 ^ll those good old times, Ool. Coffin, and a nutnber of the corrupt tools of office in 
 York, went up to llalton to aid honest 'John'$ own election. Into the truth of these 
 matters his constituents may make timeous enquiry.

 Mr. Haeerman said, it was unnecessary to read the bHh It was intanded to take the I 
 right of inheritance from the elder Son, und diuti-ihute it amnng«t the youngrr. lr| 
 th^ hon. gentleman said the present bill was nut a departure from the Britint) Consti- 
 tution, he, (Mr. H.) would Buy he was ignorant of the constituti«in. (Mr. Rogers said,! 
 across the table, he had not said so.) Mr. H. said, if they passed 'the present bjl!, I 
 they would b^ departing from eVery thii>g venerable, noble, and honorable : he shoufttl 
 be sorry that a bill of so dangerous a tendency Would pa^s'. Democracy was, like a[ 
 lerpent, twisting round us by degrees, it should be crushed in the first mstance ; fori 
 if that bill passed, it would not lea vie them (he British Constitution but a mere shadow,! 
 A division took place — For Mr. Bid^ell's motion, Messrs. Pattie, Jam«s Wilson, Clark, | 
 Randal, Peterson, Casey, Walsh, VanKnughnet, Bidwell. and Rogers. —10. 
 
 Against it, Messrs. Peter Robinson, Bostwick, Burwell, Attorney General, Hager-| 
 man, Baldwin, Wil^not, Baby, Morris, MeMartin, Kerr, Gates, Jones, Chisholm, R. 
 Hamilton, and McDonell, 16. Majority against the motioo,—- 6. 
 
 [So that the usual courtesy was denied Mr. Bidwell, thru' the convincing arguments | 
 of Messrs. Attorney General, Baldwin, and Hagerman ; and his bill was. not even per- 
 mitted to be read. A number of the members, it would appear, not only in this but I 
 in many other divisions, went below the bar.] 
 
 4 Id the assembly, on the lOth Deer. 182S, the OPPOSERS o^ a similar sahilary 
 measure, were Messrs. Gordon, Burwell, Baldwin, Attorney General, Ruttan, Kerr, 
 Jonas Jones, Hagerman, Nichol, McDonell, Robert Hamilton, MeMartin, Archibald] 
 McLean, Morris, Shaver, and Bostwick. 
 
 Ill reply to Mr. John Willsori, who had introduced the measure for an equal divis-l 
 ion, among the family, of the estates of persons dying without wills, Doctor Baldwin, 
 amongst other things, remarked, that ^'the hon.'^ttaover said this bill would improve 
 the condition of the cuuntry^; he would beg leave to delay such a result, and to direct { 
 the attention of the hon. member to the state of England, where under this law agri- 
 culture has highly flourished, where a respectable farmer can give his daughter £ 10,000 ] 
 or £20,000 fortune ; was there any Country more respectable in commercial and a^ 
 gricultural prosperity ? -No Country equalled it — where then was t^ieeyii of the present I 
 law? — Instead of improving the Country it would retard it's improvement; it wouidi 
 lather lessen the value "of real estate and therefore check the spirit of improvement — it| 
 would in a measure tend to convert landed estate into paper currency, as the young «x- 
 pectants of the division tvould anticipate their shares, and waste and squander to spec- 
 ulatoiv hefore they obtained their property." 
 No. t7. . 
 
 Mr. Bidwell, senior's bill for enabling Religious Societies to hold land for parsonages, | 
 burying grptinds, be. 
 
 [Here again Doctor Baldwin's rontrarted spirit manifests itself. He had carried 
 ibroMhe law society act, which ftllows that formidable and dangerous association to 
 hold as much land as they please, and to enjoy lands bequeathed tfl them, without hm- 
 it or restriction as to quantity, and also' to sell land, &c. The doctor's narrow pru- 
 dence alvlrays forsook him when the law or lawyers were in the way, but in order ^ t» 
 
 . guard ttgainat imprwident grants to rdigiotu societies, he wished that not more than 4 
 
 . or 6 acres Diight be allowed to them. 
 ' Mr. Bidwell said, all that was required b3f the billwas ground forta Parsonage, a 
 Church and- burying ground, and as there wa^ no limit to the lands for the accommoda- 
 tion of the Law Society, he had not thqught it necessary to introduce a clause for that 
 purpose into Ibfe present bill. 
 
