 CANADA'S MARTYRS— ROYAL MERCY! ROB THE PEO 
 PLE FIRST, [D- THEN MURDER 'EVt FOR DEFENDING 
 THEMSELVES.— Tho reader will find the executions in Canada very 
 like each other. The picture before him will represent the deaths of Lynn 
 and Bedford, Perley and Cunningham, or Clark and Doan, at London — 
 Woodruff &, Abbey, Buckley & Lawton, or Von Schoultz &, George at Fort 
 Henry — Lount & Matthews, Toronto— Do Lorimicr & Hindenlang at Mont, 
 real — Baird & Hardy, Stirling — James Moreau at Niagara — or if he pleases 
 to look back to the times of the great revolution, it will e.xiiibit the diatii of 
 Isaac Hayncs of S. C. and hundreds of brave men like him. At Toronto 
 and elsewhere, Indian savages were often employed to guard the scaffolds, 
 and the plate exhibits them acting in that capacity, while the prisoners arc 
 looking through the bars of their bastiles wondering who will be the next 
 victim. (See cases to which this engraving has reference, in the Caroli.ie

 Englikh Govehnmki^t in Canada.— On Sunday evening, (Nov. lltli, 183?, 
 MartininasB,) the whole of tho back country above linprairie presented the awful 
 iipcctacle of one vast sheet of turiil flame, and it it» reported that not a single rebt i 
 house has been left standing. God only knows what is tobecomoof the surviving 
 Canadians and their wives and fanjilicsdurnigthe approaching winter, asnoihin;: 
 but starvation from hunger and cold stares them in tho face. The history of thi; 
 
 East proves that nothinu but sweeping them from the cnrlhand laying their ha- 
 itations level with the dust, will prevent renewed rebellions south of the Si, 
 Lawrence. The Canadians in the rebellious districts, whose houses have been 
 given to the flames, and who have escaped the bullet, the bayonet or the pris'in, 
 are doomed to perish in the woods, for in the United States they can expect no 
 assistance." — Muntrcnl Herald^ ton/ goveraintnf journal. 
 
 English Government in New Kngland. — "It will be a record that must ren- 
 der the Hritidli name odious in .'\merica to the latest gem-rations. In that 
 record will be found the burning of tho fine towns of Charlestown, near 
 Boston; of Falmouth, just before winrer, when the sick, the aafd, the women and 
 children were driven to seek shelter where they could hardly find it ; of Norfolk, 
 in the midet of winter ; of New London, of Fairfield, of Ksopus, &c. ; besides near 
 a hundred and fifty miles of well-settled country laid waste; every house and 
 barn burnt, and many hundreds of farmers, with their wives and children, 
 butchered and scalped. — Doctor Jicvjainin FrnnkUii'ii description of En glisk 
 Goternment in America, vol. 1, page 46!^ of Ids works. 
 
 Eighteen nuNnnEn and twelve. — While the formal relations of amity remain- 
 ed yet unbroken — while peace was yet supposed to exist — in cold blood an unpro- 
 volied attack is mado upon one of your national ships, and several American citi-- 
 zens basely and cowardly murdered. At the inoment when your feelings were 
 at the highest [)itch of irritation in consequence of the perfidious disavowal of 
 Erskine's agreement, a minister is sent, not to minister to your rights — not toex- 
 tenuate the conduct of his predecessor — but to beard your Execuiive — to add in- 
 sult to injury ; and to fling contumely and reproach in the face of the Executive 
 of the American nation, in the presence of ihe American people. To cap the cli- 
 max of her iniquity, England resolved to persist in the wicked, the odious and de- 
 testable practice ot impressing American seamen into her service— of entombing 
 our sons within tiie walls of her ships of war; compelling them to waste ihetr 
 lives, and spill their blood in tho service of a foreign government — a practice 
 whicli subjected every American tar to the violence and petty tyranny of a British 
 midsliipuian, and many of them *^ a life of the most galling servitude. Under 
 such accumulated circumstance^ suit and of injury, what was your govern- 
 
 menttodo'? Was it basely an; "io'.sly to abandon the rights for which you 
 
 and your fathers fought and bleo .tas it so early to cower to the nation which 
 had sought to strangle us in our infancy, and which has never ceased to retard our 
 approach to manhood'/— iV//-. Van Barents Address to the People of the State of 
 New York, 1813. 
 
 English Government in America, 1776. — When a long train of abuses and 
 usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them 
 [the people] to absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their duty, to throw otV 
 such a Government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such 
 has been the patient sutFerance of these colonies. The history of the present 
 King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having 
 indirect object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. He 
 has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitu- 
 tions, and unacknowledged by our laws ; giving his assent to their acts of pretend- 
 ed legislation. For abolishing the free system of Ensliah laws iu a neighboring 
 province, [Canada,] establishing^ therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging 
 Its boundaries, so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument, for in- 
 troducing the same absolute rule into these colonies. For quartering large bodies 
 of armed troops among us : For protecting them by a mock trial, from 
 punishment, for any murdera they should commit on the inhabitants of 
 these States: For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world: — 
 For imposing taxes on us without our consent: For depriving us in many 
 GBsee, of the benefits of trial by jury: He has excited domestic insurrection 
 amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, 
 the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistin-

 JAN. 2. 1719. Law's Bank tiiie day taken on account of the King and Royal Bank 
 of France. Law proposed to make the forms, the factories, the commerce, and the 
 internal improvements of France, the basis of paper currency. Law established his 
 Bank in 171G. The general Banking Law of New York State is partly on the same 
 principle, andsoditl Mr. Biddic propose to make the United States Bank fortius nation. 
 Law ruined the French finances ana beggared the people for a generation. And why i* 
 it that the fixed capital or property of this nation cannot be permanently changed into 
 circulating medium, or money, a measure of value ? — Because until other nations shall 
 agree that the fixed capital of every nation shall be turned into currency, any one na- 
 tion (say the United States) enjoying extensive foreign commerce, which shall adopt 
 Law's plon, will be involved in misery the moment the currency becomes depreciated, 
 as it .surely will be. Other nations will not take your Bank Bills for differences paya- 
 ble in money, and if you have no cash your situation will not be enviable. When a 
 landed proprietor wants money, he mortgages or sells h s estate, and thereby gets mo- 
 ney from tliose who have it. If his estate were money the sale oi mortgage would 
 n )t be necessary. Ho attempt to make it both one and t'other, as in the general Bank- 
 ing Law of New Y^ork, must fail, thffrefore, and prove rumous to thousands. — 1838,

 Midland District, Upper Canada, arrested for treason. 
 
 1798. Bankof England— ThiB inlamoua scheme of carrying on wars by 
 taxing posterity and turning credit into capita!, had its origin at this time, under 
 similar circumstances to these which occaeioned the re-chartering of the Bank of 
 the United States. A war had closed, cash was scarce, and this dreadful resource 
 was resorted to. Before paper money was introduced (at this time) into Eng- 
 land, the revenue raised by taxes yearly from the nation was about 11 millions of 
 dollars — now it is 250 millions ! / Cobbett told the truth when he declared that 
 " the working classes of England are indebted to the paper money system for the 
 principal portion of the miseries they presently suffer," — and tnesame remark 
 might be made in the United States. The BanK<>f England was a scheme of the 
 Whigs, and its capital was lent to King William's Government before it went into 
 operation, in thosame way as the first SOA.OOO dollars paid into the Bank of the 
 United States was lent to James Madison's Government. In a few years (see 
 Cheves's statement) the Bank of the United States was within a few thousand 
 dollars of bankruptcy. So of the Bank of England ; its notes were worth twen- 
 ty dollars in the hundred less than silver before it was five years in operation, and 
 the government due bills at 40 per cent, discount, when they were funded, for 
 posterity to pay, at 8 per cent, interest, equal to about 13 per cent, on gold and sil- 
 ver. The Bank of England aided that crazy tyrant George 111. materially in hi» .

 chequer, stated in the English Housu of Commons, in debate on the nation* 
 al debt, that " tho Bank n^striction of 1797, which had continued fur aquar* 
 t tcr of a century, had produced more calamitous consequences, more confu- 
 I sion, more moral and political evils, than any other measure parliatnent had 
 ; ever sanctioned." In this opinion, Mr. Goulborn, then Chanuelloi of tho Ez« 
 chequer fully concurred. Would America desire to inherit the like evils by 
 ' departing from a specie standard ! 
 
 1 JAN. ;J. 1777. Battle of Princetown.— 1838. A Lockpnrt, IJ. Y., Orand Jury, in- 
 I diet .Sir Allan N Macnab. and his (•(jinpanions. for the Sclilossor iiiurdcr, viz: — Sir 
 I Allan Napier Macnab, Speaker of the House of Assembly — John MoHier. foniierly 
 ; Csptain of the Niagara .Steamer— Thomas (should be Shei>hard) McCormick — Ea- 
 ^ ward Zealand — George (l)y mistake called) James Chalmers, merchant, Trafalgar — 
 Edgeworth Usiier (since shot I believe) — Angus McLeod — Jared F. Jurvis (an error 
 ; in tne Xtian name) — RoUdnd McDonald, tory lawyer, St. Catharines — John B. War- 
 ren — William Warren — Peter Kigley, ikc. — Finlayson of Cobour^, Capt. J. Arnold, 
 and Hon. John Elmsley were in the boats. At a large public rneetmg in Lockporl, it 
 was resolved, that — If eighty armed men, (waiting tlie signals of spies employed for 
 the purpose of giving information where their victims were sleeping| attacking tliirty 
 men unarmed, in their sleep, and massacring them indiscriminately, disregarding their 
 cries for mercy, is a "gallant affair," Macnab's assassins are entitled to the name of 
 "heroes." The conduct of the petty tyrants of Upper Canada towards American ci- 
 tizens, their t'oul abuse of our officers, and their dec led abhorrence of our Republican 
 form of Government, is no more than whatmi^hibe expected from those who by their 
 arbitrary conduct have driven their own subjects to rebellion; have boniahed their 
 most able and upright statesmen, and after having declared martial law, are gratifying 
 tlieir cruel and vindictive feelings by incarcerating and starving all who dare to mur- 
 mur at tlieir lawless acts of oppression. 
 
 It is tlie RoUand McDonell indicted at Lockport, of whom Mr. Parker speaks in 
 his Journal, thus : — " We touched at Lancaster, and arrived at the Coteaa do Lac 
 just before dark. We met many on the wharf who knew me, and among other per- • 
 sons, R. McD., of St. Catharines, who mentioned the defeat of the Canadians and 
 the burning of their villages, saying "that to destroy the crows, the only way was to 
 extenninate the young ones and tlieir nesta." Altliough they forced us to remain on 
 deck in the rain and cold, we got some boiled potatoes and crackers of the steward. 
 The pilot (a Frenchman) in speaking of the burning of the villages and the destruc- 
 tion of families and property, cried like a child. In reciting the tale of wo, how wo- 
 men and children had to fly before their persecutors, he said " what can the poor 
 Canadians do— no pork, no bread, no house, no homo !" 1838 — Pelsr Malcolm, yeo- 
 man, confined 9 months, charged with rebellion, found guilty. — 1839. Seven Cans. 
 dians condemned to be strangled at Montreal, after a mock trial by the English 
 standing guillotine court. 
 
 EDUCATION.— The great bankers, merchants, and monopolists wish to see 
 their sons filling all the high and honorable poSts in the Republic, hence we per- 
 ceive, that whatever party may be in power, there is a great deal of talk about aid- 
 ^ ing and extending general education and common schools; but very little done. 
 j* If governors and senators could do it all by speeches, wc would have plenty of 
 •; them ; but there they stop. Our monopoly made gentry educate their own sons 
 in a superior manner, out of the wealth their grinding despotism acquires out of 
 the folly of the many — tliis they do with a view of having them exclusively fit lor 
 first rate stations. Hitherto the democratic system has counteracted the designs 
 of this spirit of monopoly, but the people should beware. Education to all and 
 Equal Rights, stantl and fall together. No man can perceive at one view the evils 
 
Carolint Ahnanac, and 
 
 which may result to a people fmm that sort of Icgislntiun ond judicial intrigue 
 which has for its object the enriching of afuw at the i-xpcnseof a whole people. 
 
 Abb Wc Opposed to Banks?— By no means. They nro very nnpfiil in their 
 place, for Icndinc iho inonoy nf ihos« who really hnvo inonuy to li-nd— and for 
 trnnsfprrin^ lai>»<! nniuiints of money in ih« eoHiesI, rheapcst, ond best monnor

 verted into the host of Snviiit;^ HnnkH, yiddmg interest on dcttosite.-i, nnd e,xariing 
 it on loans. To adopt them for these objcris, tlir-y Bhoiiln bo allowed to issue 
 notes of •t2.'i and upwards (nd in Rnvland), but none below that, nnd real money 
 should be broui^ht into universal circulation in all thcsrnnll nnd domestic dealings 
 of society. Tliisis the wny they do business among the ihirty-nix millions ot 
 Frenchmen, where the Bankn in Paris alone, hold noio 100 millions in specie, 
 which thecountrv does not require, although no Bank note circulates there of a 
 lest value than $100. 
 
 JAN. 4. 183S. "No Prisoner*"' was MrNob's wstch word on this and ane other 
 flight, opposite Navy Island, and it was resolved by the officers to put every living 
 creature on the island to death when they tfwk it.— 1»?:J0. Tliis m irning Chcistopher 
 Buckley, of Onondatja Co.; Sylvester A. LKWton, of Homv-fielil, Jeflerson Co.; Uus- 
 sell Plielps, of Wntortnwii; mid iJuncan AiulcrHioii, of P nnolla, N. Y., I'rescotl pri- 
 sonerfl, jjiiHant and qpiierous uumi, wore escorted by tlin hireling soldiers of Enpland 
 from Fort Henry to tlie front ot tlie Court Hou^e, kip'?ston, U. C, and butchered in 
 cold blood, in tlie inidi<t of the Canada snows. They were hung two at a time. Colo- 
 nel Dundas and his othcers enjoying the scene. In the eveninjj there was a ball and 
 great reioicings. These men had no trial according to the laws of Canada. Arthur 
 Bclcctod some 12 or 15 of his creatures, militia olhcers, bade thein try and sentence 
 the Americans, and tliey did ho, without Judge or Jur^-. When will tliese horrid 
 murders be avenged! — Lord Norbury assa-ssinated by .n unknown person, in Ire- 
 land. 
 
 JAN. .■5. 1(?39. Von Schonltz^a murder sanctioned by the bloody Queen of 
 Eneland. — Lord Glenelg, .'secretary of State, acknowledges Arthur's account of the 
 verdict of his militia divan to hang the gallant Von Schouftz, the leader of the brave 
 band at Pre.scott. And adcU — " You also enclose a copy of the warrant for his exe- 
 cution, whicli \()u havo directed to be carried into effect on the 8th ultimo. Her Ma- 
 jesty's government ENTIRELY AGREE ii> the necessity of allov^ring THE LAW 
 to take Its course in this iiiatance." (Signed) GLENELG. Von Schoultz never had 
 a trial by law. A dozen of the militia officers opposed to Canadian freedom asiiem- 
 bled in a room and said " hang the Pole, " and he was hung accordingly. — 1781. Be- 
 nedict Arnold destroys Richmond. — lf:<8. Mr. Secretary Forsyth acquaints Mr. Fox 
 the English Agent, tfiat the L'. S. would demand redress for " the destruction of pro- 
 perty, and assassination of Citizens of die United Stutea, on the soil of New York,'' 
 at Schlosser. 
 
 JAN. 6. 1838. John Haling, U. C, arrested for treason, and banished to the U. S. 
 
 Wkat it meant by Constitutional Treasury, Independent Treasury and Sub' 
 Trca-^jtry?— The meaning of the term as used by the Government, is Trcasii- 
 ries, like the Mint, where the money of the people, raiswi from them for the public 
 uses by law would be kept in vaults and iron chests, in the care of officers ap- 
 pointed by the President, with consent of the Senate of the U. S.,(both President 
 and Senate being chosen by the people to watch their treasure) ; snid officers to 
 
 five ample security for its safely, and be liable to fine and two years in States 
 rison, if they embezzled or used a dollar of it, unlef's by authority of a law of 
 Congress, which is the expressed will of the people. Under a Constitutional Trea- 
 sury system the Banks would have no interest in bribing editors to defend and 
 congressmen to vote new and heavy taxes and loans to burthen the people, bo- 
 cause the Banks would no longer obtain the money so raised to speculate with. — 
 Under the National Bank system the Bank gave no security for the safe keeping 
 of the public treasure but lent it to whomsever the Directors pleased, made inter- 
 est on it out of the people whose it was, and when the Government and Congress 
 wanted more of their own money than the Bank chose to let thetn have, the 
 Bank would not even allow the Government Directors to investigate its affairs.

 E.soLisH GovEnN.MENT IN Inpia. — The erindingoppressionsof that great mo- 
 nopoly, the English East India Company [the English Aristocratic Government 
 in one of its most cruel and unfeeling forms, J have reduced the miserable inhabit- 
 ants to ihe scantiest pittance. Millions uf them m former periods have died of 
 starvation in the streets and fields, so that at limes the atmosphere was poisoned 
 with the noxious effluvia of unburied human carcasses. The climate is so mild 
 that very little clothing is indispensiblo; and rice, the food of the wretched labor- 
 er, is easily cultivated, and therefore cheap. And the wages of labor is depressed 
 to 2id. a day. — Young^s Report on Finance, 1839.

 Pathetic Petition of an Indian Lady.— The following petition was published 
 many years ago in England. It is one of the most hcart-meltingappeals weever 
 read, and wotild have softened the heart of any man but Warren Hastings. The 
 catastrophe was rendered more shocking, from the fact, that the only crime of 
 the husband was patriotic hostility to the enemies and despoilers of his native 
 country. A petition not less affecting, was delivered by the wife of the unfortu- 
 nate Lount, to Sir George Arthur, imploring him to spare her husband, but with 
 as little effect on that criiel tyrant, who was urged to dip his hands in innocent 
 blood by Chief Justice Robinson, C. A. Hagcrman, and his Executive Council, 
 Allan, Elmsley, Baldwin, Sullivan, and Draper. 
 
 A literal translation of the petition presented to the governor-general, Hastincs, 
 
 by the wife of Almas Aii Cawn, oneof the native princes of India, in behalf ol her 
 
 husband, who was seized and put to death for political purposes : 
 
 " To the high and mighty servant of the most power ful Prince George, King of 
 
 England, the lowly and humble slave of misery, comes praying for mercy 
 
 to the father of her children, 
 
 "Most "mighty Sire,— may the blessings of thy God wait on thee: may the 
 gates of plenty, honor and happiness be ever open to thee and thine : may no sor- 
 rows distress thy days, may no grief disturb thy nights; may the pillow of peace

 /« tke pasmtge of a late to e:tt(iM!iih a Couftilutional Trcamirt/ essential to the 
 indrpeiidaicc of the country nnd the stability of the Union ?--T*ho money of the 
 country ninst be kept somewhere. If the people aro capable of sclf-ijovernment, 
 they a ■ as capable of appointing diacrect persons to guard iho chest with the 
 public iicasurc as a (miscalled) National Bank, th« majority of the real Stockhold- 
 ers of which would bo forcisjn persons, speculating persons, gamblers in stocks and 
 fmblic lands, nnd persons in trade, who would, as hitherto, endeavor to monopo- 
 i»e or regulate the staples of the country, cotton, grain, Ac, to their own advan- 
 tage; and, holding the purse, detormino whether it would suit their private inter- 
 est best to give to Congress the means of defending the nation, or use those meona 
 to corrupt its ablest orators. If thepeoplo's money is placed in a National Hank, 
 it will not be there when wanted ; but if it be deposited in a well regulated Con- 
 stitutional Treasury, the funds necessary for the public defence will be at the 
 oommand of the n.'ition, to enable it viu;orou»ly to prosecute any FOREIGN 
 WAR into which it may be forced for the maintenance of the national honor, 
 rights and welfare. At the close of the last war, the United States Government 
 was greatly distressed in its finances, owing to the uncertainty caused by a mass 
 of irredeomalile paper money with which the Banks had flooded the U. S, To 
 relieve itself it re-chartered the U. S. Bank, a combination of gamblers and spe- 
 culators. The Bank was to go into operation on the first day of January, 1817. 
 To such a pitch had these embarrassments reached, that the Government with 
 twenty millions o( paper dollars in the Treasury, was obliged to borrow, in ad- 
 vance of the public operations of the Bank, half a million of the specie paid towards 
 the first instalment, m order to avoid tho forfeiture of the public faith, by providing 
 for the dividends due on that day in Boston on the public debt, as none of the 
 public p(7pcr money could effect payments in that city.

 tire, food, bed or bedding, to pass the night in a cell the windows of which alVordcd 
 no protection against the inclemency of the pitiless weather. As might be expected, 
 the poor man could not long bear up against such inhumanity as this. He was dis-

 and way he will take vengeance. As now with greedy and aci-urseil England, so of 
 old with the Honums did the accurH»'d thirst forcxtended empire induce Agricola with 
 his victorious legi<ins from Konie, to pursue the poor but i)rave (^'alefloninns under 
 Galga<;us, their heroic leader, to the skirts of the Grampians, where 10, ()()() of our 
 brave ancestors were slaughtered, and offered up on the altar of an unbridled ambi- 
 tion. The Scotch then, like the Canadians last winter, were very brave, but they 
 were like them too, undiHciplined and poorly armed, so the Romans lost only :t40. Over 
 the face of the country, says Tacitus, no inhabitant was to be seen — their homes were 
 smoking ruins, like thousands of C'anada not long ago. Agricola civilized the Britons, 
 but our mort; barbarous compierors seize t!ie schools and colleges and halls of Icfj^s- 
 loture, and convert them into barrai-ks and banouetting rooms — amuse themselves 
 with shooting the natives in the streets on the occasKui of the fare*-, ofa popular election 
 —and having trampled upon every other liberty, conclude by aunihdating the free- 
 dom of th» press.

 as the majority of the poor are impoverished. His h t speech is likely to prore true, 
 "I am about to leave you," said he, "and when I am gone, and my warnings shall be 
 no longer heard or regarded, the craft and avarice of the white man will prevail. Ma- 
 ny winters have I breasted the storm, but I am an aged tree, and can stand no longer. 
 My leaves are fallen, niv branches are withered, and I am shaken by every breeze. 
 Soon my aged trunk will be prostrate, and the foot of the exulting foe of the Indian 
 may be placed upon it in safety ; for I leave none who will be able to avenge such an 
 indignity. Think not I mourn for myself. I go to join the spirits of my futlicrs, where ; 
 age cannot come; but my heart fails when I tliink of my people, who are soon to be i 
 scattered and forgotten." 
 
 JAN. 21. 1793, Louis 16th, King of France beheaded. (His nobility and titled

 JAN. 23. 1838, Lord Brougham persuades the House of Lords to stop a bill to 
 introduce the principle of limited partnerships, registration of partners, and investing 
 a great manv small sums in trade, to be under the management of a few whom the 
 others could not check. He said it was unfavorable to honesty, and he was right.

 JAN. 25. 1759, Robert Burns, the poet of nature, bom in Ayrshire, Scotland, end 
 remained through life a true democrat and a friend to equal rights : at one time he in-

 Wkat consequences would ensue to the finances of these States, were this coun- 
 try suddenly forced into a war with England, before a lawis enacted to give the 
 people's elected servants the whole control of the public revenue ? — Every Bank- 
 ing concern in the Union would suspend the pavment of its debts in money the 
 moment war was declared. The country would be flooded with paper promises 
 which could be turned into silver at a discount of 5, 10, 15, 25, 30, or 40 dollars in 
 the hundred, and the rt.il value of auch promises (or Bank Notes) would be un- 
 known. Contractors would be unable to decide what proposals to make to go- 
 vernment, for they would not know what paper they might be paid in. In one 
 port the duties would be paid in Bank Notes, 30 per cent, below par; in another 
 port at 5, thus taxing importers unequally. If Government received for taxes the 
 Notes of pet Banks, or of all Banks, the public would be deceived. If it refused to 
 do so, every press the Bank owners could bribe, subsidize, or influence, would 
 slander the government, and in ndditition to war abroad, there would be a still 
 more rapacious enemy to combat at home. In case of a war the revenue from 
 imported goods would decrease three-fold, and the expense of the nation increase 
 perhaps ten-fold. Government would have to borrow. The Bankers would lend 
 It broken bank notes and take its bonds to pay back principal and interest in silver 
 and gold; these bonds they would sell to foreigners, who would afterwards carry 
 off the specie, which is the life's blood of a country. These evils a Constitutional 
 Treasury would prevent, by securing the public against Bank intrigue, and equal- 
 izing all payments in one known and unalterable currency. 
 
 JAN. 26. 1827. A corrupt .iouse of Assembly, U. C. pass a bill to declare all set- 
 tlers from the United States Aliens, incapable of holding land or exercising civil 
 rights until they would solemnly abjure all allegiance to. and all right, title and inter- 
 est in their native land, in which case they were allowed to hold land and be subjects, 
 in part, in U. C. only. Thi.. oath of abjuration to be recorded. A committee of four

 SLAVERY IN THE U. S.— How is la to be got rid of? When slavery was 
 about to be abolished in the north, many persons went and sold their slaves to 
 planters in the south. These persons are ready to abolish slavery. How would 
 they do it ? By forcing the southern etates to emancipate their slaves? That

 Vhen slavery was 
 d their slaves to 
 ry. How would 
 ir slaves? That 
 
 would bfl the signal for a dissolution of this hapuy union, an event which Endand 
 earnestly seeks to bring about, and which would be fraught with misery and woe 
 to mankind. Does the abolitionist believe that by filling the minds of the blacks 
 with sentiments of hatred and revenge against their masters, and putting the lat- 
 ter in continual fear of asoassination, this great good is to be brougnt about 7 No 
 sincere follower of Christ will say so. England has given more personal liberty 
 to her West India slaves of late. Why has she done this7 is her motive benev- 
 olent'? Had it been so she would have refused to deliver over the Lower Cana- 
 dians, whom she acknowledges to be the most peaceful, moral, and kindly pea- 
 santry in the world, to slavery, murder, rapine, robbery, burning, bonishmcnt, 
 and utter destitution. They were free. She forced them into slavery because 
 they earnestly prayed for justice !— for leave to educate their children !! To the 
 millions in Britain and Ireland, too, the cruelty of ihc English Government is pro - 
 verbial — so too in India. A number are emancipated in the West Indies, becauss 
 it is hoped thereby to weaken and divide the southern States, and break up the 
 first federal union of popular sovereignties in America. What then would you pro- 
 pose 7 Let these sincere philanthropists who desire to better the condition of the 
 slave, end remove this great blot from the escutcheon of America consult the Sa- 
 viour's golden rule, and do unto the southern planters as they would wish to be 
 done by. were they situated as their southern brethren now are. Obtain the con- 
 sent of the slaves states to the followmg proposition: —That a law be passed in 
 Congress authorizing the purchase of the freedom of the whole colored race, upon 
 any fair principle of valuation ; let the nation give its bonds to the several slave- 
 owners for the amount; and let the interest, and gradually the principal, be paid, 
 by a direct or other tax, fairly and equally laid on the whole union, of all races and 
 colors. Le: slaves be admitted to the elective franchise, according as the several 
 states may decide, but only when they can read and write, and are shewn to be 
 qualified to perform the duties of freemen. Any attempt to remove slavery, ex- 
 clusively at the expense of the slave-owners, will be likely to cause difficulties yet 
 mi-re formidable than even slavery itself. Slavery is recognized by the federal 
 constitution, and slave-owners give hundreds of thousands of votes for federal of 
 ficers because they ere slave owners. But let the whole union put its shoulder to 
 the wheel and slavery will soon cease to exist. Monarchists and all enemies of 
 "he honest democratic principle will cry out against slavery in the Stales, hut this 
 or any other peaceful and equitable mode of getting rid of it, in a brothei.y way, 
 they will also object to, beoiusa they love tyranny. TheUnited States Congress 
 And federal courts, and the several state courts and legislatures have continually 
 sanctioned the purchase and sale of slaves, insuchstatesas chose to deal in slaves, 
 from the 4th of July, 1776, till now. If then they have madeit lawful to buyand 
 sell and hold a property in man, the true remedy is, for the whole public to' pur- 
 chase the freedom of the whole of the slaves, set them free, and let all classes bear 
 alike their fair share of the burthen. England, in the case of Jamaica, has paid 
 for the slaves, and surely those quakers, independents, presbyterians, baptists, Ac. 
 who are foremost in crying out against the sin of slavery, should be the first to do 
 by the southerns as they would desire to be done by. When it was proposed by 
 Mr. Van Buren and others, to permit Missouri to come into the Uuion, only on 
 the principle of abolishing slavery. Clay and Harrison voted it down— Clay gave 
 a casting voice against the free principle. The majority of the people of the 
 Union went with Clay and Harrison against Van Buren. Having authoiizcd the 
 citizens of Missouri to buy, sell, hold and convey slaves, the only honorable pro- 
 position the nation can make to Missouri for abolishing slavery is, that all men 
 join as one and buy the bondsmen and bondswomen, set them free, and then place 
 slavery beyond the pale of the constitution in all time to come. The whole works 
 of "internal improvement" hitherto cried 'ip, are but as a drop iu the bucket when 
 compared with this. It would take off many taxes, and cost the nation scarcely 
 SI each person yearly, and if Canada come into the Uuion let her people bear their 
 sh^re of the impost for so benevolent a purpose. Public Debt and Negro Slavery 
 are evils, as England and the United States have shown. You have two aJternatives, 
 and, ve think, only two, 5;;;^Debt or l^'Slavery.

 foolish people who incorporate them ? — First, by exacting 6 or 7 per cent, ol 
 tax fortlie use of their miserable notes orshinplastcrs, which cost them notli.l 
 ing — Secondly, by suspending specie payments, collecting all the silver ancl 
 gold in the country for their notes, and in payments and dcposites, and thcrJ 
 selling it to those who must mukc payments abroad — Thirdly, by the vastf 
 sums paid to their favorite lawyers as law costs on their short loans — FourllJ 
 ly, by the power they obtain to make their paper money scarce or ])lcntiful| 
 when they please — Fifthly, by their using the monopoly power to bend tliej

 and thus to destroy popular rights — Sixthly, by their frequent bankruptcies/ 
 80 ruinous to those who having deposited :9pocie with them receive back shiii.l 
 plasters which a broker pays cash for at a loss of — say $15 in the $100. Inj 
 U. C. now, the banks pay no specie for their notes. The effect is this. Thel 
 government get gold and silver from England to pay" the soldiers — this moT 
 ney Sir George Arthur & Co. exchange at the Banks for their bankrupt pro! 
 mises, and with these the troops are paid. The bank notes at length cornel 
 into the hands of merchants, farmers and tradc»inen ; and as the most of itl 
 has to be paid out to Europe and these States, where sucli notes are in had! 
 repute, the exporters carry it totlie banks who buy their own notes at 90 toj 
 96 dollars in specie for the 100 dollars in paper, althou<jh perhaps tiicy receiv. 
 ed the silver so paid over, dollar for dollar, in silver tlie day before from Ar. 
 thur. Who loses by this? The people. The price of every thing is raised j 
 4 to 10 per cent, higlierthan it would be if the silver were paid to the troopsl 
 at once instead of being exchanged with these rogues of bankers. Bat doiibt.l 
 less Sir George is paid his share of the plunder, and so it is wherever nuisan.I 
 ces are incorporated by fools to multiply genteel knaves and pickpockets.

