened with wrapt attention as my grand- mother told me the story of the capture of Fort Wyoming by Butler and Brant (in which she was detained as be- longing to a loyal family), of the long journey from the Mohawk river to Oswego, through the then almost un- broken forest, traversed only by an Indian trail ; how, on arriving at Oswego, she and others embarked in an open boat for Fort Niagara ; how they were nine days on the lake and five days without food except the hips of the wild rose which they gatliered on shore, and how an Indian woman was sent ahead for supplies, which came in the form of hard cakes, strung on a pole, and carried by two swift Indians, but which came none too soon. These and many incidents of savage cruelty, and una- voidable hardships, made me luok with wonder at the kindly old face, as she told me the tales of olden times. As Chairman, it is out of place for me to make a long speech, especially as our time is limited, and there are ■ i I I '1. .•'I 'lit ' i 84 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. 1^ Ji ■S, v? m I many present, who are better qualified than I am to do justice to the occasion. I will, therefore, now call upon the Lord Bishop of Niagara to open the proceedings with prayer. The Right Reverend Thomas Brock Fuller, Lord Bishop of Niagara, then made the following prayer : — " Almighty everliving God ! who in the inscrutable ways of Thy providence didst permit the early settlers of this fair land to be driven from their comfortable proper- ties in the revolted colonies ; from their farms, their mills and their stores, out of pure attachment to the British throne ; and after enduring many and grievous hardships and sufferings Thou didst bring them to this glorious land to hew out for themselves new homes in the wilderness ; grant, we beseech thee, Lord, that the descendants of those noble parents may ever carry out the principles by which those who settled here an hundred years ago were guided: may be loyal and devoted servants of the Crown; faithful servants of God ; honest and industrious members of society and good neighbours ; continually striving to adorn the doctrine of God, their Saviour, in all things, through Jesus Christ our Lord. — Amen." Likutenant-Governor Robinson was called upon as the first speaker. He thanked the chairman and the audience for their kind reception of him. This was the third time he had been called upon to greet the descend- ants of the U. E. Loyalists gathered together to celebrate the deeds of their ancestors. At Adolphustown, on the shores of the beautiful Bay of Quints, thousands had gathered to do honour to the noble dead, and but a few weeks ago he had had the pleasure of meeting represent- atives of the U. E. Loyalists from all parts of the Prov- ince, at Government House. The spot where they now stood v/as historic ground. Here in this old town of Niagara the first Parliament of Canada assembled, and they then passed the jury law, and an act declaring that from that time there should be no slavery in Upper Can- 1^'! :«) ^rrv CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 85 'M ada. Those were great and good laws, and the fact that they were so early passed was a just cause of pride to Canadians. Col. Littlehales, one of the staff of Governor Sinacoe, made the first trip through the interior of this Province, of which there was any record. Part of that rec- ord was to the effect that before going to rest at a station near the site of the present city of London they sang ** God Save the King," and now a hundred years after, at every public meeting held in any of the fine halls in which the people assemble they hear the strains of " God Save the Queen." He dwelt upon the heroism of the men of the Revolutionary War, and of the war of 1812, as an incen- tive to the people to cultivate the same spirit. He eulo- gized the Indians, representatives of whom he saw present. If above our heads floated the British flag to-day, they had to thank the Six Nation Indians in large measure for it. Some undertook to sneer at the feeling of loyalty, of which they were proud. But those men could not understand this feeling, but they, who were moved b}^ it, felt that the spread of it among all people would be to the benefit of the country. The current literature of Eng- land showed that the fact was being recognized that the colonies were almost of as much value to the empire as was the empire to the colonies. If this feeling was car- ried to its final outcome the result would be largely due to the bravery and loyalty of the United Empire Loyalists, who have saved to the British Crown this finest unoccu- pied part of the world. The Venerable Bishop of Niagara next spoke. He said : I am not the son of an U. E. Loyalist, in the strictest sense of the term, though my mother's father, Capt. Eng- land, of the 47th Regiment British army, lost blood at Bunker's-hill, on the right side, (laughter) ; and after the war settled at Kingston, Upper Canada. I have ever ad- mired the noble body of men who sacrificed their all — their comfortable farms and wery thing they had accu- mulated for a principle, that of loyalty to the British I! : I 1^ V 3 1' ! 86 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALSITS. Crown. There are other colonies in the British Empire whose first settlers were convicts, viz., Botany Bay and Van Dieman's Land ; but such was not the case with our country. It was settled by men of high principle — by men of education. Ther<^ are men, little removed from the beast that perishes — who have no principle, who are satisfied to live under any government so long as their bodily wants are satisfied. Such were not the early settlers of Upper Canada — such were not the men who settled in the Niagara district — the Butlers, the Balls, the Swayzes, the Scroopes, the Whitmores, the Woodruffs, the Stalls, the Lampmans, the Bykerts, the Merritts, the Dureetes, the Gregories, the Nelleses, the Petti ts, the Lundys, the Kerbys, the Warrens, the Macklems, the Ryk- mans, the Ryersons, and the thousands of U. E. Loyalists. He felt that many now enjoying the glorious privileges of British subjects in Ontario, did not realize what they owe to these men and women, who landed on these shores a hundred years ago. Many of them here had heard but little of what the first settlers had sacrificed out of principle, what they had endured in coming here, to prepare the Province for tlieir occupation, and there- fore they do not appreciate this noble band of men as they deserve. Man}'^ of the settlers, who had fought valiantly in the revolutionary war as young men, fought again as men well advanced in years under Generals Brock and Riall and under Colonels Harvey and Bishopp, and other noble soldiers, who led them to victory, when this peaceful Province was invaded in 1812 by a body of men who thought that they had only to show themselves on our shores to pluck this glorious Colony from the British Crown. But they were mistaken — they found that those who had endured hardships in the revolution- ary war, were ready to endure the same in defence of their wives and children and their new homes in the wil- derness. \.lter doing their best to conquer Canada, the invaders were glad, in 1815, to sue for an inglorious CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 87 peace, without having secured an acre of our soil ! The Bishop said, that he was thankful to have been spared by a gracious God to have seen that day. He was an old man — had thankfully watched the growth of this country for nearly seventy years. He said that he was " an old man," but Canadians often lived to be very old men. He had then living an uncle, who had entered on his 97th year on the 13th January last. He was, at last accounts, in the enjoyment of good bodily health, a full General of the Royal Artillery, and the oldest officer in the British army, and, like the speaker, he was a native Canadian. In conclusion, the Bishop remarked, that he hoped that his fellow-countrymen, with such glori- ous examples before them, would emulate the virtues of their fathers, improve the laws of the land, love God and honour the Queen. 1 « SENATOR PLUMB S SPEECH. The chairman then called upon the Hon. J. B. Plumb, Senator of the Dominion, who was received with applause. Mr. Plumb said that as a resident of the Town of Niag- ara and a member of the Reception Committee, he de^ired to unite with the chairman in extending a cordial and hearty welcome to all who were here on this memorable occasion. He was deeply gratified to find so large an assemblage, and to know that a great proportion of those who composed it were descendants of the early settlers of the country, and that they were here to do honour to the memory of their loyal and brave forefathers.' The chair- man himself was a representative descendant of a worthy U. E. Loyalist family, an inheritor of the lands granted hy the Crown to his ancestors, who cleared them from the primeval forest, lands which are now teeming with the products of the field, of the orchard, and of the vineyard under the })ractipal and successful cultivation which has made the name of their present owner widely and favor- ably known as an agriculturist and fruit-grower. 