 ^ P^. Baldwin said thrre was a great difference between this' bill, and the bill regula- 
 tio^.tbe Law Society. — Thatbillwas for supporting the Law Society of this Province, 
 wuicH JSHODLo HOT BE I.IMITED i the present bill was to grant privileges to.Rcligioui 
 So^eUes, of various denominations: and the house should not, by resting them with 
 unlinmed, powers, lay the^ foundation for accumulating property. It was the feeling 
 of fhc public to suppof t Religious Societies, there might be large estates bequeathed to 
 theiBi wit Hiere tpas no danger ofbeqxtttsts being made in favour of the Law Society, yet 
 great danger might ari^e by bequests to Religious Societies.

 Jr C. Jones moved forexpunginlj from the minutet, a certain notice %\ren Ia»t e*

 tke valid ciTUin marriages, already solemnized by methodists. \'j^. 
 
 hlr. C Jones thought a bill of this nature should be supported, and regretted the 
 Ititions had not a more respectable number of signers. Ho objected to one part of 
 ii bill, which went to legalize- marriages solemnized by methodists, aft§r the decw- 
 J against their having that right. SucTi persons wilfully flew m the face of the taws 
 fthecountry, and had a right to suffer for it. ,, .

 lessrs. James Wilson and William Chisholm^ would vote $8000 fof the mission Of 
 le Attorney General, to England; and a fuKher sum hereafter, if found n«c"8ury. 
 f. Chisholm added, that if Mr. RobiosOndid not accept the appointment, he (OWs- 
 llm) would oppose the measure altogether, (see No. 5«.) _, u 4 m 
 
 1110,000 was proposed U> be given Robinson as an outfit to his embassy, but Mr.

 lomey General, to appear as a p.iuper before his majesty. Apptarance—gracerul

 iNo.Sl. BALDWiy^S ^^ COUNT PALATINE." / 
 
 I Perhaps no motion ever made in parliament caused so much merriment, or drew 
 lore ridicule upon its mover, than Doctor Baldwin's motion to make an Indian noble- 
 Ld. A count or earf Palatine ! ! The doctor sUted that he borrowed his plan from 
 le feudal times and that the chief and the warrior, were very similar; tP FIX their 
 itatcB would m^e them exactly alike ! ! « . j , .u o j 
 
 1 " HU first step would-be to authorise the governor to erect the lands of the Orantt 
 jRiver into a kind of county Palatine—to nominate from amongst the chiefs 4 count. 
 iPalatine, and enfeoff him with an adequate estote entailed on him and the heirs male 
 lef his*body— he would also propose like power to the governor to enfeoff the other 
 Ichiefs acknowledged by the six nations, with proportioned estates entailed on them 
 land the hairs •f their bodies, and alao the warriors with proportkmed fee* of land

 This motion. It appears, was thought so chimerical that the bilti|;a8 not even! 
 
 dered to a second reading. ] 
 
 1 can assure Doctor Baldwin that the experiment 6f entailing landed property,! 
 
 IJockiiig itiip FOK EVER, so as that it can neither be bought, sold, nor made M 
 
 » for the honest debts of the proprietor or his hsirs, has, in Scotland been tried for] 
 
 wards Of a century, in virtue «f a Scotch act of 168&. One half of Scotland is, 
 
 this day, entailed lands ; some whole counties are nearly all entailed. ProprietonI 
 
 vast domains entail their lands to their heirs^for ever; and, of late, small propei 
 