 1839, This day waH introduced into the U. S. Senate, by 'Ion. Sil 
 Wright, a bill for an INDEPENDENT TREASURY, diffbrinir only inn 
 details from that which the U. uf R. threw out in June. This bill \. assed tl 
 Senate. — § 1, provides llial the collectors of the customs at Boston, N. Yor! 
 Philadelphia, New OrlcanR, Charleston and Baltimore shall return very clei 
 and detailed accounts to four different officers of government every week.- 
 § 2. All receipts for money paid are to bo registered by the naval officer ai 
 t»ie port of entry. — §3. The Register of the Treasury is to give due notice o 
 warrants granted by him.- -^4. All other collectors than the above four ar' 
 to make four monthly returns of their transactions. — ^7. Receivers of lam 
 revenue are to make foiir weekly statements in detail to certain offices 
 government.— § 8. Registers of the land office are to send weekly eheci 
 Gtatemonts. — ^9. Clerks of the U. S. District Courts are to forward details 
 monthly returns of cash in their hands for government. 10. Other rcvenu'j 
 officers are to make four monthly returns, the Post Office Department excepi 
 ted. 12. Tiie officers of State are to examine said returns and report month 
 ly. 14. Balances at each quarter's end unpaid, are to be reported for prose 
 cution. 15. The treasury accounting officers must examine and settle ac 
 counts within six weeks after they receive them. 16. Naval oiUcura to ac 
 as checks on the Collectors. 17. The Secretary of the Treasury is to cam 
 the books and papers of certain receivers of public money to be cxamin 
 carefully once a year or ofTtener, and when Congress shall direct, also tli 
 bonds, and money on hand. 18. The Secretary of the Treasury, with thi 
 President's approbation, may take additional security from revenue officers] 
 and cause them to renew, strengthen or increase their sureties at his discn 
 tion. § 19, is essentially the same as the 20th or last § of the bill throwr^ 
 out in the H. of R., about keeping a record of the kind of money or currenc] 
 received by each collector, with penalties and so forth. ^ 20. Improper fci 
 or gratuities not to be accepted for performance of services, under penalty u| 
 fine and imprisonment. 21 to 26 consists of directions about modes 
 keeping books, per centages, appointment of clerks, &.c. 
 
 In his message of Sept. 5, '37, to Congress, Mr. Van Buren says, that tei 
 millions of silver dollars would transact the whole of the government bu8i> 
 iiess of receipts and payments, adding that to retain baiik notes in the publii 
 treasury, would be to renew the old system of lending the revenue to tin 
 bankers. But (be treasury bills we have described as before Congress dc 
 not contemplate that gold, silver and government due bills only shall be r& 
 oeived and paid out by the rcycnue officers. They leave to the President 
 the pewer he now wields of receiving, paying and keeping on hand bank 
 notes — they enable his officers, unless otherwise ordered by a treasury circu. 
 lar, to favor one bank more than another, by putting its paper in circulation 
 exchanging it, &c. — But in case the banks fail, they authorize the presideni 
 to hold out a boon to some of the ablest banking institutions, that their notei 
 will be taken instead of specie in case they resume cash payments. The 
 great powers the bills confer on the president and secretary of the treasury 
 these officers now possess, except as to the punishments, securities- vault: 
 and places of deposite. Government can now take and refuse such notes ai 
 it may think fit, or it may refuse all notes, and if it take any it may deposite 
 them in banks, or take bank notes and let the banks enjoy the interest while 
 the notes are in the treasury. The improvement consists chiefly in the pra 
 visions for the safe keeping of the cash or bank notes, which, in case of i 
 panic suspension, might enable the president to insist on specie without 
 riuch risque of the collectors Swartwouting. The main points, a gold and 
 i Uver curreneyi as in 1789 was by law ordered, and a total divorce of bank

 been gulled too long by the vulgar error that the sohlier murders his prisoners under 
 the sanction of a law ; and there cannot be a better time to bring the question to an 
 issue. Alas for the days of antique honor, when a military leader would answer to 
 an onlcr to employ his troops in murder, " Sire, there are here brave soldiers, gal

 1837. The Montreal Official Gazette contains Lord Gosrord's proclama. 
 tion that a law to prevent unfair dealing at Lower Canada Elections, pas. 
 Bed in March, 1834, assented to in the Kind's name by Lord Aylmer, print- 
 ed in the statute book, and acted on in 1835 and '36, had been ordered to 
 be blotted out and annulled by His Majesty (in 1837 ! !) because it made 
 against tiie British or loyal party. Of the French Canadians, Lord Aylmer, 
 tho British Governor, 'thus writes in 183 i ; " J cannot close ihia De*' 
 patch toithout performing what I conceive to be an act of justice ; and that 
 is to express to your Lordship my firm conviction that throughout the King't 
 vast dominions His Majesty no where possesses subjects more loyal and 
 true ihan the veople of Lower Canada.** People of America, wiiat has been 
 their reward from that robber monarchy 7 — 1&09. John Henry, agent to 
 Gov. Craig, for dividing the American Union, writes from Windsor, Vt. " It 
 is further ascertained that in case of a war, the Governor of Vermont will 
 tMe his influence to preserve the state neutral, and resist with all the force 
 he can command, any attempt to make it a party. I need not add that if 
 these resolutions are carried into effect, the State of Vermont may be consi. 
 dered an ally of Great Britain. 1 can only say that, the leading men of 
 the federal party act in concert; and therefore infer that a common senti. 
 ment pervades the whole body throughout New England.** 
 
 ¥&D, 15. 1839, Brigadier General, Charles Hindenlang, of the Canadian 
 Army of Liberty, a native of Paris, in France, sentenced to death, after a 
 mock trial, by a junto of English rufliians, of whom General Clitherow was the 
 head, and expired on t'le gallows this day at Montreal. This noble martyr 
 fur liberty had done exactly what Gen. Lnfayelte did, left hi:< home to aHtiist 
 the cause of freedom, and is honored by mankind for so doing. Gen. Hinden- 
 lang lefl France to aid the children ot France in a foreign land, and a morin. 
 ment will yet be raised to perpetuate the events which led to his marytrdoro. 
 He was 29 years of age, and brave as a lion. 
 
 1839. This day was also marked by the martyrdom at Montreal, of Francois 
 Nicolas, Teacher of Ste. Margnerite, aged 44; a young bnt very brave far. 
 mer, Amable Daunais, only in his 21st year; he had risen but once to rhace 
 Victoria's murderins bands from a land which they hold by the same right as 
 the highwayman hitjds the traveller's purse whom he has just murdered ; — 
 and Pierre Remi Narbonne, of St. Cyprian, whose feelings at pnrtmg with 
 his three lovely children no person can describe — these three sntf red in the 
 holy cause of civil and religious liberty, upholding their spotless and honorable 
 Houfle of Assembly, and following American example. 
 
 1839. With them, sulftired tho worst that cruel and baibarous Eng- 
 Idnd coalii mflict, an ignominious and painful death, in the bloom of 
 youth, the brave Chevalier DC LOlllMICR,, descended of an ancient and 
 honorable French family, and blessed with an amiable and lovely wife, and 
 three charming infant!!, the pride of his heart. He was in hi.4 35th year, a na- 
 tary public of Montreal, greatly respected by all. When this pious and af* 
 fectionate man was cut down from the gallows, a letter was found in his bo- 
 som, close to his heart, addressed to his poor distressed Harriet, of which we 
 give an extract : — "On this very day blood-thirsty assassins are tearing me 
 from your arms; they can never efface my remembrance from your he.irt ; of 
 that i am well convinced. They take away from you your support &, protector 
 and the father of your dear unfortunate children. Providence, together with 
 the friends of my country, shall provide for them. They have not even given 
 me time to see my two dear little girls, so that I could press them to my paler- 
 nal bosom, and give them a last farewell ; they have even deprived me of see. 
 ing my good old father, my brothers and sisters, to bid them an eternal adieu. 
 Ah ! cruel thought ! ! ! Nevertheless, I flirsive them with all my heart. As

 that if from the eiherial world, it were permitted to me still to aid and protect 
 you, I should bind up your broken heurt. My dear little children will be de- 
 prived uf my caresses but they will be doubly caressed by yoa, no that they 
 may not feel the deep loss tliey shall have to mourn over. I shall see yoa na 
 more in this world. O what a thought ! ! ! But you, my dear Harriet, you 
 
 nmy see me once more and for the last lime ; then I shall be cold ina- 
 
 ni(n<ile disfijfured dead. I finish, my dear Harriet, by 
 
 otfering to the eternal God, the most sincere prayers for yoor comfort and hap- 
 piness, and that of my dear little chi'dren. Yesterday Evening you received 
 my last embraces, and my lust verbal adieu ; nevertheless, from my cold, 
 damp and lonely cell, with all the pr-parutions uf death before me, I give yoa 
 my last, last farewell." 
 
 " We have been thus fur anfortanate. Death has cat oiT several of my 
 brother laborers ; many of them ar^^ in chains, and a stillgreater naniber in ex- 
 ile, their prop«r!iea destroyed, and their families abandoned without succor, to 
 all the rigors of a C<inadi-in winter. The wounds of my bleeding country 
 shall be healed. After the disasters of anarchy and a bloody revolution, the 
 pe;iceful Canadian will behold on the borders of the St. Lawrence, the revival 
 of liberty and hippiness. Every thing tends to that end, even the executions 
 on the scaflfjid ; the blood and the tears shed on the a't ir of liberty this day, 
 will moifiien the roots ofthe tree upon which will be unfurled the flag embla- 
 zoned with the two stars of Canada." 
 
 FEB. 15. 1691, Another SchlosserUi English Oovemment in Scotland, — 
 Massacre of Glencoe. — Altliough William of Orange was crowned King of England, 
 the Scottish Highlanders, like the Irish, remained faithful to their oatlis to the exiled 
 monarch. William sent money to bribe tliem, but failed. Smollett, in his History. 
 tells us that King William had by proclamation oftercd an indemnity to all those who 
 had been in arms against him, provided they would submit, and take the oaths ; wi>. 
 a denunciation of milifary execution against those who should hold out after thee'-j 
 of December. Macdonald took the oaths, and so did ina adherents, and theyretu'.'n 
 ed to Glencoe valley, secure of British protection. They got it too, as all will who 
 trust in the merciless wretches who dispense it. King William hated tliese brava 
 men, and signed in London a warrant for their murder, witlioui trial. Colborne fash- 
 ion in Canada, Wellington fashion in India. This barbarous mandate, sealed and 
 i<igned with the royal hand '' was transmitted to tlie Master of Stair, Secretary for 
 Scotland, this minister ffcnt particular directions to Livingstone, who commanded the 
 troops in that kingdom, to put the inhabitants of Glencoe to the sword, charging him 
 to lake no prisoners, that the scene might be more terrible. In the month oT Febru- 
 ary, Captain Campbell, of Glenlyon, marched into the valley of Glencoe, with a com- 
 pany of soldiers belonging to Argyle's regiment, on pretence of levying the arrears of 
 the land-tax and heartli-monpy. When Macdonald .demanded whether they came as 
 friends or enemies, he answered, as ♦"'•iends, and promised, upon his honor, that neith- 
 er he nor his people should sustain the least injury. This otHcer and, his men were 
 then received with the most cordial hospitality, and lived fifteen days widi the men 
 of the vallev. in tlie most unreserved frieuclship. At length tbe fatal period ap- 
 proached. Macdonald and Campbell having padsed the day together, parted about 
 seven in the evening, with mutual professions of the warmest aflection. But the 
 young Macdonalds suspected something, and went out of the casde, the guards of 
 which were doubled. They overheard the coniinon soldiers say they liked not the 
 work ; that though tliey would have willingly fought the Macdonalds of the Glen 
 fairly in the field, they held it ba«e to murder tlicin in cool blood. When the youths 
 hasted back to apprise their failier of the impending danger, they saw the house al- 
 ready surrounded ; they heard the discharge of muskets, the shrieks of women and 
 children; and, being destitute of arms, secured their own lives by immediate flight. 
 The savage ministers of vonj^eance had entered the ol<l man's chamber, and shot him 
 through the head. He fell down dead in the arms of his wife, wiiv, died next day, 
 distracted. The Laird of Auchintriucken, Macdonald's guest, who iiad three months 
 before this period submitted to the government, sind at tins very time had a protection 
 in his pocket, was put to death withoi t question. \ !«oy of eiglu years, , who fell at

 Canipbell's feet, imploring mercy, and oiTering to serve him for life, was stabbed to 
 the heart by on« Drumniond, a subultcrn uflicer. Eiglil nndthirty persons suftered 
 in this manner, the greater part of whom were surprisinl in their beds, and liurricd 
 into eternity before they had time to implore the divine mercy. Tiie design was to 
 butcher airtlio males under seventy that lived in tiie valley, their number beintj SOO; 
 but some of the defaohmenta did not arrive soon enough to secure the posses ; bo that 
 160 escaped. Campbell, having perpetrated this brutal Miussiiacre, ordered all the 
 houses to be burned, made a prey of all the cattle and cftecta that were found in the 
 valley, and left the helpless women and children, whose fathers and husbands he had 
 murdered, naked and tbrlorn, witliout covering, food or shelter, in the midst of the 
 snow diat covered the whole face of the country, nt the distance of six long milea 
 from an/ inhabited pla(r'^. Distracted with grief and horror, surrounded with the 
 shades of night, shivering with cold, and appalled with the apprehension of immediate 
 death from Uie swords of those who had sacrificed their friends and kinsmen, they 
 generally perished in the waste, before they could receive condbrt or assistance. — 
 This barbarous massacre, performed under the sanction of King William's authori- 
 ty, answered the purpose of the Court, by striking terror into the hearts of the High- 
 landers : but excited the horror of all those who had not renounced every sentiment 
 of humanity."-|l8.18, Major Wm. Harrison, a gallant Canadian advanced in years, 
 and who led n Body of the Canadians on tlje Tuesday night, when they made such a 
 speedy and needless retreat from a blooiUess victory bai-k of Toronto, no one pursu- 
 ing, died this day, at Hunt's Hollow, U. S. He was a worthy man of estimable pub- 
 lic and private reputation, and his whole soul was wrapt up in delivering his country 
 from English bondage. The retreat of his comrades, ami dieir refusal to return to 
 the attack, broke his heart-^he went to his home, took to bed, was sought for by the 
 enemy, retreated to the U. S. and soon died of grief. He had a fine estate near the 
 city, but whedicr Arthur has allowed his family to remain on it we know not.i

 them in 1837, the'y passed Lord John Russell's resolutions violating it, and showing

 < MARCH 2. 1938, William Lesslie, merchant, Toronto, committed to Kingston 
 Jail charaed with hi<ih treason.^1781. The celebrated PENNSYLV.AMA 
 LINE MUTINY. They were chiefly Irishmen, gallant boys, wholoved to re- 
 venge Ireland's wrongb on America's enemies. But America was basely un- 
 grateful. They fought for the weaithy, the luxurious, the rich, who rioted in 
 wealth, while tneir brave defenders marked their road tracks with the blood ot 
 thi'ir shoeless feet. What did the rich care? When they mutinied Lo.-d Ho<ve 
 sent mesacngers to them promising every thing that a robber power vou!d give, 
 if they would but join bloody England— provisions, clothing, arrears of pay, par- 
 don for the past and bounties for the fut ire. But there was no Silas Deane, no 
 Kgerton Ryerson, no Arnuld, no Judas among them. They seized the King's 
 messengers, who were hiinjr, and continued to prefer poverty and liberty lo Bri- 
 tish gold. What an example to the greedy, speculating, gambling race of the pre- 
 sent day, who would grind to powder if they could the farmer and laborer ! It 
 was the subjects of English, French, and other monarchies who caincd this 
 country its independence. Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, and Jackson, were 
 British colonists born and bred; and "the native Americans" forget that among 
 the foreigners whose skill and valor freed the Union were Generals Lnfav'ttlv, 
 Lee, Gates, Stewart, Montgomery, Pulaski, Kosciusko, Mercer, Stfuben, Dekalb, 
 McPherson, St. Clair, Mnlcolm'. Hamilton, not forgetting Charles Thompson, 
 Judge Wilson, Thomas Paine. Wm. Finlay, Dr. Wiiherspoon, and hundri>ds of 
 others. Matthew Carey tells us in his Olive Branch, that in 1813- 11, Philadel|ihia 
 was threatened with an invading foe; thousands of citizens from a distance vo- 
 lunteered for its defence, leaving their homes and tht'ir families, to protect the ci- 
 tizens. He adds. "We made them a base return." They joined in the hardships 
 of a camp, neglected by the wealthy. Contributions were requested by the com- 
 mittee of defence and only S'OOO subscribed in a city where 100 persons were thtn 
 worth over $250,000 each, 30 or 40 worth 3 or 8400,000, and several worth mil- 
 lions, Th8 government einbarrassod by the rich men of Boston had no money to 
 Eay them, and (says Mr. Carey) they had to depend on charity in order to pet 
 omo again. The rich, gertcrally speaking, hate a free government, and all that 
 the people can do they should do to prevent monopolies and the accumulation of 
 wenllb in the hands of a few. Well did Christ say, that it was easier for a camel 
 to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to find the road to heaven. 
 Would thev havodnne as the Hibernians did with Howe? I guess not. 
 
 f MARCH 3. 1839, The patriots having concentrated their forces on Point-nii- 
 Pclee Island, 40 miles from Aniherstburgh, and 20 from the Canadian shore, on 
 26ih February are att>»rked by Col. Maitland, ^00 regulars and 200 Indians, ne- 
 groes and militia, 40 of tliein cavalry, at daybreak, after a night's march ov* r the 
 ice. The island was nine milus lonir, and the lories attacked them from both ends 
 of it ; a very bravo defence was made, but at length the English drove the patriots

 intotho woods, nnd trird to surround them, but they, having plci^hs, escaped to 
 the L\ S. shore, leaving Copt's. Von Rensselaer, a brave young mon who wns on 
 Navy Island, Howd'ey and INlcKeon, and a few privates dead. The English had 
 30 killed and wounded. The English were supported by well serveo artillery i — 
 the U. S. authorities hnd seizt^d tne guns of the patriots before they came there. 
 The patriot force was only 152.— 1617, Moses Gombic expelled the U. C. Legisla- 
 ture. Mr. G., an Irish gentleman, had been elected a representative for Halton 
 c junty, he was a native born subject, and qualified as to property. He was ex- 
 pelled (buing a reformer) because he had stopt a short time in (he U. S. on his 
 way from Ireland to Canada, and had not resided quite 14 years in the colony 
 since thus contaminated. For this violent measure voted Judge Jonas Jones, 
 Mahloii Burwell, Vankouffhnet, of Cornwall, Isaac Fraser, P. Robinson.— 1820, 
 Maine admitted into the Union. — IS33, Absalom Day of Camden and Christ 
 Grenier of Ganan«qiJo, arrested for aiding N. O. Reynolds, accused of treason,

 • >n — liberated some months afterwards on excessive bail. — Jes.se Cleaver, neor 
 i'ornnto, banished from U. C. for rebellion )hl825. HENRY CLAY appointed 
 Fecretary of State, by Mr. Adams. Mr. Clay is eloquent and able, and entered 
 public life an uncompromising rcpublicnnof the Jeflerson school, in which he and 
 Ma^'tin Van Biiren were reared. In this faith he continued until the United States 
 Knnk (the granting a charter lo which in 1816 he manfully opposed while J. C. 
 Cilhoun and (we think) Andrew Jackson, supported it) began the game of in- 
 creasing her power by tickling the palms of distinguished men, retaining them 
 as her attornies, and granting liberal accommodations on 7io;ntna^ securities. — 
 From that day forward, the splendid talents and powerful influence of Henry 
 Clay have been found enlisted on the sido of "associated wealth," and anti-republi- 
 cin monopoly. His n^o/ec/ivs tariff, his scheme for a distributitm of the public 
 money, his U. S. Bank renewal, and 50 million Bank charter support, mark the 
 change of his principles. Noah, and other editors, who have abandoned their ear- 
 ly advocacy of democracy for mercantile and banking favors and patronage, zeal- 
 ously uphold Mr. Clay. TheN. Y. traders and bankers consider him as " their 
 candidate." The U. S. Bank, whose dangerous power he once eloquently expo- 
 sod, found him poor nnd embarrassed, and made him its prosecuting attorney in 
 the west, thus relieving him from pecuniary trouble, and laying the foundation for 
 his present handsome jfortunc. Thenceforward he worshipped the irresponsible 
 power of avarice incorporated whh ambition and secrecy, and shielded by irres- 
 ponsibility, and left his mantle to another Elijah. Mr. Clay was one of the Com- 
 missioners of the treaty of Ghent — a treaty which left unsettled every important 
 principle and question, for which, in 1312, the U. S. had decla ed war, and after- 
 wards expended 150 millions of money and lost many brave lives. In 1824 he 
 joined his opponents to place Mr. Adams in power, though the candidate of the 
 I minority. The effect of his high tariff sytem is lo tax the farmer for the benefit 
 \of new trades which require hot-hous6 warming, and to accumulate large sums of 
 \ surplus revenue for the Banks to speculate. Perhaps the basest proposition of this 
 ^degenerate politician is his land bill to relieve the worthle^ss speculators of the se- 
 veral states from the consequences of their dishonorable and faithless conduct to 
 the people, by giving them the public lands to speculate on, and prevent the ne- 
 cessity of a recurrence to direct taxation, the first effectual check to slate venality 
 and legislative corruption. When Mr. Preston proposed tc take the notes of the 
 bankrupt banks in payment for public dues ; that is, to legalise fraud and diphpn- 
 eity as a part of the constitution, he found a supporter in fl^Henry Clay. — "The 
 /rue and on/w efficacious and;)c»-7nann<remedy, I solemnly believe, is to be found 
 in a Bank of the United State.'»."— Henry Clay, Feb. 19, 1838. " This institution 
 [the ftrst United States Bank] if one of the most deadly liostility existing against 
 i}[ie •principles and form of our Constitution."— Thomas JErrEneojr, 1603.

 » MAR. 6. 1834, York, Upper Canada, was this day called Toronto by legisla- 
 tive enactment, created into a city, with a splendid and costly government of a 
 Mayor who might have "1000 salary, and who wttB not only to preside in tho 
 Common Uonncil and act as ls» magistrate within the city, but also i. ■ hold criin- 
 iiial courts, and call grand and petitjurora to decide cases in penercl sessions. So 
 obnoxious was this measure, that at a public meeting held in the court house to 
 consider it, only three persons desired the expensive change. But Sir Allnn M'Nab 
 truly declared in the House of Assembly that government would give n city char- 
 tor to the people to punish them for their support of Mackenzie. Sir John Col- 
 borne issued his precept for theelection of tho Ist Mayor, Aldermen and Common 
 Councilmeii, a few days after ; the voting was open and by wards. A majority of 
 the council (of 20) were reformers; there were two candidates for the 31ayornlty, 
 Dr. John llolph.whom the minority supported, and who agreed to serve if elect- 
 ed, hut when he found that he would not obtain the support of the reformers, ho 
 resigned his office of Alderman. The Council elected Mackenzie, (who had been 
 previously returned ns Churchwarden,) and he took the oaths and was thus tho 
 first Justice ot the Peace elected by thepeople either of Upper or Lower Canada. 
 The charter privilege has overwhelmed ttie place with debt, and proved a curse t(» 
 the population.— 1833, On the complaint ofMackeniie, on behalf of the Canadians, 
 Earl Ripon (Lord Goderich) turned out Hagernianand Boullon from the lucrativo 
 oflTices of Attorney and Solicitor General of U. C. because they opposed every re- 
 form. They went to London aud complained ; Hagerman was instantly reinsta- 
 ted, and Boulton made Chief Justice of Newfoundland. I This was a violation of 
 the royal word to the Canadians, but there was no redress.— 1836, Colonel David 
 Crockett killed at tlie Alamo. 
 
 MARCH 7. 1829, The Hoboken Bank got ugly, and would not pay its debts. 
 Many a poor farmer and mechanic suffered for that. What did the Directors 
 care, they lost nothing! What did the stockholders care, they had divided glo- 
 rious dividends, and many of them borrowed twice as much at thev paid in of 
 stock. The present banks of Hoboken will stand bettor— they are Seautiful in 
 summer. 
 MARCH 8. 1702, William HL (Prince of Orange) died. 
 MARCH 9. 1566, David Rizzio assassinated in dueen Mary's apartment. — 
 Martin Van Buren becomes Secretary of State, U. S.— 1839, D. McDowell, in 
 the Enghsli National Convention, describes their cruel factory system, embra- 
 cing upwards of one million and a half distressed persons. At Rainsbottom, tho 
 condition of the poor engaged at the factories vyas miserable in the extreme. There 
 were 309 cottages occupieaby them which, with a few exceptions, were indiffer- 
 ently furnished, and were so situated as to be injurious to their inmates, both phy- 
 sically and morally. Twenty-one families inhabiting those cottages, with foiir 
 individuals in each tamily, occupied one bed room ; twenty-five families of six, 
 one bed-room; twenty-four families of five, one bed- room ; five families of 
 eight, one bed-room; two families of twelve, and one family of thirteen persons, 
 occupied one bed-room. (Cries of "shame, shame.") In other places it was 
 the same. The wages of those persons did not exceed five shillings on an aver- 
 age, while there were cases where the wages was only 2s. 6d. per week, from 
 which were to be deducted— rent, coals, and the wear of furniture, besides tho 
 doctor's bill. Hence, rags, Gtarvation, and death were the fate of those unfortu- 
 nate people. ■

 thiuugliout the State, lands worth sixty millions of dollars, which that priestliood 
 dnim to own independent of their flocks. Even in England the House of Commons 
 admit that the atut? may sell chundi property. It is in dangerons hands. Why not 
 dispone of it, pay off the state debt, coti>|ilete the canals and railroads, extend the ad- 
 vantages of common schools, and leave the bishops and oily clergy on a footing with 
 •ther sects depending on their Hocks ?

