 REPORT, &e 
 
 -Jit /y£ Association, whose proceedings are the suhjec^ 
 6f the folh-uoing REPORT^ grew out of the peculiar cir~ 
 cumstances of Upper Canada y when war was declared 
 by the United States of America cgainst the United King^ 
 dam and its Dependencies, 
 
 Utterly unprepared for war^ the militia of the Pro* 
 vince was suddenly called to the frontier to oppose iiroam 
 si on. 'T^ It had neither arms nor cloathing, 
 
 7he first attention of their gallant leader, after arm* 
 ingthem at the ex pence of the enemy ^ which had invaded 
 our shores y was to provide cloathing suitable to th$ seve* 
 rily of the then approaching season. 
 
 From some causes not explained, the actual relief wav 
 .so long delayed, that individual sympathy was excited, 
 and the inhabitants of York, by a private subscription, 
 cided by the personal labcur of the young Ladies of th* 
 pl::ce, afforded a supply of the first necescity, in flannel 
 ■shirts t to (he companies doing duty on the lines, between 
 Niagara and Fort Erie. 
 
 It was soon discovered, that great distress must, una- 
 vcidahly, in many cases, result to families, deprived 
 ^f their sole support, the labour of fathers, husbands, 
 ions, and brothers, employed in arms, 
 '«-■•.

 Jts object was r.o so^.n'-r known in London, than a sub.

 Highness the Duke cf Kent, who ^as pleased to preside 
 f>t the meeting held at the city of London Tavern, and 
 filled with that mumficer.ce, which ever distinguiih-es a 
 ciiy whose merchants are princes. 
 
 The sister colony of Nova Scotia, excited by the Bat-. 
 
 bcrcus corflagration of the nwn of Newark, and the de. 
 
 vas'.ation on that frontier, contributed largely, by a Le. 
 
 gishitive act, to the relief of that portio't of the Province,

 jL he committee of Directors of the Loyal and Pa- 
 trioti: society of Upper Canada, appointed to prepare 
 for publication, conformable to the original resolution, 
 an annual account of the proceedings of the society re- 
 port : — That immediately after the first meeting, cir- 
 cular letters vi ere addressed to the Directors and prin- 
 cipal inhabitants in the several districts, inviting ihem 
 to form Boards for receipt and manai^cment of sub- 
 scriptions within their districts. 
 
 That a subscription was solicited and made, at 
 York, by the Militia of that garrison, of ouc day's pay 
 muster, towards the uses of the Society, which was 
 an->unced as an example to the militia receiving pay 
 throughout the province. 
 
 That representatiunsof th? objects of the Society 
 wpre made to leading characters in the Lower Pro- 
 vince, -and to the Lieutenant Gnernor in England. . 
 
 That the District Boards in the Eastern, MidUnd, 
 and Western districts, have mnf?e jcoort ot their pro- 
 gress in raiding subscipticns, which from their mo, 
 dicity, have been left at th.ir particular disposal, since 
 foreign "ciibscripticns have so amply furnished means 
 to accompljjh the general objccf^^ for which or.e third 
 of the district funds were to huve teen appropriated.

 Scn^c districts have not fc.md it convenient to ,:o. 
 ticc the invitation. 
 
 On the r-.h.r h.r.?, our brethren in Lower Canncfn. 
 lave xv.th a .nutnliccnce propor.ioned to their large 
 tncars, exceeded the most sanguine hope. 
 
 T he city of Montreal, s.tbscribed the s.m of three 
 thousand one hundred and. hirry pounds seven shil. 
 ]ing.iandmne.pence. which was immediately placed 
 ^. .merest, a.d the city of ^-bec raised two distinct 
 inrd t eone/r67, 3s 5^ ^subscriptions with inter- 
 est (I al.fax Currency,) applicable exclusively, .nd 
 '!' ;'^;^ *^^^^'^"" /:^"'7 lor, (Hx. Cy.) cf which 
 t.;ofmhsor/:,.47 8s.d with interest, were appro, 
 rnated to the uses of this Society. 
 
 /^s the prospect of enlarged means opened to the 
 rrardcf Directors, it extei; led the first limits of its 
 Iccfactions. in the f„|l assurance, that such liberality 
 vcuid bLst meet the views of the subscribers. 
 
 ^ Thur^, so soon as our sister Province afforded its aid, 
 f K- tm-.ds cf tl.e sotiety were moderately applied to 
 xvf.eve the widows and orphans of soldier, cf the Pro- 
 VinciaJ ccrps, and to cn.ble them to return to their 
 
 ixmts. 
 
 The Diiecfion has deemed it part of its duty also 
 to anli.i,>atc the legal aids voted by the Legislature in ■ 
 «race wlere <,ffi:iul d.lays, or other circumstances 
 appeared to \i to jcCjuiicr proaipt relief. 
 
 fn 
 
In particular cases of cllstress, occisioned by the in. 
 yasion of the cnimy. thtiy have aho aafonlea relief, - 
 not precise!), authorized by the first general resclii. 
 tions, but covered by a subsecincnt mscjin ' of the 
 subscribers. 
 
 They could not yet attempt to compensate losses 
 beyond the mere means of subsistence: ; and to furnish 
 that, the Directors have not in all cases waited for 
 application. 
 
 When representation was made of various dis- 
 tress on the Niagara frontier, and on the lins of marc'i 
 ot General Wilkinson's army, sums of money wer- 
 entrusted to persons of confidence, to relieve in their 
 discretion.-The Reverend Mr. Addison and tiie Re. ' 
 verend Doctor Stracha^, «"manely offered their person- 
 al services in this distribution. 
 
 The predatory incursions of the enemy on the ^<'-s. 
 tern frontier led to a similar provision for relief of im- 
 mediate distress occasioned b/ the plunder of the in 
 habitants on the streights of Erie and banks of tne lake. 
 
 Colonel Talbot has received the several sums of 
 two thousand and one thousand dollars, to purchase 
 necessaries for his neighbours, successively plundered 
 by predatory parties of t^e enemy, in conjunction wi^i, 
 the imfnendly Indians, 
 
 The particulars of th= expenditure of these suim 
 will bedetalled from the minutes ot the Board, and re. 
 ports of J,s agents, in form of an account, with a eon- 
 cise view of each particular case. xhe

 The resident committee at York, hiving paid l!ber, 
 al attention to every reprtrentation ol distress, still 
 found at the peace, a Urge sum iinappr,,pnatod. 
 
 It was thou-ht advi,eable to subdivide the sum in 
 proportion to supposed suffering of the respective 
 Districts, and to call again upon Gentlemen, to point 
 out those sufferers in their respeciitre districts, entitled 
 to partake of it. 
 
 Individual Directors to whom the distribution of th» 
 Nova Scotia benevolence was confided, making a nc, 
 ces^ary visit to the Niagara frontier, were delegated 
 to superintend, at the same time, the dispensation of 
 the sum appropriated to that district. 
 
