COBrS!riTi;TXONAL ASSOCIATION OF MONTREAL.
The Annual General Meeting of this Association
was held at the old Circus on Monday, the 81st
December, 1838, the Hon. P. M'Gill, Clinirman
or tlie Executive Committee presiding, and J.
Guthrie Scott,' Esq.^ Seoretaiy.
Tlio Chairman having opened the meeting with
a (ew introductory remarlts, tlio Secretary read tlie
following
" REPOUT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
" GiiiTi.iMiK, — The usual period for the annual
general meeting of this Aisuclation has been passed
over on account of recent disturbances, but ■ tempo>
lary lelurn to tranquillity at this lime oBers an
opportunity of calling you together, which your
Committee gladly seize, to report to you their pro-
oeedingi during the year which is about to termi-
nate.
It is unnecessary to lay before you an "laborcta
exposition of the dominant causes of a reptiiiion of
thuse political outr' s, which so lamentably eliarac-
terized the close ot me lust year, sufSce it to state,
that the original motives for disaHection against
British connection prevailing generally among the
provincial inliabitanu of French origin, which mad-
ly precipitated them into the horrors af civil war at
that time, have declared themselves more openly
during the latter portion of .he present year, and
unequivocally establislied the fact, which has been
frequently urged upon your serious attention, that
prejudices originating in distinctiveness of national
origin, not impatience under oppression have given
occasion to rebellions, which have swept the fairest
portions of this prowinoe with misery and ruin.
The expciience of recent events has abundantly
gonfirmed the opinion recorded by this association
at its last annual general meeting, that a continu'.
■nee of the same national distinctiveness among the
numerical majority of the provincial population
w.'li be attended by the most fatal results, and will
be 1 <ally exhibited in the desoUtion of Lower Ca-
nada, and the violent severance of this impoitant
and valuable eolony from the British Empire.
It is gratifying to your Committee to be enabled
to report thai the appeal of this Association to the
inhabitants of tha sister colonies has been answered
by satisfactory cssuranecs, that a kindred feeling
exi'its between them and the inhabitints of British
origin in this province, that they coincide with this
Association in opinion, regarding the origin and
continuance of the provincial difficulties, and that
they have urged upon Her Majesty's Government,
the necessity of adopting prompt and vigorous
ineasures, for destroying a nationality baneful in
its character and ruinous to British interests in this
Province:
The utter confusion produced by the premeditat-
ed attempts of the Isto House of Assembly to ex-
cite anarchy and rebellion, the insane abdication of
iu higli and important functions, and the disturbs
anCKS with which ihc rebellion of the last year was
preceded and accompanied, all concurred in impera-
tively directing attention to the Legislative union
of the Canadas, as the only mean- for establishing
■n efficient provincial Legislature, and for affording
a remedy for the political evils of Lower Canada.
To secure the assent of Upper Canada, to a mea-
sure involving considerations of extreme importance
to her political welfare became a paramount duty j
communications were at once opened with influen-
tial persons in tliat province, and petitions to the
several branches of the Legislature then in ression,
were prepared ond transmitted without delay, ear-,
nestly pressing the necessity and expediency of the
measure, as well for the relief of their brcihren of
British origin in this province as for securing the
prosperity of both provinces, and preserving their
permanent connection with the Empire at large.
The best thanks of the Association are due to
Iliomas M'Kay, Esquire, M.l'. P. of Upper Cm-
ada, for his unremitted exertions and valuable ser
vices, in supporting the petitions to the Legislature
of that province, as well as for the important infor.
mation communioatcd by him at various times to
your Committee.