 "The accounts which you had received of the accession of Canada to the Union 
 were premature. It is a measure much to be wished and I believe would not be dis- 
 pleasing to the people; but, while Cnrlcton remains among them, with ihee or four 
 thousand rcgvtlar troops, thoy dare not avow their sentiments, if they rcnllv are favor- 
 able, without a. strong support. Your ideas of its importance to our political union 
 coincide exactly with mine. If tlint (Country is not with us. from its proximity to the 
 Pastern States, its intercourse and connexion with the numerous tribes of western In- 
 dians, its communion with them by water and other local advantages, it will lie nt 
 least a troublesome if not a dangerous neighbor to us ; and ought, at all events to be 
 in the same interest and politics as the other States." — General Wathington to

 jictL'd. yet he was innocent as we well know, for he was us ignorant of the inten- 
 |of the reformers to take possession of his premises on 4th Dec, as the babe un- 
 J, and it was bui natural tiiat he should stoo nnd watch so valuable >in estate. Ha- 
 [lan's language was vindictive enough; ana C. J. Robinson plcad«;"d for a convic- 
 |hc was sure of at the hand of hia creatures. If the defendant rould select liia 
 rs he would always get clear. In John Beverly Robinson's trials his creatures 
 ct such jurors as will ensure conviction. Win. Ketchum swore that he (K.) waa 
 on Tuesday at the rcfonnera' camp with Dr. Rolph and Mr. Baldwin, who bore 
 of truce from Head, and that Dr. Kolph took h.'in aside and bade him represent 
 jforce af the country people "as vefy strong." and that iie had been told on Mon- 
 I that the city would be attacked that night, probably by the same friend. Mr. 
 ptcomery was sentenced to be hung, drawn on a hurdle, cut up info fjuarters, &c. 
 lobinson, but the people were so horror struck with Mr. Jaunt's buUrhery, that 
 rtur ordered him to be banished to perpetual slavery in Botany Bay. He escap* 
 |reached the land of the free, and affords a home for many a brother reformer, in 
 I flourishing city. He was worth $3000 a year before the revolt. 
 IPRIL 3. 1829, The New York Safety Fund Act passed. A good patch on a cor- 
 I, vicious, system. The Scotch Banking system is freedom of trade — no great nation- 
 lank to ruin the others — interest paid on deposites — stockholders all responsible 
 )sue no dollar bills — the bankrupt law stops a bank the moment it fails to meet its 
 geinents, and its property ana that of its owners, is instantly applied towards 
 ipaytnent of its debts — Scotland owes much in morals and prosperity to the com- 
 ytive freedom of her banking system from parliamentary intrigue or jobbing, 
 chhas proved ruinous in Englana, the United States, Canada and Nova Scotia, 
 r local situation protects her against the general bad consequences ofthat abuse of 
 iit, small note». But the Scotch system would not anawf.T in America.

 APRIL 5. 1830, Fight at Bonnymuir, Scotland, between a party | 
 brave Scotsmen, up for freedom from the English yoke, and the hireling i 
 dicry of royalty. Tiie latter triumph. — 1646, lEJr King Charles Ist, thJ 
 wliom no royal hypocrite over more deserved the death he met, wrote publ 
 (leHpatches to his governors in Ireland, which he took care secretly to renil 
 ineffectual by private despatches of same date, telling them to act the cq 
 trary way, as it would please him better. This is the course pursued by I 
 Kings of England, through their secretaries Goderich, Stanley, Spring RiJ 
 and Normanby, who write plausible lies to the colonial governors. Head, Ci 
 borne and Arthur, for publication and deception, and private ones telliij 
 them to bind the yoke as tight as they can. — 1713, O" Mr. Walpolc, (afl| 
 "wards Sir Robert, and premier of England) Secretary at War, convicted i 
 pocketing a bribe of $2000 on a Scotch forage contract, expelled pariij 
 mcnt, imprisoned in the Tower, and when re-elected declared incapable | 
 sitting. 
 
 APRIL 6. A NATIONAL BANK.— If it be a company concern li^ 
 the last you cannot prevent the capitalists of England from owning and ( 
 recting it — no law can stop that result. If they own it, the rnonied affaij 
 of the country will be directed by the props of monarchy, the enemies of i 
 mocracy. — Again — If it be a U. S. government concern — if the PresideiJ 
 Senate or House of Representatives choose the directors — if the political pa 
 ty in power are the managers — it will be an engine in the hands of pan 
 which, under favorable circumstances, may tempt them to try their hand J 
 destroying free institutions, and building up a hundred families or morel 
 *'tho gods" of the modern Israel. — A National Bank, like that of the U.T 
 a company concern, will always be opposed to a democratic governnieri 
 hence it will nourish, consolidate and strengthen a factious partizan oppoJ 
 tion to government, bribe and corrupt the press, pulpit, bar and senate, I 
 the utmost of its means, and, if it can, (tlFswamp the republic. 
 
 APRIL 7. 1778, Wm. Pitt, Earl of Chatham, a statesman strongly 
 posed to the coercion of America, fwhen in opposition), died. — 1720, 
 South Sea scheme begins ; and by the 29th of Sept., when it ended, had rJ 
 ined tens of thousands of Englishmen, who expected to treble their fortunJ 
 by speculation. ID" CHINA. — Paper money was tried in China for mai[ 
 
 } rears, but found to be ruinous to the people and the government. For tn 
 ast 300 years the Chinese have preferred the honest standard of value, silvj 
 dollars. In the United States a combination of the people to try the stabill 
 ty of the banks, by demanding payment, would bring them to bankruptcy! 
 24 hours. Is this a safe measure of human labour ! 
 
 APRIL 8. 1835, Clergy Reserve bill, to appropriate these lands for ged 
 eral education and good roads passed the Assembly and was crushed by tn 
 government of U. C — The Canadas, by an act of the parliament of their coi 
 querors, are a part of the see of Canterbury. In U. C. one acre in 7 of evcij 
 farm throughout the colony, and also the unsettled land, (say 15 millions ( 
 acres) is given the church of England Clergy for ever — also 300,000 acn 
 best settled lands for glebes — and 360,000 to endow an intolerant school- 
 witk about 100 rectories of the most valuable estates in the country — and ai 
 the religious and civil supremacy and powers exercised in England and Ire]

 ompted him in almost all the acts of horrid cruelty of which his adminis. 
 
 Ltion was guilty. No doubt Melville had robbed the treasury in a thouHand 
 
 kys, but in this case his dishonesty was made as open and notorious as that 
 
 [the robber who is hung at Tyburn O" and more so. A Commission of 
 
 miry asked Melville whether he had pocketted many thousand pounds of 
 
 money of the public, as Treasurer of the Nav}'. He replied that he was 
 
 It obliged to criminate himself. His Paymaster, a loyal person called A. 
 
 Dtter, was sent for, and Melville asked before him whether Trotter had 
 
 Ld many thousands of the public funds for his private use — in other words 
 
 findled the people. Trotter would not tell, nor would Melville, and the 
 
 I had burnt all the accounts of their offices, explanatory of transactions 
 
 ^wcen them, the moment the commission was appointed. As Mclvillo 
 
 it not say "I am innocent," Pitt had to keep up appearances, and Mel. 
 
 ke resigned office as Ist lord of the admiralty, and his name was erased 
 
 nn the privy council. Melville was impeached before a pack of corrupt 
 
 ivcs called " the lords," but it came to nothing. It is computed that he 
 
 [bed the country of a million of dollars, and the paymaster of the navy took 
 
 ' his own use nearly half a million. He lived a noble peer, however, the 
 
 ^1 of honour, and so lives his son. Had they been poor men they would

 |PH HUME, M. P., the celebrated Statesman and Financier, was born in 
 ]1 in Montrose, Scotland His father was Captain of a trading vessel be- 
 ting to that port. Mr. Hume, whr has done more than any other man 
 iiig to inform the people of the United Kingdom of facts important to their 
 Ifare, was educated (like Watt and Van Buren) at the schools of his native 
 rn. He was three years at Edinburgh University, and became a member 
 !ie Colleges of Surgeons of London and Edinburgh. AAcr being in the 
 bt India Company's naval service four years, he proceeded in 1799 to Ben. 
 learnt the language of the country, became paymaster and postmaster 
 16 forces in the Mahwratta war, and held his medical appointment besides. 
 |l807r8 he returned to England a wealthy man ; travelled in England, Ire. 
 Scotland, Spain, Portugal, France, Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Sicily, 
 Idinia, &c.; and in 1812 was elected a member of parliament for Wey. 
 ith, in which body and in the court of proprietors he stood alone in 1813 
 Itending earnestly against monopoly and for free trade. In 1818, he was 
 Ved to represent his native town, Aberdeen, Brechin and Arbroath, in par. 
 nent, and he stood forward an unwearied advocate of the rights of the 
 pie, the liberty of the press, toleration and legislative reform. He began 
 inquiry twenty years ago into the wasteful expenditure of the government, 
 ability, zeal, industry and temper, and has never ceased to show his 
 utry the advantages of prudent, economical government. In 1828 ho 
 I elected member for the county of Middlesex, including the metropolis, 
 I twice re-elected. He succeeded Mr. O'Connell for Kilkenny in 1834-5, 
 is continually at his post doing all the good he can to markind. The 
 badians entreated his aid in 1827 against the Colonial authorities, obtain- 
 |t, and the House of Assembly of U. C. sent him a vote of thanks, as did 
 liy towns and counties. From that time h« has been a firm and unwea. 
 advocate for Canadian rights, and will yei, wc trust, receive ample 
 bfsof the people's gratitude.

 zing over their fellow'slavcs." This ♦• small body" in U. C. have for manif

 These wretches are to U. Canada what the leaders of " the Protestant

 APRIL IL 1838, Judge Robinson, the Jeffries of U. C. sentences Joh| 
 Andtsrson (now of Lockport), Ralph Morden (now of Lcwistoit), Canadian^ 
 Doctor Theller, a naturalized American Citizen, and John Montgomery, wli 
 lifid suffered so extensively in his property by the revolt, to be hung, drawol 
 and their bodies quartered, on the 24J.h, for their love of liberty. Dr. Thellej 
 protested, that though born an Irishman he had left that land of oppressio 
 early in life and become an American Citizen, abjuring English allegiano 
 and English protection. The Judgo %nd Attorney General decided thatoncl 
 a subject of Victoria and her successors a subject for ever ! I The Irish threil 
 tcned the government and saved Tlieller's life — he afterwards made a rair 
 culous escape from Quebec, as did the three others from Fort Henry, and i 
 four were received with great kindness on this side the lines. On this claid 
 of England to hang naturalized American cilizons as English subjects, thl 
 London Sun says — •• To sentence him to death, to keep him months in pri 
 son, loaded with irons, is adding cruelty to gross absurdity. When we lool 
 to Irishmen, of whom Thcllei is one, the claim of the law seems to us i 
 utter abomination, which every man is hound to protest against. Ireland i 
 still more a prey to a redundcncy of people than England, and there the fJ 
 miiihing wretches, cluared from an estate, driven out from their roofless lioj 
 dings by a Beresford or a Bandon, have very often no resource, but to bin 
 themselves to an American Captain, who carries them across the Atlaiitiij 
 and sells their service when they arrive. They are compelled by those i 
 whom the law vests the property of the soil, and whom the law encouragJ 
 to CLEAA their estates, to leave their native country, and when they procuij 
 in another the bread which their own denied them, the law still claims the! 
 obedience, ties them to starvation, treats them the same as one of the fava 
 ed landowners, and declares them guilty of treason if found in the ranks 
 the defenders of their new country." 
 
 APRIL 12. 1838, Messrs. LOUNT and MATTHEWS, two of thebn 
 vest of the Canada patriots, were executed this day, by order of Sir Geord 
 Arthur, and at the urgent request of Chief Justice Robinson; Hagerman tn 
 Attorney General; and Sullivan, Baldwin, Elnisley, Allan and Draper, the Ed 
 ecutive Council. Petitions to Arthur, signed by upwards of 30,000 person 
 were presented, asking him to spare tbvir lives, but in vain. He knew thi 
 Victoria and the English Ministry and Peerage thirsted for Canadian blc 
 he had been told to follow Head's example, by Lord Glenelg, and he obeytl 
 orders. Capt. Matthews left a widow and fitlecn fine children, and Colon

 good looking, and in his 47lh year. Arthur was earnest to know of 
 
 Int who tho leaders were, but, except that he told him that Dr. Rolpli 
 
 [the Executive, he answered him not a word. They behaved with great 
 
 lution at the gallows ; Ihcy would not have spoken to the people, had 
 
 desired it. The spectacle of Lount after the execution was the most 
 ^king right that can bs imagined. Pie was covered over with his blood ; 
 lead being nearly severed from his body, owing to the depth of the fall. 
 
 horrible to relate, when he was cut down, two rufRans seized the end ot 
 rope and dragged the mangled corpse along the ground into the jail yard, 
 
 one exclaiming "this is the way every d d rebel deserves to bo 
 
 " Tiicir families are impoverished. Mts. Lount is in Michigan. Dal. 
 
 Patriot was outragtious — it said — "The country is being scoursd 
 il directions for the Captains of the gang, and we expect every moment 
 Be them brought in, pinioned and bound, to be laid by as winter proven, 
 for the greedy gallows." Mr. Lount's wife was, for two months prevent- 
 tom even seeing her husband, by tlie monster Head. When she was at. 
 ed to enter his dungeon (his son writes, that) " his eyes were settled in 
 
 sockets, his face pale as paper, he was worn down to the form of a liv. 
 
 [skeleton, and bound in heavy chains. My poor father had travelled hun. 
 
 Is of miles through forests, rivers, swamps and desolate places, by night 
 
 by day, and at last while attempting to cross Lake Erie, and once more 
 
 Jghtofhis native shore, where freedom loves to dwell, he was driven 
 
 upon the Canada inhospitable coast, surrounded by a horde of negroes 
 I Qaeen'« volunteers, carried before their magistrates, and abcut to be ex- 
 ited on a charge of being a salt smuggler, when he would have got clear 
 
 But Sam Jarvis came in, cried out that it was the rebel Lount, and or. 
 
 fcd his close detention." Dalton's language was probably written at Head's 
 
 latinn. In one of his papers Dalton says, " We had several interviews 
 
 1 Sir Francis, who, as he constantly grew in our esteem, so did the Pa. 
 
 seem to rise in his estimation, insomuch, that numerous copies of it 
 h at intervals dispersed through the country from the Government Office, 
 Di a view to arrest the moral contagion, and we have reason to know, 
 P) excellent effect." 
 
 [r. Charles Durand, then under sentence of death, gives the following ac 
 |nt of the last days of these glorious martyrs : — •' Matthews always bore 
 
 in spirits well. He was, until death, firm in his opinion of the justice of 
 j cause he had espoused. He never recanted. He was ironed and kept 
 |he darkest cell in tlie prison like a murderer. He slept sometimes in 
 
 ikets that were wet and frozen. He had nothing to cheer him but thu 
 brobation of his companions and his conscience. Lount was ironed, tho* 
 kt in a better room. He was in good spirits. He used to tell us uflen, in 
 Iting, not to be downcast, that he believed ' Canada would yet be free,* 
 It we were ' contending in a good cause.' He said he w^as not sorry for 
 
 It he had done, and that * he would do so again.' This was his mind un. 
 
 death. Lount was a social and excellent companion, and a well informed 
 He sometimes spoke to us under the sill of our door. He did so ou 
 
 I inorning of his execution ! he bid us * farewell ! that he was on his way 
 
 mother world.' He was calm. He and Matthews came out to the gaU 
 jrs, that was just before our window grates. We could see all plainly. — 
 |ey ascended the platform with unfaltering steps like men. Lount turned 
 
 head at his friends who were looking through the iron.girt windows, as 
 ko lay a <long farewell !' He and Matthews knelt and prayed, and were 
 inched into eternity without almost a single struggle. Oh ! the horror of 
 ^ feelings, who can describe them !"

 APRIL 13. IMPRESSMENT OF AMERICAN SAIL0RS.-1 
 ALGERINE ENGLISH.~1799, Rufus King, American Minister, 
 T. Pickering, Secretary of State, this day, that since July last he had \ 
 ed for the discharge of 271 American sailors, forced by England aboail 
 war ships to frjht for the oppressors of G3d's fair creation ; that not a| 
 of these slaves were given up ; that half were debarred a chance of 
 by being put on board ships of war which had sailed before his enquiry J 
 86 had been restored to their country. Cobbett's Register says, that £dI 
 ships of war, when they meet an American vessel at sea, board her, and] 
 out as many sailors as they choose to call British subjects ; that the] 
 bound by no rule, but take whom they please ; that two years previot] 
 1806) the American Consul computed the number of American sailorsl 
 taken into foreign slavery at 14,000, of whom many had died, manyj 
 wounded or killed in battle on board English ships ; in some cases whe 
 American sailor has tried to effect his freedom he has been flogged thii 
 the fleet for desertion, as if the old colonial yoke had never been slackJ 
 Silas Talbot writes Mr. Secretary Pickering, July 4, '97, that the adj 
 had ordered his captains not to allow civil process to be served for the rej 
 of American sailors, and that many Americans hftd been brought to thsj 
 way and whipped." All this America bore patiently because the grai 
 of charters, monopolies, corporations, the avarico of foreign traders, an 
 issuing of paper money had already raised a party whose interest 
 weaken the government and destroy it. Even Danes, Swedes, and ot 
 reigners (says Mr. King) were dragged out of American ships and forcedj 
 the English naval service. T. Pickering, Secretary of State, repor 
 Congress the affidavit of Eliphalet Ladd, a native of Exeter, N. H., thij 
 12th June, 1 799, he came on shore with 2 seamen of the Thomas and "

 BRITAIN. Mastems AND Slaves !— It IS a monstrous iniquity that the elec- 
 tive franchise should be in the hands of so small a proportion of the peonle of 
 Eii|;iand. It is scarcely endurable that, in this great country, there shoula be a 
 master clasd having votes, and, therefore, by themselves and tlieir representatives, 
 making all the laws; and on ihe other hand, a slave class, having nnthmg to do 
 with the laws but to obey them, and to suffnr their pressure and infliction. The 
 Reform Bill has failed. It has created a capriciously-selected class of voters, ob-> 
 noxious (o intimidation, and liable to corruption. It has increased the bribery, 
 the perjury, the villany of theunreformedsvstem. It is disgraceful to the coun- 
 try, and insulting to its people.— Daniel O Conntll^a addresato Ike Chartiata of 
 Birmingham, May 3A, 1839. 
 
 APRIL 19. 1775, Battle of Concord, where the English commenced their eight 
 years of wholesale murders upon the Americans, to reduce them into slavery. — 
 General Gage resolved to take from the Americans, certain stores thev had at 
 Concord— sent 900 Grenadiers, &c. who when thev arrived at Lexington found 
 about 70 militiamen paraded on the green. Major Pitcairn rode up, and thunder- 
 ed in their enrs, •' Disperse, ye rebels ; throw down your arms and disperse!"— 
 they were in no hurry, on which he rode in amonsj them, (as Moodie did at Mont- 
 gomery's,) and fired his pisiol, and ordered his men to fire also — they did so — 
 eight Americans fell dead and several more were wounded. ThiswQ.s the first of 
 the eight years murders— Colonel Smith moved onwards to Concord, destroyed 
 some stores, fired on the militia, the fire was returned, the regulars retreated with 
 a loss of prisoners ! The country people rose en masse, General Gage sent other 
 900 men to aid the invaders— yet the whole 1800 fied before 400, snooting over 
 fences, behind bushes, &c. The English lost 276 men, the Americans CO. The 
 people ofChailestown used the royal troops with kindness, and (like Colborne at 
 St. Benoit) they (the royalists) soon after set fire to the place and burnt it. 
 
 APRIL 20. 1824, Lord Byn^n, the republican poet died in Greece.— 183G, Ha-

 eomrades, who cut out the Caroline," which toast was received with loud applause. 
 —1827, AMF/lIICAN ALIENS. Many thousands of the best settlers in U. C. 
 were born in the U. S., and the honesty of their votes induced Judge Robinson to 
 prompt the English Guvernment to declare them aliens, incapable of holding or 
 conveying real estate, although the half of U. C. either belonged to, or had passed 
 through their hands. This was done, and a bill brought into one of our corrupt 
 Assemblies to enable them to hold their farms bu' not to vole at elections, if tht-y 
 Would abjure their native country for ever. This bill passed our Colonial Assem- 
 bly, which it was nut ditficult ..* bribe or intimidate, and was sent to England for 
 the royal assent. To lose American votes would have been the downfall of the 
 democratic party, and a central committee of four wasappomted. (Messrs. Joseph 
 Shephard, Thos. Stoyell, Jesse Ketchiim, and Dr. Burnside,) with W. L. Mac- 
 kenzie for its confidential secretary. Dr Rolph, one uf the delegates chosen, de- 
 clined going to England, and Mackenzie urged so many ub^tions against the 
 other, (Fothergill, since and before a hungry tory,) that he persuadeathe com-

 Instructious were drafted by Mr. Mackenzie, at thecommitteo's direction (which 
 he yut preserves, as signed by them,) and tliese, with a memorial having 16,000 
 signatures, Mr. R. took to England in March of this year, liaving previously 
 agreed that Mr. Mackenzie should dash off one or two loyal letters to the Gover* 
 nor General, Lord Dalhousie, and send him 500 copies for distribution in London, 
 to pave the way for a favorable reception. The hoax was ployed off to admira- 
 tion—Mr. R. instanced the tone of the liberal paper as a proi>f of the loyalty of 
 the republican party, and gave copies of the No's, conlainmg the letters, in proof. 
 With the help of Mr. Hume: loyalty, assiduity, and a good cause, Mr. R. carried 
 hit point with Lord Godericli, and received a pledge that the Yankees in Canada 
 who had been subjects from 4 to 40 years, might so remain without abjuring their 
 native land. The Colonial Advocate began its loyal song this day, and kept it up 
 a whole fortnight, and thus for once out-generaled the politicians of England 
 at their own weapons.— 1838, Henry McGarry tried at Toronto for rebellion 1 I 
 acquitted.— Colborne's DIVAN, or Special Council of Tyranny in L. Canada —

 Mayrand and Ichabod Smith. Many a black and cruel measure this divan has 
 sanutioned. One of the most barbarous was that of this day whereby they au- 
 thorized Colborne to keep any body in jail that he pleased and as long as ha 
 pleased, without trial, if accused of opposing his government. Many in this 
 way have been quietly murdered, starved to death by cold and hunger, and cru- 
 elties unnumbered practised.

 tax, duty or assessment, except for resalating commerce, upon any colony, 
 m N. America, the product of this and all other taxes and assessments to be ex- 
 
 f ended by the votes of the House of Assembly only, for the uses of such colony, 
 n Canada this statute has been continually violated.— 1839, This day the Hon. 
 Sam. Young, Chairman of the Committee on Finance, presented a Report con* 
 taining his opinions on the state finances, on internal improvements, on borrow- 
 ing to tax posterity, on partial legislation, corrupt party presses, lobbv bangers, 
 national and state debts, and other important matters. This in the Dest, able- 
 and most useful document of the kind we have ever met with in America. The 
 other members of committee dissented from it more or less, and the Argus and 
 Evening Journal withheld it from the public eye till August, when the former pa- 
 per copied it, and gave a qualified dissent to its doctrines. How we should like 
 to circulate 100,000 copies in the States and Canada !— 1836, The House of As- 
 sembly of Lower Canada, having a full money chest, the province bein^ free of 
 debt, and the English government continually taunting the Canadians with their 
 ignorance, the people's representatives passed a bill to grant 60000 dollars a year 
 for 4 years, to^l638 eIementary*schools, and two dollars prize money to good scho- 
 lars; the heads of famtlies were to appoint school trustees and assess the towns 
 for school houses, buildings and repairs; the country was divided into school dis- 
 tricts ; the trustees were to chouse the teachers, &c., and annual vouchers of ex- 
 penditures to be exhibited. The Legislative Council, placemen, nominees of go- 
 vernment, threw this excellent measure out at once, and now trample on the le- 
 fislature and keep the country as ignorant as possible. By the government vote 
 200 schools were shut up in one day. — 1838, 1. B. Molleur of Henry ville, L. C, 
 severely wounded and charged with rebellion against Miss A'^ictoria <& Co., is

 Charles. We thought it ri^ht to conceal the part ho took till Iw goi out of the 
 country, and had hia property sold, lie ia now well olTin these ijtatta, having 
 lost nothing. He and Dr. K., it is presumed, ordered the rising on a day they 
 thought more suitable. Dr. M., however, gave the movement no aid, although 
 his influence in town and country would have been very useful. He is a good 
 speaker, made a vervtair republican representative, and (with Mackenzie,) strong- 
 ly oppo 3ed the flood of bank incorporation bills whi ;ti those who wished to make 
 easy fortunes out of honest industry, passed through the legislature. At length 
 it was proposed to grant an anti-republican charter, with exclusive privileges to 
 the Bank of the People, ii. which the Doctor was a director and stockholder ; thia 
 altered the case. He votea for that bill through ail its atages, and saw it safis in 
 the senate chamber. Tho. o who were with him in confinement state that ha 
 was deficient in physical courage. The jury acquitted him and saved his neck, 
 otherwise his steady opposition as a repreaentative would have sent him to tlie 
 block. While in custody he was cruelly treated. The trial lasted 16 hours, and 
 Hagerman was particularly vindictive against his old opponent. Two of the 
 mock jurors, Murchison, a tailor, bought oy the tories, and Champion, an iion* 
 monger, who could not afford to be honest in Canada, tried hard to tie a halter 
 round the doctor's neck; urging hour after hour the necessity ef a verdict of guilty, 
 but they failed for once. Mr. Elliott, an attorney, testified that at the time the 
 government were removing the troops from Toronto, that wicked rebel, Macken- 
 zie, proposed jocularly to a company of reformers to take possession of governoi* 
 city ana garrison at once, but was put down by every one present, and told not 
 to talk of such things even in jest ! ! I

 and labourer oat of their means apon false pretexts. 
 
 APRIL 27. 1837, Lord Gloneig intimates to Sir F. Head that his coodoct 
 in corrupting the £lectionA and deceiving the people of U. C. had entitled 
 him to a baronetcy from His Majesty. — 1779, Cougresa sends Washington 
 2000 guineas to use for secret service. — 1313. General Dearborn and Com< 
 modore Chauncey took Toronto, ai\er a well contested battle. The explo- 
 sion ofa magazine killed the American General, Pike, and killed and woun- 
 ded many of his men. In their dispatches the American CommaDdors state 
 that tho Speaker's Mace of the House '^ f Parliament had a hamau scalp hang 
 over it 1—1798, Pitt's Alien Bill passed. It enabled the crown to detain fo* 
 reigners in England — to prevent foreigners from landing in England without 
 the permission of the crown — and to oblige all who had hotels and lodgers to 
 give accounts to government of all movements of stiangers in their houses. 
 
 Working Men of America, Doctor Channing advices you to take part in the 
 politics of your country. These are the true disripline of a frise people, and 
 do much for their education. I couns you to labor fcr a clear understanding 
 of the subjects which agitate the community, to make them your study, in- 
 stead of wasting your leisure in vague pa.-sionate talk aboqt them. The time 
 thrown away by the mass of the people on the rumors of the day, might, if 
 better spent, give them a good acquaintance with the constitution, laws, his- 
 tory, and intercstsof their country, and thusebtablioh thrtmselves in those great 
 principles by which particular meiiMures are to be deterkiiincd. Id proportion 
 «s the people thus improve themselves, they will cease to be the tools of de- 
 signing politicians. Their intelligence, not their passions and jealonsiet, will 
 be addressed by those who seek their votes.

 it no longer: In planting Indian corn, never drop it on much depth ot strong ma- 
 nure: if you have tke means of dressing it bountifully in the hill, spread the dressing 
 when the seed is dropped. On dry ground, furrow deep, live or six inches at least; 
 and when the corn is covered, raise the hill even with, or a little above the surface of 
 the ground. Plant more peas, potatoes, &c. Look to the caterpillars. 
 
 MAY 1. 1839, Great public Dinner to Mr. Hume, ui the Crown and Anchor, 
 London; 300 gentlemen sit down ; Admiral Coddrington in the chair — a splendid 
 service of plate presented to Mr. H. — 1695, The Dynasty of Moiiied Knaves reigned 
 in En,^;land. David Kume tells us that " the nr.tion was alarmed by the circulation 
 of fictitious wealth instead of gold and silver, such as bank bills, exchequer tallies 
 and government securities ^or promises to pay.) The malcontents tried to shake the 
 credit of the Banks in Parliament, but the MONIED INTEREST preponderated 
 in both houses." No doubt it did, and it does here in Anierica, but the people will 
 give it a shake one of tiiese days. So early as Queen Elizabeth's thne a monopoly 
 of trade was given by her but 1 evoked as against the common interest of the people. 
 When will the wise men at Albany and Columbus find this out? — 1707, SCOT- 
 LAND DEGRADED fiom tlie rank of a free and independent nation to be a de- 
 pendant provi- ^le of England, like Virginia and Canada, by what was called an act 
 of Union, which destroyed the legislature, reduced Edinburgh to the rank of a pro- 
 vincial town, and allotted the Scotch 45 re .esentaiives, chosen by 1800 persons, as 
 their share in a legislature in which England had 513 members, thus swuinping liie 
 Scotch power entirely, there being no Senate to act as a check on partial legislation.

 Thonaaa Partridge and John SchafTer, the approvera for government, were vi

 V. 8. far life, and he is now in Buffalo.

 1837. The NEW YORK BANKS (all but the National. American and Mi 
 hattan, which broke the day after) failed in buaineaa, atopt paying their billi 
 repaying those who had trusted money in their vaults, leaving their creditors

 pollars to the Receiver General and others, and palmed probably 8100,000 of their 
 promises to pay (less or more) on the credulous public, which are not worth a 
 cent to theaollar, and probably never will be. Mr. Mockenzie publicly warn- 
 kd the country when he found where they were going, b .t they contrived to foiat 
 p60 on him, which he haa yet. One of them, George Truscott. of the Royal Na- 
 ry, (or rather his Toronto runner Hamlin) keeps a aplendid wholesale tea rtors

 the Americana and a home to the oppressed of all nations— this he did at the ma 
 gloomy period of the revolutiun. He aided this country with arms, money i 
 credit, and anxiously desired to see Canada a free slate Jf this Union. 
 