88 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. ;ii •^i • ^ ^1"' ! Hi Ifin He (Mr. Plumb) could not claim to be here by virtue of such a descent. It was well known that his earlier life had been passed in the neighbouring Republic of which he was a native, but his forefathers had held positions of trust and honour under the Crown prior to the Revolution both in civil and military life, and when, upon mature redection, he decided to take the oath of allegiance, he resolved to the best of his ability to do his duty as a loyal subject. Conspicuous among those who were with us to-day are deputations of chiefs of the Iroquois, who come from their reservations on the Grand River and the Bay of Quintd to join in this celebration. They were entitled to special greeting and honour. The alliance of the Six Nations strengthened the British power in its struggle with the French for the mastery of this continent and largely con- tributed to its triumph. When the Revolution began, they refused to break the covenant chain and at the hazard of their homes and their hunting grounds in the State of New York, at the risk of the destruotiv>n of their ancient league of the Long House, they joined the forces of the Kin^, led by Brant, whose grandson, chief of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quintd, is with us to-day. They served the Royal cause with unswerving fidelity and indomitable courage until the war was ended, and by its fortunes their great possessions were lost to them forever. The treaty of 1784 left them homeless and unprotected exiles, " To dig unable and to beg ashamed," but the British Government soon made them amends by large grants of territory on the Bay of Quintd and on the Grand River. While the sons may look back with regret to the days when their fathers held supremacy over the greater part of the continent, east ot tlie Mississippi and north of the Gulf States, they may compare their position with that of such of their brethren as stood neutral or took part with the colonists and depended on their promises. They \f.mi i'li ■. )«ni CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 89 were driven before the white settlers, the Oneidas and the Cayugas were utterly dispossessed, and the Onondagas, Senecas and Tuscaroras were confined within the narrow limits of reservations that have been sacriticed piece-meal to the greed of land-jobbers till scarcely a foothold re- mains. Three dim-eyed feeble old warriors who are now upon this platform, one of them a chief of high rank, have passed four score and ten, and were perhaps among the firstborn of those who took possession of their new home on the Grand River. The eldest of the three, Chief John- son, whose Indian name is Sakayondagwaraton, or the " Dissolving Mist," is ninety three years of age. He held the important otiice of Speaker of the Council and his familiarity with the mnemonic language of the wampum records, by which all the transactions of the League are preserved, enabled him last year to perforui a prodigious feat of memory in reading the belts several hours each day for three days in succession. Mr. Horatio Hale, whose " Book of Rites " is a late and important contribution to Indian history says of him " His eloquence was noted even among a race of orators, I can well believe what I have heard of its effect, as, even in his old age, when an occasion has for a mouient aroused his spirit, I have not known whether most to admire the nobleness and force of his sentiments and reasoning, or the grace and flowing ease, with which he delivered the stately periods of Ids sonorous language." All these veteians served with distinction and h)ravery in the war of IM2, and their spirit survives in the youn<>* men of the League, many of whom form companies in the volunteer battalions of Haldirnand and Brant, and are praiseworthy f)r soldierly appearance, discipline and drill. Our Iroquois are to be greatly commended for improve- ment in agriculture^ for peaceful conduct, for absence of crime, and for the progress of education and growth o" Cluistianit/ among them. They are the remnant of the F 90 UNITED EMPIRE LOYAT.ISTS. *|i iiii ( 1 i! ^ i 1' 1 . 1 1 1 ii J ! noblest type of th«( rod races in North America. It is not easy to conccivo the sacrifice of li])erty wliich their present, mode of life involves. They have conformed to it in a manner that jnstities tint highest expectations of their future achievements in civilized life, and in the cul- tivation of the arts of peace. The British Government has always kept faith with the Redmen. To the Iroquois they were bound by oVjligations that would never be forgotten. It may be asked why we aie met here ? Why, after the lapse of a century every loyal man's heart boats with the same feeling that animated their ancestor's who aban- doned their homesteads and all their earthly [)ossessions and made a [)ainful and perilous journey through the wilderness in onlvv to remain under the old tifig ? The brave loyalist brought with liim his honest convictions and his love of constitutional lil)erty, and his children and his children's children, by their })resence here to-day, tes- tify to the endurance and strength of the principles they have inherited, and to their desire to bequeath them un- impaired to those who are to come after them. An essential ditference exists between the political in- stincts of the people of Canada and those who reside across the borders. Our neighbours have largely extended the bounds of constitutional liljerty, but he (Mr. Plumb) believed that in the end adhesion to the Crown had secured for this Dominion a still larger constitutional freedom than that of the United States in our parliamen- tary government and direct ministerial responsibility, which involved the immediate appeal to the people, at any moment when the Ministers of the Crown failed to be supported by a majority of the representatives of the people in the House of Commons. Many thoughtful citizens of the Republic clearly saw the advantages of our system, but it could not be adopted there without radical changes, which seem impossible. He hoped that, by God's grace, Canadians might preserve it unchanged, and that CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 01 lat it would be sacredly chorishefl by future generations. He believed that it was in the best interests of themselves, and of the world at lari(e that each of the two ^reat peoples who inhabited North Ainta-ica should Ix; per- mitted to evolve their own se})arate an .-^ v: >> y ^ loiiii ■MKV % I 92 UNITED EMPIBE LOYALISTS. W !(i '«; iilii h ay which our cherished institutions securely rest, l d he be- lieved it to be ineradicable. It was not a principle which was inoommensurate with progress and development as its opponents have asserted, and it seemed to harmonize especially with colonization, as mififht be seen in the vast extent throu/jfh both herai- spheres of a Greater Britain of powerful and prosperous colonies, acknowledging a willing and not a compulsory allegiance to the Throne, adhering to British traditions, and governed by British laws. It is less than three hundred years since the first permanent settlement of white men was made upon this continent. Sir Walter Raleigh, and his half-brother. Sir Humphrey Gilbert,, under favour of Queen Elizabeth, fitted out an expedi- tion for America in 1583, which failed disastrously, and Gilbert lost his life by shipwreck on the return voyage. Another expedition of Raleigh's landed at Roanoke, in Virginia, at the end of August, 1584*, and had friendlj intercourse with the natives. The next year a fleet of 3even vessels under command of Raleigh's kinsman, the celebrated Sir Richard Grenville, immortalized in Ten- nyson's ballad of " The Revenge," settled a small body of colonists at Roanoke. After extreme hardship and sufiering, they were taken back to England by Sir Francis Drake in 1586. The same year, fifty settlers were landed by Sir Richard Grenville, and a hundred and fifteen were sent out under Governor White in 1587, all of whom had perished or disappeared when White returned with sup- plies and recruits in 1590. At the death of Queen Eliza- beth, there probably was not an Englishman on this con- tinent. The colony of Jamestown was established three years afterwards in 1606, and the following year Cham- plain landed on the site of Quebec. " From email beginnings we date our winnings.'^ We are celebrating to-day the Centennial Anniversary of the first settlement of the U. E. Loyalists in this Pro- CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 93 vince. There were tiien, including those hardy pioneers, certainly not more than 20,0(J0 white people within its borders, and in 1790 not more than 25,000, and yet, in 1791, the British Parliament passed the Act separating the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, by virtue of which Act Governor Simcoe, in the summer of 1792, or- dered an election for the first Parliament of this Province, which met in September of that year, av; a point near that on which we are standing, and almost within the sound of the voices of the speakers on this platform. In the eloquent address with which he opened the Session, he said that in consideration of the sacrifices the Loyalists of the Province had made for the Crown, and the evi- dence they had given of their capacity for self-govern- ment, the largest measure of liberty ever granted by the British Parliament to a colony had been given to Upper Canada. He said that the confidence reposed in the colonists had been well earned, and that he was sure that they would never betray the sacred trust. Among the first acts of the Upper Canadian Parliament was the adoption of the laws of England and the ab«^lition of Slavery. We have been told (said Mr. Plumb) that we are lagging behind our Republican neighbours in the race of development and improvement; but he thought we had reason to be proud of our advancement. He had said that in 1790 the population of Upper Canada did not exceed by the highest estimate 25,000. It was probably far short of that number. That of the State of New York was then 340,120. If the growth of this Province had been on the same ratio of that of the Empire State, which has the greatest sea-port on the continent, we should have had in 1881 a population of but 375,000. The State of New York in 1880 had a population of 5,082,871, or an increase of fifteen fold. This Province had a popula- tion in 1881 of I,923,:28, an increase of sixty-four fold. It was a mistake to suppose that the political organi- zation, under which we have attained this wonderful re- V" • m U r ;! I i: , ,if I ijii ill Ijll! 1 I 94 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. suit, could be compared unfavourably with any which exists. We had a system under which the people, through their representatives, could at any moment compel the Ministry to change their course, to dissolve Parliament, or to resign their offices. The purse-strings being held by a responsible Government, if there was any misman- agement, the elected representative of the people could immediately interfere. Ail the Cabinet Ministers sat in Parliament, and those in the Commons, after their ap- pointment to office, must go back to the people for re- election and