In addition to tlieso proceedings which were of a
local character, the critical posture of provincial
ntlairs presented a favourable occasion to your oom-
nsittsi, .or s-.icffssfujjj; euumitting to the serious
attention of the GoTernment, the accumulated evils
which the inhabitants of British origin in this
Province had ao long and so patiently endured, and
for deputing to England a special delegation on
their behalf, with instructions chiefly to urge the
immediate adoption by Her Majesty's Government
of the x.egislative union of the Canadas, ss the only
comprehensive measure commensurate with the
extent of the evils opeisting in this Province, and
capable ss well of ellecting their entire removal as
of preventing their re cuirance, petitions to the
Queen's Majesty and to both branches of th^;
Imperial Parliament, expressing thesentimentsand
views of the association, were approved by the gen"
eral committee and transmitted to England for
preaenution. The Honorable George MufTatt,
Enquire, then in London, and William Badgley
Esquiic, of Montreal, were charged with this im-
porunt mission, and Robert Gillesnie, Esquire, of
London, was deputed to act in the place of the
former gentleman in the event of his permanent
absence from England.
In all these measures as well as in the nomina-
tion of the Delegates, tiie several branch Constitu-
tional Associations throughout the District signified,
their entire and hearty concurrence, and the Con-
stitutional Associatioci' of Quebec, entertaining
similar views upon the subject of the Union of the
Canadas, nominnted Andrew Stuart, Esquire, as
.r". 7 V """"■""• " ■" V "'■"''"• ^s'lU'fe. « usina the English language, were also brouaht ^r

attention of the Imperial Government.
Previous to these proceedings of the Associalijn
reaching England, the passage through Parlininent
of the act for the suspension of the provincini Con-
stitution, and the appointment of the Earl of Dur^.
ham, as High Commissioner to enquire into the
most proper means for the adjustment of the
provincial difficultie*, and as Governor General,
with extraordinary powers of Government, Legis.
lative and Executive, together with the delay in
ascertaining the sentiments of Upper Canada upon
tlie vital object of the Mission, and the absence of a
Delegation from that Province, to support those
sentiments, rendered the exertions o' 'his deiegalion
in reference to the union measuri . ^eiher inelVec-
tual. ^ Notwithstanding this unexi-tcted result, the
great importance of that measure wos pressed by this
delegation upon the attention of the Government
and of His Excellency the Governor General, at
frequent interviews and by written communications,
in the hope that its adoption might be only delayed,
until _ jrsonal observation in the provinces might
induce His Excellency to recommend its being
carried into effect. Various grievances, as they
appeared to affect the interests of the Province in
geneial and of Its inhabitants of British origin in
particular, together with some local grievances,
affecting especially the inhabiUnts of this City and
is'and, were forcibly and frequently brought by the
Delegation under the notice of the Government
and of His Excellency, and various documents in
connection therewith, were prepared aud submitted.
It is scarcely necessary to add, that evciy informa-
tion in the power of the delegation toaflord, was at
all times cheerfully communicated, upon the situai-
tion and prospects of Lower Canada, the composi-
tion of the provincial Legislature, and the conflict-
ing interests, wants and wishes of the provincial
population, with the specific remedies suggested for
each, in order to enable His Sxcelleney, in some
degree, to estimate the evils affecting this province
and the measures of lelief co-extensive with those
evils.
The appointment to the Bench of Justice at
Quebec, of an individual who was a conspicuous
member of the late House of Assembly, and an
acknowledged political leader of the factious majoii-
ty of the provincial population, appeared to your
Committee to be fraught with so much danger, to
the upright and impartial administration of justice,
.« to re()uire to be brought prominently under the
notice of Her Majesty wit.'i a prayer for his imme-
diate removal fiom office. Resolutions to that
effect were prepared and transmitted to the dele
gation, and by them submitted to the Government
OS well as other Resolutions, adopted by your Com-
mittee, having reference to omissions and delays by
the proper provincial authorities, in seizing the
private papers of the known leading agitators of
Lower Canada, antecedent to the rebellious out-
break of tlio last year, whereby it was conceived
that the Uovotiinienl may liuve been deprived of
much im[>QrtaQt evidence, against j^c agistors
" well asigainsi in<!Wldual« in Upper Canada and
yreat Briuin, vrith wliom they were notoriously
jn close and constant corrcspondeiice ; and further,
"aving reference to the delay in the issue of war
rants for the Apprehension of persona ehartted with
treason and sedition, where by their escape from this
province was permitted, and they were thus enabled
to prosecute their treasonable designs beyond iU
limits. These representations were accompanied
by a prayer to Her Majesty's Government, that an
inquiry might be instituted into the causes of such
omissions or delays, and so to clear from suspicion,
such of Her servants as were innocent and to bring
to punishment such of them as were guilty.