 MAY 21. 1832, MONTREAL MASSACRE.— What the Boston Massaa 
 was to th American revolution, tlie 21st of May, '32, was to the outbreak in < 
 nada. TS«tre was an election held in Montreal, and some dispute occurred nei

 parliamentary voting was going on ; and the moment theie arose a petty di8po[

 which they did most willingly, wounding many near the hustings and killii| 
 three worthy citizens as they were runnins out of the way of the musketry d(r 
 St. James's Street. Colonel Mcintosh, though condemned by a jury in Cans

 IfThese undisciplined lovers of Ireland and freedom were met by commissioners 
 Ifrom the royalista to induce them to retire, just aa Dr. Rolph and Mr. Baldwin 
 I were sent to us in the hour of Sir F. Head's weakness, back of Toronto. Had 
 I we been allowed to do aa they did, push ahead the moment wa received thia 
 proof of tory weakness, perhapa Canada would now be free. But we question 
 whether enough of the brave kind of men who took Wexford were to be found 
 among Sir Francis' beseigers.J The rovalists butchered and massacred whole* 
 sale on their retreat, but the Irish issuea a proclamation, that "insult to female 
 honour, pillage and contempt of orders would be punished with death."— The 
 battle of Gory followed, and the Irish were again victorious.— 1838, The SIR

 that neither life inix property war sought for, only retaliation for a national in*^ 
 ■ult. We understand that the Capt. of the party who burnt the Ped left for the 
 south immediately afterwards. It was not Johnston. This was just seven dayif 
 after Mr. Stevenson the American Minister in London had demanded satisfaction! 
 of England for the Caroline.— It is a curious fact that Jonas Jones, chief owner : 
 of the Peel — he who condemned the (i:allant Morreau to be gibbetted for his opi- 1 
 nions— he who adjudged Chandler, Waite, McLcod, Linus Miller and many other | 
 humane and worthy patriots to a halter — this Jonas Jones was the first to urge 
 Sir F. Head to burn Montgomery's houses, hotel, barn and premises— none wu 
 more anxious for the governor's order to make a bonfire of Mr. Gibson's exten- 
 sive and well filled premises on Yonge Street than Judge Jones. When men 
 learned in the law, like Jones and Robinson, and Governors so wise as Sir F. 6. 
 Head set the example, can they wonder if their victims retsliate? 
 
 1839, WILLIAM LEOGETT died at New Rochelle at 9 evening, (Wednee- 
 day;) of bilious colic, in bis 39ih year. We have derived much pleasure and uw- 
 ful information from the wtitings of this truly great and original mind. He wu 
 born in N. York, educated at Georgetown Colleee, D. C; in 1819 he and his fa- 
 ther settled in Illinois ; in 1822 he was appointed a midshipman in the U. S. na- 
 vy; he married in 1828, and established "the Critic," and in 1829 became an ed- 
 itor of the N. Y. Evenine Post; in 1836 be issued No. 1 of "the Plain Dealer," 
 which continued 10 months. Last Nov. he was within a few votes of receiving 
 the nomination of the democratic party for Member of Congress for N. Y. Just 
 before his death Mr. Van Buren had nominated him to the office of Diplomatic 
 Agent to Guatemala. The Young Men's Committee of Tammany Hall area- 
 bout to erect a monument to his memory. He was one of those great and glori- 
 ous spirits whom heaven sends among men at rare intervals as a sort of compen- 
 sation to our race for cursing it with the mercenary generation who meet in Wall 
 Street. His politics were democratic, just, true, generous, liberal and enlighten- 
 ed. The politics of right as opposed to selfishness, of universal benevolence ai 
 oppnt««d to {IrF.nglisli rapacity. . 
 
 1813, Sir George Prevost attacks Sacket's Harbour, with 1000 men; is oppo-

 MAY 31. 1812, Lord Chancellor Eldon, finding that Mr. Troutback had no 
 heirs, set aside his will leaving 8500,000 to educate, clothe, feed and aid 5000 of 
 the poor destitute children of London. The money was then given to King 
 
 George 4th to pay his gnmblingr and debts. What villains this eartn 
 
 contains!!— (Date of Rathcorinack Massacre lost. J— MASSACRE OF RATH- 
 CORMACK, IRELAND.— In this legalized murder fifteen defenceless men, 
 boys and women were shot down by a military detachment called out by thi 
 Reverend Mr. Ryder in his character of civil magistrate to collect certain titht 
 money and church dues for himself in his character of clergyman. " During thii 
 arduous duty," says an English newspaper, "the soldiers displayed admirable 
 moderation and coolness. The widow Ryan had evinced the worst spirit in try- 
 ing to evade the payment of the various dues to th<) clergy man, an unwillingneii 
 to pay that ended in an order to fire into the premises (tne hay-yard or haggard), 
 The clergyman, Mr. Ryder, is a man ot mild character, of the most irreproacha- 
 ble life, and universally esteemed and beloved throughout the county." Such 
 was the description of the deed that sent fifteen of our fellow creatures of the Al- 
 mighty God into his presence without warning or preparation for the sum of five 
 pounds eight shillings. And such the description of the perpetrator who jumped 
 off from his horse and running up to the wretched widow who was supporting 
 the head of her dying son, caught her by the shoulder and demanded, "Will you 
 pay now?" and on receiving some unintelligible answer, drew a bible from hii 
 pocket to swear her to the payment at such a moment. This man did not throw 
 down the thirty pieces of silver and hang himself, quite the contrary— he sat down 
 to dinner ihot day, rejoicing in his work of blood, ate, drank, rose up, wiped hie 
 mouth and said I have doneno wrong, I have acted legally. He was right. Thie 
 b the legality of the " bloody and brutal" government of England.

 the gallant McCracken seized and hung by orders of the barbaioua English gov- 
 arnment. _" f saw him," said one of his noble companions, "as he marched to 
 the field, hU loose flowing locks were confined by the helm which shaded the 
 a>ch of his manly brow, while his eye beamed with the fire which animated hie 
 Boul,pureas the breeze from his native mountain, and generous as the floodi 
 which fertilize the valleys. The damps of theiiongeon had rendered pallid hit 
 ■iheek and less robust his form, but the vigour of his mind waa uninjured by the 
 granny of our English taskmasters. I saw him in the blaze of his conquest— I 
 saw him in the chill of defeat. ■ I witnessed his splendour in arms, and the pride 
 of hia aoulin distress. Circumstancea unavoidably separated us. A little time, 
 and he was the tenant of the tomb ! When, O, when shall the arbitrary sway of 
 England cease, and Ireland rise, great, elorioua and free, her sons united, happy

 ther aide— many slain— 1831, Sir John Colborne's relative and private secretary 
 and recorder of treasons against the Canadians, Zachariah Mudge, blew out his 
 braina at Toronto with a pistol. It is hard to keep the secret doings of such a 
 barbarian as Colborne. Mudse had about ,t4000 a year, much of it from a tax

 THE NEW YORK BANKS, are followed by all the other Banks in the United 
 States and Upper and Lower Canada, become insolvent, and refuse to pay their 
 bills, bank note.«. or the money deposited in trust with them. Their notes and 
 obligations are then sold for what they would fetch in the market. This causea 
 the ruin of many a worthy and opulent merchant. One cause of these banks 
 failing was the refusal of the Rank of Ensrland to c\itinue to credit to a very 
 large amount three or four firms in London connected with the American trade. 
 So it was proved that the Banks in America did not ask credit of the public be- 
 cause of ttieir capital and prudent conduct, but because they depended on four 
 London traders who depended on the Bank of England to lend them money to 
 meet their engagements. 
 
 JUNE 12. 1798, BATTLE OP BALLYNAHINCH, north of Ireland. The 
 Catholics and Presbyterians under Monroe; the English under Generals Nugent 
 and Barber ; the English set fire to the whole country round ; Monroe had few 
 or no cannon ; the English a splendid, well served park of artillery. The Battle 
 continued on the 13th. when the Irish, after displaying the greatest valour, were 
 defeated. TheEnglisn pursued, and like Colonel Prince, gave no ouaWer to their 
 foe. The slaughter of Erin's suns was terrible. A young lady of^ Ards followed 
 her brother and her lover to the f eld in which they atruegled for Old Ireland's 
 freedom— she reached Ednavady heiehts— joined the embattled ranks— love sup- 
 ported her throush the perils of the fight— out borne down in the retreat she was 
 slaughtered by the bloody English, and her gallant lover and her brother fell at 
 her side. O, God of mercy, love and goodness, receive these sacrifices accepta - 
 bijr, and hasten to crush the cruel spoilers of thy heritage! May the sons of 
 Erin yet unite to repel their treacherous hosts from the sacred soil. 
 
 Though slavery's cloud o'er thy morning has hung, 
 The full tide of freedom shall beam round thee yet.

 North their commander — takes Ballynahinch-^is defeated— taken— tried, as 
 they try people in Canada— by Courts Martial, that is by a dozen of the enemy 
 selected tor the purpose of conviction, by a mockery of justice. " With a quick 
 but a firm step and undaunted compoaure he Rscended the scaffold, evidently 
 more desirous to meet death than to avoid it. He waa executed in the thirty-first 
 year of hia age. at the front of his own house, where his wife, his mother, and sis- 
 ter resided. His head was severed from his body, and exhibited upon the mar>

 JUNE 16. 1758, BANK OF VIENNA estitblished by the Empress Maris 
 Theresa. It isnued 12 millions of florins for which her lubjects gave service, grain, 
 beef, merchandize and labour, although the paper florins had cost nothing. She then 
 issued more paper to the common people and paid her debts with these llorin premi- 
 ses. The Gold and Silver left Aastria, of course, and in 1797 the Bank stopt, and 
 their tilstes were ordered by the Emperor to be taken in payment of all debu ! In 
 1810, the Austrian Oovernmenthad 1000 millions afloat among the people, who offered 
 13 florins of this royal paper for one of silver. In 1611, government became so 
 thoroughly insolvent tha* it ordered 5 of the florins it had issued as equal to silver, 
 to pass for one of silver. Thus paying 20 cents to the dollar, or 1000 millions with 
 SOO, it issued more, and has begun again to flood the country with the new paper 
 which i« down to 185 paper florins for 100 in silver. It is remarkable that no expe- 
 rience will teach the people that when paper is issued for money it will end in plun- 
 dering them.

 though mauy may be suffering from this neglect 
 
 1812, WAR AGAINST ENGLAJJD.— The United States, after suffering for 
 many years every possible insult and injury which the pride of England could inflict, 
 declared war against her. The vote in the Senate was 19 to 13, and in the House of 
 Representatives 79 to 49 ; in all 98 yeas to 62 pays. Josiah Quincy, and the other 
 leaders of tlie rich merchants, bankers, traders, money lenders, and that class gene- 
 rally who wished a more splendid government, had voted for every measure of Mr. 
 Madison's government predicated upon a war, to enlist men and prepare the army 
 and navy, but when the vote '.vas taken, these leaders, voted in the negativ^i. The 
 federal presses, their orators, the N. York and Boston merchants, even the clergj*, 
 
 goaded the nation into war and urged on England to continue her oppressions — but 
 le moment these same federalists saw America involved in. war they raised up 'o 
 peace party, and never ceased to embarrass the eovernment threateniue and insult- 
 ing all who loaned it money, and their priests ^nouncing from the pulpit all who 
 wor.ld dare to maintain the honor and amity of these United States. I do not mean 
 tb »t all the federalists did this — far from it — I say, the leaders of that party and ma- 
 ny who joined them — all who lusted for unlawful power and hated free institutions^ — 
 did so — and it appears thttt of theie leaders many were, like Aaron Burr and B. Ar 
 nold, at heart enemies to liberty. Thirty-four of theee tories, in c, ngress, signed an 
 inflammatory protest addressed to the people of America, and as a w^iole this war 
 
 Earty in peace and peace party in war did mors, against their country than all the 
 ayonets and fleets of England. These protestors were f^ Brigham, Bigelow, 
 Breckenridge, Baker, Bleecker, Champion, Chittenden, Davenport, Emott, Ely, Fitch, 
 Gold, Goldsboro', Jackson, Key, Lewis, Law, Mosely, Milnor, Potter, Pearson, Fit- 
 kin, Quincy. Reed, Ridgley, SuUivan, Stewart, Sturges, Tallmadge, Tageart, White, 
 Wilson, Wheaton. The peace party and their dupes finally compelled me nation to 
 conclude the war without gaining one object for which it was undertaken ; and have 
 since succeeded in spreading monopolies all over the Union to the injury of sound 
 morality and the disgrace of the Christian name. The bead quarters of these trai- 
 tors was Boston, then the richest city of the Union. The Banks collected all the spe- 
 cie diey could drSw from other parts of the Union; the English government seat its

 been when incited by monopoly — such will it ever be while banks are allowed to is- 
 sue paper and call it money. At the close of the war die government was in trouble 
 and out of means, but the Jews, federahsts.and bankers ot Boston were overflowing 
 witii wealth, and had bonds on the nation for vast sums, lent on the most grinding and 
 usurious tenns. — 1815, Batde of Waterloo. England, Russia.- Prussis, Austria,

 enforce the holy claim by Lord Famham's agent, and Capt. Graham. When the cat- 
 tle were set up to aucdon there was great grumbling, and some of the youths cried 
 out against the act On this the English Orange power opened a dreadful fire upon 
 the poor fanners and labourers, killed almost thirty honest Irishmen, wounded many, 
 and drove several into the Slaney, where they were drowned. Redress was out of 
 the question. When did Irishmen get justice from an Bnglith government? 
 
 1643, JOHN HAMPDEN died on a Sunday morning of wounds received a few 
 days before at the head of his regiment at the oatde of Chalerove Field, near his 
 birth place. He withstood tyranny and was in public and private life — under all 
 circumstances — a most excellent and eminent man, as ever England or any country 
 produced. A royal tyrant imposed on him a tax equal to $5 illegally — he resisted on 
 principle at the expense of thousands of pounds, and the consequence was the pros- 
 tration of die monarchy. 
 
 JUNE 19. 1216, Magna Charta, or a charter of rights granted to the barons of 
 England unwillingly by King John, at Kunnemede, for the benefit of community. — 
 1834, The Tory Wesleyan Methodist Conference of England suspend the celebra- 
 ted Joseph Raynor Stephens from preaching, because he had committed the sins of 
 announcing from the pulpit a peution to parliament for a separation of church and 
 state, and attended a public meeting at Oldham to obtain that object. {Stc Minute* 
 qf Conference.) 
 
 JUNE 20. 1837, ROYALTY.— William 4th, tyrant of England, called to his last 
 account by death. Victoria proclaimed.— National Debt, cosUy royalty. Houses of 
 Peers, glory and " the credit system" or making the paper of bankrupt banks pass as 
 if it were money, has brought England, Scotland and Ireland, their 24,306,719 inhabi- 
 tans to this condition, viz. all die people have to labour very unremittingly, day by 
 day and year after year, for a subsistence — they must do it — all except 275,204 per- 
 sons belonging to the higher classes, nobility, capitalists, bankers, &c. Of these favo- 
 rites of "the credit system," 179,983 reside in England, 5,204 in Wales, 29,203 in 
 Scodand, and 61,514 in Ireland. Nearly 100 persons are reduced next door to slave- 
 ry, many below it. to uphold one of these in splendor ! Thc^se facts are from Mar- 
 shall's Stadsdcs. paid for by a parliamentary grant. — 1813, Sir James Yeo with the 
 Lake Ontario fleet landed off Sodus, N. Y., took all the flour, and then set fire to the 
 village of Sodus and burnt it to the ground. , 
 
 JUNE 21. 1839, WILLIAM L. MACKENZIE tried yesterday and to-day 
 before Smith Thompson and Alfred Conklin, U. S. Judges, at Canandaigua, charged 
 with beginning, am providing the means for an expedition against the English power 
 in Canada, from Buffalo, Dec, 1837. N. S, Benton, U. S. Attorney. The Juiy were 
 Dr. Otis Fuller, Naples, Alfred Nichols, do., William Carter, East Bloomfield, An- 
 /'.rew Rowley, Victor, Ezra Newton, Hopewell, Jacob Salpaugh, Manchester, D. 
 Benton Pitts, Richmond, Seth Gates, Phelps, Moses Black, Seneca, James P. Stan- 
 ton, Gorham, Valentine Stoddard, Canadice, Booth P. Fairchild, Canandaigua.^ 
 Judge Thompson charged the Jury strongly against Mackenzie, and they found a 
 verdict accordingly. He was sentenced to 18 months confinement in Monroe County 
 Jail, and fined ten dollars. N. S. Bentt n conducted the prosecution for the U. S. — 
 The States evidence were Jos. B. Latlirop, Ex-Police Justice Barton, Ex-Sherifi* 
 Lester Brace, Michener Cadwallader. (editor of the Journal,) Wm. C. Hoyt, all of 
 Buffalo, and Christophr'^ Smith, late custom house officer, Niagara Falls. They were 
 most willing witnesses. The Judge said that the conviction left no stain on Mac- 
 kenzie's moral character ; and he made the same remark when sentencine Van Rens- 
 selaer aAewards. So then there are political oftisnces in the U. S. Statute Book which

 The laws of Congreu go beyond the turn of the ten coramandinenu. 
 
 1639, OEORGB WASHINGTON CASE, of Hamilton, Canada, tried on a •!• 
 milar charge to Mackenzie's. It was proved that he had e abncribed or aaid he gave 
 $60 in aid of an expedition intended against the Canada Tories, which was broke jp 
 by the cowardice of those connected with it. Mr. Garrow the marshal, and his depu- 
 ty, Malcolm, were the chief states evidence, of his admissions when in their custody. 
 — JndgeaConklin and Thompson gave him 13 months in jail and $20 fine. 
 
 1838, Sir G. Arthur issues a proclamation for the persons engaged in the Short 
 Hills expedition, near Niagara Falls, stops the ferries, and states that the patriou 
 had defeated a detachment of militia, 6lc., that day. 
 
 JUNE 22. 1812, Napoleon declared war asainst Russia. — 1807, The American 
 frieate Chesapeake sailed from Norfolk. Va. — the English ship Leopard overtook her 
 ana demanded four sailors, which Commodore Barron refused to ffive up. In con* 
 sequence Uie Leopard attacked the Chesapeake, in a time of profound peace, and 
 wholly unprepared for resistance. Three Americans were killed and 16 wounded, 
 including the Commodore, who struck the American flag, and the English Captain 
 sent ail officer on board the Chesapeake, seized four of her crew, had one tried at 
 Halifax and hanged — another died in close confinement — the 3rd and 4th were de- 
 tained 5 years and then restored to their country. The 3 last named sailors were na- 
 tive Americans. — 1679, Battle of Bothwell Bridge, Scotland — the persecuted pres- 
 byterians defeated by the royalists, and hundreds murdered in cold olood. 
 
 JUNE 23. 1817, James Watson,, sen'r. This 'twood, Preston and Hooper, ar- 
 raigned before Lord Ellenboro' for tieason, and acquitted. Castles, the government 
 witness, was proved to be an infamous character and a hired spy. — 46 Englishmen 
 were soon after indicted at Derby for hiffh-treason. — 1 836, The Act regulating the 
 Deposites of the national revenue, and that it be placed in state, district, and territo- 
 rial Banks, passed. In May, 1837, said Banks become bankrupt all over the Union, 
 when indebted 30 millions to the nation. 
 
 JUNE 24. 1314, BATTLE OF BANNOCKBURN. Scotland. The English 
 king had invaded and conquered all Scotland except the highlands ; had taken priso- 
 ner and cruelly murdered the gallant Sir William Wallace, the Chainpion of his 
 country, and cut up his body into four quarters, as tlie English Viceroy Colborne did 
 with the gallant Chenier's body at St. Eusuche, 1837, when the Scotch resolved to 
 be free or die in the attempt, met the English power at Bannockbum, and after a 
 bloody struggle recovered tneir country and drove their English tyrants out of it, at 
 I trust the Canadians will also do before long. This battle gave occasion for Bums' 
 beautiful ballad of " Scou wha hae wi' Wallace bled !"— 1837, The whig Lord Lieu- 
 tenant, Marquis of Normanby, issues an order denouncing orange processions as a 
 public nuisance. — 1837, The Duke of Cumberland, Grand Master of the Orange- 
 men of Ireland, and uncle to Queen Victoria, becomes King of Hanover, and since 
 that time destroys the free constitution of that country, as the English pi.. ,ided re- 
 form government had done to Canada. — 1815, Napoleon surrendered to Capt. Mait- 
 land of the Bellerophon, and arrived in Torbav. He was afterwards cruelly banished 
 without cause to a rock in the ocean, by England, and tliere died.— 1781, General 
 Wayne's armv and an Indian Chief and his tribe fieht a battle with uncommon bra- 
 very. The chief and 17 warriors fell ; the rest took to flight Twelve were overta- 
 ken, bro- jht back, and we reeret to tell it, put to death in cold blood by the General's 
 orders. The Indians at Sandwich lately acted a better part. 
 
 JUNE 25. 1839. TRIALS of Dr. Edward A. Theller and General Donald 
 McLeod at Detroit, before Judge Wilkins, whose conduct is represented as having 
 been fair and manly — very different from that of Judge Thompson at Canandaigua. 
 The defendants were acquitted of the charge, which was the same in substance as 
 that against Mackenzie and Case. The indictments against Col's Dodge and Brophy 
 given up.— 1838. The House of Represenutives at Washington, by a vote of 125 
 noes to 111 ayes, refused to provide the nation with Treasury vaults, in suitable pla- 
 ces, for the public revenue, so that the banks could not borrow and waste it — 1776, 
 Batde of Cnarleston. 
 
 1798, Abominable Alien Law. This day the elder Adams approved of a law 
 of congress giving to the president for the time being the power to banish from the 
 United States any or all aliens (every body except American Citizens !) then in the 
 republic or who might enter the same whose residence he might dislike, or whom he 
 might suspect of unreasonable opposition to his government ; and if such alien or 
 aliens did not depart forthwith (unless licensed to stay by the president) he or diey 
 were to be sent to jail not more than three years ; in all this there was to be no jury 
 trial ; the presideat decided. Aliens thus dmrnmed out of the country might take as

 JUNE 27. 1822, PETER WATSON, Shoemaker, Durham, England, nrof««- 
 cuted, sent to jail and kept there for years, at the suit of the ri^jht rev. father .'in 
 God, Shute Barrington, Lord Bishop of Durham, before the spiritual court rft the 
 established or episcopalian church, for refusing to piiy the holy father rTEN- 
 PENCE, being in lieu of Easter Dues, an offering hen, Peter's Pence, and Smokt 
 Money. The rosts of Court (on the tenpencel reached £ 1000 sterling. This is 
 the established system set up in Canada m sight of this state, by Colborne and 
 Arthur, under English orders. < 
 
 JUNE 28. 1836, James Madison died — 177f, Battle of Monmouth.i— 1838, 
 Lord Durham and bis Council pass and promulgate the tyrannical ordinances 
 which occasion his recall. These ordained that Dr. Wolfred Nelson and ((Othera 
 should be banished to Bermuda without a trial ; and that Mr. Papineau at fd 16 
 others who had never been tried or indicted should be hung without a trial n\ they 
 returned to Canada to be tried— of the latter 16, six were members of the le^^la* 
 ture— in a f->w days after Dr. Nelson and seven others were banished. The SpVB' 
 cial Council to make this law was appointed at 11 o'clocK same day, and the tA*^' 
 dinanee passed at 12 ! ! Not one of them was connected with Canada— they wer% ^ 
 C. Buller, Col. Cowper, Admiral Paget, General McDonell and Col. Grey. 
 
 JUNE 29. 1837. Nathaniel Macun of North Carolina, died at Buck Spring.— 
 He was an incorruptible patriot. He voted for the last war, but against appro- 
 priation bills to uphold it, which had rascally measures of a difTerenl description 
 tacked to them. He was a ^Senator for N. C. and greatly beloved by John Raa- 
 doiph for his sterling integrfiy and wiadom. He was long the leader of the demo- 
 eracy in Congress. He suppiorted Jefferson, Jackson, and Van Buren, voting for 
 the latter for President. He considered the usurpations of the Supreme Court at 
 Washington the eflfoct of its irresponsibility to the people, and the perpetual aala- 
 ries of its members ; he ascribed the corrupt legislation of congress to the six years 
 independence of the senate and the two yearslioliday of the house of representa- 
 tives—and would have substituted aimual elections, — 1836, Dreadful riota at the 
 Leeda, U. C, Election, by the Orange party, who drove the legally elected candi- 
 datea from the poll, and returned Jameson, Attorney General (nuioandof the an- 
 thoress,) and O. R. Gowan. 
 
 JUNE 30. 1686, The Earl of Argyla beheaded tor attempting to deliver Scot- 
 land from wicked government. — 1829, The TariiF Bill, a baae scheme to obtain 
 many millions yearly out of the induatry of the people, for purposes of corruption, 
 under the control of the party in the majority for the time being, burnt by the peo- 
 ple of Columbia, S. C, with the eAgies^f Clay and Webster its advocatea. 
 
 1838, The hyMeritical Lord Durhtas invites ADAM THOM, Editor of the Man- j 
 treal Herald, to his table and seats him at his Council Beard. Thorn had otganized ' 
 the Doric Club, a society fbimed to exterminate the Canadians. Five months before 
 he had also preposed to punish the Canadians for their love of independence, thus :— 
 " The punishment of the leaders, however agreeable it might be to the British mhabi- 
 tanta, would not make so deep and so useful an impression on the people as the light of 
 rtrangtfarmtrt uttltd on thtfarm of each agitator in each Parish. The sight t£ the 
 widew and orphan hawking their wretchedness around those wealthy houses of which 
 they should b* dispossessM would have a good effect. We must not hesitate ia the 
 exeeuii'iTt of this project. Speeial Commissioners should mstantly be named with tn- 
 atnietions to terminate the tnals of this batch of traitors at present in prison. It is ri- 
 diculous to fatten fellows all the winter for the gailows."

 BO hard that you cannot mash it between your thumb and Anger, lose no time in cut- 
 ting it ; the kernel is formed into a consistence and will receive more nutriment from 
 the juices of the stalk in the gavel than standing. Grain cut earlv, will yield more 
 and whiter flour, will waste far less by shelling, and the straw will be worth more 
 than double of that cut late. Look oUen to your fences. Finish hoeing your com.

 in the snnshineof royal bounty, Butler and Brandt, the latter a half Indian, nrgatifsed 
 400 Indians and 1200 YankeeTories (the sires of the b<*ggar bankers), and marched 
 for Wyoming on the Susquehannah, Pa. They took possession of the country, about 
 40 miles square, and murdered in cold blood and unresisting upwards of 254)0 men, 
 women and children ! Historians unite in this fart, that the Indians were far more 
 gentle than tie Yankee Royalists, who destroyed, burnt up, and completely devas- 
 tated the whole country. Their descendants are yet numerous in Canada, and a* 
 cruel as ever. A* Wyoming " men, women and cnildren were locked up in the hou- 
 ses, and left to mingle their cries and screams with the Hames that seemed to mock 
 the power of an avenging Gkxl." The fields of corn were burnt up and the tongue* 
 of horses and cattle cut out. As England, her holy bishops and sanctified monarch, 
 (head of Chrisr.'s Church!) defender of the faith, paid a large price for each white 
 man's scalp, the Indians were also incited by the hope of gam. As at Wyoming so 
 in Ireland, St Eustache, St. Charles, Beauharaois. the Banks of the Ganges, and the 
 plain of Peterloo; English barbarity and cmeltv outdoes and exceeds all the other 
 records in the creation of God. — 1691, Takius of Athlone. — 1776, Congress appoint 
 Messrs. Jefferson, Adams, R. Sherman, Fraiutlin and R. R. Livingston, a committee 
 (by ballot) to draft the declaration of independence. 
 
 JULY 2. 1800, IRISH UNION.— A bill received the royal assent to suppress 
 ky bribery and fraud the Irish parliament, destroy the independence of that na- 
 tion, unite its priesthood with that of England, as the supreme dominant episcopalian 
 church, the Irish aristocracy to send 28 of their lords to the London parliament to 
 vote with 300 English lords, and Dublin, like Edinburgh, to be degraded. All this 
 to go into eflicct Jan. 1, 1801. — 1807, Inconsequence ot the daring insult offered to 
 the United States bv the capture of the Chesapeake by an English man of war. Pre- 
 sident Jefferson orders all British ships to beeone out of the Poru of the U. S. 
 
 JULY 3. 1838, The BANK OF VICKSBURGH, Mississippi, received a Char- 
 ter and was organized by the payment into its vaults of two half-eagles. tllO in sil- 
 ver,and tlOO.OOO In the notes of thecanal and bankine Co. ofNew Orleans, borrowed 
 for the purpose and duly returned. The bank capital, therefore, was just 9120 ; and 
 the directors reported their own notes to the Bank Commissioners as specie, which 
 they credited without examination. The Bank bought pork in large quantities at 
 Cincinnati at 13 to 14 dollars, and sold it at New Orleans at $27 — they raised the price 
 i4 at Cincinnati — paving with checks on themselves, not to be presented for several 
 weeks, or until they had sold the pork and got the cash. They soon went to Davy's 
 Locker, and their shares are now worth only 34. — 1608, Quebec founded. — 1839, Dr. 
 Fletcher, in the democratic convention sitting at Birmingham, proposes to run the 
 Banks, including the Savines Banks, as these establishments furnish the most power- 
 ful means to crush and mislead public opinion, and that too chiefly at the common 
 people's cost. The proposal was agreed to. — 1814, Fort Erie surrenders to the Ame- 
 ricans under General Brown. 
 