confirmation. The Executive was not a four years tyranny, with a Cabinet that could not be reached except by impeachment. It was a rule that could be changed when it could no longer hold the public confi- dence, as was exemplified by the dissolution in the autumn of 1873 of the Parliament elected in 1872, it having been claimed by the majority that the Ministry no longer re- presented public sentiment. The public expenditure is controlled by the Commons. Every item can be fully examined and discussed in Committee of Supply. The estimates for the expenditure are before the Commons in detail from the beginning of the Session, and separate votes are taken on each item. We know nothing of a log-rolling, omnibus supply bill, forced through on the last night of the session when clamour and intimidation burk discussion. Not only has every item to be voted on in committee, but the vote must be afterwards affirmed by the concurrence of the majority, with the Speaker in the Chair. There was, he said, no proscriptive or exclusive spirit here. Every man was welcome among us no matter of what nationality. There was room for all. The natur- alization laws were libergd, the franchise was governed by a trifiing property qualification, the main object of which was, through scrutinized registration, to prevent fraud. There was no Elective Judiciary dependent upon popular sufirage. The supremac}^ of Parliament could only be appealed from to the Throne itsielf. ^ (^ CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 95 It was a matter of pride to him to say that he was an exemplification of the liberality with which th e Canadian people treated those of foreign birth who became subser- vient to the laws. He had been honoured by the people far beyond his deserts in this old borough of Niagara, and now he held from the Queen, one of the highest com- missions that could be held by any subject in Canada — a seat for life in the Senate. He had endeavoured faith- fully since he entered public life to promote the welfare of his adopted country, anv.' he believed that he would never be found recreant to the trust placed upon him. It might I e that there were people in Canada who were en- deavouring to sow seeds of dissension between the loyal people and the throne. He said of such, that they could not do it, that while he was willing to discuss most mat- ters with them, that that question was not one which could be entertained, because the hearts of the people were so securely fixed in their allegiance that they did not want any argument on the subject. He trusted that every manand woman before him would never forget that it was their bounden duty to transmit with religious care the noble principles which they inherited from their parents, and to let their children know that there was no uncei*tain sound in Canada in respect to adhesion to the British Crown. He would conclude by quoting Tenny- son's words, which he trusted would sink deep into their hearts : oil, save the one true seed of freedom sown Betwixt a people and their ancient throne, That sober freedom out of which there springs Our loyal passion for our temperate Kings ; For, saving that, ye help to save mankind, Till public wrong be crumbled into dust, And drill the raw world for the march of mind, Till oro'yds at length be sane and crowns be just. Lieutenant -Colonel George T. Denison said : The arrival of the U. E. Loyalists in this Province one hundred years ago, was an event which has had a lasting effect upon the history of this country, and was, to a ■J !i f 96 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS great extent, the cause of our being to-day a portion of the greatest Empire in the world. 1 need not say here on this historic ground, teeming with recollections of hard fought fights, or to the descendants of those who pre- served our liberties in 1812, that to the U. E. Loyalists we owe tiie fact that we enjoy to-day the true liberty that is to le found under a limited monarchy. Those early settlers who came here one hundred years ago were the very best of the old colonists. They were the law-abiding, God-fearing classes, and this was remarkably sJiown by the fact that in the early years of this coun- try crime was almost unkown, the settlers being an orderly, peaceable, >\ ell- behaved people. They gave a start to this country, the benefits of which we are con- tinually feeling year after year. Ever since the pro- vince was established, the fringe of settlement, as it moved, slowly into the forest has been almost free from crime, this, strange to say, has continued to this day, and is a remarkable feature of the .settlement of the North- West. How different it has been in the Republic to the south of us — lawlessness and crimes of violence have been ram- pant for one hundred years back, and life is now more unsafe in the United States than in any civilized or semi-civilized country in the world. It is not the cli- mate that has done this, for in many sections it is very similar to our own. It is not the physical character of the country , for that also is alike. I attribute it entirely to the form of government. The Republican form of government attracts all those who love lir;ense rather than liberty ; while those who desire to see liberty given only to do what is right, are much more likely to seek a monarchical form of govern- ment. From this reason, while the American Republic has, as one of their own prominent men has well said, been for one hundred years the " cess-pool " of Europe, and has attracted the worst classes from the old world, if %^*^ CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 97 thanks to our form of government, we have had the best and choicest settlers come to us. I do not pretend to say that immense numbers of estimable men have not gone to the States, but I will saythat we have been singularly and fortunately free from getting the bad classes which have had such an evil induence upon the neighbouring country. One of their own writers in the Nortli Ameri- can Review, for this month, one of their own Magazines, laments the want of public honesty in the people and rulers of the United States, and entitles his article " Are We a Nation of Rascals ? " It is painful to read the article, and to feel that any English speaking people could have so bad a record. Even in the treatment ot the In- dians, the contrast between us and our neighbours is as remarkably striking, and the reason is, that there is some honour with us in our treatment of them, while across the border they have been treated by the agents most un- fairly, and by a,ll classes most cruelly. From British Columbia to Cape Breton we, Canadians, can proudly point to one of the largest and finest countries in the world, with as well-behaved and law-abiding a population as can be found anywhere, while south of us, the lawlessness is wide-spread, and the crimes of violence almost without number. Can any one say that the arrival of the U. E. Loyalists here in 1784 did not start this Pro- vince well, and that their maintenance of our freedom in 1812 did not preserve a system of government which is a great boon anv' blessing to us to-day. Sometimes it is said by strangers and aliens amongst us, that we, Canadians, have no national sentiment, that if we were independent we would have more of it, and it is the fashion to speak loudly of the national spirit of the citizens of the United States. I take issue on this point, and on behalf of our people, I say that the pride of the native Canadian in his country is quite equal to the pride of the Yankee in his, while the willingness to de- fend it in case of need is far greater in the Canadian. ' f^i ' vl . n 1 1 fi H # 98 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. i,i. J 11 ! I. I VI I H I The strongest national sentiment that has yet been ex- hibited in the States v/as shown by the Southern people in their gallant struggle to destroy the Union. The national spirit shown by the Northerners where the boun- ties rose to about $1800 a man, where patriotism con- sisted in hiring a man to go and hght while the citizen took a contract to supply the soldiers, as has been well said bv their celebrated divine Dr. Talmage, " With rice that was worm eaten, with biscuits that were mouldy, with garments that were shoddy, with meat that was rank, with horses that stumbled in the charge, and with tents that sifted the rain into the faces of the exhausted." The patriotism shown by 3,000 Yankee Militia almost in sight of this spot, in 1812, when they refused to cross at Queenston, to aid their comrades, whom our volunteers shortly afterwards cut to pieces under their eyes, was very dift'erent from the patriotism of the Canadians who crossed the river and captured Detroit, or those who fought at Chrysler's farm, or those who drove back Hamp- ton at Chateauguay. In 1812 every ablebodied man went to the frontier to light leaving the old men, the boys and the women to till the fields. One might travel a day's journey in this Pro- vince during that war without meeting an ablebodied man, as they were all on the frontier. That kind of national sentiment was very different from that of the bountied mercenaries of the Northern armies, or of the three months' men, who left the army of the Potomac in 1861 on the eve of a great battle. What a striking con- trast also was this latter incident to the calling out of 10,000 Canadian Militia at the time of the Fenian trou- bles of 1866. Only sufficient regiments were ordered out to make with their full strength 10,000. In less than eighteen hours after the order was issued the regi- ments were all at their posts, and the returns showed over 14,000 on parade. The extra 4,000 consisted of vol- unteers who had served their term and been discharged, CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 99 but who, on the call of danger put on their old uniforms, rallied around the standards, and fell into the ranks without bounty of any kind, or other obligation save the national sentiment which is the characteristic of our people. In the Oregon difficulty, in the Trent affair the feel- ing was admirable. Can we call to mind the conduct of the Nova Scotia Legislature at the time of the Maine boundary difficulty, when the members