 • have been eiitailed also, to prevent them from coming under the grasp of their arijl 
 
 cratic neighbours. If one half of Upper Canada consisted of entailed lands, m 
 
 drawn fur ever from commerce, we should have counts Palatine enough, witbouti 
 
 ding Indian chiefs. . — ^ — -— 
 
 No. 52. PRODIGAL EXPENDITURE IN FA FOUR OF POOR 
 
 MR. ROBINSON. 
 When the Attorney General went to visit "royalty and ministers," as Nichoi I 
 fed it, be had $8000 paid him for his expenses, besides being allowed his emolui 
 f* of office rent, salary, clerk, iiat lees, &c. &,c. But this political shark had not! 
 
 enough; he therefore got his friend the modest Air. Hagerman of Kingston, ial 
 session of 1824, to offer a set of puffing resolutions for bis [Robinson's] bcr^efitj 
 which was added speeches by the firm [Jonas Jones, Hagerman &, Co-] If the] 
 torbey had at that period nearly $80QO by his offices, &,c. he had more than the co 
 try could afford to any nian in his situation, and his emoluments deserve to be im 
 diat^ curtailed, as weirthe 'enormous fees chargeable by lawyersin general in 
 . -priest-ridden, lawyer-riddeh colony. 
 
 y Hr< Hagerman said "that in making Mr. Ro!)in3on, a further remuneration, 
 " ' would recollect, that he was in the receipt of nearly £2000 a year in this country! 
 
 * his profession; that having been a long tinic a burthen on his friends, he was oblif 
 
 * to take a house in England^ at a heavy expense, and that he was at this raon 
 
 * considerably out of pocket by this appointment; and that when they saw the),. 
 'H^ * advantages this province obtained by his exertions, tht;y would nut only make Hirnl 
 
 ^ adequate remuneration, but also, a gfenerous reward fur his faithful services.— 01 
 
 Mr. Jonas Jones said that the objiect of these resolutions was to remunerate L 
 
 Robinson for services to his countnr ; he saw a letter from him in Augu8t,last, when heL 
 
 . , taken a house after living on his friends till he was ashamed to live so longer, andl 
 
 was without the means of supporting himself in England at that time. If he had i 
 
 sufficient means last August, what, he asked, must be his situation at present ? 
 
 [What thorough paced beggars these Kingstoh and Brockville hacks proved tbc 
 selves on this occasion. — Advo.] 
 
 Mr. John Willson admitted that the conduct of Mr. Robinson in gaining the tru 
 bill was valuable. He entertained strong doubts about his being connecteil with I 
 ■^_ clauses of the Union bill, but the hon. member for Kingston had convinced him on f 
 
 8^bjec^ He thought that as our commissioner ivas detained at the request of his I 
 jesty's ministers, in ordet to serve this province, that he shoi^d be remunerated, 
 the house should express their reason for doing so in the resolution for that purp 
 
 [A spoon bill^was never yet lost in assembly by the ill timed integrity and econo

 Ho. 36. BILL TO. ALLOW METHODISTS TO MAmY. kc -Sept. 18! 
 The Attorney General thought the arguments of the hon. member who Spoke It 
 were fallacious, and not applicable to the present question. It was argued by him tb 
 the Roman Catholics acknowledged a foreign head, and yet they we.e aliowed the 
 privileges ; and wore still a, loyal body of people. In answer, he would s.iV that ^ 
 Roman Catholics formed but a small part of the population of this Province and thd 
 preachers were .not aliens, they were for the most part natural born subjects l>ut t; 
 majority of the methodist preachers were aliens, from a foreign land, wilo were^ net 
 educated in the principles of loyalty and attachment to the British Government 
 
 [The Attorney General's opinion in 1823, and in 18i8, may, be seen by comparfal 
 the above with his rephes to the select committee on" the petition of christian^f 
 