 It must be satisfactory to learn, that such was tha 
 8um of competency throughout this happy colony, that 
 two years and a half of war, aggravated by repeated 
 and continued invasion, has left no apparent sya.p. 
 torn of suiFering and distress, other than the ruins of 
 villages and fences burned by the eacmy. 
 
 It has not,been attempted to compensate this loss on a 
 general scale, uut the liberality ot the province ot No- 
 va Scotia, appearing more particularljr directed to the 
 rehetof such sufferers in Newa.k, and on the lin=» 
 to Fort Erie, which afforded the first example of this 
 atrocious warfare, the delegation from your direction 
 gave the same relief to sufferers from the conflagration 
 at bt. Davids ; and in either case, limited the aid to 
 «uch whose circumstances might be supposed to ren- 
 <lersopar!ial a relief desirable. ^ |^ 
 
It remain-! to notice that part rf the original phn, 
 which made provision t<"r Mt-dals to be be towed on 
 such as might render dibtinguisn«d services to the 
 country. 
 
 One hundred pounds, were first destined to pro- 
 cure as many medals of silver as it could afford, und 
 an approved description ot the medal was sent t^ £n. 
 gland 
 
 Medals were received, but did not correspond in 
 the execution with the design of the device, they 
 fcave not been distributed. 
 
 At the close of the last campaign, the President was 
 requested to procure a report of mciit/'rious subjects, 
 as Candidates for this honorary reward ot services, and 
 his honor was pleased to trant^mit lists from officers 
 comnrianding corps of militia. 
 
 The view of the Directors so little concurred in 
 the varied principles of trtesc reports, that a committee 
 was appointed to report fit subjects tor this mark 
 oi. public gfititude^ 
 
 Upon the report of that committee a further sum 
 of one t'fiou'^and p unds sterling was placed at the dis- 
 posal of the-Trcis'irer, m procure more medals of a 
 different qtiality, but upon the same device, which is 
 coi^signed in this report. ^

 FORT GEORGE, tothDec, i8u. 
 
 Sir, 
 
 I have to acknowledge your letter of the 16th inst. 
 accompanying the plan of " The Loyal and Patriotic 
 Society 0/ Upper Canada," the purposes of which can- 
 not be too earnestly encouraged and promoted, it re- 
 flects a credit of the best kind on those with whom it 
 originated, or who have fostered its commencement ; 
 and I most cordially hope that their humanity, zeal, 
 and loyalty, will be rewarded by its accomplishing to 
 the fullest extent, all the purposes for which it is pro- 
 posed : to contribute to which 1 shall direcr twohun- 
 dred pounds to be subscribed in my name. 
 
 I have the honor to be.

 It is only of this date that the Society is apprised of

 jiN APPEAL 70 THE BRITISH PtJBLIC, 
 
 The defenieless situation of the Province of Uppc^ 
 Canada, on tb? sudden and totally unexpected declara- 
 ticnof war against Great Britain, by the United States 
 of Am- ilea, instead of dispiriting its hrave inhabitants, 
 animated them with the most determined courage. 
 Consisting hicfly of LoyaUsts driven from their na- 
 tive homes, during the American rebellion, they be- 
 hJd with Indignation their eld enemy envying them, ^ 
 t ei r new h;-bjtations won trcm the wilderness, and 
 again thir ling for their blood. Proud of tneir coun- 
 try, the r loyalty burst ic:th?ii ail its ancient splen- 
 dor ; they vr.luntteKed their services with acclamation , 
 hastened to join the very small number of his Majes-

 bired a degree of valour and fortitude, worthy of the 
 British name All rejoiced in the opportunity thus 
 given them, of shewing their ardour in defence of the 
 Province, and their determination to cling to that gall 
 lant and illustrious nation which com hats for the 
 rights ana liberties of the world, and of which tney 
 have the happiness to form a part. 
 
 Theirs was not the enthusia!*n[» of the moment, It 
 still burns with unabated vigir, ind not only enables a 
 raw militia to suffer with patience the greatest pri- 
 vations, to face death with astonishing intrepidity, but 
 also to emulate veteran soldiers in deeds of honor and 
 glory. Many, though exempted by age from mili- 
 tary duty,"scorn to claim the privilege, and it is not 
 uncommon to see men of seventy leaving thdr homes, 
 and demanding arms to m?et the enemy on tho lines. 
 Others too feeble to bear arms themselves, are s«'en 
 leading their sons to the military posts, and so strong 
 is the spirit ofpatriotism aniong the people, that it in- 
 fects the greater number of those who have recently 
 come to settle in the Province, from the United 
 States, and makes them efficient soldiers. Indeed this 
 noble spirit v/hich animates all our inhabitants, is 
 most affecting, and can only be inspired by the justice 
 of our cause. 
 
 In the different conflicts duiing the severe weather 
 in October, November, Dscember, and January, the 
 services of the militia nave been duly appreciated by 
 the Generals and Officers commanding, who saw 
 thcna with exultation, resisting the several invasions

 of the Pmvincc with veteran Intrepidity, nqr do ihey

 ance, united with the small body of regii'ar f rets at 
 their disposal, they have been enabled to takeor destroy 
 every enemy who has had thf teqaeqty to pass the bor^ 
 ders. 
 
 Bat such meritorious efforts were not made without 
 the most precious sacrifices j for while the militia, 
 during six months, were thus bravely repelling an in- 
 vadiisg foe, niany of iJbeir families were left in the 
 greatest distress ; called to arms, their agricultural 
 pursuits were suspended, they were unable to reap 
 their harve<;ts, ^nd consequently their farnis produced 
 little or nothing to comfort them tbroughthe incleo 
 mency pt a long wmtef. 
 
 To consider the m^ans of relieving their more pres- 
 sing distresses, and of preventing as far as possible their 
 recurrance in future, a general meeting oh the inha- 
 bitants ot the town of York, was convened; 
 
 When the following resolutions were unanimously 
 agreed upon. (See the first, sec^ndf and thtrd clauses 
 of the Instftution.) 
 
 The Subscription of the town of York amounted in 
 a hw days to eight uiidrcd and seventy fi e pounds 
 five shillings, provincial currency, dollars at five shil- 
 lings each, to be paid annually during the war ; and 
 that of Kingston to upwards of four h.indred pounds.

 ject of choosing Managers for this District } of the

 ' i^ni of i^etojal and Patriolic Society, arising from 
 snbacfjptions made within this Distri.n, and th5*R«vd. 
 Mr. George Stuart, Allan McLean, and William 
 Mitchell. Esqrs have in consequence been appointed 
 managers. Inclosed, I send you a copy of pur siihs- 
 cripti.;n amotntirg to ^466 ; los. This, however, on- 
 ly includes the town. There have been subscriptijn 
 papers sent into the country, from which as much 
 may be expected, as to make up 6t least ^600. At 
 so much of that species of distress prevades tne count- 
 ry which it was the cnief object of the Society to re, 
 lieve, it" is of importance that as little time as pos- 
 sible should be lost in diffusing its benefits to those 
 whoare entitled to a claim, under the declarations of 
 the Society. One mode of administering rellrf has 
 been euggested to me by experience, as the most ef- 
 fectual, when there is a large and helpless family, and 
 thatistoprovideasubstitnte, if onecan be found, to 
 be paid from the funds of the Society, and leave the 
 head of such family at home ; all this, however, will, 
 I presume, be left Xu the discretion of the respective 
 managers, who have the happy charge of administering 
 blessings, , . •