 JULY 4. 1836, Mr. Mackenzie issues the first number of " The Constitution," a 
 republican Journal, for an article published in which the government, hnmediately 
 before the revolt, resolved to arrest him for high treason and crush him. — "ttie Re- 
 formers of U. C. defeated at the Elections, by the purchase of the Methodist Con- 
 ference leaders by Sir F. Head and Lord Glenelg. 
 
 REVEREND EGERTON RYERSON, TORONTO.— His father, if we mi*- 
 take not, was from the U. S., a refugee to Nova Scotit , from whence he removed to 
 U. C. and was made a Colonel of Militia, and Justice of the Peace. Egerton was 
 reared for the Methodist Church, and introduced into public life by W. L. Mackenzie, 
 to whom he had submitted a severe criticism on one of fe^rachan's Sermons, in April 
 1826. Mr. M. gave it extensive circulation, and Ryerson and his brother William 
 became known to community as thorough republicans. The Methodists soon after- 
 wards concluded to publish a Conference paper, in which, by mixing up religion and 
 methodism with Canadian politics, thev could add to their influence, and Rverson 
 was chosen as its editor. He was ultra-liberal, praised the U. States as the Lest of 
 all human governments ; and acting with Mackenzie, Bidwell, Rolph and otliers, ex- 
 erted a strong influence over the public milnd. Often have we heard him and his 
 brother William express anxiety for the arrival of the hour in which English power 
 would be crushed forever in Canada. Messrs. Papineau and Viger's career he stea- 
 dily defended, like Dalton of the Patriot. In 1833 he went to England on ynritual 
 business, where Mr. Mackenzie intrpdaced him to Messrs. E. Ellice,Hume and other 
 eminent men. This introducdoaliip artfully useid to injnre the reform interest; was 
 taken in tow by Stanley and Glenelb ^d by Rev. Jabez Bunting and the other vio' 
 lent tory preachers who rule the *W«fl«J*iT Conferences there ; " '

 turned to Canada, caine out in hit press in favor of Sir R. Feel and the tory tyranu of 
 England ; alandered his old rrforming friends ; carried a m^ority of the methodiit 
 preachers in Conference with him ; held out the hope to them of pecuniary benefit 
 to their order, independent of the people, and of a tlo.OOO grant ot money promised 
 him by Qleneig to a College at Cobourg which they had tried to entablish, in order to 
 have the direction of Education ; and obuined the active and zealous co-operation 
 of the whole conference at the last U. C. election of a legislature, to crush the reform 
 miU<"^ty who had stood up so manfully for a domestic, frugal, responsible govern- 
 ment. It was owing to the selfish and mercenary influence of the brothers Ryerson, 
 Ephraim Evans, witli the Conference press, the Christian Quardian under their con- 
 trol, that the reformers lost the elections. E|erton Rverson. then in England, wu 
 unwearied in his efforts to promote Sir Francu Head s interest agaiiut that of the 
 people, as his leuere and conduct fatally show. •••*•••• It wu 
 welt known that if the reformers again carried the elections, and continued united 
 in principle with L. C, the Enslish Government would eive way. Head he recalled, 
 .nA •< responsible ffovernment, aye Independence, ^ieMed to the Canadas without 
 
 bloodshea — and Hisad in his Narradve frankly admita that auch would have been 
 the inevitable resulu had he failed, (p. 420 narrative), which he would have done had 
 Ryerson not been purchased ; for all the powers of official corruption would have 
 proved far too weak, unless backed by the alien itinerant Wesleyaii leaders, their 
 political and relicious journal, and thousands who believed whatever they chose to 
 assert The defection of the brothers Ryerson brought on the bloodshed of Dec 
 1637; encouraged the English government in a violent, merciless career; and the 
 $16,000 to theirpolitical academy was duly paid ; but the jealousy of Strachan and 
 the Church ef England priesthood prevented the slice of the Clersy Reserves from 
 eoming to them, and at length Sir Francis cut Ryerson, who, afVer jBidwell had been 
 banished for his conduct in the early stage of the revolt, suddenly took up his cause, 
 and. as nothing is to be got from the tories now, he joins W. H. Merritt and other 
 greedy and selfish monopolists in crvinff out for the " responsible |pveriunent" hit 
 venal pen and lying tongue had enoDled Head so effectually to withhold. He and 
 his friends see monopoly Banks, Canals, Railroads, Loans, Turnpikes, Internal Im- 
 provements, a public debt of millions, and ti party dividing the spoils, as the gr&nd 
 prise in the lottery of events ; atul under an independent government such aa he will 
 ever be found, sleek and fat, smooth and plausible, on the side where most plunder 
 nan be had ; clothed with a pretended affection for the people, and a hypocritical pe- 
 titioning for that divine direction which the mereenaiy votaries of |iIammon secreidy 
 ridicule and despise. One of Ryerson's brothers, George, led the reformers and 
 methodista and joined Mr. Irving, and the unknown tongues. He has a chapel of 
 that order in Toronto, and is a tory of the first water. He is connected wiui Dr. 
 Rolph by marriage, having wedded hia sister. Egerton Ryerson knows full well 
 that Colonel Young of Balston, in his famous letter of July, 1836, was about right in 
 asserting that under a republican form of government, " a demagogue of tfu prt' 
 "tent (My, backed by a diaeiplined lobby and a fexB mercenary presses, can rifle 
 " more plunder from tne unborn, than ever surrounded the car of a Roman general." 
 Defeated on one tack he has shifted to another which he hopes to make more profita- 
 ble. Mr. Hume, M. P. of London, publicly declared in the House of Commons 
 that in the course of a Ions political life he had never met with any one so utterly 
 worthless and unprineiplea as Egerton Ryerson. The writer knows that frank Un- 
 
 Suage like this makes enemies, -and did he look forward to please parties in order to 
 11 some high office in the state he would be silent. But it never ought to be for^t- 
 Mn in Canaida that when Ryerson came back from London hired to sow dissension 
 among the methodist people — till then the bravest of reformers— he proclaimed, that 
 actin g on his advice X^" I^ >> <"> secret that tlie exertions of the late Editor of the 
 {^Guardian and otfur$ connected wiik him TURNED THE SCALE in favor 
 jpfof the government at the late elections." On whose hea^ is the blood that was 
 shed in a constitutional resistance of that faithless and merciless government?

 loyal leech was brother to the Chief Justice — was elected member of the Canada 
 Legislature for York County, and succeeded by Mackenzie. He was once n great 
 (fformer, but sold the cause for money. In 1819 he voted for a law to make it rrimi 
 lal for Canadians to meet and complain of grievances — he cot many offices, and yet, 
 
 OOO dollars a year proved insufficient for his and the family's rapacity — he Swart- 
 
 outed $80,000 of uie public money entrusted to him. Robinson was'of the family

 oyalty and keeg down the people. So, in 1746, about 35,000 Englisn bayonets were 
 employed to keep the Scotch under the yoke. And at the close of the revolt of 1798, 
 unulthe act of Union had reduced Ireland to tlie degraded rank of an English jtro-

 while they yet lived ; they were hung five minutes only ; their bodies werej 
 quartered, and the heads of Townley and Fletcher placed on Temple Bar, 
 London, whert they remained many years. This is the government which 
 God in his providence permits to curse the face of the earth in half of Nortli 
 America, in 1839. Judge Jones, a demon in human shape passed a sentence 
 like the above on 16 Americana and Canadians a few months ago at Niagara.

 JULY 22. WESTERN N. YORK USURERS.—Nof long since 
 ease came to be tried before Judge Dayton which disclosed »ome more o! 
 the villainy of the bank^. The Cashier of one of the Rochester Banki 
 prosecuted for the value of a note, and the defendant pleaded that the trar., 
 action was dishonest and usur<nns, and brought the president of anolhet 
 Rochester Bank to prove it. This prorident swore that defendant wai 
 greatly distressed for money then, thougli he said he would bo abundantly 
 able to pay. He (^'itness) refused to discount his note m his official capaci. 
 
 ty of president of a safety fund bank, at 7 per cent, but as Mr. S h 
 
 did so at the rate of 3 per cent a month (or 36 per cent per annum ) Wil 
 nesa discounted other notes at same rates, and disposed of them to the 
 cashier of another Rochester Bank (very probably for an equal amount oi 
 paper just as iionebtlt (! ! !} acquired,) but neither of them officially told tin 
 other that there had been fraud in the transaction. This other cashier, ht 
 said, dist^ounted the notes at 7 per cent to him (the dislionest president), am! 
 the judge decided that the transaction was legal, while the convenient law 
 officer put his conscience and oath of office in his pocket, and left the self. 
 convicted usurer unprosecutcd. This is a common occurrence with thesi 
 nuisances the banks ; they find what good notes are offi^red ; lend funds tc 
 officers and directors, while they refuse the most solvent notes of merchanti 
 and manufacturers ; and then with the funds so borrowed meet the men ol 
 business elsewhere and propose to accommodate them at 3 per cent a monti 
 or to give 640 dollars in paper for a note of 1000 due a year hence. Even 
 this Jewish hug they squeeze tighter by importing Essex or using Corpoa 
 tion or other worthless or depreciated trash to transact the business m, which 
 the broker shaves their dupes for, changing at 4 to 6 per cent more. If A' 
 moricans tolerate such things why should they wonder that people 
 Bengal bow before Juggernaut 7 
 
 JULY 23. 1839, Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, of American royalist birth

 This attempt to recover freedom and establish a republic was headed 
 Messrs. McNally, Emmet and other true hearted Irishmen. They attempt- 
 ed this evening to besiege Dublin Castle, but failed — they took possession oi' 
 the city, but were overpowered by the Orangemen and hireling soldiery.-

 ry execution, and exposing it to military execution," &.c. But so long as 
 republicanism held sway in France, the duke's seheme to renew the reign of 
 kings, tithes, priests and nobles proved abortive. 
 
 JULY 26. 1630, The French Ministers report to that whited sepulchre, 
 Charles 10th, that the press must be restricted for its factiousness, and the 
 Parliament reconstructed because of its democracy. Charles's ottiinances 
 against the press and the people, appeared in the Monit ur of this morning ; 
 the editors meet and bolaly protest. 
 
 JULY 27. 1838, THE BRANDON BANK, or '• Mississippi and AI. 
 abama Rail Road Company," had their affairs at this date enquired into by 
 state commissioners, who report that the company had in cash $38,000, and 
 >wed six millions besides the two millions of stock, much of it imaginary — 
 that thby had become dealers in cotton wool and had $360,000 value in it 
 on hand, and had shipped 3 millions' worth and drawn for 1 1.4 millions— 
 that the bank held EXECUTIONS against the people for 1 1. millions, 
 and has issued its promises to pay next year at this time for $360,000— that 
 (with only $38,000 in specie) it has its notes or bills payable on demand in 
 cash scattered through the states to the amount of nearly 4 millions of dol. 
 lars ! ! ! — that its rail road expenditure was only $234,000 (out of 8 mil. 
 lions : ! !) — that it had a variety of agency paper issuing banks, and was mo. 
 nopolizing trade and merchandize — tiiat it owed $520,000 to depositors in 
 its MONEY shop ! — that the paper in circulation far exceeded the lawful lira, 
 it, and as the bank could not pay its promises those who had them sold them 
 at 60 or 70 cents for a dollar, which the public lost, and the cheating direc. 
 tors and their brethren in roguery gained — that the two millions of stock or 
 capital had never been paid in money; those who became shareholders gave 
 their notes ! ! ! or mortgaged property ; and a chosen few of Yankee, Scotch, 
 Irish, English and ot.iCr gamblers got the management of fortune's wheel, 
 with power to make mankind dishonest as far as example would do it — that 
 while the public is suffering by depreciated paper, the bankers, who trade on 
 moonshine, will make 750,000 dollars of profit during the year, and more 
 than that, ir it chose to go into market and buy op its own vile fraudulent 
 trash of b inkrupt promises at 35 per cent discount, it might realize other 
 $800,000, while the people would lose — it would thus, in one year, plunder 
 the state of a million and a half of dollars, on scarcely any capital at all ! I 
 The Commissioners state the way this villainous concern was got up. " The 
 mode by which such enormous profits are realized without cither capital or 
 labor, is very simple. A charter is first obtained from the Legislature. A 
 small portion of stock is to be paid in, before the bank goes into operation. 
 A few honest planters desirous of promoting the improvement of the coun> 
 try, which the bank promises, take stock in good faith and pay it up in bo* 
 na fide capital. Those, however, who are experienced in these matters, 
 pay up as little as possible. But as the latter are financiers, they are elect, 
 ed to manage the bank. They soon discount paper for themselves and other 
 stockholders of financial abilities. With this they buy more properly, to se. 
 cure more stock, to get more discounts, to buy more property, to secure more 
 stock. &c. &,c. and finally they are able to write a very respectable capital, 
 upon which they are permitted to issue double the amount. If, however, 
 the wants of the people are very pressing, they disregard the limits of the 
 charter, and issue ad libitum. The stockholders of Uie bank are now in a 
 fair wav of making money, or at least of acquiring the property of the peo. 
 pie within the sphere of their operations. Nothing can arrest their career

 of gain but a returu to specie paymentu, and this thejr wiP endeavor to pcaU 
 pone aa long as poaaible. So long as a few men can dra tv a proHt of mere 
 than 50 per cent from the labor of the country, for n: crely writing their 
 name on a slip of paper promising to pay their own banL iny given amount, 
 it is natural that they should endeavor to protract their harvest." They 
 add, that a few stockholders, by the art and mystery of banking, have ta. 
 ken from the productive industry of Mississippi, 8750,000 in ono vear on a 
 capital the legitimate intecpst of which would not exceed $50,000 at 7 per 
 cent. Our Canadian friends, who are plundered wholesale by Arthur &, 
 Co in this wajr will now perceive that the Hamilton Msaairr family are 
 not extinct yet in the United States. But to continue : 
 
 The honorable and intelligent state commissioners, Messrs. L. A. Besan. 
 eon, E. F. Calhoun, and James Hogan, show that of the funds of the Bran. 
 don Bank, the 10 Directors had borrowed from the chest of the Bank near. 
 Ip four times the amount of capital said to bo paid in— in short, they had 
 borrowed about three millions two hundred and fifly thousand dollars them, 
 •elves ! ! ! and had pledged 310 slaves, 53,000 acres of land, and 1131 bales 
 of cotton to the bank as security. What madness it is for honest farmers to 
 build up banks to help the public ! It seems that when the Bank refused to 
 pay its debts, attachments were lodged in Biddle's Bank for 29,000 dollars 
 tor protested notes, on which Biddle began to protest the checks of the Bran, 
 don Bank, although he had large sums belonging to it in the U. S. Bank, in 
 order that its other creditors might not know how to obtain their honest de. 
 mands. The honor of the Bank and his own character required that he 
 should have paid the Brandon Bank's checks ^g long as ho had several hun. 
 drcd thousand dollars of its funds in his hands ; yet this is the artful, keen 
 irambler whom a party on this continent would have made treasurer of the 
 United States, and placed its treasury in a national bank ; he the regulator ; 
 foreigners the stockhold rs ! The Commissioners conclude by declaring, 
 that of the 40 banks in tne state, some have acted in woasB faith to the pub. 
 lie, others better ! ! ! 
 
 1839, WILLIAM ALVES, J. G. Parker, Randal Wixson, Leonard 
 Watson, Paul Bedford, Finlay Mjilcolm, James Brown, Robert Walker and 
 Ira Anderson, Canadian prisoners, took passage in the Wellington from Lir. 
 •rpool to Amerit^at after suffering years of English cruelty and oppression. 
 Tc./ owe their deliverance from the horrid grasp of the English government 
 to Wm. H. Ashurst their disinterested solicitor, and to Messrs. Falconer, 
 Roebuck, Hill and Fry their counsel. Mr. Hume, Lord Brougham and 
 other benevolent characters did much for them, and the liberal press aided 
 them. Four days after they sailed for England from Quebec the year be- 
 fore, a plan was formed and within an hcur of being put into execution 
 which would have enabled them to sieze the Captain and hands and steer 
 the vessel into an American port — the irons were sawn off some of the 
 stoutest of them, when Jacob BEEMER firom the London District, U. C. 
 proved a Judas, and informed the captain of their design. This wretch, 
 though tried in Canada, has not been banished with the 14 brave Canadian! 
 his baseness lias sent to N. S. Wales, but is yet in Ei. gland .—1758, Louis,

 Peter Hart anu ' ftrs arrested at Cobourg, ivith arms. They were tried in 
 Sept., and Henry Moon, the informer, with James Stuart and another 
 were the Queen's i,;?;^ tnce. Hart and the others were convicted, and sen* 
 tenced to 5 to 7 yen < *he penitentiary. Letters were sworn to and pro. 
 duoed in court which shewed that Hart, when Editor of the Telegraph at 
 Lewiston, acted as a spy for the Hamiltons, and oflfered for £300 to go ful- 
 ly into the Judas trade for Arthur. 
 
 JULY 29. 1830, Charles the 10th, forgetful of the lessons of the previ- 
 ous 40 years, endeavored to subvert the French constitution, destroy the li- 
 berty of the press, and finally to take back from the people of France those 
 rights and lands which they had wrested from an aristocracy \eat cruel and 
 heartless than the banking monopolists of these states. The pec^Je resisted, 
 and this was the 2d of three days which ended in banishing a traitor king a 
 second time from France, and sending his ministers to a dungeon. 1500 
 Citizens of France were declared by the nation soon afterwards to be enti. 
 tied to honorary decorations for their services during the three glorious days 
 —the King said they should have the decorations if they would swear fideli. 
 ty TO HIM. One thousand of them met and to a man decided in the ne> 
 gative. They said we swear to be faithful to the people, but that did not suit 
 the royal person. 
 
 JULY 30. 1838. ESCAPE FROM FORT HENRY.— Messrs. Mont, 
 gomery, Morden, Reid, Anderson, Stewart, Marr, Kennedy, Chase, Brophy, 
 Stogdill, Tracy, M. Sl T. Shepard, Parker and Watson, escape from Fort 
 Henry, U. C. — the two latter are retaken. — 1829, Daniel O'Connell elected 
 member for Clare County by acclamation, at which time he gave a solemn 
 
 fledge to the Irish people never in life to cease his exertions till the 250,000 
 rish freeholders who had been disfranchised and their rights subverted as a 
 set off against the emancipation bill, should be restored, which rights the 
 40 shilling freeholders of Ireland have not again obtained. 
 KJULY n. 1837, Adjourned meeting of REFORMERS of Toronto at 
 Doel's Brewery ; they agree to a declaration of grievances, rights and duties, 
 recommend auxiliary associations, a convention, and to stand by the Lower 
 Canadians. W. L. Mackenzie appointed agent and corresponding secretary, 
 a committee of vigilance nominated, members to convention elected for 
 city, and resolutions for non.consumption of English manufactures agreed 
 to. — 1836, Capt. Burwell announces that his brother the M. P. P., who had 
 got about 70,000 acres of public lands, and been a most vindictive enemy 
 of the reformers, (he who moved the gift of a sword to McNab for murder, 
 ing his countrymen), was accidentally born in the united states, that he 
 
 " WAS brought through the wilderness in a basket with a bottle or MILE 
 " TO BALANCE HIM AGAINST AN E^DER SISTER CARRIED IN LIKE MANNER ON THE

 AUG. 14. 17%, NATIONAL GRATITUDE.— That without the men, 
 ahipa, arraa, and treasure of France, the United States could not have achieved 
 their indnpeqdenco, is clear. Yet what was the return they made that gallant 
 nation wliun struggling for iheliku freedom from foreign and domestic tyrants? 
 This day the President and scniite ratified a treaty of perpetual friendship, navi- 
 gation and commerce with England's arisiocracy, America's ancient tyrant, 
 ct>mmonly called Jay's treaty, broke faith with France in her hour of trouble, 
 when the despots of the old world had combined against her, and refused her 
 any aid whatever. Th 1 democrats opposed this course, but in 1837-8 acted just 
 the aame pa towar'' he Canadians. The House of Representatives asked the 
 President to ^ ■« be them the correspondence what had passed relative to Jay's 
 treaty; also "♦iona to Joy, but be refused, and no wonder! The honest 
 
 and faithful re;, viius - /ere greatly agitated at this most unequal trcffty, which

 AUG, 15. 182'^ GEN> ' L LAFAYETTE arrived at New York on a visit

 the service of mankind, once more crossed the sea to revisitthcscencs <>f bis ew- 
 lier battles, the objects of his vouthful ardor, the remains of his ancient friend-

 ed. From twelve millions of people the accents of joy and gralulation at once 
 burtt forth, repeated through the counilesa cities that stud tneir vast territory, 
 echoed through their unbounded savannahs and eternal forests. It was the gra- 
 titude of the whole nation graven on their horis in characters that could not bo 
 eflkoed, transmitted with their blood from parent to child, and seeking a vent 
 impetiious and uncontrolled, wherever its object, the general benefactor and 
 friend, appeared. All was rational and reflned. The constituted authorities an- 
 awered to the people's voice— the Legislature itself received the nation's guest m 
 the bbsom of the people's representatives, to which he could not by law have ac- 
 cess — he was hailed and thanked as the benefactor and ally of the New World

 wt^ich it remained a year under the English power. Hull was deservedly tried 
 by a conrt martial and sentenced to be sliot. He was pardoned ; built a splendid 
 mansion, and died very rich, the sentence doing no injury to a character previ- 
 ously disposed of. It is said that Detroit was partly burnt. — 1645, Marquis Mon-

 AUG. M6. 1«37, THE HOUSKOF ASSEMFIY OF LOWER CANADA, 
 before they wprc extin^utshrd by Enfflaiid, address Governor (josford to say. 
 that as tU^ Legislative Council cbtsen by the Ett^rlish giyvernment had refused to pass 
 bills renewing tlve law providing for the educatiou of the people, and for the trial by 
 jury after English maimer; also to agree to bills for improving the administration of 
 justice; tor granting but vne salary tn one oflicer aqd desiroymg pluralities ; for es- 
 tablishing road lawb and for the election of parish and township officers to manage 
 local concents, and be paid by local assessments ; for giving the parishes instead of 
 the priesthood tl>e control of tlie secular concerns of each parish; and as the British 
 governiiiunt continued to refuse all refurm, to apply the public revenue without the 
 pulilic consent, to tax the country by laws inaue in London against the public will, 
 and in all things to despiiiethe Canadian people's opinion, thatit was useless for them 
 to sit legislating where tliey could eifect nothing. Oosford prorogued tliem— Eng- 
 land swept them away. 
 
 On the subject of Lord John Russell's rtMolutions for plunder, robbery aud blood- 
 shed, on behalf of tlieir innocent countrymen they say : 
 
 " It is our duty to icll the mother oaantry, that if she carries the spirit of these res- 
 olutions into effect in tlie go\-emn>ent of British America, and of this province in par- 
 ticular, hf r fufjreuiacy therein will no louger depend upon the feelings of affection, 
 of duty, and of mutual interest, which would best secure it, but on physical and 
 viateriul force, an element dangerous to the governing party, at the same lime that 
 \\ subjects tlte govomed to a degree of uncertainty as to their future existence and 
 their dourest interests, wliicii is scarcely to be found under the most absolute govern- 
 mentsof civilized Eurupe. It is, therefore, our ardent wish that the resolutions a 
 dopted by the two Houses of Parliament may be rescinded, as attacking the rights 
 and liberties of this province, as being of a nature to perpetuata^ bad government, 
 corruption, and abi se of puwer tlierein, and as rendering more just and legitimate 
 the disaffection and oj^position vf the people." 
 
 The above warning was disregarded, and Lord Durham's Kcport tells the result. 
 " Their ancient antipathy against tlfc Americans has terminated. An American in- 
 -vading army may rely on the cooperation of almost the entire French- population of 
 Lower Canada. The iniLitia, on which depends the ma<n defence of tiie Province 
 aghinst external enemies, is completely disorganized. The attempt to arm or em- 
 ploy it would bo merely arming the enemies of tho government."

 AUG. 29. 1632. John Locke born. 1798, The Rev. Jas Gordon of Killegujr 
 relates that Lord Kingsborough caused two Irishmen to be severely ilo§^ed on suspi- 
 ■cion of being rebels, on what ground he did not tell. "While the dranimers were 
 cutting these miserable men's backs withthelish, my lord was employed throwing 
 salt into the cuts ; nor would he allow tliera to be dressed for 24 hours, although the 
 surgeon urged it ! 
 
 AUG. 30. 1813. Col. Scott and Commodore Chauncey take Toronto a 8nd time, 
 ^obtain many cannon and boats, shot, shell«, provisions, !i,c. and bum the berracks. 
 
 1839. MATTILEW CAREY, the celebrated Irish Bookseller, wrote to-a friend 
 " I am greatly below par. 1am fearful that the state of the countnj ia hopelea*. 
 Public morals are at t/je lowest ebb; and private share a portion of the same 
 fate. Regard for self appears to be the predominant feeling: ' Every man for 
 myshelf,' as the Dutchman said when he Iwxl siezrdallhe could Iny his hands on. — 
 Prospects have heretofope been very gloomy in some points of view as at present , 
 but we could heretofore see a little cherub shining aloft to cheer us on our way, but 
 no telescope can enable us to see a cherub aloft at present" This wasthe result of 
 ilia experience during a long and benevolentlifc. He died a few weeks after. 
 
 The Scaffold for Loant and JWaltietc* wns taken by Wardsworth by con- 
 tract, but Ilia men would not touch it— then Riichi« & Hill got it, and their men

 diould be desolated by cvnry me^ina of de-

 was made without any previous declaration

 die commanders enabled the English arraa- 
 (5 Tj. © ment to pass unmolested beneath

 operat'on which must inevitably have been attended with great lost in such a numerous 
 fleet. Not a Danish ship was riffgcd dc the crews were absent. The attack commenced 
 this day (the 2nd) and continued for several days ; 6500 shells were thrown into the city 
 which was on fire in thirty placeSj; tlie timber yards were burnt ; the powder magnzin* 
 blew up; the utecple of the cathedral was in a blaze and fell like St. Eustache, a- 
 roidst the shouts and jeers of the infamous English. Numbers of the aged, the

 the fire of the tnilitary. At last the Danes yielded ratiier than hnve Uie city entire-

 tory records. Honest hearted Americans, remember that, whether intended or not, 
 everjy bank issuing paper money is a natural enemy of your independence and an al-

 SEPT. .'.. ISaa, WALLSTOWN MASSACRE. In Wallttown pariah, Cork coun- 
 ty. Ireland, there are U,U(J3 Calliulica and uno I'rutrKtant, and the whole people aie 
 tuned tu pay thuir tenth sheaf of oau, barley and wheat, aye and their tcMilIi pota- 
 tue, to a holy man, a church of England clergyman, one Mr. McOavin, forinsiruil- 
 ing thato7U protcstaiit. McGavin, fuarful that aonio uf the grain might be lakea 
 away before he got his share, iliegiilly insisted on getting survoyora ond valuators to 
 measure ond value tlicii growinL' i-roi/., to enable iiim to bring them tu an ecclesiastic- 
 al court for the last farthing uf his tithes, although tlouJs and alurmii might destroy 
 the whole crop. Lord Anglesey sent with the parsons and surveyors an anny of 
 horse, foot and artillery, fiencrnl Barry and A/lmiral Evans, who entered James 
 Black's '"arm, who, witii his neifflibora. made some rosistaiico. The magistrates said 
 they would'make short work of it, ordered the soldiers of the 4:)rd tu tire upon tit* 
 Irisn peasants, and some did so, although their commanding otficcr gave no orders. 
 Eleven were wounded, and four murdered! May the sons of Lrin inAmerice 
 never forget this <leed of blood until the robber-government of England is laid pro'- 
 fote in the dn^i! The Irishmen slain were Daniel Regan a boy of 14 — Wm. Uoy'.e 
 fan.-?er, aged 50, (left a widow and five orphans)— James llochf , aged 27, who was 
 to have been that aflernoon married — ana Michael Horragan, also aged 27. Irish*

 the polls even i.: the city of Brotherly Love ! Beware ! 
 
 RUSSIAN PAVER MONEY.— The Emperor Nicholas has just fixed the val- 
 ue of the pai>er rouble ai f^-6 cents, the quantity in circulation being 1000 millions of 
 flollars. This he has done w:*h the approbation of the rich nobles, and without ask- 
 ing the people's consent ; thus le^nlizingby his mere onler a govurnment bankrupt- 
 cy of 500 millions of dollars, if the pap^rwas all i.isucd at the original value prom- 
 ised by the crown, or 77 cents. This paper money was down toI9cciit5 during Na- 
 poleon's invasion, and rose to 27 cents afterwards. Congress or contincntol money 
 depreciated much in the same way.

