 Gentlemen, . ( C.-:^- 
 
 BORN and cHncntec nrr.on^fi you» fc- v/lioiu in a juft caDfc* I 
 would fpend my deareft blood, on that frround I indulge myfclf with a hjpe that 'I flnll 
 be excufed if I make ufc of a finTle word that does no: meet with your immediate npjro- 
 bation. With regard to the Lower-town F.leflion tne principle feems to be fixed and agreed 
 upon by all parties, that as the Lower-town is the principal feat of the Commerce of the 
 Country it fhould be Reprefented by an intelligent Canndianand a well informed En^lifnman; 
 that being admitted, we make choice of Mr. De Salaberry, the Englifli make choice 
 of their old tried Reprefentative Mr. Young, who all the Refpeaabje Canadians and En- 
 glilh manfully (upporr, but unfortunately there are amongfl: us as in all other Countries a 
 few Pettyfogging Demagogues who can only live by promoting difunion in Society, ihefe 
 few mutually puffing and fulfomely j)raifing each other conceived all the Elc(5tors would 
 be diredled by them and thereby prevent the Engl ifn from making any choice but cram 
 down their throats a man who has no claims nor pretentions to the fituation. However, 
 M— e, as their champion comes boldly forward Captain General of the Swinilh Multitude, 
 the garrulous party induftrioufly proclaim that the Religion of their Country is in dan- 
 ger, and that Mr. Young was about to embark for England and the neccfiity there was 
 for their voting for Mr. M-e. The infignificancc of the party like the importunate Chink 
 of Grafshoppers in a field, went on in their wild career and had ziftually done fome mis- 
 chief before it was perceived and before the refprdtable part of His Majefty's Subjetis 
 would deign to take any notice of theirungenerous preceedings towards the Englifh Choice; 
 however, the infeds of the day encouraged by their progrefs fecmed determined to make a 
 bold fiand. Even after they found they were to be attacked by their common Enemy, 
 
 the friends of good order and good G- v t, who quietly attending to their refpeclive duties 
 
 in Society under the fhadow of the BritiJJi Oak^ now became Enthufiafts in the caufe, 
 and the Conteft between Property, and Good Senfc, on the one fide, and prejudiced 
 ignorance on the other, began at ten o*Clock on Saturday 7th July, by mutual con- 
 fent, where the friends of the old order of things were found as a firm determined 
 phalanx, each at their refpedlive pofts, whofe rejoicings drowned the departing yells 
 of the flirivelled up few, not longer a body, but one by one deferting the momentary 
 Standard of Error which the pettyfoggers had led them into; the Captain General o-ets 
 difcouraged, becomes pale, and illnatured, to fee that Good Senfe fhould overcome his'^ill- 
 founded pretentions to a place that he is not entitled to. Let us therefore loofe no 
 time but fhake off all conedtion with thofe trifling drivellers and fhew ourfelves the 
 worthy defcendcnts of our Brave Anceflors, who would have fpurned at the idea of 
 taking any unfare advantage of the Englifli, when they were not nearly equal in num- 
 ber ; let HIS therefore be generous in promoting the Eng;lilh Choice as ihey arc to ours 
 and fave our Honor as a people, by voting for our Countryman De Salaberry, and 
 his refpedablc Colleague, John Young, often tried, but never found failing. "«