 Mitchell, Esqr. with whom they will be happy to co- 
 operate at all times, in promoting the objects of 4he So-

 The Directors of the Society learned with Tegret, 
 that offence had been taken at the words, *• Clergymen 
 of the established Church," in their third resolution, 
 constituting the Society, as implying a distinction in- 
 jurious to other regular Clergymen of great respectabi- 
 lity. As it is the anjiious wi h of the S ciety to conciliate 
 and to prorrote union and harmony as much as posssi- 
 ble, and by no means to patronize any distinction 
 whatever, the meeting uhanin ously agreed to strike 
 out the words " the Clergymen of the established 
 Church," and to substitute in their place, ♦« all re-

 The Committee then met, and 
 
 Res^htd, That the Petition of Samuel Mungre is 
 deferred, because he was allowed to remain at home, 
 but will be reconsidered so soon as he is called upon 
 active service. 
 
 Res9lved» That the PetilJon of John Stoner is found 
 inadmissable on the grounds therein stated, because his 
 son has served as a substitute, and therefore not an ob- 
 ject contemplated by this Society, nevertheless they 
 ordered him Twenty Dollars on account of the distress 
 occasioned by the former services of bis son, in the mi- 
 litia. 
 
 I Resolved, The Petition of Eleazar Norton ha- 
 ving been taken into consideration, they ordered him 
 Ten Dollars to assist in clothing his children, it being 
 the opinion of the Society that a weekly allowance is 
 unnecessary, as his family now receive rytiocs.

 I have to acknowledge the receipt of your Cir-

 now forward a list of subscriptions obtained in this 
 place. The Subscription paper is still left open, aaf 
 I expect more will yet come forward, as every person 
 to whom I have mentioiied the subject, highly approve 
 of the views of the Society, but generally say, witii 
 me, that their means are not equal to their incli<» 
 nation. 
 
 i beg to observe, that the Gentlemen of Sandwich j 
 are noi included here, as I nave understooJ that com- 
 munications have been made by you to them ; they will 
 doubtless subscribe and liberally.

 our mutual friend Mr. Wood, appeared, of whose 
 kindneis I now avail myself to address you. 
 
 I return my best thanks for the mark of confidence 
 you place in me, ar d should have been very happy 
 to meet your suggestion of becoming your Banker, for 
 the deposit ot the funds belonging to Ac Loyal and 
 Patriotic Society of U^per Canada, could I have un-

 praying to be excused The moining atter tne re- 
 ceipt of your favour, I waited upon Mr Blackwood, 
 Who kindly sa^d, that holding already the proportion 
 ct Subscriptions belonging to Upper Canada, from 
 the S cicry in Quebec, ai.d having opened an account . 
 for the same, he would also receiv? the monies in the 
 hands of Mr. H^le, if so appointed, ani hold the 
 whole amount at the disposal of tfcc Di ectors or 
 Treasurer, adding that he couli not undertake to 
 charge hiiriself with any re^rittances tnat .T.ight come 
 fronaothercountries, and the further condition, thit 
 should circumstances require him tole.ive the countrv, 
 he must be relieved from the trusty this, of cou.sc. 
 fvould be acQuifcsced in- ' 
 
 A3 to ^ny charge of Agency, as hinted in your fa- 
 vour, the pleasure of contributing in any way towards 
 the furtherance of to laudable an undertaking, as tnat 
 of the S icicty, whose inters, you, and I trust all of 
 us, have so much at heart, would, in my opinion, be 
 ample remuneration to any gentleman who may be 
 honored with the duty in question, and I believe that 
 Mr. Blackwood coincides perfectly in that sen, 
 timent.

 tier I was shocked beyond treasure, at beholding the 
 desolanon that had been spread over the once flouriah- 
 J.;gvill.ge of Niagara, by an atrocious and sacri- 
 Lgeous enemy. Every feeling of just resemment was 
 «erted against a Government that could sanction suci*

 flected that the innocem and unfortunate inhabitants 
 ^ere^rtven from their hou5es, to undergo ail the se.

 In presentfng an abstract of Ms general account to 
 •he Board of Directors, the Tr.eas„rer k^s.^c hpnor 
 to rept rt, 
 
 That since his last andit, the sti-i of sfx thousand 
 nine hundred and eight pounds eleven s' iliings and 
 four pence tarthing, has been distribured among tt.e 
 •ufft-rers by he war, and that the sum ut four hundred 
 V and thirty seven p„unds fifteen shillings and six, pe.ice 
 stands appropriated by vote* of tht Board, but not vet 
 expended, leaving the- remainder, thirteen hundred 
 and e/gnty fojr pounds t vu shil!,,,^? anj twa pence, 
 at the disposal of tfie Directors. Tha during tlig 
 period, I ieut. General Sir Gordon Drummond, trans- 
 mitted his second dividend of his prize m »ney, for ta- 
 king Fort Niagara, a-nouriing to one ^udred'anj for- 
 ty pounds, to be applied in aid of the funds ot the 
 Society, a.-.c' it may not be improper to remind the 
 bociety, that thjs donation add i to those already gj- 
 v^ntotheZ.^^/^„^ Patnctic Sccieiy by our said iaie 
 Pendent,amounttofi.e hundred pcunds. Provincial 
 currency, a noble donation, which cannot fa^l ofe: 
 citing the warmest acknowledgements. 
 
 The Treasurer has likewise to acknow ledge a dona- 
 tion of twenty pounds froa Majar General Shank, so 
 well known In this Province. 
 
 The Treasurer takes (his opportunity of reminding 
 
 the 
 
 foui 
 
191 
 
 the Board, rhat hi was directed, when paying ^rfon.^ 
 t,on in g. .vernment bilb, to any distressed p^son a 
 greeable t„ a vote c.f the Directors, nnt to demanc! \ke 
 interes. ansing upon them, it being their „nanJa,cnr 
 w .h toexerc.sc the.r function, with the most liberal , 
 del.cacy ; th,s accounts for the interest in the general 
 abs.racts, appearing less than it would have othe-vvi«. 
 been as it will be seen on exa.nming th. detailed 3c. 
 counts, to fonn part of the donation. There wa. sd. 
 dom any portion of the Fund, of the Society, I>...r5.<. 
 interest, except what was placed in the hanis of M^s^- 
 G.rrard. Yeoward, Gillespie & Co. and these G-.t- 
 lemsn, with uncommon liberality, paid iMter^n'for 
 the sums deposited with the,«. though subject da.ly :^" 
 thedrafts of tac Treasurer. ^ 
 
 It will be seen, on examining the different abstract, 
 that dun.g the fi^sr year, only the sum of nineteen 
 hundred and .hiny one pounds thirteen shiiiin., a.1 
 five pe.ce, was distributed among s.fF.rors ; ',. ji^.

 rinfrsafr conveyances, or persons whom they could 
 entrust, or who would take the trouble to seek out ob* 
 jects in distress, the principal people in each district 
 being actively eniploycd in ttie war. It ought like, 
 wise to be remarked^ that while tho war raged, dis- 
 tress was not s:) generally felt. Most persons had 
 some connection, directly or indirecMy, with the Go^ 
 vernment, and the Inhabitants had entered so much 
 into the spirit of the war, that they did not feci dis- 
 tresses which, at other times, would excite their most 
 bitter complaints. 
 