standing in thtdr places, unanimously passed with three cheers for the Queen, a vote placing at the disposal of the Government every dollar of their revenue, and every ablebodied man in their nrovince to be used in defence of their sister province of New Brunswick that was threatened with attack — can we call to mind the Canadians who came back to Canada from every state in the Union to aid in defending her from the Fenians, without feeling that we have in o\ir people a strong national sentiment ? Canada has never had to call upon her sons to defend her, that they have not cheerfully responded to the call, and there is no doubt that we Canadians have a national sentiment. We have a pride in our country and a confi- dence in it and in its future. Wanderers and Bohen)ians, strangers and tramps may, because we are not traitors to our government and our country, say that we have no national sentiment ; they may not see, or feel or appreciate the patriotic feeling of the Canadians ; but we Canadians know that it is there. The militia force is one proof of it, a finger post to point out to all that we intend to be a free people on this continent, and that our liber cies can only be taken from us after a desperate struggle. This loyalty of Canadians to Canada makes them loyal to the Queen, because she is the embodiment of the principles of the government of our country, not because she is the Queen of England, but because she is the Queen of Canada, and they are loyal to our mop'jvichical institutions, because they feel that true patriotism to Canada lies in that direc- tion. vl 9 ?i ^:|: ] ' 'V ,a 100 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. H < We absolutely govern ourselves, the tie which binds us to England is one in which all the advantages are on our side. There is nothing in it that presses on any of our people, and there is no matter of detail in our system that we have not the power of regulating for ourselves. Unfortunately, however, there are a few who are not sat- isfied, and who agitate for change foifthe sake of agitat- ing. This is, and always has been, a difficulty with every form of government in all ages. No form of government coul' possibly be devised in which there would be no malcontents, no conspirators, no agitators. The grandest poem in our language describes a rebellion against Heaven itself, and in all countries, and in all governments, there have been agitators of the same type. Rome, a republic with the highest national sentiment, had in it the elements o. discord in the broken down classes, who rallied around Cataline and formed the famous cons[)iracy which bears his name; and to-day in most countries the same type of agi- tators and malcontents abandon useful labour to conspire against lawful authority. In Russia they have the Nihil- ists, in Germany the Socialists, in France the Communists, in Ireland the Fenians, in England the Dynamiters, in the United States they have all these classes mixed up together, and in addition they have their politicians, while in Canada we have only a few Independence writers, the weakest and most harmless of all these troublesome classes. These wanderers and Bohemians, with the charming impudence of the three tailors of Tooley Street, speak of themselves as the people of Canada. It is the fashion of men of their type always to talk loudly of the people, as if they were the people. But who are the people ? The people of this country are the farmers who own the soil, who have cleared the fields, who till them, and who pro- duce the food that feeds us. The people of Canada are the workers who work in her factories, who carry on her trade, who sail her ships, and spread her commerce, — the artizans who build her cities and work in them. These CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 101 are the people of Canada, not the few agitators who serve no good purpose, and whose absence would be a relief, if they went back to the neighbouring Republic, from which many of them have drifted in to us. The real Canadians are a unit against change in our Con- stitution. The farmers do not want it — the Militia, re- presenting all shades of political and religious feeling, are sworn to be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Ma- jesty, and they will stand by the Constitution to the last. The Roman Catholic church is loyal to the core, for it knows that under our government we have absolute re- ligious freedom. The Orange order owes its existence to a desire to maintain the British Constitution. The Eng- lish, Irish, and Scotch, who have corne here to settle, have come here in preference to the States, because they de- sired to remain under the old tlag, and under the system of government of their fathers. They are true as steel to the Constitution, and are U. E. Loyalists at heart. Both political parties are loyal. There is no class that is not loyal. The vast majority of the newspaper press are loyal to Canada and its institutions, and have no sym- pathy with the black sheep that hang on the skirts of their profession, any more than thp Medical profession have for the empirics and quacks that cling to them, or the lawyers for the pettifoggers who bring discredit upon theirs. If we were independent to-morrow we would be more dependent upon the United States than we are to-day upon England. Annexation would only be avoided, if at all, by a tremendous struggle and enormous sacrifices, and if annexed, where would our independence be ? Gone for ever ! and we would be governed by the wire-pullers of the factions at Washington,our manufactures sacrificed to the interests of New England, and our own aflfairs ad- ministered by carpet-baggers. The paltry few who argue independence cannot foresee what the result would be, or if they do, having no stake in the country, they do not !; ■■! ■ m 1 j f^ 1 102 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. It 1 II I >; I. care. They mi^ht ruin us politically and morally and commercially, and then wander off to some other coun- try, and be as well off as they ever were or ever will be. Why should we dismember the Empire ? When the German people have united to make a great State : when the Italians have been consolidated into a powerful king- dom, are the British to divide and weaken ? Are the Anglo-Saxons to bo the only race to do this ? and are we Canadians, without reason or motive, to be the cause ? I don't call the United States an Anglo-Saxon community now. Once it was, but since the revolution it has been the dumpingground of Europe,and they are forming a commu- nity there entirely different in its characteristics from ours. I have watched the writings of these independence men, and have at last discovered what their real griev- ance is, and it is that there are certain peopje who hold public offices. They do not object to there being public offices, but the real troul u is that they do not hold these offices themselves. Envy and jealousy is at the bottom of all their patriotism. They advocate elective offices. They forget that the people indirectly make the appointments, for they elect representatives who hold office at their will, and who are responsible to them for all they do. They agitate for the election to nearly all public offices by the popular vote as in the States, where the system has produced an office-holding class, where strict integrity is the exception, and where peculation is the rule. These agitators and Bohemians wish to become themselves an office-holding class of this Yankee type. They think that by agitating for a change, by creating anarchy and confusion, they might temporarily come to the top. They know that when the pot is boiling the dregs are forced upwards, but they forget that when the pot stops boiling the dregsgo to the bottom. But there is no reason why we should be governed by strangers or tramps, and the people of this country, who have made it what it is, intend to govern it their own way. CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 103 I 'A The worst feature of this agitation is, that a revohition sach as these malcontents ask for, can only be brouglit about by bloodshed. I cannot call to mind an instance of a revolution being carried out without bloodshed. In fact no system of government recognizes any constitutional method of destroying its funtlamental principles. The United States could not establish a despotism under their constitution except by a revolution. The Southern States seceded, not constitutionally, but by conventions of the people in the same way in which their constitution was originally formed, and it was an attempted revolu- tion, and was put down by force of arms. Every attempt from without, or within, in the past to change our system of government has been put down by bloodshed. In fact, the fundamental principle of our government, the Mon- archy, cannot be changed con itutionally. The members of Parliament before they can vote, must swear to be faithful to the constitution, and would be foresworn per- jurers if they afterward betrayed their ''ountry. For this reason I appealed on a former occasion to the good feeling and honesty of the independence agitators, as to whether it was fair or right in them to agitate for a change of government, that can only be brought about by war. And I ask you here again to-day, if it is fair or right for these Bohemians to try to create trouble among a peaceful, happy and contented people, who have no grievances that they cannot easily remedy them- selves, when they can so readily find in the neigh- bouring country the republican institutions they admire ? When I say this I say it in a kindly spirit for I would be the last to prevent them writing and talking and advocating their views so long as they do not break out into open treason. Thank God this is a free country, where people can hold what opinions they like and express them freely, so they may go on if they wish and write their little editorials, and air their little theories, and abuse all who disagree with them, it pleases them and hurts no \ \ it ,1.,, 1 104 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. one, and the very freedom that enables them to do this is what makes our institutions so stable and these men so powerless for evil. It