A general sutement of objections to a projected
federation of the British Koith American Colonic?,
which was contemplated and appeared to be received
with some favor in England, was prepared by the
delegates from both Associations, and laid before
the Government.
Tlie state of education in this province, m refer-
ence to that portion of the provincial population
deriving its origin from the Mother Country, and the
extreme necessity for establishing a general system
of instruction upon an efficient and permanent
basis, in the elementary as well as in the Irgher
branches of learning and science for the youth
using the English language, were also brought t.y
ment, for the purpose of obuining the fuirillment
of the Iloyal intentions in that particular, and the
employment of the means at the disposal of the
Government, for carrying those lieneficent inten-
tions into effect. The lively solicitude evinced by
the Rifrht Reverend the Bishop of Exeter upon
this mtcresting subject, and the powerful and
prompt assistance offered by His Lordship, justly
claim the sincere acknowledgements of the Associa-
tion, and of the inhabitants of British origin in
general throughout Lower Canada. At a later
period, and suhseqiieiit to Mr. Moffalt's departure
from England, Messrs. Badgley and Stuart com:
piled and published, at the joint expenee of the two
Associations, a pamphlet containing a narrative of
the endowments for Education, and of the Legis<
lative and other public acu in the Province, for iu
encouragement and advancement, from the cession
of the country down to that time.
Tlie document's laid before your Committee by
the Hon. G. Moffatt and W. Badgley, Esq., and
which will be found among the records of the As-
sociation, amply testify the highly satisfactory
manner in which their duties were discharged, and
the a'siduity and zeal with which the various
objecu of the mission were enforced and support-<
cd.
Your Committee have now reported to you as
succinctly as the several matters of detail would
permit, the objects of their labours during the past
year : they cannot however resign the office, with
which they have been honored, without briefly ad-
verting to the peculiar circumstances of these
Provinces, and recommending for your considera«
tion, the means of relief which appear to be the
best f.lted for reestablishing tranquillity in this
distracted Province, and advancing the general
interests of tlio Canadas.
Your Committee in common with the loyal po<
pulation of these Provinces, hniled the arrival of
His Excelhiipy, the Eail of Durham, as an epoch
from w'lich their steady and progressive improve*
ment was to be dated : they were disposed to place
entire confidence in the rectitude of his intentions,
and anticipated from his personal investigations and
inquiries those legislative measures of public utility,
which had been so long withheld from Lower
Canada, as well as the completion of some compre^
hensive plan of Provincii^l Government. The
prematiire termination of His Excellency's official
connection with the Canadas has abruptly destroy-
ed the cxpecutions of your Committee, bnt they
onteruin the hope that His Excellency's presence
in England, and his local knowledge respecting
these Provinces acquired during his brief residence
here, may contribute to the early adoption of
measures, competent to secure the prosperity of
these impoitant dependencies, and to maintain their
connection with the Empire.
Tlie experience of the last two years, if preccd-
ing events had hern wnntintr. hna nrnyed that t!ic
interests^ of a provincial population composed of
two distinct nmionil races, cannot be identified by
separation, and that a numerical majorily of the
one race cannot be assimililed with tlie minority of
the oilier, by securing to the former '.he free exer>
else of (he most proper means for preserving their
distinct national prejudices, in opposition to the
sentiments and feelings of he Empire. It may be
assumed without fear of conlrajiction, that tne
occurrences of these two years, will be far from
diminishing the force of naliunal antipathies among
the population of French origin, and while on the
one hand, it is appaicnt that the existence of an
independent French government in Lower Canada,
would not bu tolerated, it will no> Iw denied on the
other, that the Provincial inhabitants of British
origin: are too sensible of the advantages of a re-
presentative form of Government, willingly to
contemplate the poisibUity of their privation of its
benefits, for a period of any long duration. To
destroy the seeds of animosity and ("iscord, which
unhappily prevail in this Province, to lose national
distinctions In the multiplied improvements to flow
frnm liriiUh energy and intelligence, to establish
an efficient Legislature, capable of providing wise
and judic'ous legislation, and of developing there,
sources of the Canados, and to render this Province
truly Uiitish, and thereby produce common in*
terests and an united population, become of indis-
pensable and immediate necessity.