 After the close of the war, the distrets was gre?,tly 
 augmenled, and more generally felt, applications be- 
 camie numerous, and the expenditure much more con- 
 siderable, nor is tKe distress by any means relieved. 
 Applicants are dailv appearing, and altho' this So- 
 ciety has al.eat^ydi&tributed from its funds, between 
 four and five thousand pounds, on the Niagara Dis* 
 trict,the Reverend Robert Addison and Thomas Dick- 
 son, Esqr. request, ii possible, farther aid. 
 
 Resolvedy That Lieut. Colonel Allan and Lieut. 
 Colonel Camerop, and Grant Powell, Esqr. be a Com- 
 mittee to audit the Treasurer's Account. 
 
 Thr report was received. The Tieasurer of the 
 Loyal and Patriotic Society's Accounts baring been ex- 
 amined and audited by us this day, we find in his 
 hands thirteen hundred and eighty four pounds two 
 shilliiigs and two pence Halifax currency.

 at their discretion, among the sufferers on the Niagara 
 frontier. °

 REMARKS. 
 This man'a distress exceeds alnaoRt any thing that has 
 come before the Society. His eldest son volunteered in the 
 flank company ; was at the battle of Quetnston, and on the 
 lines during the whole cainpaign of 1812. In December he 
 caught the measles, and being exposed to cold, was ill for 
 mire than twelve roonlhs. His second son was liitewiseon 
 duty, and behaved well at the battle of York, but returned 
 sick, and after lingering t\Vo month died. IIis third son was 
 in the militia, and caught cold escorting pristiners to Kini'- 
 Bton, which terminated in a fever, which left him full of 
 running sores, which still continue open and render him to- 
 tally incapable of labour, or even of taking care of his per- 
 son. His fourth son wai also upon duty with the militia, 
 and likewise himself, by all which his farm was neglected', 
 his wife and younger children exposed to much hardship; 
 from a competence he is reduced to necessity. This caee 
 was 80 peculiarly distressing, that the society ordered him 
 for present relief, not meaning that thtir danation should be 
 limited to this sum 
 
 These two women came down to get their pension, but

 tributing ten pounds per annum, during the war, is virtually

 At a General Meeting, holden at the C'lly of 
 London Tavtrn, on Tuesday, the m day of 
 Juy, 18J3, to consider of a Subscription for 
 the Relief of the Inhabitants of the British 
 North American Colonies, who have been, in- 
 ^^ohed in Distress, by the invasions of these 
 Provinces, by the American army, 
 
 ■■■ 111*1 
 
 Mis Royal Higimess tlieDukcofKenti.Uhe Cimir, 
 
 i 
 
 Hesolvettj 
 That this meetin- are deeply impressed with 
 the strongest sentiments of admiration, at the 
 unshaken loyahy, fidehty, and attachment, of 
 the inhabitants of His Majesty's North Ameri- 
 can Colonies, and of their gallant defence of 
 these Provinces, which were attacked on the 
 Declaration of AVar, by the American army. 
 
 That three successive Invasions of the Province 
 of Upper Canada, to which the chief exertions 
 ot the enemy were directed, have been repelled 
 by the valour of the Volunteers and Militia, in 
 
 u u 
 
 
S54 
 
 aid of a small number of His Majesty's forces 
 and the invading- army has invariably been com' 
 pelled to surrender to a force, collectively of a 
 much smaller amount, and of which the rc'-ular 
 troops, have seldom exceeded one tenth of the 
 number of the enemy. 
 
 That the severe sacrifices and losses, usually 
 attendant on the invasion of any country, have 
 particularly afflicted His Majesty's American 
 Provinces, attacked by the enemy ; as in every 
 instance, the inhabitants have volunteered to £t 
 man under the age of seventy, leaving their farms, 
 upon the produce of which their support depend, 
 uncultivated and neglected : That the conse- 
 quent privations and distress it has occasioned to 
 themselves and their famihes, are just objects 
 for the generosity and liberality of the British 
 nation. 
 
 That this Meeting, in appealing to the public 
 feelings on the present occasion, cannot but an- 
 ticipate an extension of that bounty, in allevia- 
 tion of the sufferings of their fellow countrymen^ 
 which has been so liberally bestowed on our Por- 
 tuguese, Russian, and German allies. 
 
 That a subscription be now ppencd. 
 
355 
 
 That a Committee be appointed, with leave to 
 add to their number, but any five to be a (juoruni,

 YORK, 22d November, 1812. 
 
 :iw Exhortation pronovmed after the Sermon, 
 or rather in continuation of it, to induce the 
 Inhabitants to contribute to the comfort of the 
 Militia fighting upon the Lines. Several of 
 the Inhabitants had agreed on the propriety of 
 the measure, and requested that a Meeting to 
 take it into consideration might be called from 
 the pulpit, 
 
 X HE train of thought pursued in the sernioii, 
 may serve to put your minds into that benevo- 
 lent frame which best corresponds with the pro- 
 position which I am about to make. We are 
 engaged in an arduous war with our neigh- 
 bours—a war most unjust and unprovoked . but 
 hitherto our affairs, through the blessing of God, 
 have prospered in a, most astonishing manner' 
 It is impossible to contemplate the various events 
 of the campaign witiiout acknowledging a pro- 
 tecting Providence guiding our steps and Ic^d- 
 
 I 
 
 \M 
 
ing' us to victory. But we are not to expect 
 /his tide of prosperity to continue if we do not, 
 next to a firm reliance on Almiglity God, exert 
 all our physical powers. The blessing of keaven 
 aids our cndi'avours, but does not stand in their 
 place : tlic luisbandman tills the ground, audi 
 (jod givoth the increase. 
 
 Notwithstanding our brilliant success upon 
 land, we are critically situated ; our exertions hy 
 M-ater have not been equally prosperous, and our 
 naval superiority appears now to be gone. That 
 M-c may still retrieve it, seems sufficiently clear, 
 provided we exert ourselves quickly, r.nd the. 
 forbearance which we have hitherto exhibited, 
 jnay have its advantages. It must convince our 
 enemies that we did not anticipate hoslfiities; 
 and even after their commencement, we did not 
 tliink that they would continue. The time of 
 forbearance is now past, and we must come for- 
 ivard with courage and alacrity; nor are we to 
 relax our exertions under the supposition that 
 Jiegocialions are going forward ; we must not be 
 anxi(<usly enquiring for flags of truce, for condi- 
 tions of peace, for respites from the war, but we 
 must prepare for the event, and we must for ever 
 keep in mind, that jt was more difficult for the 
 <iominant faction of the enemy to declare the war, 
 than to maintain it after it is begun. It ought 
 
365 
 
 wot to be concealed, that very diiTcreiit causes 
 from those of a commercial nature, has produced 
 this contest. Our neighbours seek this province, 
 they seek it because it is the oniy bar to the suc- 
 cess of their system of driving- back, and extir- 
 minating- the Indians. They know that so lon^ 
 as we keep possession of this country^ we will 
 protect these unfortunate mcn^ and supply them 
 with means of defence. 
 