would not be worth while to notice this movement at all, were it not that we are celebrating the centennial of the settlement of this country, on principles diametri- cally opposed to those advocated now by these few, and undor which we have flourished, and increased, and en- joyed so man} advantages for one hundred years. I hope that at the next centennial our descendants may have as many causes of congratulation, and as many blessings for which to be thankful as we have, and that the agitators of their da}'^ may be as weak and uninfluential, and as powerless as ours are to-day. If so about once every one hundred years will be often enough for our side of the case to be laid down. William Kirby Esq., of Niagara, said " Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen. Upon an occasion like this the heart as well as the intellect is stirred up with deep emo- tions. All that is noble, all that is patriotic in us, the pride we have in the loyal and indomitable men who founded Upper Canxda, afford a theme that ought to warm the coldest and make the dullest man eloquent in their praise. The United Empire Loyalists of America only need the truth to be told of them, to make them stand out promi- nently upon the page of history as ranking with the noblest of our race in any land. I am glad and proud of the fact that celebrations similar to this have already been held in Toronto and the Bay of Quints, yet we of the Niagara district did not think that those were enough. This spot consecrated by so many honourable memories of the fathers and defenders of our country, is after all the true historical and proper place for the centennial celebration of the settlement of Upper Canada. Here was the principal landing place of the expatriated loyalists, here came the loyal fighting men of the Revolutionary War, and here they planted 't-.y^^ "w: CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 105 of their war torn but glorious flag and said to the waves of revolution : " Come not here ! this is our Canadian home, and our portion of the British Empire for ever ! " When I look upon the multitude of faces before me, and around me, and recognize, as I do, so many of them as belonging to both of the great political parties which contend for the administration of our goverment ; when I see these usually bitter partizans of both sides of politics, laying aside, upon an occasion like this, their party strife and uniting as brothers and true Canadians, to show their common pride in the unity of the Empire, and to pay honour to the memories of the U. E. Loyalists, who have left us this great country as our common heri- tage — when I see this, I rejoice to know that above all our party noise and confusion, there exists a great firma- ment where peace reigns, where a common sentiment of Canadian loyalty and patriotism brings us all into accord, and shows that Canadians of all creeds and parties can unite to defend our country in danger ; and maintain, as our forefathers did, the unity of the Empire to which we belong. This meeting is a proof that, after the lapse of a hun- dred years, the spirit which animated the U. E. Loyalists is still alive, slumbering perhaps, in quiet leonine strength in the hearts of our people, but ready to wake up as of old, whenever called upon. Superficial onlookers and frivolous scribes may say, that the old spirit is no longer a living principle in us. I say that they who make that assertion know nothing of the U. E. Loyalist stock of this country, and this great loyal meeting is a striking dis- proof of the base charge. Who, it may be asked, were those U. E. Loyalists whom we praise so highly, and whose memory we are celebrat- ing to-day ? I reply, they were that vast number of loyal, law-abid- ing men, who in the American levolution, formed fully one half of the people of the thirteen colonies, when G ; M 1 > i'i .i 106 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. mainly through the machinations and aid of France, those colonies were led into the great rebellion against the Empire. They were, if I may use the American language, which we all understand very well, the party of Union in 1776, as opposed to the party of Secession of that time. They were the men who were loyal to the crown, and to the political unity of the English speaking race. They owed a national allegiance as born British subjects to the Crown and Empire, and felt bound by every tie of duty, honour and religion, to resist rebellion, and preserve intact the unity of the Empire to which they belonged. The crime of dividing the English race was none of theirs ! The great civil war which broke out in the United States twenty -three years ago, has to the American mind greatly modified the meaning of the word — loyalty Instead of being used in a bad and vituperative sense as it had been prior to their own late rebellion, loyalty has since then been discovered to be one of the cardinal vir- tues while rebellion that was previously looked upon as an honourable thing in itself, has come to be denounced as the blackest of crimes ! especially against themselves. I will read an extract from the letter of a distinguished American General with reference to this loyal celebra- tion of ours. He says : " I wish I could be there to unite with you in sym- pathy and feeling, as I do here. Success to the loyal blood ! May its memories be ever green, and the recollec- tion of its unparalleled and unrewarded devotion, bravery and sacrifice endure and wax stronger with time ! We loyalists lost the game, but we did not in the slightest de- gree tarnish our record of honour." I may mention that the general who writes this, is himself a descendant 'of a distinguished Loyalist family of the old Province of New York, The declaration of Independence, which passed by a majority of one only, came like a thunder clap upon the ^>«T ifl CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION, 107 >y a the people of the colonies. Up to that day, the most une- quivocal public expressions of loyalty to the King and Empire had been made, and reiterated by the general Congress as by all the provincial congresses in the colo- nies. 1\ ay, long after fighting began nothing but a re- dress of grievances was professed to be demanded. The army which besieged Boston, under Washington, and that which invaded Canada, under Arnold and Montgomery, fought under British colours. It was known that outside of New England a majority of the people were opposed to secession, and that it was necessary to lead them by de- grees, and blindfold, as it were, into the pit of revolution — and so it was done. It is unnecessary for me to discuss, in your presence, the political issues of the revolution. We are all of one mind on that subject. We know that the loyalists were right in the course they pursued, and that for us is enough. The revolution was not necessary for the redress of such theoretical grievances as formed the subject of dif- ferences with the mother country. The Stamp Act, the greatest offence of all, was never put in force, and was promptly repealed in compliance with the general remon- strance against it. The other minor Acts — of no account in themselves, might likewise have been left to be repealed, and the old harmony restored, had not pride and temper on both sides, taken the place of reason and moderation — and rendered a good understanding impossible. The loyalists of America felt all this, and refused to be hurried into the crime of rebellion ; and when the Dec- laration of Independence was launched upon the country — they denied the truth of the indictments it contained against the King and the people of Great Britain — while the very ofiensive language in which it was couched, added fuel to their resentment, and perpetuates t^e bit- terness of it to this day. I. '.'I'l tm ■ ifi hi 1 1^^ 1 ■ 'I Titi I. \\ 1 ' !■ I 108 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. Their opposition to fhe revolution was met by the en- actment of the most vindictive penal laws against men, whose only offence was a determination to keep their al- legiance, and abide by the flag under which they were born. The persons of the loyalists were seized and im- prisoned — their property — and in property they were the wealthiest men in the community — was everywhere con- fiscated — persecutions begat fierce retaliations. Swords were drawn, and the civil war began which devastated America for eight years — and only ended when the powers of France, Spain and Holland intervened, and by their help the thirteen colonies were severed from the Empire. An able and candid American author has written : — " The loyalists had position and property, the Indians had fertile lands ; both were coveted, and both were wrenched from their rightful possessors." The atrocious penal laws, the proscriptions, the confis- cations, and the personal outrages to which aged and re- spectable loyalists were subjected, even in the presence and with the sanction of some of the highest heads of the rebellion, has left a deep stain upon " the course that was pursued" in establishing the revolution. They added bit- terness and animosity to the struggle, for they called forth keen reprisals, and sent into the royal ranks upwards of 25,000 native Americans ; and it is a fact that, the^contin- ental army, which was largely made up of the foreign element and needy emigrants, had fewer Americans in it than the Royal army. But I need not recount the events of the war. It is estimated that at the close of the war, a hundred thousand loyalist Americans left the Port of New York alone. The world had not seen such a flight of the best elements of the population of any country, since the exile of the Huguenots from France over a century before. The fugitive loyalists who left their native country were dispersed all over the Empire — many went to Great Bri- CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 109 « IM tain, many to the West Indies, many to the wilds of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and thousands came to Canr da. Upwards of ten thousand of the best people of New York and Pennsylvania foand their way through the wilderness, to the very place where we stand, and amid privations, toils and sufferings — the story