 1776, WASHINGTON evacuates New York. His army arc described by 
 Paul Alien thus: " His troops might fight, for native valour will sometimes blaze 
 ibrlh ; but ihev could not be depended on. They had no confidence in them- 
 selves, and little in their officers; wore not accustomed to withstand the approach 
 of an enemy, the whistlinzof balls and the parade of discipline. The bravest 
 troops aro but gradually trained to encounter danger; the most cow- 
 ardly will soon learn in actual service to disregard everything |^ but the bayo- 
 net. "The greatest defticiion (to the cause) took plice in the higher ranks of 
 society. The mm and undaunted were the middle chssos, who had possb.iJions 
 dearer to their hearts thnn lands." How like this ia to the state of things back ot 
 Toronto, Dec, 1S37. Vet the Americans conquered ll^and so wilt we. 
 
 1720, THE SOUTH SEA BUBBIiE began to burst, and like many modern 
 schemes to cheol mankind, involved thousands of families in utter ruin. The 
 Houses of Lords and ominons appointed c 'minittecs of enquiry, SirT. Janson, 
 Mr. Sawbridge, SirR. ^'haplain and Mr. Englos were expelled parliament and 
 arrested with other guiliy membere, the chancellor of the exchequer resigned 
 ufHce, was expelled and sent to the Tower; and it was found that in order to in- 
 duce members of parliament to pass the South Sea act large portions of stock 
 had been secretly conveyed to them as a bribe. In order to set this stupendous 
 fraud a going £374,000 of sham stock were lakon by Lord Sunderland, 14>«

 1777, Sir JOH?Y COLBORNE born at Lymingtoti, England, where his father 
 v'as a salt boiler, but the factories were destroyed by the English government 
 laying on excessive taxes on salt, and his father rcncfered bankrupt. In 1786 ho 
 was placed at a charity called the Blue Coat School in London— his father died 
 — his mother married one of those church drones called prebends— in 1794, he 
 was an ensign of (he 20th regt.—he afterwards fought in the Peninsula. In 1828 
 he came to Toronto as Governor, proved himself a corrupt, vindictive and bigot- 
 ted character— strengthened church and state and bank and state — was trnnsla- 
 ted to Lower Canada to murder and plunder the French Canadians wholesale, 
 and institute mock trials under color of which to hang the noblest and bravest 
 of the people's defenders. He married a Miss Yonge, and his two sisters mar- 
 ried her two brothers. The tyranny and taxation of the English power broke 
 his father's heart, ruined his business and shortened his days. Yet his son, the 
 charity boy of 1786, is now the inhuman agent of that baroarous power in Ca- 
 'nada to instruct its legions how to rob, tax and oppress the new world. He is 
 tall and talkative, and the methodist conference have not forgotten that he hates 
 the very nameof an American.— 1781, Battle of Eutau Sprmgs, S. C— General 
 Green defeats the English, who lost 1100 men. 
 
 SEPT. 10. 1813, Commodore '^erry and Capt. Elliott gain a signal victory 
 near Amherstburgh, Lake Eric, ov^r the English fleet under Barclay, which they 
 cnpture.— 1839, Roch de St. Ours, High Sheriff of Montreal died suddenly. He 
 was elected a member of the House of Assembly by the Radicals, accepted a seat 
 in the Lesinlative Council, and as a reward for turning his coat was madj SheriiT 
 in 1836, through the treachery of P. D. Debartzch. He took pleasure in tor- 
 menting the state prisoners in 1837, and to his cruelty mav be attributed the 
 deaths of Messrs. Drolet, Amiot, Lionnais, Boudreau and others. Atone time 
 the prisoners were kept 26 hours without water. 
 
 SEPT. 11. 1814, Battle of Cumberland Bay, off Plattsburgh, between the 
 American and English fleets- death of Commiidore Downie, R. N.— 1777, Bat- 
 tle of Brandy wine, in which Gen. Washington lost 1200 wounded, prisoners or 
 slain. 
 
 SEPT. IC. 1814, Battle of North Point near Baltimore. The English, 7000

 1839, S. P. HART, editor Lewiston Telegraph, and others, tried before Judge 
 Jones at Oobourg, U. C, on the testimony of Henry J. Moon, their captain, (who 
 turned traitor in the hope of apprehending B. Lett and sharing the reward with 
 Foster Sprague,) and Geo. Hart and James Stewart, sailors from the Genesee 
 river, whom Sheriff Ruttan bargamed with to go over to Canada and swear a- 
 way Hart's life or liberty — they hari gone over to begin one of those miserable 
 invasions which have all end('d badly, and Moon embellished his evidence with 
 tales of it :nded murder, robbery, dec. It is probable they intended to carry 
 over Shepard McCorinick one of the murderers at Schlosser. They were sent 
 5 to 7 years to the penitentiary. Hart is fully proved to have been a spy and 
 traitor, under the guise of an independent editor. He offered to impeach honor- 
 able men on the other side, and caused several to go into exile. 
 
 SEPT. 14. 1752, OLD AND NEW STYLE.— The English Parliament pas- 
 sed an act to strike 11 days from the Calendar, and called the 3<1 of September

 chants, IbOO of the Scots Prisoners were granted to them, and sent on shipboard 
 lobe sent to Guinea, to work in the mines there." The English Parliament now 
 lend Canadians and Vankees to Van Dieman's Land instead of Guinea.

 cotch, fighting fur national independence, were victorious over their EngliKh ty- 
 aiits. — 1832, Sir Walter Scott died.— 1780, Arnold and Andreconspiro to betray 
 West Point into the hands of the Englivh. 
 
 SEPT. 23. 1839, BRIBERY.— The Globe of this day shows that the Legia- 
 ature of Maryland is as rotten and corrupt as that of England. The facts are 
 rom a report drawn up bv Col. Woolon a delegate, and chairman of a cominit- 
 eeof enquiry. The rascally legislature received the report, ordered it to be prin- 
 ed, and then managed to suppress it altogether. Col. Wuoton and Mr. McCuI- 
 oh state the Chesapeake ana Ohio Canal Co. and the Ohio Railroad Co. paid to 
 \\x. Joseph J. Merrick Twenty-five thousand dollars for his exclusive ust.>. as a 
 eward for secretly corrupting or unduly influencing members of the legislature 
 loan these speculators millions of money and mortgage the property of Mary- 
 and for payment— Merrick is a relative of the governor's, ana of several mem- 
 lersof the legislature. Thesccompanies also secretly bought the influence of Mr 
 Alexander and Mr. Brewer for 82,000; that of Colonel Kent for 83000; and that 
 Df Philemon Chew for 83000. These men arr not all lawyers, nor were law ser 
 viccH given by any; they were corrupt wretches who were ready to sell honour 
 ind honesty for gain. Americans, 5^shun and despise the sordid wretches. 
 1795, FRANCE adopts the republican constitution, by 914,853 yeas, and 41,- 
 i9'2nays; it therefore becomes the supreme law. It had cost 1,200,000 lives, 
 lid failed because of its dependance on paper money, 200 millions of dollars, and 
 wing to the opposition of English and continental tyrants from without, the de- 
 ei tion of the U. S. from their first and best ally, and the too groat protection 
 ivhich it gave to the accumulation of wealth. Foreign spies anddomestic trait- 
 irs were numerous. 
 
 SEPT. 24. 1791, SAMUEL LOUNT, the Canadian Martyr, was born this 
 lay in a cottage on the banks of the Susquehannah River, near Catawissa, Co- 
 imbia County, Pa. Ho removed to Whitchurch, U. C. in 1811, iml was in the 
 ■, S. during the war of 1R12, and returned to Canada in 1815. Ho ^ i s after- 
 rsrds elected a member of the Canada legislature, and appointed by the covern- 
 iieut a Judge or Commissioner in one of the courts in Simcoo. His brother 
 jeorge is a magistrate and regieiter of lands there. Mr. Lount was a fatmer, 
 iwned a large blacksmith establishment, had agreed to survey one or more town- 
 hips, and was wealthy. He was beloved by hi^ neighbors, generous and brave; 
 if(!reat personal strenglh; upwardsof six feet in height. At the last county e- 
 ociiuii the government created several hundred Hliniii freeholders and sent them 
 liie poll, infuriated with Uquor to destroy the freedom of his election, A after ■ 
 iird fight they succeeded in depriving thep«*ple of a voice.

 said to be 14,000 miles distant. Onboard this christian sluvo ship wei 
 59 Lower Canadiari prisoners, and about 80 others, chiefly from the Uo 
 ted States and Upper Canada, whose bravery at Windsor and Proscott En 
 land'd tyrants could not forgive. After keeping thom nearly a year iu jaii D 
 giving them mock trials, sentencing them to be hung, drawn, and cut 
 into quartets, Governor Poulott Thomson, and the other members of tli 
 Engli-sh government wrote to Arthur and Colborno to send them into pc 
 p'Hual slavery. They were heavily manacled, chained in couples, convcvt 
 to Quebec a humiliating spectacle, put on board the slave.sliip, stript 
 ked, their heads shaved as smooth as an apple, their bodies washed and Fcrul 
 bed, canvass shirts and tr^wscrs put on them, their dresses made like tiial

 o:ie of the most plausible pretexts for obtaining vast sums to squander

 property, ruining thousands, destroying trade, and extinguishing person 
 credit. On the 15lh uf Feb. 1823, at Frankfort, 700,000 dollars of t!

 for Ireland, and only made to be betrayed by the faithless English bank note 
 ^ociacy, who for a hundred years afterwards were isystemaiic only in their

 OCT. 6. 1939, SLAVERY.— The Boston Quarterly Review of this tin 
 truly affirms, that "the democratic pa; ty puts forih principles which must in 
 end abolish slavery, and do it too at the very day, the very hour when it can] 
 done with advantage to the cause of freedom, of justice." It adds, that il 
 are causes at work which will yet free the slave with the consent and joy of 
 master. If dcniocratic principles triumph this will be the case; and if not 
 only ulternaiive is mentioned in our 15ih page, to get rid of slavoiy by acciuii 
 a national debt, which will not be necossarv, 
 
 OCT. 8. 1839, THE UNITED STATES BANK was chartered by thcSi 
 of Pennsylvania, who have ever delighted in "internal improvements," baii 
 of conupi banks, state debts, and a rotten Byatcm. Yet they aredemocrnts 
 support Jackson and Van Buren. The Bank bribed its charter thvough the 
 gislature. This day it beromc bankrupt, was insolvent, refusfi! 'o pay its m

 brought irotn Europe that its drafts on its Paris agents fornbout (• o millions

 lected and s.iipped to England, to help the tory bank there, four and a half i ilHcers ^327 
 
 lions of dollars. Its shares, not long since worth 117 dollars, and on the 
 
 inst., worth 103, fell in New York to 70, or from 44 millions for its whole st 12 the peopl

 Ints 01 -^oii hnonces on oath have been oflencr violated than obicr^kd. und 
 a temptsiion to fraud. In this state the sann.. kcga of doilar^ have often |iro- 
 thoUank Commissioners from Bank *o bank and from town to town. In 
 bi'co case has just occurred shewing what regard is tobepaidtooatlisunder 
 1 charters, which pre just ihu same as those legislative frauds thu! prevail in 
 states. Rend it. Last month Mr. Coates, teller in the Montreal Branch 
 k, Quebec, waa prosecuted for walking dowuinto the Bank Vaults and steal- 
 thcictrom Kifty-nino thousand Dollars. He was tried a few days ago, but it 
 ikl notbe proved that he really did tpke the $59,000 and ho was acquitted.— 
 <M)ine things v.eru proved, and here ihey are. It is required of the Banks 
 itiliey puiilish on oath periodical statements of their afTairs, the cash on hand, 
 signed by the effic3rs. This they always do, correct to a brass farthing, 
 rn, ai>d attested. Or enquiry it was proved that ilr. Teller Coates had of- 
 in his possession b.im.sof money as high ua ono hundred and twenty thou- 
 doUars, ami that nlihoueh the officers of the Mentrtal Bank had sworn that 
 h.id counted and :!iat there were such p.nd such sums in their bank and 
 ciu'9, from I.. lie to time, thoy had not, previously to Feby. 1839, counted 
 money in Coates' p'tsscsaion during the space of three years!! The samj 
 kof Montreal once g.-»» a charter from the Canadian Legislature, following 
 pestileniiat example of this state, and when Mr. Mackenzie was in London 
 832, ho found that the officers and directors had borrowed for their own use 
 whole copital stock of the bank and a little more. These Canadian institiN 
 s are in general just as honest as those in these states, they are founded iw 
 id; their very charters qivo the lio direct to the fathers of iho republic and 
 declaration of 1776.— 1492, This evening San Salvador, one of the Bahama

 This Bank, says the Albat;y correspondent of the Journal of Commerce 
 is date, was indebted at the time of its faihire to theU. S. guvcrnment and 
 ^iHcers 8327,625. A Committee of the Legish ture of Mass. report that its 
 niiial capital was 8300,000; that 8""9,952 of its tjotes were in circulation a- 
 V the people; that itsprosidoiii an i directors had helped themselves to 8630,- 
 being tho wliole capital and a part of other people's money left on deposit; 
 other 8636,957 had been advanced to glass companit >, associations, and in- 
 uals, utterly worthless or of doubtful solidity; and tiiat its hills discounted 
 eonly 8157,769, and these chiefly to accommodate borrower? and not on ba- 
 ts transactions. This was the U. S. government pet ba'ik, and under the 
 irul of its partizans, and the result shews that if the people will allow thii 
 idulent system to go on, men of both naities will cheat the country, hire pres- 
 to cloak their villainy, and u>»e their ill gotten wealth to obinin more. After 
 owing the capital and part of the loans, the managers got rid of their bhd spe- 
 tions in companies, and the bad debts due thein by individijals by discount- 
 worthless paper and in the end cheating the community — 1839, W, L.

 NOV. 5. 1688, King William of Orange landed in EnKlandwith an army to nid 
 tb« nation in the recovery of tome of its lihertiet, and to dentruy others. He sailed 
 from Holland, down imd-channel between Calais and i)over, on Saturday, tlia 
 3rd of November, about noon. The spectacle was magnificent. The npiiosiia 
 shores of I^ranre and England were lined with multitudes of npectators, who gnrrid 
 with strong and opposite emotions, for several hours, unon the vast armament tno- 
 ving in aline iventy milts in extent, and charged wiin the rival fortunes nf prin- 
 ttt, religiont and naliona. The fleet waa in sight of the Isle of Wight by the

 NOV. 6. 1838, Capt. Narcisse GHEGOIUE, a brave Canadian, waa tliis day 
 atruck by a ball in the chest, at the H^lit at La Cole, whore a hard fought struggle 
 took place between the torirs and Canadians. He died asking " How do we stand 7" 
 He was told the truth, and his last words were, "()h, my unfortunate country I are 
 you again unsuccessful in repelling your tyrannical foe ! I am dying, Goa have 
 merey on me I I am gone." Such too were the struggles in the old war of '76. — 
 Waa it tp establish a nest of sharpers in Wall street, 1000 money changing, lottery 
 ticket shops, and 800 monopolies of vile usurers and money mongers, with privileges

 Surely no. 
 
 1837, CANADIAN REVOLT.— This day tlie English government began to 
 force the Canadians into a premature revolt. A youngmen's association called "The 
 8ons of Liberty," held tlieir UBUul monthly meetmg in Montreal. The government 
 party stated at an early hour their intention to asauult these young men. During 
 this meeting, stones were thrown at the young men, yet this passed unrescnted.— 
 On their way home they were assaulted —the assault was repelled — their opponents 
 retreated, and the magistrates called out the troops, and tliey paraded the streets 
 accompanied by several pieces of cannon. The "loyal assailants of the Sons of Lib- 
 erty, now safe underthe protection of English bayonets and artillery, were not slow 
 in committing excesses. The most promiaent of these was damaging Mr. Paplneau's 
 property ; after which they broke into the office of the Vindicator, which they ut- 
 terly destroyed. Since that day they have had undisturbed possession of Montreal. 
 Lord Qosibrd dismissed 70 Justices of the Peace, issued warrants against the mem- 
 bera of the legislature by dozens, arrested hundreds of innoaent men on mock char- 
 ges of high treason, filled the dungeons in the cold winter, and in 34 hours utterly 
 ai^ihilated liberty of speech and of the press, and subverted a royal constitution. 
 T'^O'V. 7. 1838, Battle of Odletown between the Canadians and Loyalists — tlie 
 latter victorious. Jacob Honshman, a quiet, peaceable American shot down wan- 
 tonly near the lines by the loyalist volunteers, after the battle had ceased. — The

 don inv'te the king to a Banquet in the Egyptian Hall, but Sir Robert Peel replies

 NOV. 8. 1519, Conez the Spaniard entered Mexico, to conquer, enslave and op- 
 
 SresB it. — 1832, Lord Goderioh (Earl of Ripon) addressed a very lung dispatch to 
 ir J. Colborne, in reply toMr. Mackenzie s remonstrances and the memorials of 
 95,000 Canadians. All the reforms promised were, under various pretexts, with- 
 held. A secret dispatch, since obtained, gave the lie to the public one. 
 
 NOV. 7. 1799. Napoleon Bonaparte and his brothers and army upset the 
 French; government and new-model It. — 1775, Montrttal taken by the Americans,

 In a memorial to Congress from Ogdensbur^li, signed oy Henry Van Ronsselaer, 
 Aid-de-camp to Governor Seward of N. Y. it is ntated, that An extent of country eX' 
 caeding 40 miles appeared aa it were one entire sheet of tlame. The ascending 
 light etthia burning country was witnessed afar oil' by the inhabitants along this 
 fronder. And the exciting spectacle ef human miaery, waa too painful for a Chris- 
 tian people to behold. Men, women aud children, rubbed of every vestige of ap- 
 parel, lay naked, frozen, aud dead along fences and under hedges. Some ^w fortu- 
 nately reached our frontier towns, and were aaved from perishing liy American Sym- 
 pathisers. 
 
 NOV. 12. 1838, INVASION AT PRESCOTT.— The patriots landed near tho

 ihoonerCol. Worth and Garrow the Marshal seized on Wednesday, and carried 
 iff to Sacketl'a Harbor. The Telegraph arrives with U. S. ti-oopj — a body of loyal- 
 , 400, inarch from Brockville — tlie English steamboats Cobourg and Traveller ar- 
 ve at Prescott with troops — the whole number of patriots was ISO. One of tho 
 hoonera seized was Engliah. They were lying at anchor on the U. S. tide, in tho 
 rer, all Tueaday. Some cowardly fellowa had gone off with them on Monday night 
 'roin the other aide. 
 NOV. 13. 1838, Tuesday, at 7 the steamers open a fire on the wind 
 ill in possession of Von Shultzo and tho patriots — a battlo takes place bo. 
 ween the loyalists and patriots, in which the latter are vietorious after » 
 reat slaughter of their bncmics. Aftor this night tho patriots had no oan. 
 on balls — they were in the schooners!! So far back as 7th Fob. 1813,

 1336, NEWFOUNDLAND ELECTION; near opproach to a revolt ; 200 to-

 out to take possession of the Streets of St. John; Fort 'Townshend Hei|hts 
 planted with English Cannon bearing upon the city, over the hustings ; Kent 
 and Morris elected in spite of the government and carried through the streets in 
 triumph; the regulars again tnke possession of the city; on the 19th the NeW' 
 toundiand Patriot publishes the U. S. Declaration of Independence, and Mr. 
 Speaker Canon declared that if one musket had been fired, " some thousand 
 
 Sunners had their sealing muskets loaded and primed, ready to avenge the bloody 
 aed." The Newfoundland Editor bids the government figure to themselves a 
 snow storm, the snow 4 feet dee|i ; and reminds them how powerless the troops 
 would be against the people. " Six Thousand of the best Gunners in the British 
 dominions, who are invulnerable both in the storm and in the battle, and who on 
 the rolling billows would pick the eye out of a seal at a distance that would bid 
 defiance to the puny musket of a veteran Ware the designers of this attempt to 
 bear in mind that if the life of any of iho-^e on whom they principally direct their 
 vcnscance, had been taken on that fatal day, months, no, nor years woukl efface 
 from the mumory of those six thousand well armed and well disciplined hardy 
 eons of the ocean, until they would revenge the bloody deed." 
 
 NOV. 16. 1830, The Duke of Wellington and Sir R. Peel, chiefs of the 
 tory section of the people's oppressors, announce that the Whigs had obliged 
 them to resign their power. — 1837, The Canada government, to goad the 
 people into a revolt for which their oppressors were prepared, arrest Andre 
 Ouimet, President of the Sons of Liberty, J. Dubuc, F. Tavernier, M. Le. 
 blanc, Dr. Simard, &c., on a charge of Ligh.trcason. Aimable Norbcrt Mo. 
 rii of Quebec, and other leading men, had been previously placed in dun* 
 geons there. These arrests caused the first effusion of blood. A small party 
 of cavalry were escorting Dr. Davignon and the P. M. of St. John's (Mr. 
 Demaray) to MontrcalJail, and treating them with cruelty and insult, when 
 the farmers stopt them, upset the vehicle in which the manacled prisoners 
 were tied down, and set them free, driving off the soldiers. On this the Mon- 
 treal Courier cried out, '♦ blood has at last been shed by the rebels — the long 
 desired blow has been struck — no British subject could desire belter things."

 gallant Von Schoultz and his brave band had to surrender themselves prison, 
 ers — 149 surrendered to the enemy, 15 were killed, and 16 escaped. SirGeo. 
 Arthur offi'iially informs Lord Glenelg that 5000 militia were on the ground, 
 besides the regulars, and they had the armed steamers and two 18 pounders 
 playing on the windmill. As proportioned to the number engaged, more men 
 fell in this contest than at the bloody battle of Waterloo. The American 
 patriots gained immortal honor for their race and name. Wm. Johnson and

 giment of Glengarry Militia, writes Bishop Macdonell, Cornwall, " We pro^ 
 ceeded towards Beauharnois by a forced march, burning and laying wasto 
 the country as we went along ; and it was a most distressing and heart rend, 
 ing scene, to see this fine settlement so completely destroyed, the houses 
 burned and laid in ashes ; and I understand the whole country to St. Charles 
 experienced the same ; the wailing and lamentation of the women and chil* 
 dren, on beholding their houses in flames, and their property destroyed ; their 
 husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, dragged along prisoners : and such of them 
 u did not appear, were supposed to be at the rebel camp."

 1837, (Wednesday) THE BATTLE OF ST. DENIfiuiii which the gal- 
 ant Dr. Wolfred Nelson defeated the English regulars an'i^drovc them back, 
 as preceded by warrants from Lord Gost'ord to arrest the Canadian leaders, 
 hich aroused the people to resistance. Dr. Davignon and Mr. Demaray 
 ere arrested on a charge of high treason at St. John's. Instead of convey, 
 g these prisoners quietly to Montreal, direct by the rail-road, the cavalry 
 at captured them, resolved on striking terror through the country by mareh. 
 g them around by Chambly and Longuciul, a distance of thirty.six miles, 
 ith iron fetters on theiir hands and feet, and ropes around their n^QCks. The 
 opie of Longueiul assembled and rescued the prisoners. Ifti'mediately a 
 rce of 800 men, with four pieces of cannon and a howitzer, was despatched, 
 le half to attack St. Denis, the remainder to storm St. Charles, where sev. 
 alof the leading reformers from Montreal had retired. So little expccta. 
 m was there that such an armed force would be sent to arrest half a dozen 
 ' eivilians, that no preparation bad been made to oppose such a body . — 
 here were not mors than thirty men at St. Denis previous to the arrival of 
 • troops, and these wero collected to prevent the sudden seizure of Dr. 
 elson, by constables. The same may be said of St. Charles. When it was 
 own that the troops were coming, the tocsin was sounded— a crowd of a. 
 ut 300 men, armed some with fowling guns, and others with pitchforks, 
 sembled at St. Denis, and aAer an engagement Of six hours and a half, 
 ulsed the soldiers, with a loss of fifty men and one piece of cannon.

 NOV. 25. 1837, (Saturday) BATTLE OF ST. CHARLE.<3.— The En. 
 fliah, about 700 strong of regulars, infantry and cavalry wore led against a 
 mob of honest farmers, 3000 pcrhrps in number, ill arniml and ignorant of 
 war. Colonel Welherall says : " The march was accomplished without op. 
 position or hindrance, except from ihc breaking down of the bridges, dec. &c. 
 until I arrived one mile from this place, when the troops were fired at from 
 the lefl or opposite bank of the Richelieu, and a man of the Royal Regiment 
 wounded ; several rifle-shots were also fired from a baro immediately in our 
 front. I burned the barn. On arriving at two hundred and fifty yards from 
 the rebel works, I took up a position ; they opened a heavy fire, which was 
 returned. I then advanced to another position ono hundred yards from the 
 works; but finding the defenders obstinate, I stormed and carried them, 
 burning every building within the stockade, except that of the honourable 
 Mr. Debartzch; which, however, is much injured. The affair occupied a> 
 bout ono hour. The slaughter on the side of the rebels was great : only six- 
 teen prisoners were then made. I have counted fifiy.six bodies, and many 
 more were killed in the buildings, and their bodies burnt." The patriot ac. 
 count, as copied into the U. S. papers is in the same strain as that of Colonel 
 Wetherall. They state that he flanked his operations by a murderous dii. 
 charge of grape shot upon tha .crowds of peasants, adding to the cannon-ball 
 and bullet the bayonet and torch. The farmers fought bravely till charged 
 by the bayonet, ^u^^hen the butchery was dreadful. Upwards of one hun- 
 dred were in a bam, full of hay and straw, which was set fire to, and they 
 were burned alive or smothered. The malcontents lost, at least, five hun- 
 dred men by shot, fire and water. Another account states that nearly one 
 hundred men were driven into the river, and perished. The village of St. 
 Charles was entirely destroyed in the attack ; the houses having been al. 
 roost all fired by the soldiery. The royalist account, in the N. Y. Albion of 
 Dec. 23J, p. 406, says that Col. Wetherall " enfiladed and knocked over 
 the pallisadeR, with his artillcrv, after siluncingr the enemy's guns, formed 
 line andC^riARGED WITH THE BAYONET, UNDER THE OLD 
 BRITISH CIIEER. Though four or five to one in nnnibor, the poor wretch, 
 es who had hitherto stood fire well, soon broke, but not before the troopi 
 were amongst them. Between two and three hundred were killed, and the 
 remainder fled in all direclioos, spreading terror and dismay far and near.— 
 Col. Wetherall had three killed and seventeen wounded, only, for the Cant. 
 dians fired badly." 
 
 1783, New York evacuated by the English army. G«gland has since 
 sent a far more dangerous force of Jews, brokers, bankers, importers, agent) 
 quacks and speculators, in the place of the other, who teach the Americans 
 thoiiC infernal arts which undermine national virtue and take away that 
 peace and happiness which can never be restored, 
 
 NOV. 26. 1838, Mr. Kcilchen, Rnssian Consul jit Boston, arrested in 
 the catholic church of Montreal, and his trunks rifled, on suspicion of con- 
 spiracy to aiii iho Canadi-'ins. Colborno released him. — 1688, KingJamei 
 Slid arrives at London; and while one of his daughters and her husktwid, the 
 Prince of Orange, wsrt invading hia kingdom, the other. Princess Anne, 
 had gono off to his enemies. He burst into tears, and cried, " God help me 
 my own children have forsaken me." Much neeid have kings and peasanti, 
 slaves and masters, of faithful and true instructors. Prince&s Anne had 
 been educated by moan divines of the Church of England to take pleasuie 
 in seeing its niiuiatera crushing, worrying, banishing ,and imprisoning diii'

 REVOLT NEAR TORONTO, 1837, Saturday. Dr. Rolph sent a verbal mei 
 ■age to Mr. Gibson and Col. Lount, which the Colonel and also Mrs. Lount stated to 
 me as follows — " The government were giving out the arms (of which they had 4O00 
 •' stand) at 'he city Hall, Toronto, and arnnngmen to fill the garrison, and form couipa 
 " nies to arrest the leaders of the expected revolt, through the country betwixt Biid 
 " next Thursday (the day we were to rise); the government had given out 1000 stand 
 "and beentold of our plansfor Thursday, and therefore Col. Lount and his men must 
 " be in town on Monday night." Tliere was no word of concealing arms, no letter. 
 Mrs. L. received the messenger, her husband being from home, but all the country 
 knew before her or Col .L. The messenger left Gibson's on Sunday at 4 in the morning, 
 Mrs. Lount asked, "Is Mackenzie aware of the change?" The messenger did not 
 know, but supposed he was. Chief Justice Robinson's brother \Vm. toiti Mrs. L, 
 afterwards " tiiat government were entirely ignorant of the day of the revolt, 
 " and that a story had been iin;»oped on Dr. R. to get someUiing out ol" hint." He fur- 
 ther said that " his brother, the C. J., and the Governor, Head, were in their bedj 
 " whet- "^ll escaped to them widt the news that the rebels were at his heels, 
 
 " The distrusted nothing, and were surprised not to see Toronto in flaines, 
 
 '* The^ t know what to do for the city, but hastened to f)ut their goods and fa- 
 
 " milie . ooaid the Transit stcurner, determined to retreat and leave the capital in 
 "Mackenzie's hands the moment the rebels appeared. Their families never lell 
 "the steamer until, on Thursday, the • royalists gained the victory." Mrs. L, 
 like me, is sure that the Robinsons were for the revolt. When the council met ad 
 agreed to arrest Mackenzie, the Chief Justice bade them " let him alone." Had not 
 matters gone too far, Col. Lount would have disobeyed Dr. R b order, but every hodj 
 knew. The going was very bad. " I'm afraid" said the Colonel to his wife "that 
 " Dr. Rolph is going to be the ruin of us. I believe he is mistaken as to their finding 
 •' out the day — I think he'p only frightened." Mr. Silas Fletcher had left tlie citt 
 on Saturday night, and talke.l with men of all parties in it, and been all over it, an'j 
 had not heard a word of the news by Dr. R. aoout the arms, &,c. He came to Col 
 Lount and said Dr. R. was mistaken, for all was quiet. Dr. R'snews, however, am 
 the intelligence that the Canadians i)elow had suffered heavy defeats discourage) 
 the farmers. Mackenzie was then at Stouffville, delivering sealed letters to the Ca- 
 tains of town8hii)8 for Thursday the7rh. That Sir F. Head was entirely ignorai 
 of our designs his dispatches show. We never thought of a delay beyond 3ij 7tl 
 After our defeat, he writes to Lord Glenelg— " Mr. Mackenzie, under these favour! 
 able cirqumstances, having been freely permittad by me to make every preparatii 
 in his power, a concentration of his deluded adherents, and an attack upon the city 
 Toronto were eecredy settled to take place on the night of the 19rii instant." The]

 s^e, and left a widow and eight children in Canada. His wife is the niece of Gene- 
 ral Herkimer. He wrapped the tricolor flag round hit mangled body, lay down, 
 and expired. 
 