 The preparations which they made for our 
 subjugation, prove how very important they con- 
 sider this province — they serit an army to attack 
 us during' a profound peace, when they Mere 
 offering terms of conciliation to our Ambassa- 
 dor; but they have been vanquished and dis- 
 graced, and this country will now attract tho 
 attention, and excite the admiration of the most 
 distant nations. It will be told by the futuro 
 Historian, that the Province of Upper Canada, 
 without the assistance of men or arms, except a 
 Ijandlul of regular troopsj, repelled its invaders, 
 slew or took them all prisoners, and captured 
 from its enemies the greater i)art of the army by 
 which it was defended. Tlie loyalists, their chil- 
 dren and connections, who have been so long 
 the peculiar care of the British empire, havQ 
 proved that they are deserrlng of their attention 
 -s-that they merit the farther protection of no^ 
 
 ;'i 
 
 I'i 
 
366 
 
 I>cin- allowed to fall a prey to their former im-. 
 placable enemies, or of being- long- left without 
 the most powerful assistance. And in return, 
 our parent state has a right to expect the con- 
 tinuance of our exertions, commei-edso glori- 
 ously ; and that while we cling to her as our 
 anchor and hope, it will be with firmness and 
 resolution. And never, surely, was greater ac- 
 tivity shewn in any country, than ovr militia 
 have exhibited, never greater valour, cooler reso- 
 solution, and more approved conduct ; they have 
 emulated the choicest veterans, and they have 
 twice saved the country. They are still upon' 
 the Lines, still ready to repel and destroy every 
 
 invader. But while a great portion of our 
 
 inhabitants are employed in military duty, what 
 are wc doing 't Are we sustaining any part of 
 the burden / Are we content with criticising 
 their labours, and making gloomy anticipations > 
 Would it not be better for us to share in the 
 burden, and as our services are not wanted in 
 the field, to contribute as much as possible to the 
 comfort of those who are called out ? 
 
 Impressed with the propriety of thanking our 
 noble defenders, several gentlemen of the first 
 respectability, have suggested the propri -ty of 
 calling, a meeting of the inhabitants of /ork 
 to subscribe as liberally as their circun>^tanccs 
 
367 
 
 will admit, for the purpose of purchasing flannel 
 shirts, and other comforts for the miUtia at Nia- 
 gara. And we oujjht to consider, that it is much 
 better to expend some part of our property ou 
 our friends and protectors, than in contributions 
 to the enemy. It is not to be concealed, that 
 this is in all appearance the only alternative. — 
 Let us then come forward, chearfully and liber- 
 ally. This is not a time for backwardness, for 
 '•alculating interests ; every thing is at stake, oui- 
 property, our lives and liberties are in immediate 
 hazard, we cannot pretend the danger is distant, 
 it is hovering around us, andean only be averted 
 by tlie most determined exertions. Let us then 
 unite like a band of brothers. Let us come with 
 full hands and liberal hearts. Let us convince 
 our noble defenders, that we are anxious to share 
 in their difficulties, that we are employed in con- 
 tributing to their comfort, and thoughtful of their 
 welfare, while they are engaged in the war.— 
 Let us emulate the liberality of the Lsraelites in 
 contributing to the Tabernacle of the Lord, for 
 our Tabernacle of safety, throu^-h the blessinir 
 of God, consists in our frientio and brottiers, our 
 sons and companions wiio are on the Lines. —

 saved from the enemy, it is so much saved from 
 the burning- ; a pledg-e of yo ir patriotism, i murk 
 of your sincerity in the cause wliich we huvc to 
 defend. On this occasion, 1 do not only address 
 myself to the gentleman of the town and vicinity; 
 the assistance of the ladies will also be required, 
 to finish the plan we have in contemplation; but 
 there is something in the feu\ale character, so 
 generous, humane, and benevolent, that when 
 their assistance is necessary, they require no ex- 
 ho* tation, they anticipate what is wanting-, and 
 surpass expectation. 
 
 When we intimate, therefore, that we shall 
 request their aid, in making- up such articles of 
 clothing- as we may deem most necessary for the 
 comfort of our defenders, they will rejoice in 
 the opportunity of proving their zeal, and offer 
 their services with alacrity. The time is come 
 for all of us to shew that we are worthy of the 
 freedom we possess ; to prove that if our present 
 services are not required, we are ready to contri- 
 bute our equivalent, that we are all united, heart 
 and soul in the cause, and that we are worthy 
 of our name and nation. 
 
 And when our parent state shall come to the 
 knowledge of our exertions, when the film re- 
 spectingour vindictive enemy shall be withdrawft

 from her eyes, and she shall behold what we 
 have done and are doing, we who ! aye s a >^d 
 in her generous bounty, who are dear to her 
 from our former isuiferings ; she will raise her 
 .energies, she will stretch forth her protecting 
 arm, and rescue us from our treacherous foes ; 
 ahe will do morie, she will avenge lis on our ene- 
 mies, and she will acknowledge us is her children 
 
 with pride and exultation. Let us not then, 
 
 my brethr.il, be Wanting to ourselves, let us 
 prove ourselves a part, and a pure part of that 
 illustrioiis nation, who combats for the freedom 
 of nations ; and let us riot despond, should re- 
 verses be experienced, for they will soon be r6- 
 turnedi with interest upon our foes. When you 
 meet them to-morroW, consider' yoilrsiibscriptioii 
 as so much paid for the safety of isdl you possess, 
 as a debt you owe to our warriors, as a proof of 
 your sincerity in the cause, and an earnest of stii/ 
 greater exertions, if hereafter found necessary. 
 Engknd expects all her children to do their duty, 
 and it is ours at this momfent, to comfort those 
 who are fighting our battles, and defending 
 every thin^ dear to us at the hazard of their 
 livfes.

 JnMress to the York MUilia, «„ the subject 
 of the Patriotic Socittt/. 
 
 Gentlemeiij 
 
 ^ In the unprovoked war wasred 
 asamst us by the American Government, provi- 
 dence hath evidently smiled o„ the justice of o„r 
 cause. But our exertions have been attended 
 with many privations and sacrifices bard to be 
 borne; and should hostilities continue, many 
 
 more wil be required 1„ order to mitigate 
 
 some of these, the inhabitants of York came for- 
 ward to contribute towards the comforts oftlu! 
 riank Companies, and a large sum of money 
 was raised for that purpose, of which the greater 
 I^rt ,s expended : but on reflection, it appeared 
 that something more might be done of aperma- 
 nent nature ; and that portion of the inhabitant, 
 "ho arc not liable to military duty, eager to

 prbve that IHfcir zeal in the cause, is not inferibl" 
 to that of those who areiu actual service, formed 
 themselves into a Society, named The Loyal and 
 Patriotic Society of Upper Canada^ for the fol- 
 lowing distinct purjjoses. 
 