of which is not yet forgotten — here set up their new homes in the forest and courageously and cheerfully started life anew, and began that career of honour and felicity which is our inheritance in Canada to this day — may it last for ever! As an instance of the privations endured in this coun- try, which was at that time wholly uncultivated; I will read an original, unpublished letter of the period from General Haldimand to Colonel Claus, Indian Superintend- ent, at Niagara, in reference to supplies of food needed here for the Indians. General Haldimand writes in May, 17S0, ' they should consider the trouble, expense and time i'c takes to transport provisions not only to Niagara but aU the way to Detroit and Michilimacinac. Every ounce of provisions, they and we have been living upon for these eighteen months past, was brought from England." When we reflect upon these words, and consider the length of the ocean voyage to Quebec, and the difficulty and time it required to transport all those provisions in canoes and boats from Quebec to the upper country, all the way to Detroit and Michilimacinac, we may Form an idea of the scarcity and suffering that' must have pre- vailed in this wild country, at that time, when the sud- den influx of so many people took place. But Providence had great ends in view, when it settled Canada with men of such heroic strain, and of the purest blood of America. It has been cast as a reproach upon the U. E. Loyalists, that they were largely the gentry, and not the populace of American society. They formed undoubtedly the best ' ' i 111 ui ill I . I .. I ; i :t I H' *4^r 110 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. and wealthiest cla jJ in the old colonies. But all classes were present among them, judges, lawyers, legislators, clergymen, soldiers, mei?.hants, yeomen and handicraft- men — all filled the ranks of that great emigration. Chris- tian men of all the churches were there, but not one infidel of the type of that arch traitor Tom Paine ! He belonged emphatically to the Rebellion ! The Loyalists came with their Penates and household gods, their bibles, the sacred communion vessels of their altars, the tables of the ten commandments from the chancels of their churches, these sacred objects they brought with them out of their abandoned temples. It seemed as if the voice of Christ was heard by them, as he spake to his disciples upon that last day at Jerusa- lem, " Arise ! let us go hence ! " And these ten command- ments they set up anew in the rude churches which they built to the worship of God in Canada. The whole congregation of Trinity Church, New York, with their venerable Rector at their head, transported themselves to St. John, New Brunswick, and there set up the old Tables of the Commandments, and the royal arms that had previously adorned t>eir native church in the City of New York. Upon the table beside me, stands one of the grand silver communion flagons and plates given by Queen Anne to the Mohawk Christians in 1711. They were brought here during the revolution, and are still used by the loyal Mohawks of the Bay of Quintd, of whom Chief Hill, a great grandson of the renowned Captain Joseph Brant, sits here in your presence to-day, the last hereditary chief of that great tribe. There is an immense significance in the fact, Mr. Chair- man, and it is worthy of our deep study, that the U. E. Loyalists, leaving all other possessions behind them, brought with them the ten commandments, the Bible, and the sacred vessels of the communion, as the most precious relics of their old homes in the thirteen colonies. What was left to fill the blank of that great re- CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. Ill ligious and loyal exodus American history is now daily recording, and it is a point I need not dwell upon ; but discerning men can see the blank places left by the removal of those sacred emblems from that country. Here came the great body of the adherents of the Church of England, mainly under the lead of that good man, the Rev. Dr. John Stewart, who founded the first Episcopal churches in Upper Canada. Here came also the pious and zealous John Ash bury, and that godly woman, Barbara Heck, who, after found- ing Methodism in the City of New York, led a band of loyal Methodists to the Bay of Quints, and there laid the foundation of the Methodist church in Canada. The old V/esleyans, like their founder, John Wesley, were ever loyal to king and country, and, perhaps, because they were Methodists, were also U. E. Loyalists, when the day of trial came that proved the spirit of men to the utter- most, whether they were faithful, or whether they were untrue, to the sacred precept of Scripture — " Fear God and honour the king." Here came also a numerous and a gallant band of loyal Roman Catholics, led by their priests, the MacDonalds, from North Carolina and other Southern States, Scot- tish Highlanders, for the most part, who settled our dis- trict of Glengarry, and formed the nucleus of that High- land community, so distinguished for its loyalty and valour in the subsequent history of Upper Canada. Here, too, somewhat later, came a great number of the peaceful Quakers and Menonists, of Pennsylvania. The fidelity of the Quakers to their lawful government, drew upon them a cruel persecution from the rebels, who stained their record by trying for high treason, and hang- ing two of the most respectable Quaker gentlemen of Philadelphia, guilty of no offence in the world but loyal adherence to their king and country. This persecution drove some of the Quakers into the army, and th^Quaker ancestors of a gentleman present on this platform, were i 112 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. among the hardest fighters in our army during the revo- lutionary war. The Quakers bore with characteristic patience the per- secution of their enemies, but they flocked into Canada after the peace, to enjoy the protection of English law, and live in allegiance to their native sovereign. And here, too, came, as I am forcibly reminded by the presence before me of the thirty chiefs of the renowned Six Nations, the successors of a people once the mightiest on this continent. Very different from the Quakers in all respects except in their invincible loyalty, were the native warlike tribes of Central New York, which had been their home and heritage from the earliest times. The Six Nations were largely Christianized and civi- lized at the outbreak of the revolution. Their villages, ca^^tles, cornfields, orchards and pastures abounding in cattle, formed a long line of settlement from the Hudson to the Genessee. Congress, which so loudly in public denounced the in- terference of the Indians in the war, had at the very in- ception of hostilities, sent special commissioners to engage them on their side against the king. A great war belt, with a red axe worked in the middle of it, was presented by the commissioners to the Six Nations , who rejected it with contempt, and instead took up arms to support the king, and under their great chiefs Brant, and John Deseronto, whose descendants are here present to-day, and the distingished Seneca Chief Sakoyenwaraton, " Vanish- ing Smoke," my friend, Chief Hill, tells me it means, fought bravely throughout the war in maintenance of the old treaties, solemnly made with the king. Their grand and beautiful country was destroyed and confiscated. The Six Nations were the first who took up the path of exile and settled in Upper Canada — where they form to-day a thriving, loyal, and happy people, proud of^the gallant deeds of their fore-fathers, and proud of their loyalty and attachment to the Empire. The m CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 113 great L nion Jack, which they have brought with them from the Grand River, has been their rallying flag for almost two hundred years. Such were the sort of men whose memories we are met to celebrate to-day. A nobler ancestry than the IT. E. Loyalists of America no country on earth can boast of. In war they proved themselves to be of the truest mettle. In peace, industrious, law-abiding and honourable— and, it may be recorded, that while during the cour&e of the revolutionary struggle, not a few of the eminent men of, the rebellion drew oflT and returned to their allegiance. It cannot be recorded, that a single U. E. Loyalist, either for family, for property, or any consideration what- ever, went over to the enemy, or returned to them after the war. The advent of the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth, so praised in prose and verse, was a holiday excursion com- pared with the arrival of the ten thousand expatriated Loyalists who landed at Niagara in 1783-4, a few stone throws only from where we stand. The Pilgrim Fathers, a few in number — came to America leisurely, bringing with them all their goods and the price of all their pos- sessions, at peace and secure under charters, granted by their Sovereign. The U. E. Loyalists, unlike them, came bleeding with the wounds of seven years of war, stripped of every earthly possession, and exiled from their native land. This country was then a savage region of forests and swamps. The trees had to be cut down before a seed could be dropped in the ground, and in fact for two years the brave, suffering exiles had to be fed from the military stores of Fort Niagara, before they were in any condition to support their devoted wives and children. Ilistory, written by party prejudice and blind admira- tion of mere success as a test of right, has pleased itself by maligning the character and principles of the U. E. Loyalists. But the course they pursued, after their set- tlement in Canada, was honourable to their humanity, m fi 1 f. i . lt_ 'i ■ t !, . j -^4 ■ i !' ij j. 1 A '' \'t i ■'M I -i,.. iu ii. iU' 114 UNITKD EMPIRE LOYALISTS. wisdom and generosity. In less than seven years after their arrival in this country they established, with the aid and under the direction of that great statesman and soldier, Governor Simcoe, a Constitution and Goverment for Upper Canada which, they were proud tu say, was the very image and transcript of that of Great Britain, and was the model of our Dominion Constitution of to-day. The first Parliament of this Province