 Before leaving the fleld. Adjutant Cheeseman of theUd Essex, brought up a pris- 
 oner whom he had taken. He surrendered him to Colonel Prince, who ordered 
 him to be immediately shot on the spot and it was done. The man was flrst shot in 
 the shoulder and severely though not mo'".ally wounded — a second shot carried 
 away part of his cheek, — a third wounded him in the neck, after which he wasbayo- 
 netted to death ! The 2d prisoner, (who was wounded) was brought into the town 
 of Sandwich, at least two noura after the engagement, and was ordered to be shot 
 on the spot. It was proposed to give him " a runybr /us ///e." This barbarous 
 proposition was acceded to and in an instant a dozen muskets were levelled for his 
 execution. At this moment, Col. \Vni. Elliott exciuimed, ' D—n you. you coward' 
 ly rascals, are you going to murder your prisoner!" This exclnmution for ore 
 instant retarded the fire of die party, but in llie next the pri.soner was brought to iIir 
 ground, he sprang again to his I'eet and ran round the corner oftl:« fence where !'« 
 was met and bhot through the iiead. His name was Bk.v.vk'IT. Into u rcsitientin ;l.o 
 London District. His death look place in our most publie sfrerf. and in the pre- 
 sence of several ladies and children. Another prisoner nasin' I Dk>^i*oi«, also 
 wounded and unanned, taken after the action, was brought in durincr U':C morning. 
 Charles Elliot, Esq. who was present when Col. Prince ordered tliis man r<i lio shot, 
 entreated that he might be reserved to be dealt with according to the lutes of the 
 country, but Col. Prince's reply was, ' D — " the rascalshoot him, and it was dune ! !' 
 When Col. Prince reached Windsor he was informed that S tephen Miller, one of the 
 Patriots was lying wounded ut the house of Mr. Wn). Johnson. The man, whoso 
 leg had been shattered by a musket ball, had been found by Francois Baby, Esq 
 Col. Prince pave the order for his execution and he was dragged out of the house 
 and shot. The wounded man said he was 35 years old, owned a farm in the 'town 
 of Fiorence, Huron County, State of Ohio, and he had a wife, and a boy about 19 
 years old ; he talked about his wife and son, and wished tlmt his wife might be 
 written to. Soon after this a party of militia men dragged him out of the house, 
 and shot him. Miller was wounded between 7 and 8 in the morninsr and was shot 
 at noon : the action was over about 8 o'clock. MUIcr lay unburiea all night in 
 tkestreet and was completely disembowelled, and other parts of him eaten by 
 the hogs ! Capt. Brodorick of the Regulars left a prison'ir in charge of a dragoon ; 
 " Prince fell in with this prisoner, ordered him to be taken from his guard and 
 (Aot, which was done." !! A party ofia I iaas who wysise sent into the woods, took 
 prisoners. When they brought tiiem out a cry was rai.sed. "bayonet them!" but 
 ardn, one of the Indian braves, replied, " No, we are Christians ! we will not 
 urder t/um!" — But when these men were delivered to Col, Prince, he had them 
 ilaced in a waggon, vid when it reached an open iipot opposite the barracks, he com- 
 Mnded them to be taken out and shot. On this Mr. James cried " For Ood s 
 8 news however, anilfcake do not let a wliite man murder those whom an Indian spared !"

 DEC. 7.— TOKONTO REVOLT, 1837, Monday 4lh, to Thursday 7th. indusiva 
 Early on Monday morning. Col. Lount, and ONLY lOU men, (Cupt. Stewart, R. N. 
 aaya 75 to 125) left the borders of Lake Bimcoe for the city. So open was the 
 movement, tliat the whole body of half pay otiicerson their fine of march insf.ntly 
 prepared to worn Sir Francis. (See Stewart's Norrative.) On the previous night, 
 MackenAe. when within 9 miles of Toronto, heard of Dr. Rolpli's order, and sent olf 
 Mr. Uibson's man to Simcoe to stop it, and informing Col. Lount that the government 
 had given out no arms, and were entirely ignorant of our ilesigns, except of course 
 Mr. Hogg's story, wliich was intended for Sir Francis, and very cleverly told. Mac- 
 kenzie fclso sent for Dr. Rolph. to meet him and Gibson near the city, which he did, 
 about one, P. M. ; he (Kolph) having previously endeavored to countermand his or- 
 ders to Lount. through Mr. Geo. Bolton, on hnding he had been deceived, Tlie 
 three were unable to decide on the precise course to be adopted that night, because 
 they could not tell whether Lount would come or stay, whetlier if he came he would 
 travel secretly so that his men might bo scattered in fanv. houses, cr whether he 
 would come armed and openly Uirough the mud. In the evening Mr. Gibson's man, 
 brought word that Lount was on his way, and the rising known all over. That moment 
 messengers were despatched in every direction to rouse the reformers ; Mackenzie 
 and three others seized every suspicious person they met on the road, and confined 
 them; and the patriots as they arrived, fatigued, hunm-«, dispirited and disappointed, 
 asked for Morrison, Rolph, &c.. and for the thousands they expected to hove met— 
 If 750^acked out on Tuesday, 100 could ill be persuaded to go forward on Monday. 
 The leaders in town sent us no word, none of tnem joined the body they had called 
 into action, nor did they attempt to organize or marsnal our friends in the city, or send 
 on some of the boldest among them to cheer the countrymen. Bidwell, who wa> 
 anxious for our success, kept aloof from the storm he had done all he could to raise, 
 and thought but of ««//*. When did hs think of any thing else ? 
 
 As Mr. William Alves behaved throughout with great courage and intrepidity, hii 
 reply to some strictures of the Editor of the New York Reformer, which is correct 
 as to facts, is copied from that journal. 
 
 [E.XTRACTS from a T.ETTEK from CilPT. ALVES TO MR. RUDD, N. Y.] 
 
 ''I am a native of Scotland, just returned from a British Prison. In the Canadian 
 revolt I took n very active part: witnessed Mr. Mackenzie's conduct from first to 
 last ; was taken prisoner after his his defeat : and in the winter of 1837-8, occupied a 
 cold and dismal cell in company with the gallant Capt. Mattliews and Gen. Van Eg- 
 mond. I was heavily loaded with chains and fetters, the effects of which and the ex 
 cessive cold, wet and frost, I yet feel. One of my comrades, Capt. M., was removed 
 from the dungeon to the scaffold, on which he suffered with our friend Col. Lount— 
 Gen. Van Egniond intreated to be relieved as he was very old, but they kepthimj 
 ii) till he was so frozen and chilled that he had only to be sent to tlieir hospital an^ 
 thence to his grave. With John G. Parker and others, I was carried to Fort Henry 
 Quebec, Liverpool and London, and should now have been in slavery in Botany Ba; 
 had not Messrs. Hume, lioebuck, Ashurst, Falconer, Hill, and other generous an( 
 good men, taken our cause before the Queen's Courts at Westminster. The final di 
 cisionof t' 10 judges wasi adverse to the wishes of the goverument, and Lord Brougl 
 am brought the whole matter before Parliament, on which we were restored to liberttj

 ascribed to him, he could have taken the Canadas in a month and Toronto in a nigl 
 It is well known to all who witnessed his conduct that it is not to any want of ener| 
 or decision on his part that the failure is to be ascribed. He persevered to the ve 
 last. A hundred of the bravest citizens could have been armed so as to surprise Ti 
 ronto any night at an hour's notice : but to give permanence to such a movemeiil 
 was necessary that the country should be prepared to support the town. The ne

 [I so as to surprise T 
 
 to such a movemeni 
 
 the town. The ne" 
 
 hen Col. L. arrived 
 
 MuDigomery's on Monday eveninf;, he had with him only eif hty or ninety wearied 
 men, who had marched through mud and mire nearly torty miles, carrying their 
 arms. Of the condition of the city after ten in the inomiiig, nothing was known. — 
 None of the gentlemen who had called out this party either joined it. or sent any word. 
 Had Mr. ' 'uckenzie been the leader, Toronto was ours. I was present niidsaw ail. 
 Mr. M. actvised that a guard be placed on the roads, and with three ot his comrades 
 secured a nutiibcr of prinoiiers. He advised with great earnestness that wo should 
 instantly march and take possession of the city, and oH'ered to head thosu who would 
 do so. I well remember that ho was very generally opposed. (Jol. Louni, Mr 
 Lloyd, and Mr. Gibson, who came later, strongly objected to his proposal, until intel- 
 ligence was obtained of the stat^ of the town, or until our numbers vere strengthen- 
 ed. NVhen his intreaties were found to be in vain, he next offered to risk his life by 
 riding iuto the city with only three friends, alliiough a warrant for high treason stared 
 hun in the face, there to rouse our comrades, gain the tidings wistied for, prepare 
 for an attack as early in the night as possible, and bring Doctors Kolph and Murri- 
 ton back with him. The night was auite dark. They had not rode far when they 
 met Powell, the present Mayor of Toronto, and Major McDonell, both of whom 
 
 Mackeni.ie arrested and sent oack with Capt. Anderson and Mr. , strictly 
 
 charging them to keep the prisoners in front. Mackenzie then continued his course 
 for tiie city with one companion, n daring act, but evidently necessary in the state of 
 feeling of the men. in order to efl'ect a surprise. Before they got into town, Mayor 
 Powell, who had shot Capt. A. with a concealed pistol, rode past them. Mackenzie 
 chased and came up with him, on which Powell came close up and presented a 
 loaded pistol to his breast, which flashed in the pan. Mackenzie fired out missed 
 Powell, who escaped, and after concealing himself behind a log, reached Sir Francis 
 and awaked him from his sleep. Mackenzie re-captured Major McDonell and a 
 person whom the justices had sent to warn the government of iu danger, and return- 
 ed to Montgomery's, where he found Col. Moodie of the British army dying, nnd 
 Capt. Stewart oi the Navy, in custody ; they hod shot at our guards, but failed to 
 pass them. Other messengers whom we sent to town, were arrested. No 07iecavie 
 from tlunce. On Tuesday, at noon, we were on our march to the city, greatly in- 
 creased iu strength, when we met Dr. Rolph. our own executive, and the Hon. Ro- 
 bert Baldwin, with a tlag of truce from Sir Francis, asking what we wanted. Our 
 reply was— "A free Convent' "*. of the People." They returned, and Dr. R. adviaed 
 us to fallow him in half an hour, which we did in two divisions. When a mile from 
 town the same messengers returned and brought Sir F'a refusal, and then Dr. Rolph 
 privately advised tliat we should not enter uic city till dark, while he, meantime^ 
 would prepare the town folks. 
 
 " We marched for Toronto again, as soon as it was dark, about 750 men, for I stood 
 and counted tlicm in threes as they passed onwards. We had taken Capt. Duggau 
 and others of Sir F's ofiicers prisoners, and were about half a mile from the market 
 square, when a party of the royalists, headed by the sheriff, fired a random shot and 
 ran — there were about 15 of them. Col. Louiit and those of our riflemen in front, 
 fired back, and Mackenzie, who was between the enemy and our people, narrowly 
 escaped a shot from ourselves. He haste aed back and bade them stop firing, but a 
 panic had seized the rear, and in a short time nearly our whole force was on the re- 
 treat. Mackenzie, on this, handed me Ca;;.t. Duggan'a pistol, and ordered me to ride 
 back and tell the cowards there was nothing to be afraid of. I did so, but it was of 
 no use. At length he joined me. and we threatened to shoot at them if they did not 
 halt. When they came to a stand. Mackenzie told them that the steamers were sent 
 off for the orangemen of the other districts ; that if our people were in such terror, he 
 had no doubt the torics were more frightened still ; that what would be child's play 
 that night, might be impracticable on the morrow, and then asked them how they 
 could think of looking wife or sweetheart in the face, if, after all their pretended 
 bravery they acted the part of poltroons, and let slip the noblest opportunity of deliv- 
 ering Canacfa ever offered to man ? All he said was of no avail ; he then asked many 
 persons by name if tliey would go; and at length said — " Is there any twenty of you 
 that will accompany me into the city— join our friends there, who await us in hun- 
 dreds, and drive the tories before us or perish in the attempt?" I said I would, and 
 two or three others, after Mr. M. had touched their feelings, agreed to go ; but not 
 more. Next morning, although there were many, new faces, our 750 had dwindled 
 down to 300. Mackenzie called them together, apologized for his strong censures of 
 the previous nmht, reminded them that he had set tliem an example, which if they 
 had followed, Toronto might have been theirs ; told them that the enemy had been 
 reinforced, but that they would yet succeed if they had confidence in themselves.

 thirty or forty yards, by his superior knowledge of the country, and reacheil CoUnii-l 
 Lountand our friends on tntj retreat Just in tnne to nave his neck. Had Mackenzie 
 not been thwarted from lirst to last, we would have been iimtantly victorionsi at Toron- 
 to ; and his plan was to seize the steamers and ut once march into Fort Henrv on our 
 way to Montreal. • • ♦ (Signed,) WILLIAM AL'VES. 
 
 Colonel liouni ollen acknowledged, when in prison, that if Mackenzie had got his 
 way our aucuess wouM liave !: "en certain. 
 
 The reader will at onco pciccive that if Dr. Rolph, Dr. Morrison, ond oihprii, 
 I may not yet name, had joined its, they would have encouraged these timid far- 
 mers, who, when they saw l>r. R. apnuar as Sir Francis's emissary were much 
 discouraged, as wero many ail over the country. Or. Morrison was so full of 
 the matter sotno titne before fl!,'htiti^ began, that ho told all to tho$<c who had no 
 right to know, atid that was all Tie did. And Dr. Rolph has been applying 
 for and getting certificates t«) tha injury of Mackenzie, and asking persons to give 
 him their names o-.i a blank sheet of paper, to fill un as he may think fit, with a 
 similar object. Uidwell imitated Peter, and denied us altogether, and being an 
 American, was at onco admitted into all the courts of N. Y., while Mackenzie, 
 an European, went to a jail ! We concealed B'a name as long as it was neces- 
 sary. But if those leading men had displayed a proper share of spirit all might 
 havcgone right. 
 
 THURSDAY, 7th.— By nine, A. M., Sir Francis had given out -1000 stand of 
 arms; and Mackenzie attempted tu direct his attention from the patriot camp 
 by sendinea body of 60 to make a sham attack on the city on the East, and burn 
 the Don Bridge: even in this he was thwarted for two hours; it was also his 
 desire that the whole patriot force should form themselves into marching order, 
 and occupy a station nearer the city, whore they could sec all that the royalista 
 did, and regulate their movements accordinglv. Again he was thwarted by the 
 same gentleman, and valuable hours occupicu in i lie discussion until it was too 
 late. Had no orders been given for men to come from a distance until the patriots 
 were ready in the city, 100 men could have had Toronto, but the alarm once gi-

 DEC. 14.— 1837. BATTLE OF ST. EUSTACHE.43 This beautiful village 
 is 21 miles north of Montreal, on an arm of the OttJiwa. on the high banks of the river. 
 It was attacked by Sir Jolm Colbome this day . % mm, with 200 cavalry, a large 
 train of artillery, several regiments of European tsoldiers. and Canadian LoyalisU, 
 and a portable giUowa to hang the leaders wtio might betaken alive and in arms.— 
 Sir John's anny was 2,250 strong, and St. Euatache was singled out for vengeance, 
 because its people had protected from arrest some of the honest members uf Assern' 
 bly whom the government sought to destroy. The Canadians, as at St. Dennis, were 
 some 300 persons, badly armed, and so scarce of balls, that some of them fired off 
 marbles. They were manly, and took possession of several buildings for defence.— 
 Dr. Chenier and 60 more threw themselves into tlie church, a very massive building 
 in a commanding situation, and flanked by two lone stone houses. The enemy sur- 
 rounded the village and cut off all retreat. The clergyman's house was first burnt, 
 having been fired with Conareve rockets, and the people who retreated to the cellari 
 of the convent were either burnt or stifled to death — the soldiers next surrounded the 
 church, under cover of the smoke, and two officers of the royals set fire to it, leaving 
 the wounded to perish in the flames ; others leaped from the windows and were met 
 with vollies of nmsketry. Dr. Chenier and a few brave men jumped through a 
 window into the grave yard, where diey fought with all the desperation of a forlorn 
 hope. A ball soon brought their leader down, but he rallied his sinking strength, 
 rose and discharged his gun at the enemy — twice again he was brought to the ground, 
 and twice he rose to the attack. The fourth time he fell to kise a o more ! Che 
 Bier's fall was the signal for an indiscriminate slaughter ofthe remainder of his brave 
 band. '• NO QUARTER" was the cry, and with few exceptions, all were masea' 
 cred. Some few made for the ice, in the hope of gaining the opposite woods. Oni 
 by one they were picked off by the marksmen posted at certain distances, and th< 
 stragglers fell and perished midst the bleak wintry snows of Canada. 
 
 After four and a half hours' hghting, ^ir John obtained possession of the rillage- 
 many lay dead and wounded ; the stench from the burning bodies was very offensive 
 the village was given over to be pillaged, property was plundered, women violated, 
 aud seventy of the best houses in town and country burnt to the ground. The gallani 
 Dr. Chenier's mutilated body was exposed — his clothing stripped from his yet ware 
 limbs— the body was cut into four quarters, and his heart torn from his breast mi 
 exposed to the gaze of the barbarous soldiers. His property was destroyed ; eve 
 bis beautiful and accomplished wife had to fly for her life. Night closed upon En$ 
 land's sacking of St. Eustache, and the whole country round seemed one sheet 
 flan)e, in tlte midst of the horrors of Canadian winter. All powerful God, in diy owi 
 way sod time visit those cruel destroyers! C apt. Marry at, who aecompsDied Sit

 John Colborne, was at the battle. He says, tlie En^lii^h soldiers and their officers 
 were so exasperated against the Canadiims. that "it was a service of danger to at? 
 tempt to save the life of one of these poor creatures." About midnight he went to 
 see the church ; die floor had been bunit to cinders, and " between the sleepers were 
 scattered the remains of human beings, injured in various degrees; some with mere- 
 ly the clothes burnt off, leaving the naked body; while here and there the blackened 
 ribs were all that the fierce flames had spared. Not only inside of tlie church, but 
 without its walls, was the same revolting spectacle ; and farther of were bodies still 
 unscathed by fire, but frozen hard by the severity of the weather." 
 
 1837, THE U. C. CONVENTION, dated in September, was to have met, 
 had the people and their leaders possessed courage enough to free their country, 
 when no enemy from without opposed them. What rimit had they to convene? 
 The same- that the Barons had who obtained Magna Chartu— or th&Conven* 
 tions who recalled Charles 2nd, and crowned William 3d. The Convention did 
 meet on the HthofDecember, but it was on Navy Island, Canada, and the IT. S. 
 Govsrnment has bestowed 18 months' imprisonment on the chairman oftbtt 
 day, for daring so to assemble. 
 
 DEC. 13. 1837. Colborne's destroying arm^ enter St. Benoit. Encounter 
 no resistance. Three hundred farmers meet him with white handkerchiefs in 
 their hands as a token of peace.- Vast numbers arc arrested and sent off to 
 Montreal Jail ; hundreds take to the woods ; Colborne and suite remain all night 
 in the village, which they give up to plunder. 
 
 DEC. 16. 1837, Colborne and his army return from St. Benoit or Grand 
 Brule, having: first set it on fire and rifled it of every valuable they could carry 
 off. AMURY GIKOD, a native of Switzerland, one of the leaders, was stopt 
 on his way to the United States, through (ho ofl^ciousness of John Taylor, of 
 Long Point. When escape seemed inevitable he shot himself. His body was 
 brought to St. Benoit; beheaded; his head exposed on a pole; a stake driven 
 through his body, and the body buried at the cross of four roads as a mark of the 
 infamy attached to the Canadian cause. Even the London Times denounces 
 Colborne's " infernal acts" here, but England's Q,ueen approves. The Quebec 
 Cavaditn states that in one month to this date, 500 Canadian houses were burnt 
 down, and property destroyed to the value of upwards of one million of dollars. 
 
 DEC. 18. 1688, KING- J AMES having left London on the previous day, his 
 Bon-in-law enters it, and takes possession of the royal palace. 'I'he English law* 
 vers came to address him, headed by old Sergeant May nard, aged nearly ninety. 
 The Prince told him he had outlived all the lawyers of his time. Maynard re- 
 plied, that but for the arrival of his highness, he would have tiurvivcd the law it- 
 •elf. " He was an old roffue for all that," says Swift, and Mcintosh's Revolu- 
 tion adds, " that the destroyers of the law were the lawyers, its own offspring, 
 by their iniquitous judgments, corrupt pleadings, and sycophant petitions." The 
 like might be said of the U. C. lawyers, aa a whole ; tney were the most worth- 
 iest, rotten and venal tribe on the face of the earth, and the Judges were like un- 
 to them. 
 
 DEC. 19, 1838. Execution of Colonel MARTIN WOODRUFF at Kiugston. 
 He was a deputy sheriff, Salina, Onondaga Co. N. Y. His enthusiasm in favor of the 
 Canadians was boundless — he came to Navy Island, with aid to the Patriots — was 
 ready to serve at French Creek had there been a Commander, and exhibited great 
 coolness and courage at the Wind Mill. A few militia officers were collected, who 
 ordered him to execution. The Kingston Spectator, thus describes the scene of his 
 murder, of which Victoria and her bloody cabinet, heurtily approved. This gallant 
 soldier was, " about sunrise, brought from Fnrt Henry upon a rough carter's train 
 or sleigh, attended by two priests, escorted by a party of volunteer cavalry, to the 
 jail, and soon after to the door leading to the scaffold, when the Sheriff read Arthur's 
 warrant to execute him ; he was then placed on the platform, the cap pulled over bis 
 face, and the hangman placed the rope to a hook in tlie beam over head. The plat- 
 form fell and presented a revolting disgusting, and disgraceful scene. The knot in- 
 stead of drawing tight under his ear, was brought to tlie chin ; it did not slip but left 
 space enouch to put a hand within ; the chief weight of the body bearing upon tho 
 rope at the back of the neck. The body was in great agitation, and seemed to suffer 
 greatly. The spectators said it was shameful management, when two hangmen came 
 out, endeavored to strangle the sufferer and not having succeeded they returned 
 again tu their disgusting work. " The Port Ontario Aurora says : his neck was not 
 broken, till the hangman, on the cross-tree, had pulled him up by the collar and let 
 hus fall four times in succestioa. After tliis, the inhuman brute struck bis heeU seve-

 DEC. 22. 1-338, JOSEPH NARCISSE CARDINAL, member of the parliament 
 of Lower Canada, aged 30, (left a wife and 5 children) ; and JOSEPH DUQU- 
 ETTE, .student at law, aged 22, were this day hung at Montreal, for nobly at- 
 tempting to free their country from the English yoke. They were brought before a 
 dozen of hired assassins in red coats called a court martial, and ordered to the Eng 
 lish shambles forthwith. They were delivered up to their murderers by the Caugn- 
 nav.'aga Indians who petitioned for their life. Cardinal was hung twice, while Col- 
 borne and his brutal band sat at their windows enjoying the horrid scene ! ! Madame 
 Cardinal, in the last mondis of pregnancy, threw herself at the feet of Lady Col- 
 borne, supplicating her interference in behalf of her husband. — Lady C. offered the 
 broken hearted supplicant — five dollars! Cardinal and Duquette were in Jail, 
 Nov. 4th, Martial law was proclaimed on the 5th, and the ordinance constituting 
 Clitherow's Court Martial on the 8th, so that they were tried under a proclamation 
 issued after they were \n jail ! ! Delisle, the High Constable was one of the officers 
 at the execution and while Mr Duquette, was slowly walking towards the scaffold he 
 pulled suddenly the rope round his neck, precipitating him to the ground. Mr. Car- 
 dinal reprimanded him. — " It's good enough for a dog of a rebel," was the reply. 
 While the two sufferers stood upon the scaffold, they bade one another a parting 
 adieu for this world — the next moment the drop fell; Mr. D. fell longitudinally, break- 
 ing some of his teeth and cutting his face on the railing round the scaffold ; his suf- 
 ferings were excruciating; several times he begged, for God's sake, to have an end 
 put to his agony, by killing him. Twenty long minutes elapsed before another rope 
 could be prepared ! it was then passed around bis neck and tied to the fixture, the 
 first rope was then cut, and in a few moments after this second hanging, he was num- 
 bered with the dead. 
 
 Same day, at KINGSTON, the British monsters were employed in 8tran(^

 DEC. 25. 1776, GENERAL HUGH MERCER. This night, Wash- 
 ington crossed the Dataware at Trenton, surprised the Hessians, took 900 
 prisoners and 6 brass cannon, losing only 9 of his men. Throughout the 
 whole campaign GEN. MERCER is stated by all parties to have power, 
 fully aided Washington, and behaved with the utmost bravery and skill, 
 in this, the very darkest hour of American suffering and misfortune. On the 
 morning of the 3rd of Jan., 1777, Washington decided to attack Princetown, 
 and MERCER lod tiie VAN of the gallant band. In the evening Mercer 
 encountered three Euglish Regunents, and a deadly struggle ensued, in 
 which h«* fell, dangerously wounded, whiU rallying .e American militia.

 to establish a power which insults their countrymen as aliens and intruders 
 in this ; and when they claim its hospitality, pounces upon them as the 
 victims of its policy, and immures them in American Bastiles, for the 
 crime whicli constituted the glory of a better age.

 1837. INVASION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. BURNING 
 OF THE CAROLINE. — [Explanation of the Frontispiece.— 1 repre

 weltering in his blood. He was shot in the back of the head— 2 shows the 
 murderers in their boats returningto Chippewa, where the lights are seen at 3, 
 4 is a view of the ill-fated vessel passing onwards with fearful speed towards 
 the great falls, in a blaze of tiame, the elements of fire and water combining 
 in tiieir fury to send into eternity those who had hid themselves in the boat 
 from the dagger of the assassin. A faint view of 2 or 3 persons holding out 
 their hands in desperation may be seen near the bows of the boat. The En- 
 gli»h ofhcial account is that si,v were killed ; the Americans say eleven.] 
 
 Tlie Steamboat Caroline took out a license at Buffalo as a. ferry boat for 
 passengers — sailed to Tonavvanda — thence to Schlosser, and twice between 
 it and Navy Island — Schlosser contains an o];! store house and a small inn. 
 At 5 in the evening the Caroline was moored at the wharf — the tavern being 
 very full, a number of the gentlemen took beds in the boat — in all about 
 33 persons slept there. A watch was placed on deck at 8, the watchmen 
 unarmed — there was only one pocket pistol on board,and no powder ; at raid. 
 night, the Caroline was attacked by five boats full of armed men from the 
 Englisli army, at Chippewa, who killed [as themselves say] six ir.en, or as 
 the Amrrican account has it, eleven. A number were severely wounded, 
 as the people in theAmerican port,could make no resistance. To kill them was 
 therefore a wanton assassination. The cry of the assailants was " g — d d — n 
 them — no quarter — fire, fire !" Amos Durfee of Buffalo was found dead 
 upon the dock, a musket ball having passed through his head. The Caro- 
 line sailed under the American flag, which the assailants took to Toronto,- 
 and displayed at annual festivals, in honor of this outrage. She was set in 
 ablaze, cut adrift and sent over the falls of Niagara. We witnessed the 
 dreadful scene from Navy Island. The thrilling cry ran around that there 
 were living souls on board ; and as the vessel, wrapt in vivid flame, which 
 disclosed her doom as it shone brightly on the water, was hurrying down the 
 resistless rapids to the tremendous Cataract, the thunder of which, morn 
 awfully distinct in the midnight stillness, horrified every mind with the pre. 
 scnce of their inevitable fate ; numbers caught, in fancy, the wails of dying 
 wretcbe*, hopelessly perishing by the doable horrors of a fate which nothing

 n the Caroline that evening, to return next day, have not since btcn heard 
 of, and doubtless were among tliu inurclercd, or i.id on board and pcrislicd with 
 the ill-fated vessel. Wny did the English pass Nanr Island, in Canada, 
 where the patriots had hoisted their flag, and waited for them, and attack an 
 unarmed boat in N. Y. State, and in the dead of night, butcher thoin in cold 
 blood '. Sir Francis Head planned; ordered, and sanctioned the whole massi. 
 ore, the Queen of England and her government approved of it, and reward, 
 ed the villains. Drew is raised to the rank of Captain of the Royal Navy, 
 and commands on Lake Eiie, and McNab is knighted, and received the 
 Royal thanks. fl^Sir John Colhorne is also created Lord Scaton!/3l 
 
 McNab in his ('esnatches says—" I was informed by eittzeva from Buffalo that 
 theCaruKno would be down that night." The editor of the Star stated that hi 
 understood thot Dr. Thomas M. Koote, of the Commercial, and John McLoan,

 tended the anniversary dinner there, in honor of the heroes who defeated the 
 Yankees. He said— "After a desperate engagement of some minutep, she wai

 abyss beneath— (loud cheers.) Gentlemen, / glory in hiaring been one of tlwie

 Herald, " Cul. Holmes and the officers of his brigade, held their first regiments 
 mess dinner at Orr's Hotel. The room was decoratea with transparencies of hci 
 Majesty, the Duke of Wellington, Britannia, the steamer Caroline in flames de 
 acending the Fulls of Niagara, and a globe with the motto, "The British empire, 
 on which the sun never sets." Sir Allan N. McNab was toasted, and manj 
 jokes cracked at the expense of the unfortunate Americans in the Caroline.

