 T(JKUNTO, DkctMBu: 10. l»5t>.

 Thk UiKiersigned arc deeply impressed with ti«; Ix'lief tliut an urgent necessity now (?xists fur an 
 efficient jiulitical movement to oppose tht; reckless administration of public aflairs, under wliich Canada now 
 riuflers. SustaintMl in office maiidy by tlie Heprese'itatives i.fone s(,'ction of the Province, the Government sys- 
 tematically pursues a secti<rnal pt'licy, humiliating to the inhabitants of Western Canada and most injurious to 
 the moral and material interests of the whole country. Coniposed of men who held opinions prior to their acces- 
 sion to offict utterly antagonistic to each other, — bound together by no tie but that of office- -the Administration 
 has been unable to initiate any beneticial public policy ; but lias occU[ .od itself in creating new sources 
 of patronage to sustain itself in power, and in concealing ti..: internal discords produced by its distribution. 
 The expenses (jf the State have vastly accumulated-^the public debt is enormously increased — the taxes are 
 largely augmented — (Miuality of Kepre«entation is denied — our noble National School system is assailed — the 
 Provincial revenues are appropriated to local and sectional object.-!, sustained in other sections by local taxation — 
 the most easterly city of Eastern Canada is formally selected as the permanent Seat of Government, — and prin- 
 ciples of Legislation are resorted to at every emergency ruinoiis to public credit and demoralizing to our 
 public men. 
 
 The time seems to have arrived when a vigorous and united effort should be made to put an end to these 
 abuses, and to secure a wiser and more patriotic administration of public affairs. From various causes unneces- 
 sarv to recapitulate here, t!i<! Liberals of Upper Can-^da have for some time past been disunited ; but these causes 
 are now in a great measure removed, and it is thought that no serious obstacle now stands in the way of a thor- 
 oughly efficient organization for practical ends. After consultation with many friends, we haveresoh- w lo make 
 the attempt to bring a!)out such a union. We believe that the best remedy for the evils Canada now labours 
 under will jc found in t'lc adoption of the fallowing fixed principles of government and remetlial measures: — 
 
 Reprencntation by Population, without rc'gard to a separating line between Upper and Lower Canada. 
 
 No Legislation by the Representatives of the people in matters of religion, and no appropriation of public 
 money to sectarian uses. 
 
 Uniform Legislation for the whole Province, and gradual assimilation of t'ne local institutions of the two 
 sections. 
 
 National education, impartial, and free from sectarianism. 
 
 Constitutional n'straints on tiie power of the ailministratioii. to stay the rapid and alarming increase of 
 the pulilic debt and the reckless systeni of Li-gislation pursued of late yi'ars. 
 
 I'rcc Trade. 
 
 Adiiiiiiistrative Kefonn. 
 
 Registration of Parliamentary voters. 
 
 Incorporation of the Hudson's Bay tv'rritory as r'anadiaii soil, 
 
 We believe that it is on such ()rinciples that united <.'aiiada can alone aU'ance satisfactorily and harmoni- 
 ously. They involv(> no injustice to any one — no partiality to om; section over the other,— and by their adoption 
 sectariiiu animosities would be banished, at least from 'he political arena. 
 
 We have resolved to invite six prominent Libera:s fr<mi each Parliaini'utary constituency in Upper Canada 
 to meet at Toronto on Thursday, the Hth of January, 18.^)T, for the purpose of forming an .Vssociation to carry out 
 these einls. If you ap|>rove of these principles ;ind Measures if voii iii'e pre; irc<lto stamp them on your political 
 banner, and unse(liice<l liy tlic temiii itions of office, to struggle with a single eye for their accomplishment. w«! 
 res[»ectl'ully invite \iiu to join us on ilie K||i, and aid us with your advice and intiuence in uniting all earnest men 
 in the L'ood cause.