met in September, 1792, on the spot now covered by the ruined mounds of Fort George, which we see before us ; and there the first representatives of the people of Upper Canada, few in number, but worthy and capable of sharing in the delib- erations of any assembly in the world ; met, and estab- lished the old English principles of law, order, and govern- ment in this country. Contrast their acts with that of the Constitutional Congress of the United States, which had established their new republican system of government in that coun- try, only four years before ! The States which had rebelled in the name of Liberty and had declared all men to be free and equal, did, in their new constitution, solemnly sanction the institution of human slavery, and perpetuate it, seemingly, for ever ! While the U. E. Loyalists of Upper Canada, in their first parliament, and on this spot, made sacred by that Act of eternal justice, did without a dissenting voice, and without a claim for compensation, declare slavery to be for ever abolished in this Province ! All honour to the true free- men and their noble governor Simcoe, who won for Can- ada the glory of being the first country in the world which abolished slavery by an Act of the Legislature ! — and they not only set free their slaves, but placed them on a civil and political equality with themselves. We are not a boastful people, or we might justly boast of having taken the lead of aH' the world in that great act of justice to humanity. So far was Upper Canada in advance of all other people at that time, on this momen- tous question. 1 CENTENNIAL CELERRATION. 11 This fact strikes us more forcibly, when we recollect, that England herself did not abolish slavery in her Colo- nies until 1838, while the United States only did so twenty years ago, and that at the cost of the most fright- ful and destructive civil war on record ; and Spain, ano- ther of the liberators of America, has not freed her slaves to this day ! These acts prove better than any words, the noble and generous character of the men who founded this Pro- vince. The maintenance of the Imperial connection, of the " Unity of the Empire," as we call it in our Canadian speech, was the moving principle of duty in the hearts of our forefathers. Let it be so in ours also, now and for ever. If evil days should ever befall us, and we have no right to suppose that, as a people, we shall always be safe from the storms of fate, or the malice of enemies, inter- nal or external, and you Indians will understand me if I say, that, " bad birds are now singing here and there in the trees." I say, if times of trouble and adversity should ever come upon this fair land, we have the noblest ex- ample in the deeds and principles of pur forefathers, how to meet them. And I have perfect faith in you, brother Canadians, that you, like them, will be found equal to every demand upon your honour and loyalty, in a word your duty. I am proud, Mr. Chairman, to see so many of the U. E. Loyalist ladies of our district present, and wearing upon their breasts the honoured loyal badges of this Centennial celebration. But, the time never was — and I believe never will be — when, be our men loyal and patriotic as they will, the women of Ontario will not outshine them in ardent love to their Queen and Country ! Among them are preserved the honourable traditions of our peo- ple, and so long as they teach them to their sons and daughters, Canada will stand in honour for ever, as the right arm of the British Empire. t > • 11 116 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. 'Vi I will conclude, Mr. Chairman by repeating a few words spoken by me on another occasion : All honour to the Loyalists ! The brave self sacrificing exertions of these men in defence of the unity of the Empire, brought ruin upon themselves in their old homes, bufcvwas the making of Canada by settling it with men of such chosen virtue. If, as a Puritan divine once boasted, " England was winnowed of her choice grain for the sowing of America." We can truly say that " America was reaped and winnowed afresh at the Revolution, and its very choicest men selected by Providence for the peo- pling of this Dominion ! By the loss of these Loyalist:-; the United States were drained of their noblest elements, and suffered a moral loss, which they have never made up for to this day. Some of the best and wi.^jt men in the United States have brushed aside the covering of prejudice and obloquy cast over the memories of the U. E. Loyalists in popular American history, and boldly express their admiration for the courage and devotion to high principles whicii actuated them. Truth will have its revenge in justice at last ! And I venture to sayjihat in another century America, will be more proud of her exiled Loyalists than of the vaunted patriots who banished and despoiled them ! Chief Hill of the Mohawks, Bay of Quints, great grandson of the late Captain Joseph Brant, said : Mr. Chairmau, T did not expect to be asked to address an audi- ence like this, but since you have honoured me, I must not shirk the call. We are here to celebrate the centennial of the one hun- dredth anniversary of the landing upon Canadian soil of our forefathers', whites and Indians. Red and white fought side by side in the Revolutionaiy war. The blood of the red man and that of his white brother mixed together to uphold the Loyalists' cause. My ancestors and yours, my white friends, left all their property to come here, where they could hoist the British flag. They sacrificed all to hew out of the Canadian bush new homes. CENTENNIAL CELEBUA.TION. 117 My great grandfather, the hite Captain Joseph Brant, was one of Britain's strongest allies a hundred years ago and in the late American war the white and red blood was again spilled together — some of it on the very ground on which we stand — for the cause of Britain. Now after a hundred years of friendship and many changes, we are sti ' broth- ers, and I feel happy, as the descendant of one who proved himself a k»yal man, to meet so many white Loyalists. We have been well treated by the British Government, ana, should occasion demand, Indians throughout Canada are ready to do as our forefathers did — fight for the dear old flag we lo e so well. Chief A. G. Sm iH said : Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, — I did not come to make a speech, and consequently am not prepa^^d to do so. But as I have been so honoured as to be called upon to address you, I .shall endeavour to do so in a few words. I shall commence by saying that I am very much pleased to see such a large gathering on this very important occasion, and I am also very much gratified in being able to tell you that there is a very large represen- tation of my people, the Six Nation Indians, of Grand River, who are to-day as anxious to be identified with the descendants of the U. E. Loyalists of Canada, as their forefathers were one hundred years ago. And I am grat- ified in being able to stand before you to-day, to speak to you on behalf of my people, and to remind you that the Six Nation Indians have always been, and are still ready and willing to come to your assistance in every un- dertaking which is calculated to be for the good or honour of our common country. It will scarcely be necessary for me to remind you of the historical fact that the Six Nations did not hesitate to leave their beautiful home in the Valley of the Mo- hawk, in the State of New York ; and to sacrifice every- thing that was dear to them, in order to maintain the honour of the British flag, by fighting side by side with 1 ' 1 i-.v ) I •1 ->- r-S i : 1 »l 1 ri M 118 UNlf ED EMPIRE LOYALtSfS. those brave U. E. Loyalists, who counted not their lives dear, so that they might win for their posterity a name, and the many blessings which we, their descendants, en- joy as fruits of the unswerving allegiance of the U. E. Loyalists and the Six Nation Indians to the British Crown. And, although the time may forever have gone by, when the tomahawks of the Six Nations were needed to assist in maintaining the honour and dignity of the British Crown in this Dominion, yet you can not but admit that their assistance and co-opevation is still desirable, though in another direction, namely, in doing what they can to aid the loyal and peaceable citizens of this fair Dominion in developing it into a great and prosperous country, and of which I am proud as chief, and one of the many repre- sentatives of ray people among you to-day, to be able to say they are willing and are endeavouring so to do. And that our relations with the government of the country have always been attended with the happiest results ; and that the government of Canada has in general kept faith with us, and, therefore, we have very few reasons to com- plain in that respect. But there is one thing that I must not omit to mention, it is a sad circumstance which has not only grieved me, but one and all of the many of my people, who are among you to-day, when in going about the historic plains of Niagara to visit, as we thought, the different places of interest, we came to Fort Messissauga, and lo ! we could scarcely believ^ our own eyes, but when we came to realize that what we beheld was a melancholy fact, that the old fort was allowed to go to rack and ruin, by the sons of the U. E. Loyalists, we were not only grieved, but we blushed for the descendants of the U. E, Loyal- ists, and for every true Canadian for allowing the dear old historical landmarks to become a heap of rubbish. Why, the Six Nations would set them an example in that respect. A church, though a frame one, that was built for them a hundred years ago, is to-day in good re- CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 119 pair, although they have a good brick one for present use. A set of communion plate that was given by the good Queen Anne, is to-day in a perfect state of preservation ; a church bell, Bible and other historical relics equally as old, are almost religiously venerated and taken care of. And we are of opinion that every true and loyal Cana- dian, and the government itself, should see to it that these historical landmarks be restored, and kept in repair as monuments to the memory of those who were not only willing