Your Committee do not hesitate to reiterate their
firm persuasion, that these results are only to be
derived from the Legislative union of the Canadas,
under such terms and conditions, and in such a
manner as will secure s preponderance of British
repreaentation in the united Legislature ; it is un-
necessary 10 specify those terms and conditions at
present, it v.ill suffice to remark, that they are
perfectly practicable, and should be of such a nature
as to remove every appiehension and objection
against the measure on the part of the inhabitants
of the Sister Province.
The absolute division between loyalty and dis>
loyalty to the British Govarnment, and between
Btlachmenl and opposition to British connection,
exemplified in the conduct of the inhabitants of
British and French origin during the rebellious
outbreaks, leaves no room for hesitation as to the
extent of the political privileges, which each race is
justly entitled to claim, and distinctly exhibits the
impolicy of continuing the system of Government
heretofore pursued in reference to Lower Canada,
which baa only served to create feelings of hos-
tility end separation between the two races that
oannot be too greatly regretted, and which is as
inconsistent with the happiness and tranquillity of
the provincial inhabitants as it Is opposed to just
and wise principles of Colonial Government.
A return to the late system of provincial Go-
vernment cannot be contemplated under any cir-
cumstances, unless it be accompanied by a decided
British majority in the provincial legislature, on
the ground, tliat since the Government itself baa
Tfcognised the distirciiou of races, the British, as a
whole, ought to pojsiss such a proportion in that
Legislature as would secure their rights and main-
tain their privileges, and as the or.ly means inde-
pendent of the legislative union of the Canadas, for
I maintaining the oonneotion ofoli* colony with the
parent stale. The difflculties in effi>eting this
object appear to be so formidable as absolutely to
prevent its adoptic <
The objections I the federation of the British
North American Colonies, are so numerous and
cogent and so plain as not to require being detailed
here ; it may however be remarked generally, that
the adoption of this scheme of Gi,verninent would
neithtr palliate nor remove any ef the political
difficulties of this province, would leave them
without r»medy, and supeiadd others of even
greater magnitude, affecting as injuriously the
Canadas as the other North American Colonies.
The Legislative Union of the Canadas, therefore,
appears to olTer the only comprehensive means for
the vigorous improvemrnt of both provinces in
wealth and population, for the increase of the re>
sources of the Motlier Country by extending the
outlets of British industry, and for the promotion
of British settlements by the establishment of a
well digested system of emigration.
From the same source nray be anticipated the
formation of a general system of provincial admin-
istration, which shall be uniformly and permanently
secured, whatever may be the changes of Ministers
at home or Governors abroad, and rh<ch will put
an end to the weak and vaccillating policy, which
has so long and so lamentably marked the colonial
system of the cinpiie.
Your Committee have the gratification of di<
reeling your attention lo the liir,{e debt of gratitude
which Is due by this Association to Robert Gilles-
pie, Esquire, of London, for his unwearied de*
votion to the interests of these provinees, and to
Messieurs Gould and Bliss, of London, for theii
zealous and willing exertions to promote colonial
interests by every means in their power anil upon
every occasion on which their exertions were re-
quired or could be advantageous.
Your Committee, in conclusion, respectfully take
the liberty of urging upon you the necessity, of
employing every energy for the attainmert of the
chief and important object of their recommenda-
tions, of being at all times prepared to adopt such
measures as will preserve British connection and
conduce to the restor aion of order and tranquillity
in howet Canada, ind of impressing upon the
people of Great Britain and Ireland and the comi
metcial interests in those kingdoms especially, the
great importance of these Provinces, to the welfare,
prosperity and security of the mighty empire, to
which we have the pride and satisfaction to belong.