 ur. Crooks did not see any injury that could arise to theCountry by allwwine ni

 1 The opinion of Mr. McDonell, of this town* as compared with that of Mr. BurweH. 
 In respect to dueHlng, is highly creditable to the former While Mr. Burwell founl^ 
 It convenient to join the Attorney Ovneral and his band, in abu»iif»gand traducing Mr. 
 midwell, and in justifying their pitiful and vindictive eftbrts to ruin a man every way 
 kheir superior, merely because they felt his superiority of talent, he [Burwell] was rea- 
 dy to smooth over the misconduct of others, in such language as will be found below, 
 low bis old constituents will relish such doctrines we kno^ not. 
 (FromHtron'a Gteatrer, March aoth Mi9^.) 
 Iir. McDonell said, that some hon. members seemed to thi^K it a disgrace to sit along 
 pide the sitting meml)er from Lennox and Addington becausi; Ifc was indicted for mis- 
 Cpplication of public money ; but altho' he was indicted, 4ic was not found guilty by a 
 Ipetty Jury — he, therefore, thought these indictments should not be attended to. There 
 Iwas an hon. member of the Legislative Council, who at tliis moment stood indicted for 
 Ikdeder in' the United States, and it was not thought a disqualification by the mem- 
 Ibers oCthat hon. body. There was an Officer of this House also, who was thed pre- ^ 
 Isent, and had been indicted forBiuRDcn, yet, they thought it no disgrace to sit in com- ^ 
 Ipany witli^him; tijerefo're, he would banish from his mind, all transactions as to moral / 
 leharacter, which took place in the United States. \, , . / 
 
 I Mr* Burwell w^hed to knuVr>frQm the hon. member (Vom Gicngarrjr, whose opmion 
 Ibe always respected, if he meant to compare the situatioa of the sitting member with 
 luie indictments found against the hon. gentlemen alluded to, or if he meant to attach 
 ■the crime of MURDER to these gjentlemen, who were challeiiged, and killed their pppQ-< 
 Inents in a /air duel ? , " ■

 to the FameraH / vfc^ 
 
 fiBut sons 01 miscniei, wir, ana^uue, are aiiigaiors o( ihc i^iie — i^oiion. 
 By a reference to the 38th clause of the lat chapter of the Statutes passed in Jahu- 
 lary 1822, it will be found, that O"* the act for reguhitibg the practice of the Court of 
 I King's Biteeh in Upper Canadaj in civil suits, before Ihc highest tribunal in the Colony, 
 Ithe allowance of costs to either party; that is, to ;lie attornics of cither party, shall be 
 I regulated by' the laws and usages of E^ngland^-a country where living is infinitely 
 [more expensive than in this provinct^ And in ttie iiitii clause of the Same infamous 
 |act,the Judges of the king's bench f themselves the breath of those who raise them to' 
 ■that distinction^ are empowered to allow the ofiicers of the court such fees both in cri- 
 liriiDal and civil cases as thpj may think fit. They arc: aliio authorised to alter and amend 
 Ithe table of fees Clrom time to time, at their uncontrotiled'diacretion,) payable to attornies, 
 Iclerks of the crown, sherifls, counsel, ofiicers, aud othei\person^. Good (Sod! what 
 lignorant, interested, and unfeeling men they must have been, who could haVe'allow- 
 jed th« lawyers, thus at will, to riot on the poverty, misery, and distress^ of Upper 
 klaaada. It costs a man ten titties the timfe, trouble, and cdsts, to get through a law- 
 Is^ here, in common cases of $100 and under, to what it does in the United States, 
 laod all this owing to the ignorance, folly, or cupidity of the pei^ple's representatives. 
 ■No great wonder the country swarms with petty village brawlcraxpf barristers and at- 
 |iOroie^-No wonder the Gore District can now maintain eight or ten of thim in splen- 
 Idour; while. in my memory, a few years aiib, there was only one! IK One suit a piece, 
 Iwith the present fees, would keep an ordiinrily expensive family in SMbsistence for a 
 Itirelremonth :-'-^but— if providence spares my health, I'll do my endeavour to thin their 
 ranks, by suggesting mtafltkres to lessen their foften^ ill-WQn gains ; and the carrion b«- 
 ioggone, the legal vultures will very soon fly off. In favor of this t^ly infamous

 to Mr. Small's farm in culling Upwn trees-.-which Post refused to pay. fh^ case ac- 
 cordindy went thro' the ^lopij.rt'-bov of the York law-mill again, and Mr. James E. 
 Small's bill of costs, (against poor Post) had swcIUmI up to the astounding sum of lie- 
 tween two and three hundred dollars, upon the JCS.— It is not tff consequence now to 
 enquire whether >lr. Post was fight or wrong in n^fusing to pay the XS verdict. The 
 law ouehl to have protected him even from his own ighorance, so as that no attorney 
 could have turned so small a claim intoajoh of this nature- The present tobte of fea