to undergo hardships, but to die, if necessary, in defending their country. In conclusion, I desire to say that I am glad that the time seems to have arrived when the Indian is looked upon as being as capable of being educated, and to have his mind cultivated, when his disadvantages are taken into consideration, as any other race of people, and we have undeniable proofs of the same from the fact of our having already quite a number in the different learned professions, as well as many good mechanics and farmers. And, on the whole, the Indians are prospering under the good government in which they live, and I firmly be- lieve, that the day is not far distant, when the Indians will be able to take their stand among the whites on equal footing, when I am quite certain that the white popula- tion of the Dominion will be forced by their sense of justice to accord the Indian that right which is their just due, namely, a representation on the floor of the House of Commons by one of their own people, who ought to know what is best for his people better than any one else. And now with these few remarks I beg to be al- lowed to resume my seat, thanking you, Mr. Chairman, and all for your attention. Jam^s Hiscott, Esq., Warden of the County of Lin- coln, said ; — Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen. — It almost seems presumptious in me saying anything, having heard so many eloquent speakers. But I would not deserve the 120 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. I i i name of a Canadian, nor would I deserve to represent the County of Lincoln, as its warden, if I did not try to do all honour to the memory of the noble men and women, who sacrificed so much for their country, and who calmly endured hunger, destitution and all the privations of a howling wilderness for the sake of their country. Not only did they give their fortunes and homes, but in many cases their lives, for the love and honour of their country. The memory of these people, w© are commemorating to- day, whose last resting place of many is in this and the ad- joining county^ and whose descendants fought so nobly in the war of 1812, and, had it not been for their bravery, Canada would not be a part of that great Empire, which we all love so well. Mr. Wm. Hamilton Merritt, was next called upon, and said : — Here, in this historic town, in the old County of Lin- coln, represented so long a time by his grandfather, he would indeed be unworthy of the heritage of the name he bore, did he not testify to the same loyalty still existing in his family, as was manifested by his forefathers in fighting for Canada. He was confident that this feeling of loyalty to Canada, and therefore at this present, to the Crown, existed as a strong under-current through the whole Dominion. He would mention an instance which took place in a section of the country, where he had resided a great deal during the past few years, as a case in point. It occurred on the Grand River, in the County of Haldimand, near to where the descendants of our brave allies — the Six Nation In- dians — come from, and who, to-day, are so well repre- sented at this gathering. At a convention of one of our great parties in 1882, called to nominate a candidate to represent it, when the name of a candidate for nomination, who was not personally well known to many of the dele- gates, was brought before the convention, one of the lead- ing men in the county rose and said : " Before a nomina- tion could be made unanimous in this convention, they , CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 121 * must first know the feelings of the candidate on British Connection." His answer was, that, " If severance from the British Empire took place, and there followed the in- evitable annexation to the United States, his inclinations would lead him to sell all that he possessed in this his native land, and leave it for ever." The reply satisfied the convention. This spirit of loyalty as shown there, in Haldimand, Mr. Merritt was confident not only existed strongly in that county, but would be found to be the key-note of the national feelings in every county in Canada. Being of a younger generation than the previous speakers, he believed he could vouch for by far the largest number 'of the young men of Canada, when he said the sentiments of loyalty that had been so ably expressed by the Lieutenant-Governor, Col. George T. Denison and Senator Plumb, would sink deep into their hearts and bear fruit of a sterling quality, and that, in spite of the " Bohemian " agitation in the press, the young men of Canada would be found the strongest ad\ocates and warmest supporters of the grand scheme of Federation, and that following in the footsteps of their fathers, they would be found ready, if unfortunately it were ever necessary, to shed their blood for the defence and liberty of their country. Mayor Garrett, of Niagara, I. P. Willson, of Welland, Mr. Kilbum, reeve of Beams ville, Lieut. -Col. Denison, D.A.G., and other gentlemq^ delivered brief addresses. Five aged and principal chiefs of the Cayuga and Onondaga tribes, dressed in the ancient costume of the Iroquois, representing the still pagan portion of the Six Nations, then came forward, led by the venerable Captain Buck, head chief of the Onondagas, and Fire keeper of the Confederacy, and perfolrmed a ceremonial war dance, semi-religioiis in its character, expressive of the gladness of the Six Nations in taking part in this U. E. Loyalist Centennial. 122 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. I The proceedings then closed with three hearty cheers for the Queen. The following extract from " The Hungry Year,'' a poem by William Kirby of Niagara, was republished in connec- tion with the Centennial. THE U. E. LOYALISTS. The war was over, seven red years of blood Had scourged the land from mountain top to sea ; (So long it took to rend the mighty frame Of England's empire in the western world) Rebellion won at last, and they who loved The cause that had lost, and kept their faith -t To England's crown, and scorned an alien name, Passed into exile, leaving all behind Except their honour, and the conscious pride Of duty done to country and to king. Broad lands, ancestral homes, the gathered wealth Of patient toil and self-denying years, Were confiscate and lost ; for they had been The salt and savour of the land ; trained up In honour, loyalty, and fear of God. The wine upon the lees, decanted, when They left their native soil with sword belts driiwn The tighter ; while the women only wept At thought of old firesides no longer theirs. At household treasures reft, and all the land Upset, and ruled by rebels to the king. Not drooping like poor fugitives they came In exodus to our Canadian wilds, But full of heart and hope, with heads erect And fearless eyes victorious in defeat. With thousand toils they forced their devious way Through the great wilderness of silent woods. That gloomed o'er lake and stiream, till higher rose The northern star above the broad domain Of half a continent, still theirs to hold, Defend and keep for ever as their own, Their own and England's to the end of time.

Our great Canadian woods of mighty trees. Proud oaks and pines that grew for centuries, King's gifts upon the exiles were bestowed. Ten thousand homes were planted ; and each one With axe, and fire, and mutual help made war Against the wilderness and smote it down. Into the opened glades, unlit before Since forests grew and rivers ran, there leaped The sun's bright rays, creative lip.ht and heat, Waking to life the buried aeeds that slent, Since time's beginning, in the earth's dark womb. The tender grass sprang up, no man knew how, The daisies eyes unclosed, wild strawberries Lay white as hoar frost on the slopes, and sweet The violets perfumed the evening air, The nodding clover grew up everywhere. The trailing rasp, the trefoil's yellow cup Sparkled with dew drops, while the humming bees And birds and butterfliefi, unseen before. Found out the uunny spots and came in throngs. But earth is man's own shadow, say the wise ; As wisdom's secrets are twofold, and each Responds to other both in good and il) , A crescent thought will one day orb to full. And on the earth reflect true light of Heaven. But long and arduous were their labours ere The rugged fields produced enough for all. For thousands came ere hundreds could be fed ; The scanty harvests gleaned to their last ear Sufficed not yet, men hungered for their bread Before it grew, yet cheerful bore the hard Coarse fare and russet garb of pioneers, *-wwm\ 124 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS.

Dupre, His Lordship intimated to the Council, that it remained a ques- tion, upon the late Regulation for the disposition of the Waste Lands of the Crown, whether the Boards constituted for that pur- pose were authorised to make Locations to the Sons of Loyalists, on their coming to full Age and that it was his wish to put a Marke of Honor upon the families who had adhered to the Unity of the Empire, and joined the Royal Standard in America before the Treaty of Separation in the year 1783. The Council concurring with his Lordship, it is accordingly Ordered : That the several Land Boards take course for preserving a Regis- try of the names of all persons falling under the description afore- 1^ I 128 APPENDIX A. mentioned to the end that their posterity may be discriminated, from future settlers, in the Parish Registers and Rolls of the Militia of their respective Districts, and other Public Remem- brancers of the Province, as proper objects, by their persevering in the Fidelity and Conduct so honourable to their ancestors, for dis- tinguished Benefits and Privileges. And it is also ordered, that the said Land Boards may in every such case provide not only for the Sons of those Loyalists, aA they arrive to full age, but for their Daughters also of that age, or on their Marriage, assigning to each a Lot of Two Hundred Acres, more or less, provided nevertheless that they respectively comply with the general Regulations, and that it shall satisfactorily appear that there has been no Default in the due Cultivation and Improve- ment of the Lands already assigned to the head of the family of which they are members.