 DEC. 30. 1938, ANTHONY O. W. G. VAN EGMOND, a native of Holland, 
 and formerly Colonel in the army of Napoleon, settled many years in the Huron 
 Tract, Upper Canada, where he owned about 15,000 acres. As he happened n 
 be near Toronto when the difficulties took place there, ho was arrested on 
 Thursday the 7lh of December, immediately after the battle, and lodged in To- 
 ronto jail. He had committed no act of violence agamst the government, anil 
 there was no pretext for detaining him, but he was a danceroiis man on aecouni 
 of his military talent, which waa of the first order, and his known republican 
 principles. Accordingly, the Governor, Council and Hagerman, held a consulta- 
 tion, the result of which was that Colonel Van Egmond, in his67th year, wai 
 ordered down to one of the coldest of the cells underground. The water had ru< 
 into the cell, upon the clothes under which he lay, and they were found now 
 morning frozen to the ground, and the old Colonel all but perished.— The 
 
 Ehysicians were sent for, to keep up appearances, and they at once saw thai 
 e was done far. He was ordered to be sent to the hospital, and this day h( 
 breathed his last. This is English GK)vernment in Canada. May God in his io 
 vng kindness to the sons of men deliver the earth from such a dreadful curse.- 
 Russian despotism is paternal affection when compared to the brutal sway o 
 England.

 iDrTO THE l*ISOPL.E OV UPPER CANADA I JfJ 
 
 Since crossing the Niagara in January, 1B3R, 1 have ascertained — that the re> 
 puhlicanformsof the Eovernmenls of those United Stales serve as a ncantle tocon- 
 ccal from the people tVie aristocratic machinery which, as in England more open* 
 ly, moves the vpobcI of the state. In this great country of New York, the law- 
 yers protect their monopoly by seven years opprenticesnips, and at least as many 
 varieties of rules ot life, taken from England, tier colonics, state legislation, con- 
 gress atatutes, foreign treatifs, and British common laW, as are in use among 
 yourselves. The administration of justice is exclusively in the hands of those 
 monopolists, the judges being often selected by the Banking influence, from 
 among the most intolerant and exclusive ofthe members of the bar. Equal rights 
 ind the truths of the Declaration of Independenccare not andcannotbe enjoyed 
 in the midst of a thousand city, village, clerical, manufacturing, railroad, canal, 
 and, worst of all, banking corporations, every one of them more exclusive than 
 another. They are the props of the British monarchy beyond the sea ; they are 
 England s fortresses on the continent of America. The influence of the press up- 
 on the people here is very great ; and the tongues of the lawyers and the pens of the 
 editors move in implicit obedience to the same monicd power which has prostrated 
 the last remains of freedom in Britain. Even the President of the republic has 
 come forward and ocknowlcdged, that os the United States is 200 millions of 
 dollars in debt to ihu English capitalists, and paying them over ten millions of 
 apecio in tribute annually, and as America clings to an anti-republican, fluctuating 
 paper currency, issued by her enemies, in pre^>renco to a gold and silver one of 
 her own, the monoy power of England controls this nation, ctuscs her banks to 
 atop payment, deranges her finances at will, and might even embarrass her go- 
 vernment in the hour of its utmost need. England hns a .itnnding army, and 
 iho government hei'e is quietly increasing the cfSciency of a like prop of monar- 
 chy. The Church of England, in England, is richly endowed. In this State 
 alone its priests own sixty millions value of estate. So we have an established 
 church in right earnest, aye, and jnorelhan one. The State Legislature, whe- 
 ther whig or democrat, meets but to increase the burthens of the people, lich 
 capitalists pass laws for poor laborers, but as to republican legislation, where is 
 it to be found? In the Congrosii, n majority of prerega..ve made lawyers shew 
 far more respect for English Parliamentary customs than American Institutions; 
 and; as far as I can judge, the two great parties of ins and outs, whose leaders 
 move the people as if they were two contendimr armies, are the very counter- 
 parts of the British Whigs ai>d Tories, and equally honetl and disinteretlid in 
 all they say and do ! The ballot, of which I was much in favor when with you, 
 would be no adequate protection to the poor voter in the present state of society 
 in England, neither does it protect the people here. Corruption is powerful in 
 England and with you, but beyond its influence here I should think that notfaiog 
 could go. 
 
 The machinery of the state and general governments is becoming daily more 
 complicated and difficult to be understood. The people are in the main true to 
 the faith of their fathers, and desirous to walk in the good old paths, but party 
 legislation, party orators, party presses, and party organization neutralize even 
 universal suffrage, and impel them to lake sides in a contest whore their inter- 
 ests are but little cared for, just as their brethren in Ei.giand follow, one iialf 
 Poel and Wellington, and t'other half Russell and Melbourne. 
 
 So long as our friendc iii the United States choose to submit to such a system 
 we have no right to interfere with them ; we should keep our attention flrmly 
 directed to one point, and that is political INDEPENDENCE both of England 
 and this Union. Where they have improved on their European models let us 
 
 ?rofit by the example, and where they nave failed let us take a timely warning. 
 'he proper formal notion of government is the annexation of pleasure to soma 
 actions and pain and privation to others, in our power to do or forbear, and of 
 which we hove notice before hand by means of well known fixed laws. Thus 
 it is that Gud govrrns the world, and the nearer we approach to the Inw of na- 
 ture, the happier wo will be. But in these United Stales, the Inws are so numc- 
 foils and inconsistent with cncii other and with reason, that they are often little 
 knpwn or notoriously disobeyed. Such also is the English system, and it 
 briiu;s its punishmetu with it. 
 
 Iwjr darling wish for twenty years was to see one great federal union of th# 
 nations of North America, by which means I expected a perpetual ueace to be 
 maintained. But the time is not yet come. The sooner w«ge. ria of Kng^isu

 power, the natureof which this Almanack faithfuMy describes, thcbettnr, While 
 England keeps five milliona of her home subjects in poor-house bastiles or for 
 factory j work, we can have nothing to hope from her smse of justice; audit 
 would be no enviable condition to become the miserable dependants of the slave 
 owners of the south and the usurers of the north, by exchanging the yoke of 
 Victoria for that of Conaress. 
 
 Tho timo of your finalemancipation is perhaps nearer than vou imagine. Even 
 here, shut up from society, withm the gloomy wallsof arepuoiicanpiinitentiary, 
 by an American President, at the call of an Entrlish minister, for the love I bear 
 to Canadian Liberty, I rejoice in the anticipation of that blessed day, whea the 
 Bun shall cease to shine on a British slave from one end nf Canada to the other. 
 I write at this time to bid you prepare for that happy period, and would earnestly 
 request you to consider some suggestions concerninga government, consiituiioii 
 and code of laws which are printed herewith. The views they convey may be 
 innperfect, but my object is to lead you to reason and reflect, keeping always in 
 mind that if you aspire to that great good of leaving to your cf ilriren republican 
 institutions, elective throughout, you must avoid the grand error of the legisla- 
 tors of these states, who yielding to the ambition, covetou&ncss and avarice of a 
 few, have covered the face of their country with gainful monopolies the grave of 
 democracy. 
 
 The sufferings of the reformers among you, by impiisonment, torture, starva- 
 tion, and noon day robbery, have been very great, but it is probable that they 
 were essential to laying broad and deep the foundations of rational freedom in 
 your land. Had you embraced the opportunity offered you in December, 1837, 
 and achieved your liberty, I fear it would have bren too lightly valued. Your 
 European oppressors show very little statesmanship in their aitempts to unite for 
 internal legislation a counti^ I'SOO mileu long, and filled with people of different 
 customs and languages. They desire to saddle Lower Canada with four mil- 
 lions of debt, of which it never borrowed or received one dollar ! But all their 
 schemes have failed and will fail; and by means of internal disturbances in 
 the United Kingdom, or a short crop, or other causes of financial derangement!) 
 there, or thro' a quarrel with Russia, France, or Ireland, or trouble at Constan- 
 tinople, you may be speedly relieved from their military power and left to govern 
 yourselves. 
 
 As to the chances of a rupture between England and these States, it is diiiicult 
 to reason upon them. The Melbourne ministry may pive way to Peel and the 
 Tories, but what their policy would bo perhaps even themselves could not now 
 clearly foresee. It ts probable it would be more warlike than that of Lord Pal- 
 meraton. It could not be more peaceful (seemingly) than that of Mr. Van Buren. 
 
 But appearances here may be deceptive. Out of ttie North East Boundary 
 difficulties war may come and that speedily, and thus rid us of the English yoke. 
 
 If the best of ihe Irish, English and Scottish Soldiers, now in Canada, could 
 he made acquainted with the true character of the Government they serve, as 
 exhibited in the Caroline Almanack, I think they would at once decide to fight no 
 longer under the bloody cross ^f St. George against their own own flesh and 
 blood. There are a thousand ways in which the more patriotic of your citizens 
 might thwart their invaders and make them uncomfortable; and I declare toyo". 
 that so long as one English bayonet stands unsheathed for your coercion, I think 
 it your duty io use everv exertion to oblige the tyrants who sustain it to retroce 
 their steps. Take no tnought for me. If you have read Mr. Van Buren's letter 
 to Lord Durham, as published in the London Times, you can readily conceive 
 that if Governor Thomson has sent his compliments to Washington, with a re-> 
 quest that I may be detained other twelve months in this peniteiiiiary, no efforts 
 of the generous people of America will be at all ayrilable foi my release, unless 
 the commencement of hostilities change the American policy. 
 
 In June or July next I intend to publish 10,000 copies of an Almanack for 1841, 
 Bomewhat larger than this, which' will contain a code of laws suitable for Upper 
 Canada, according to my views, with this advantage over the present systenv, 
 that every body will be able to understand them. Someof ycu might aid me in 
 this publication by donations or orders with money in advance, and others by 
 paying the sums due me so far as it may be convenient. My books of accourtt, 
 
 Totes of hand, and records, were burnt by those to whom I en'ruat'jd theilf in 
 837.

 of a frontier prison I have learnt many useful lessons, especially as to prison dis* 
 cipline and the necessity of being ju.t and equitable in the infliction of punish- 
 ments. 
 
 Perhaps liOt less than 20,000 heads of families have removed from Canada since 
 Sept. 1837,and so far as I have ascertained the minds of many of them, they are for 
 independence the moment it can be attained. To their kindness, my family, in a 
 strange land, and without the means of support, owe much. But for their timely 
 aid the persecution of the American authorities would have been as unbearable as 
 it was severe, wanton and unprovoked. 
 
 Yet it would be wrong to blame the American People because they did not aid 
 you as France aided their fathers. Hod they been polled, I am satisfied they 
 would have willingly consented to cross the St. Lawrence en masse to secura 
 your deliverance from the English yoke, but the leaders of parties had more inter- 
 ested views, and they prevailed. 
 
 I have been in no way connected with the military movements on your frontier 
 since the winter of 1837-8, neither am I in the least discouraged by them. Prepare 
 yourselves for a change ; use all the means in your power to hasten it, and soma 
 of the oldest of you will live to see the last British red soldier leave the banks 
 and shores of the St. Lawrence, I trust, forever.

 SOME FEATURES OF A CONSTITUTION SUPPOSED TO BE 
 SUITABLE FOR UPPER CANADA. AS A FREE AND INDE- 
 PENDENT REPUBLIC,^ JTA PURE DEMOCRACY.XD 
 
 1. The govornmont to consist ofthree distinct departments, the Lcgisla- 
 tire, Judicia and Executive, the members whereof shall be directly elected 
 by the People. 
 
 2. Universal sufTragc— that is, all elections to be by male citizens of 21 
 years and upwards, unstained by crime. 
 
 3 The Legislature shall consist of a single chamber, a General Assem- 
 bly of one hundred members to bo annually elected. Tho people will be a 
 safer check on hasty or selfish Legislation than a senate made independent 
 of them for 4 or 6 years. 
 
 4. In choosing the legislature, population shall be the basis of representa. 
 tion, but no one county shall contain less than 400 square miles. 
 
 5. All resolutions, laws c statutes, intended to bind the people shall be 
 printed afler they have passr. i ihe legislrturc.and been formally submitted to 
 tht iitizensin their several townships, foi (.heir judgment thereon; andnoreso- 
 lutioii, '-iw or statute shall have any force until a majority of the citizens 
 are satisfied with and approve of it. 
 
 It is time that a republivian form of government with monarchical insti- 
 tutions were dispensed with on this continent,and is hoped that UpperCanada 
 mav be among the first states to sot the example. 
 
 The principle of instructing representatives may be necessaf^ whore the 
 law is passed without consulting ttiose whose business is to obey it ; but 
 where the people keep the check in their own hands it is improper. To send 
 a representative to hear and argue and reason and then make up his mind, 
 and while doing this to instruct him to vote and argue in this way, or that ; 
 to oblige him to rei son and vote, it may be against the dictates of his judg- 
 ment and coiiscienie ; to p'ace tho determination ahead of the diucussion; 
 to have one set of nen who do not hear the argiimcnls, decide, tlio' hundreds 
 of miles distant, kliat which another set ofir.cn have been specia ly appoint- 
 edlto enquire into and conclude upon, afler full investigation, is perhaps not 
 the best way to arrive at the truth. 
 
 6. Ministers of the Gospel of all denominations to be eligible to the Icgisla- 
 ture or to any oilice in the slate. 
 
 We do not desire to see secular offices filled with the clergy, and if the 
 people think as we do they will not elect them, but their exclusion from th» 
 rights of citizens cannot bp defrndrd on mornJ prinriplcs.

 dependence on their incomes may impair their fitn-^ss to act inde]>ende.itly 
 in the legislature, arc to be ineligible to seats therein while acting in an ex. 
 ecutive capacity. 
 
 8. A jury system would be required that would secure in all cases, by a 
 fair choice, the services ofthe most intelligent citizens as jurors. 
 
 9. A more humane, healthy and gentle system of punisliments and prison 
 discipliue would be required. A change in this respect is inaisp. -:!8able. 
 
 10. When a jury shall agree on a verdict against any party tried in a crim. 
 inal case, the judge shall specify the measure of punishment, but if two. 
 thirds of the jurors dissent in opiuion from him, ho is to modify the sentence 
 so as to obtaiu their concurrence. 
 
 11. In England and the United States the public prosecutors appear to 
 have the power, either before or aflcr indictment to bring to trial or 
 pardon whom they please, without any rule, system or responsibility other 
 than their mere pleasure or private interest, of which instructive proofs have 
 been given since the frontier disturbances began. It is expedient that this 
 power be modified so as to prevent these persons from making political capi. 
 tal for their patrons at the expense of an impartial administration of justice. 
 
 12. Insteadof summoning a convention, adopting a few general rules, 
 and leaving to a knot of interested lawyers to twist them into any form they 
 
 f (lease, under the name of statutes, in future years, it is proposed that tiic 
 awsof Upper Canada shall consist of a written aad well arranged code of 
 rules to be agreed upon at a general con vention*of the people; and that this 
 code shall, before it takes effect, be submitted to the citizens in their 
 primary assemblies to vote upon, chapter by chapter. 
 
 13 Under such a system, one man of plain understanding would imder- 
 stand plain rules as well as another, hence the occasion for an organised 
 monopoly of privileged barri&ters and attornies, to expound the present he. 
 terogeneous mass of what is now called law, and to dispense it, would be at 
 an end, and therefore the trade and calling of a lawyer, like than of an edi. 
 tor, printer, legislator, watchmaker, or merchant, would be thrown open 
 to the whole people. 
 
 14. No candidate for office, or witness in a court of justice to be ques- 
 tioned as to his religious belief— and all swearing of oaths to be done away 
 with. Witnesses in courts could be required solemnly to affirm, and per. 
 sons appointed to offices, solemnly to pledge themselves to a faith/ ul per. 
 formance of their duties. (See Matthew V and James V.) 
 
 15. In any treaty made by the government with a foreign powcrf it 
 would be required that ths whole particulars should be laid before the legis. 
 lature i and if it approve ofthe conditions, as also the people in their town, 
 ships, such Ireaty is then to form part of the supreme law. 
 
 16. Chei^> and portable editions of the laws to be provided, so that all 
 persons may have copies for reference. 
 
 17. The duties of the executive department to be exorcised by a Govern, 
 or, who shall hold his office for two years. 
 
 18. Provision to be made for the election of •• Treasurer, Secretary of 
 State, Superintendent oi^ Education, &c.; and for a successor to the gov. 
 •mor in case he died, resigned or was removed. 
 
 19. County Officers to be chosen by the people at proper intervals ; also 
 township officers. 
 
 Our views in detail on these subjects will be seen in the next almanack, 
 or the companion thereto, next June, ^., j<'hich the attempt at codification 
 will bo made. If imperfect, let the nCr-^p: be reasoned. 
 
 20. The post office department is to consist of such post offices on liuch 
 post roads as the law may direct. The rates of postage, on letters, news, 
 papers, magazines and pamphlets, and of remuneration to officers, toJMKre-

 othtr name whatever, whether hy the British or Colonial Authorities or : 
 those under them, or any public authority wliatevcr, are to betaken to be *

 Q'2. It is believed that the fair sale by auction, in the way that the lairs 
 would direct, of a portion of the public domain from timo to time, would 
 furnish the means for maintaining the government and its officers, without 
 any inland or other tax. It is therefore proposed that trade and commerce 
 with all other countries be free and unshackled. If it is deemed advisable 
 lo forbid any foreign luxuries they may be prohibited. 
 
 23. The townships and counties to hav& leave, under proper regulations 
 to assess themselves for educational and other purposes, appoint their offi. 
 ccrs, and have their ac luntsduly audited and checked. '! 
 
 24. Although borrowing money is one of tho last things a free people 
 iliould attempt, it may sometimes be necessary to do so. The legislature 
 may pass laws authorizing, in detail, the borrowing of money on the credit 
 of the State, or on certain lands or income — each law to state the precise 
 eiim to be borrowed, to limit the terms of tho loar and to agree to the 
 times of repayment. If a majority of the people in their townships, at two 
 successive stated meetings, vote in approbation of such a measure, it shall 
 have force, but not otherwise. 
 
 25. The stato sliall neither lend its credit to any individual nor to asso. 
 ciations, professing to carry on internal improvements, nor shall it become 
 the partner of any private company or creatj any corporation of an exclusive 
 cliaracter. [When the state lends its ere .tit and the experiment succeeds, 
 the rich stockholders reap all t)ie profit. When it fails, as is the case 19 
 times out oi 20, the poor farmers sufTe. the loss.] 
 
 26. In thu collection and keepirg of educational and other funds care 
 must be taken not to allow large jalanccs to accumulate in the hands of 
 individuals. 
 
 22. In all laws made and to be made every person shall be bound alike— 
 neither shall any tenure, estat^;, charter, statute, degree, birth or place, con.

 CaroitM Ahnanae, and 
 
 33. The growth of large cities being unfavorable to liberty; aud their 
 iplendid governnionti of inavorii,aldermoii and corporation! with many pow. 
 era and privileges withheld Irom thu community, unauitable to a country 
 where honest induHtry is conuidcred msti's only sure dependence for the 
 enjoyment of contentment and peace, the charters of all such are to be 
 abolished, and frugal, plain governments erected in their stead, under a gen. 
 eral law to apply to all places where there is a crowded population. 
 
 34. Debts hcreteforo lawfully coutraclcd may be collected by due courte 
 ©flaw— but , ,'f 
 
 35. No law shall ever bo passed or court established for the collection of 
 debts hercaAertobe nontrao'ed between man and man, or arising from vol. 
 untary agreement bctvr ..tics whereby the one relinquivhcs a right to 
 •ome property for the a or expectation of an equivalent hereafter. 
 
 [This law would plu oank.aot<jK, shares of stock, mortgageB,bonds, pro. 
 missory notes, payable with or without interest, conditional pledges of 
 estate, and all paper securities whatever in the situation of debts of honor 
 not to be recovered by law. The most usurious bargain might bo made, 
 but it would bo optional with the party promising, to pay or evade the claim. 
 No man could be compelled to part with his property, but if he did so with- 
 out value he must trust to the integrity of his debtor. U. Canada is cursed 
 with about 500 courts, for the re-:ovcry of debt, with hosts of judges, com'rs, 
 lawyers, constables, clerks, and other officers, armed with processes, war. 
 rants, usages, cognovits, judgments, bills of costs, &,c., sufficient to keep the 
 entire population in endless misery.] 
 
 36. As the alteration contemplated in the last and other clauses, would 
 lessen the volume of the currency, the convention on investigation ought to 
 examine and establish a tariff between debts contracted • in depreciated pa. 
 per and the gold and silver they are here required to be paid in, of $60, $70, 
 $80 or $90 as the equivalent of $100 heretofore borrowed. This not to 
 apply to the banks in so far as they would have to take their own paper at 
 par in payment from their debtors. 
 
 37. Landlords may own a thousand houses or farms, and make such 
 agreements with the tenants they admit on their premises as they think lit, 
 ■oregulating the covenants as to assure themselves prompt payment, and 
 on a default may promptly eject the tenant, but are to have no power to 
 mU or seize his furniture or property for rent or arrears of rent. 
 
 38. All the power now enjoyed by the rich of intimidating the poor, being 
 taken away, voting by ballot is abulished, and oviry man sTiall give his sui. 
 frage openly, as a man, viva voce. 
 
 39. The laws of primogeniture, half blood and entail arc to be annulled, 
 and the sons and daughters of parents who may die intestate shall inherit 
 equally the family patrimony. 
 
 40. A Aer marriage the real estate possessed by a man and his wife shall 
 be held to belong to them jointly, insomuch that no sale or lease made by the 
 one without the consent of the other, shall be valid. And in the making of 
 wills varying the ordinary course of descent of property, no such will or tee. 
 taroent shall be lawful unless agreed on, signed and acknowledged by hus. 
 band and wife, her part and portion being, on every principle of rational jus. 
 tiee, the same as his. In case the woman survive her husband and there be 
 no children or lawful will she shall be entitled to half the property real and 
 persenal/ If there be children she shall have one third. 
 
 41. Equal freedom shall be extended to all in the enjoyment of religious 
 profesaion and worship. 
 
 43. The present spiritual and temporal aupremacy of the church of Eng. 
 land in U. uanada, and all attempts at obtaining supremacy over the others - " 
 by any religious denomination, to be declared unlawful. •'' 
 
 43. The whole people to be organized and armed as a national guard, 
 »im1 the youth to have arms suited to their age and be taught the use of 
 
freemarCa Chronicle.

 but no Btandin;r orniy upon tho Ei(ro|)oau plan. 
 
 44. On the question, wht'thcr verdicts for libel subjecting citizens to 
 criminal punisiimuiit an; or aro nut unjust in principle, I wuuld gladly re. 
 ccivo information previous to next June. My friend Solomon Souihwick, 
 after 40 years of editorial cxpurioncc, declared them unjust. Ilia proper 
 that every person may freely speak, write and publish his suntiinunts, being 
 respoiiHible for the abuse of liiat right. How is the responsibility to be en. 
 forced 7 
 
 45. Tho establishment of largo cotton, silk, woollen, or other factories 
 where thousands of the youth ot both sc.xcs could be seduced from the homes 
 of their parents by the hope ofgain, and immured many hours a day should 
 bo discouraged as fur as precujit and limiting the hours of working can 
 do so. They are unhealthy aixl immoral, f^cvcr did boy or girl look hand. 
 somer than in the home niadu stuffd ,spun, wove, and dyed on the fdrni and 
 in the house of their pan-nts. 
 
 40. In such a republican state of society, poorlaxvs wiltacarccly be found 
 necessary, except perhaps an institution for mildly treating those who have 
 lost their reason, and another for instructing the deaf and dumb, and tho 
 blind. 
 
 47. Lotteries arc anti-republican (see page 36,) and to be prohibited ; and 
 all gambling to be discouraged, especially thro^ prc^.t>tH to youth in com- 
 mon school books. 
 
 4S. No man, wlielher white or black, citizen or stranger, should be hdd 
 in personal bondage as the slave of anotiier. Slavery is a violation of tho 
 niorid law, and its existence in America deeply to be rcjreted. But altho* 
 it were at an end iu tho southi ru states, the whites and blacks would not 
 amalgamate ; the coloured population would not bo received into society on 
 an equality with tho whites. 'I'he remedy is to give to the coloured pco|>le the 
 
 country west of the , in full sfjvori-ignty forever, solely to their 
 
 use, Ko that they may enjoy Huch political institutions and live under such 
 laws as they think doi^irabio, instead of being deceived by a mockery of po. 
 litical equality in Upper Canada. 
 
 49. Instcid of enabling lawyers to embarrass rultora, perplex juries and 
 pervert jusiice for hire and gain, by what is crmcd judicial legislation, 
 through which the precedents, usages, decisions, laws and law authorities 
 of other nations arc often admitted as a rule of action, the following cardi. 
 nal principles of rational justice are to bo forever taken and pleaded as the 
 supreme law, an unerring guide, a statutory regulation never to be forgot, 
 ten, viz : — " All things whatever ye would that men should do to you, do 
 ye even so to them."— M .ttliew 7 &. 12: and, *' Thou shall love thy neigh- 
 bour as thyself." — James 2 & 8. Tiiis is Hio precept of the law of nature. 
 
 50. The setting apart otic.seventh of our lime, so as to make Sunday a 
 day of rest from labour — and the precepts, not to covet that which is ano- 
 ther's, to do no murder, neither to rob nor steal, to honor our parents, and 
 not to bear false witness against our neighbour, should be embodied in the 
 republican code ; and wliile strength or courage, cleanliness and temperance 
 aro pointed out as moral virtues, tho offunccs of drunkeniiojs, cowardice , 
 tilthineas, ignorance, idleness and sloth should be suitably denounced.

 THE CAROLINE ALMANAC— COMPANION TO DITTO- 
 MACKENZIE'S GAZETTE— HIS IMPRISONMENT- 
 RATES or POSTAGE.— We liave laboured hard to complete this 
 little work, i ich will be found useful for reference, being supplied 
 with a copic ' lex. The price, a dollar and a half per dozen, 
 twelve dollars and a half per hundred, eighteen dollars per groce, or 
 at the same rate for any other quantity, would not pay expences, but 
 there have been sotne donations. The Almanac contains nearly three 
 sheets, and is a periodical — part of the Companion to it is in type 
 and will appear, if possible, next June. The Almanac for 1841, we 
 hope to have ready for delivery by September. MACKENZIE'S 
 GAZETTE is ptibiished weekly, at Rochester, N. Y., at $2 a year 
 when sent by mail, and contains much that will be interesting to the 
 lovers of democracy and friends of Canadian Independence. No one 
 can read the Oazeite and Almanac without seeing that they are pre- 
 paring men' linds for a change in Canada. 
 
 Mr. Mackeuzie lifts been seven months in close confinement, and 
 other eleven montiisof the bars and bolts are assigned to him, if his 
 constitution should enable him to survive so long. His imurison- 
 ment 3 unjust, for he never ojQTended against the laws, and it he had 
 it is cruel thus vindictively to single out a stranger advanced in years 
 on a charge of asking aid for the oppressed in Canada, from a city 
 which had invited him from Toronto for that purpose. The sentence 
 of Judges Thompson and Conklin resembles the ha^sh punishments 
 of a Jeffries and a Norbury, yet they are sustained tnus far by Mr. 
 Van Buren, and no member of Congress has raised his voice in favor 
 of the oppressed ixile. Mr. Mackenzie is without means, with a 
 large family dependent on him, in a foreign country, and so closely 
 imprisoned in the receptacle for felons and prostitutes at Rochester, 
 as to be denied the range of the jail inside, and never allowed to go 
 outside, not even into the yard for air and exercise. For half of the 
 past seven months he has been very unwell, but the representations 
 of physicians, as well as his own, were insufficient to procure him re- 
 lief from Ml. Forsyth, and he is satisfied that the representationsof G^ar'