 1st. — To afford aid and relief to such families 
 of the Militia, in all parts of the Province, as 
 shall appear to experience particular distress, in 
 consequence of the death or absence of some of 
 their friends and relations. 
 
 2nd.— To afford like aid and relief to such 
 Militiamen as have been, or shall be disabled 
 from labour, by wounds or otherwise, in course 
 of the service aforesaid. ' < 
 
 3rd.— To reward merit, excite emulation, 
 and commemorate glorious exploits, by bestow- 
 ing medals, or other honorary marks of public 
 approbation and distinction ; for extraordinary 
 instances of personal courage, or fidelity in de- 
 fence of the Province by individuals, either of 
 His Majesty's regular or militia forces, and 
 also the seamen on the Lakes. 
 
 This Society, so honorable in its nature, and 
 which, we hope will prove most important in its 
 eonsequences, was first suggested by the Honble. 
 
Mh Silby, and received with declamation. In 
 a public meeting of the gentlemen oi' York and 
 its vicinity, the Chief Justice explained in a very 
 interesting speech, the great advantages likely 
 to result from it, if generally supported and asr- 
 sisted by his most respectable colleagues^ pre- 
 pared rules for its management : to these, th^ 
 meeting gave their cordial assent, and in a few 
 minutes, nearly two thousand dollars per annum 
 Were subscribed. There are some who have 
 given during the continuance of the war^ one 
 tenth of their income. General Siieaffe, in a 
 later to the Chief Justice, our chairman, not 
 only extols in the warmest language the objects 
 of the Society^ but far exceeding oui* sanguine 
 expectations, presents us with two hundred 
 pounds.— Colonel Bishoppe, a stranger, and not 
 an inhabitant of the Province, with a liber- 
 ality above all praise, subscribes one hundred 
 pounds. 
 
 !H 
 
 Now, Gentlemen, my object in addressing 
 you, is to procure your co-operation foremost in 
 deeds of warlike glory • we are desirous that 
 you siiould become sharers in tliis work of bene- 
 volence. Let your contribution be as small as 
 you please, a halfpenny, a fartliing per day, any 
 thing to shew your good will, it is not the 
 V4lue of what you give, it is your countenance 
 
 'L 'i, 
 
378 
 
 that we desire. We know that your means ar€r 
 narrow, but your example is inestimable ; and 
 we shall be proud in having you for our com- 
 panions and supporters in mitigating the dis- 
 tresses incident to the war. And when it is 
 heard that the York volunteers and their com- 
 rades, the first in danger, have patronised this 
 Society, the militia of the other districts, anxi- 
 ous to emulate the military glory of the conque- 
 rors of Detroit and Queenston, will hasten ta 
 imitate you, in contributing to the support of 
 our benevolent design. Those that join will in- 
 timate to their captains, what they are willing to 
 give, while on actual service, that it may be paid 
 over monthly to the treasurer, and they will 
 remember, that they are soothing the anguish 
 of the sick and wounded ; protecting helpless 
 children and aged parents, and doing all they 
 can to keep at a distance from those they love 
 and revere, all the privations and horrors of tlje 
 war.

 hundred pounds, being received this day by Dr.

 presented, resolved to visit the Frontier, and 
 seek out subjects ibr this benevolence, and to 
 apply it to the relief of the suflerers by the con- 
 flng-ration of Newark, and the houses on the line 
 to Fort Erie. 
 
 1816. 
 
 M/y.— Mr. Justice Campbell's attendance at the 
 Eastern term, being- prevented by indisposition, 
 und the same cause continuing- his absence from 
 York, communicated to him the intention to visit 
 the Frontier in person, and on receiving- his ap- 
 probation of the measure, requested Mr. Dickson 
 and the Reverend Mr. Addison, who had been 
 agents for the distribution of the Loyal and Pa- 
 triotic Fund in the District, to ascertain the 
 names of the sufferers at Newark,, and on the 
 line to Fort Erie, especially from conflagration

 ^-iving the best effect to the liberality of the sister 
 
 Province. 
 
 After canvassing^ various propositions for the

 distriljiition, agreed to limit it to tlie town of 
 Newark, and the line to Fort Erie : and as we 
 formed a Board of Directors of the Loyal and 
 l^itriotic Sociely, and had at our disposal I lie 
 sum of two thounand poiinds of their funds for 
 this District, decided to relieve the sulVercrs at 
 St, Davids from it. 
 
 Ag-rccd to abstract from the list for relief ell 
 such, as, upon r^ood information, would receive, 
 no cssenlial benefit from the partial relief tlie 
 fund would airord.

 ^vant by the lowest value, thus to augmcMt th« 
 pr(jportion in iavour of the most distressed witlir 
 out varvlnii- tlie sum. 
 
 Upon this proposition, otiicrvvlse satisfactory, 
 itwaslound that some would receive more than 
 their wiioje lojis, and a rateable proportion was 
 adopted, daniiiiHijiiigiis ihe sum of loss increased, 
 and upon this j): inciple, the sum of (wo thoiisa.id 
 five hundred and fii'ty-niue pounds, eighteen 
 shillings and four-pence, thee-fa things, was 
 distributed; exceeding the principal and interest 
 of the sum received, as per schedule hereunto

 To Tlwmat Jefferson, Esquira of Monl'i cello, Ex.Presidenl ofUie 
 Untied Stales of America. 
 Sir, 
 
 In your letter to a member of Congress recently 
 published respecliiig the sale of your library,* 1 perceive that 
 ^■ou rre angry with the Brifish, for the destruction of the pub- 
 He building's at Washington, and attempt with your ac- 
 customed cai.'dour to compare that transaction to the dcvasta. 
 tions comn:itted by the barbarians in the michile ages. As you 
 are not ignorant of the mode of carrying on tJie war, adoj;ied 
 hy your friends, you must have known that ttiis was a small re- 
 tuialioH after redress had been refused for burnings and depre- 
 dations nut only of public but private property committed by. 
 Ihcra in Canada; but wfe are too well acquainted with youT 
 li.-ilred to Great Britain to look for truth or csndour in any 
 statement of yours, where she is concerned. It is not (or your 
 ififormatioi:, tLertfore, that 1 relate in this letter, those dcla 
 of the army of the United States m the Canadas, which pro- 
 Toked the conflagaratiott of the public buildings at Washington, 
 because you are well acquainted with them already ; but to 
 show the world that \o the United Slates and not to Great Bri- 
 tain must be charged ail the miseries attending a mode of wari 
 fare, originating- with them, and unprecedented iu modern 
 times.

 The history of the two first carap^Jgn. prove bevond di.^pute, 
 4hat you hid reduced (ire and pillage to a regular sys.-in. It 
 was hoped, that the severe retaliation taken for the humin/j of 
 Newark, wouJd h.ive put a stop to a pri.,cUce so repujrnant to the 
 nianiiers and habits of a civil zed a^^e, bat so fir w::s this from 
 being the case, that th<. I'^ird campaign exhibits e<iur,l nr^rnii- 
 ties. General Brown !„i,: v.,,«{e the c»iiHry between thfpp.w« 
 and Fori Erie, burning null, and private houses nvd rcnH>ri,.<r 
 those notconsu oed by fi-,^ ..-.inb .biiabir. The pi. „.t t viila-e 
 of St. David, was burnt by h.s unay when about to ret: eat. 
 
 On the I5t!i of M-)y, a detachment of (be American a^mv.un- 
 der Colonel Cam|)bell, L.nded at Lnng t'oi..t,<lislrict of ho.-Aon 
 Upper Canada, and on that and the follo-,vi, g day. pi|!-,x>ei; -..nd 
 laid waste as much of the adjacent country as tbe3 could reach 
 They burnt the village pf Dover, ^iih the niiiis, and ail the' 
 mills, stores, distillery, and dwelling tiouses in the vi"i.:ity 
 carrying away sLci. pr perty as was portable, and kii!i,:g tbe' 
 cattle. The properly tak. n and destroyed on this occasion, was 
 estimated at fifty thousauJ dollars. 
 
 On the 16th ofAugnst, some A morle.n troops and InJIins 
 from Detroit, surprised the settlement of Port i'al hot where 
 they committed the mosi atroci..n« act. of v.ol.nce/ieavinff 
 upwards of 834 men, women, a:id children, ia a state .f n^

 On the 20lh of September, a second e.vcNrsion ^., nvuin by 
 the garrison of Detroit, spreading fire and pillage (hrouoh 
 the settlements in the Western district of Upper Cana.U. 
 ^irenty seven families were red.. eed on this occasion to the 
 
402 
 
 
 greaUst dlitress-. ....Early in Not. Gen. Me Arthur, with a ItrgA 
 body of m;>unteJ Kcritnckiansand Indians, mnd<;a rapid marcli 
 through the Western, and part of th« Lnndon districts, burning 
 all the mills, and destroying provigions, and living upon the 
 iohahitaiitfl. IftherewnB less private plunder than usual, it wan 
 because the invaders bad no means of carr}ing it awaj. 
 
 On our part, sir, the war ha^ been cr.rried on in the most 
 forhearinf; manner. Diirinj; the two first campaigns, we ah- 
 ktained from any acts of retaliation, notwithstanding the great 
 enormities which we have mentioned. It was no- till the horri- 
 ble destruction of Newark, attended with so many acts of 
 ■trority, that wc burnt the villagHs of of Lewisfon, BufFaloe, and! 
 Black Rock. At this our Commander paused. He pledged 
 himself to proceed no farther, on the condition of your return- 
 ing t(» the rules of legitimate warfare. Fii.ding you pursuin* 
 the same s}st> m this last campaign, instfal of d* stroying the 
 towns and villigeswithi'i his reach, to which be h>id condition- 
 ally ektrnd«ii bis protection, hf applied to Admiral Cochrane to 
 in!»kr relalitititn up'Hi ihe coaat. The Admiral informed Mr. 
 Mcnrot; of the nature of thi« application, aidhis determination 
 to comply, unless compensati<in was made for the private pro- 
 perly wantonly d'slroy^-d in Uppnr Canada No answer was 
 returned for several weeks, durin^if wh'ch time Washington wa» 
 taken. At Jengtb. a letter purportinf^ to be answered, arrived, 
 [in vihich the Secretary dwells, with much lamentation, on the 
 (leHtruction of the public buildinjjs at. Washington; which not- 
 wilbstandinjc the destrnctiou of the same Kind buildinL'S at 
 the capital of Upper Canada, he a^Vects to consider without a pa- 
 rallel in modern times. So little regard has he for truth, that 
 at the vftry moment of his speaking of th.- honor and generosity 
 practised !>y his government in condntlmg the war, General 
 M<- Arthur was directed l»y the President to proceed upon his 
 hunting excursion.

 wonld make them up two hundred. He confe.!.e« that .ome of 
 the women and children were killed, owing to the warrior, mix. 
 ing with their familie.. He mentions taking only 84 Prisoner, 
 •f Women «od Children Now it i. evident, that in a village 
 conUmm^ two hundred warrior., there mu.t have been nearly 
 •• many women and men, perhaps more, and unquctionably 
 tht number of children exceeded the men ai d women together, 
 what then became of all these. Neither does General Coffee 
 mention the old men. Such things speak for then.selve.. The 
 poor Indian, fought it appear., with bows and arrows, and were 
 able only to kill five Americans. Their situation was too re. 
 mote for them to receive assistmce from the British. Their 
 land, were wanted, and they must be exterminated. 8iuce this 
 period, the greater part of the nation has been massacred by 
 General Jackson, who destroyed them wantonly in cold blood. 
 There wa. no resistance, if we except individual ebullition of 
 despair, when it was found that there wa. no mercy. Jackson 
 mentions exultingly, that the morning after he had destroyed a 
 whole village, sixteen Indian, were discovered, bid under tho 
 bank of the river, who were dragged oni and murdered. Upon 
 these inhuman exploits. President M-'i^on only remarks to 
 Congress, that the Creskshad received n salutary.chastisement.

 «rueU!M cxerciied against these wretched natlois are without 
 s parallel, except the coldness and apathy with which they ar* 
 glossed over by the President. Such is the conduct of the bu. 
 maae goveroinent of the United States, which is incessantly 
 •mployed, as they pretend, in civilizing the Indians ; but it ia 
 lime to finish this horrid detail ; yre shall therefore conclud* 
 with a short extract of a letter from the Spanish Governor of 
 East Florida, Benigno Garaia, to Mr, Mitchell, Governor of tha 
 State of Georgia, to show that the policy of the GovernmeBt 
 ot the United SUtes in regard to the Indians, is now generally 
 known. 
 
 " The Province of East Florida nnay be invaded in time of 
 profound peace, the planters mined, and the population of th« 
 capital stirved, and according to your doctrine alljs fair j they 
 are a set of outlaws if they resist. The Indians are to be in- 
 •ulted, threatened, and driven from their lands j if they resist 
 nothing less than extermination is to be their fate." 
 
 7/* and Qth^—Paiage anddettruction of private property in th» 
 Bay of Chesapeake, and the neighbouring country, and craeltift 
 exercised at Hampton in Virginia. 
 
 It required astonishing effrontery to make these articles of ae- 
 cusatioo, after flic depredations and cruelties committed by th« 
 army of the United States in the Canadas. 
 
 In the attack upon Craney Island, some boats in the service 
 •f Great Britain ran aground. In this situation they made sig- 
 nals of surrender, but the Americans continned to fire upou 
 them from the shore. Many jumped into the water and swam 
 towards land, but they were shot as they approached, withonl 
 mercy. A few days after, Hampton was taken, and some de- 
 predations were committing by the Foreign troops, who bad 
 seen some of their comrades to cruelly massacred, but befor* 
 any material damage was done, they were remanded on board. 
 Several letters from Hampton mention the behaviour of the Brin 
 tish, while there, as highly meritorious, and contradict the viia 
 calumnies of the Democratic print, which Mr. AladispB cojiisv

 PosTSCRiFT.— From General M'Arthur's official account of bit 
 predatory ezcunion, I makt the foilowjog extract to prove bit 
 Mtraordioarj veracity. 
 
 " We were thus enabled to arrive at thfe town of Oxford, on* 
 '' hundred and fifty miles distant from Detroit, before the in- 
 ^' habitants knew that a force was approaching. They were 
 " promised protection to their persons and prfrperty, upon the 
 " condition that they remained peaceably at their respective 
 *' homes : otherwise, they were assilred, that their property 
 " would be destroyed. 
 
 " However, notwithstanding this injunction, and the sacred 
 ** obligation of a previouc parole, two of the inhabitants escaped 
 *• to Burford, with the intelligence of our arrival. Their pro- 
 " perty consistini; of two dwelling bouses, two bartu, and on* 
 *' shop, wtre instantly consumed.'* 
 
 George Nichol and Jacob Wood, are the persons here al« 
 laded to, both of whom applied to the Loyal and Patriotic So- 
 ciety of Upper Canada for relief. The former had returned 
 home before General M'Artbur's report to the Secretary at War 
 appeared in the Newspapers : but the latter was at York after 
 that publication. '* At a meeting of the Directers of the Loyal 
 and Patriotic Society, boldeu at York, on the 21st of January 
 1815, appeared Jacob Wood, from the county of Oxford, and 
 produced a certificate from Major Bowenjstatingthathe accom- 
 panied George Nichol from Oxford te Burford to ghe inform- 
 ation of the advance of the American army, and in consequenc* 
 of which his House, Furniture, Barn, Hay, Grain, Joiner's 
 Shop, and tools were destroyed by the enemy. 
 
 *' Jacob Wood was interrogated by the Society, whether ho 
 or George Nichol were paroled by General M'Arthur, previous 
 io their giving the British warning of the approach of the 
 American army. In answer, be stated, that he and George Ni- 
 chol had left their buues on hearing of the appraach af the eot- 
 
 FV-i. ■ 
 
413 
 
 ilay, and were so far from gning their parol«, that they aeTtr 
 were in the power of Ueneral M^Arthurf or hit amy. 
 
 " The Director! put this question to Jacob Wood, becaui* 
 General M'Arthur, in his official report, states it as his r^asaa 
 for burning the bouses, and destroying every thing belonging to 
 these two men, that they bad broken their parole.** 
 
 General M'Arthur had some reputation to lose, and ought to 
 have linovrn that such a gross departure from truth was not th« 
 way to preserve it. The courage and Zeal of Nichol and Wood, 
 instead of punishment, deserved and would have obtained tbo 
 respect of a gallant and generous enemy. Bnt on all occasions, 
 the loyal inhabitants of this Province have been selected by 
 your Geneirals as the objects of their pecnliar hatred. 
 
 To pass rapidly, with a large body of cavalry, throui^h m 
 country, thinly inhabited, and without the means of resistance % 
 to feed upon the defenceless inhabitants ; to burn the mills, none 
 of which belonged to Government, and to destroy the proTisioni 
 and the whole property of respectable mep of principle ; and 
 then to run away, at the first symptom of serious opposition, i» 
 no great exploit. General M* Arthur has been the author of 
 much distress to the defenceless inhabitants) many of whom 
 have now one hundred and twenty miles to go to mill, but ia 
 a military point of view, be has done nothing. It is for the peo- 
 ple of the United States to reflect seriously upon this mode of 
 carrying on the war ; and it is yonr interest. Sir, to advise s 
 return to humanity, lest Monticello should share the fate of 
 hundreds of Farms in Upper Canada.

 Aa«th«r item of expenditure require* tbe con»ideralion of 
 this Meeting, natnaly, tbe lum distributed among diatreesed 
 Emigrants. When calls were made upon tlie Treasurer in 
 behalf of these unhappy strangers, there seemed to be a dif. 
 ference of opinion as to the propriety of diverting any part 
 or tbe funds of this Society to their relief. The distress 
 howet'er was so pressing that a majority of Directors con" 
 ■ented thai: some aid roig^*^ ':> tbe tse^-r. time be allowed^ 
 and accordingly it has b' V 'nistered as sparingly^ 
 
 possible, as will appear fron. ^ detailed accpi|n(. 
 
 Although the Treasurer never had any doubt in hit ovrn 
 mind ol the propriety of relieving stiangers from the funds ef 
 this Society? who bad been driven by the pressure of the 
 times from the Mother Country to settle in this Province; 
 yett as such a dolibt was entertained by Members entitled to 
 the greatest consideration and respect, and as his office was 
 entirely ministeiial, be sought for other sources to meet this 
 pew exigency. 
 
 On communicating with the Trustees in Lower Canada, 
 on this subject, to whom i^SOOO had been transmitted by tbe 
 ■nbscribers to tbe funds of the Loyal and Patriotic Society 
 in London, to be distributed, if necessary^ in that Province, it 
 was found that this sura still remained unexpended. The 
 Trusteea declined giving any jrtiop pf it for tbe relief of 
 Emigraote, conceiving it wopld be to alter its first desti* 
 nation, but they bad not tbe same difficulty in respect to tbe 
 interest accruing, and have therefore placed at the disposal 
 of tbe Treasurer, for tbe use of distressed Strangers from the 
 Mother Country, the whole of this interest, amounting to 
 if353 l6t, 7d. 
 
 It IS for the consideration of this Meeting, whether they 
 will he guided by the tame diitaoction in disposing of tbs 
 
417 
 
 bdance still remaining in the hands of the Treasurer. Tbi. 
 »um amounting to ^445 Ss-I^d. is in the fi.at place subject 
 he e,pe.,ee o publishing the Report of the Proceed „gs 
 he Socety, w .ch ha, been long i„ the press, a.d is not 
 very nearly completed.^The amount of this charge has not 
 yet been exactly ascertained. On this account perhaps it 
 maybe suftc.ent for' this meeting to authorize the Treasurer 
 to pay over to the Society, now established for the relief of 
 i-trangers in distress, either the whole or part of the balance 
 «h.ch may remam after the expence of printing and distribu- 
 ting the report shall have been defiayed. 
 
 ^ That the Society may with great propriety adopt this pro- 
 - .ng wm appear evident from the fact, that nea.lyL 
 t^ sand pounds of mt^reathas accrued upon the funds, ^hile 
 n the course of d:3tribution ; so that more money has been aU 
 re dyg.ven to sufferers ^ha„ ba, been contributedbv the 
 
 o ...e half ^f the sa.d.mterest, it cannot therefore be wrong

 It would have been very satisfactory to the Treasurer to