 ^"^S^lawyers in the Honso of' Assembly, in my opinion, lay their heads together, noil 
 tn make laws which ?ha!l be clear and distinct, and such as will answer the purpose M 
 wWchthevwere designed, but rather to make statutes, like those about the Kinfstonl 
 Baik, which have never been good for any other purpose than to put money into thel 
 
 '*1?r«"worthvof remark, that in the very next chapter of the statutes of the samel 
 •lesion in an act for regulating the practice of the inferior or district courts, parliamenlT 
 minutelV regulated the fees by statute, while in the supreme court they left the^fees iJ 
 Z hands of crown appointed iudges, who made the first uae.eff thelf authority to takd 
 Ml^oiVt £500 a vcar from Mr. Small and add it to the fees of the croWn lawyers. I 
 
 In 18«4 too.Mr. Archibald McLean, one of the legal leeches from Stormont, nio 
 ved"--not that the asse^ibly should establish a table of fees in Jhe Courts of Probati 
 and Surrogate, but (as a rider to a bill) that the king's bench judges might do so ani 
 ' alter said fees at their pleasure ! Robinson had, no doubt n^ade a catspaw of him t^

 uaea without IfHive of 'heaaafmbly, Uil roduct-il on the <(3r.) Murcti, 10^5, aecunded by 
 ^'apt. John MHtlhewi, u motion "that it he reiulvud, thiit tlie applying nny huui of

 Here, hoiv^ver, cop option bad luken too deep root, and tlit^enat part of the al- 
 sembly were now bringing forth those budit of sycophancy, which afterwards blossitm- 
 «d into downright courlierHhip. 
 
 The bad voles on the above motion, su«*ceeded in opoosing it, and were as follows: 
 Messrs. Charles Jonea. Walsh, Ingeratil. Clurk, York Thoinpson, Atkinson, Atlorne7_ 
 General, Btasley, tJorduu, D. Jones, McDonald, MrDonell, McLeHO^. Morria, ^'Iny.

 unfolded itself, and induced me, as a gwid sultject of Great Britain, to enter the lists 
 of unqualified opposition, and 1 Irust tlj^rmy private and pulilic exertions in the hon-

 In reading the black book, the electors musit not suppose, if they do not perceive 
 the name of their representative among the had votes, that, as a aiatter of course, he 
 voted right. Thi^by no means f«tllovvs: On many occasions, members, to avoid dis- 
 pleasing the government, or lessening their own popularity, have staid away from a de- 
 Date f 9r, at the division, left their seats and stept belu«v the bar or out of the House. 
 Very ihany members were, last parliament, irregularand uncertain in their attendance; 
 aod conse(|uently delayed the business of the country, aud added to the burthens of 
 tlMr constituents.

 1st session of 9ih parliament, p. 64.

 Jane Jordttn, nnd John Hava, each pay, umhir th«« aam»« act of parliament, £ 10 each ! ! 
 Is this ftir? U It Just aitf expedient, to allow th<' flr:»t and foremost houset in Am- 
 herstbiir^h. S.indwich, iloH. fcp. be. to ^et off for gU, while their brrtbren OD 
 Yonjje 8troet, nnd in Vork are obliged to pay 1 10 t Arenoithesf* {ustirea whncharge« 
 t<i all alike. £S, in the Western districts very well aware th.it they have the power 
 to levy £11 instead thereof ? And is not this pirtfd i idul^ence pUring the lnn<<«eper» 
 greatly in their power 7 It woul I apjiear as if the act of parliament was actually mad* 
 tut of to link a very influential class of men to tha wheels of the executive, and its 
 dependents. 
 
 In Vork, the maximum or hi|;hest rate charged, is 10, in Cornwall f. Sandwich 8, 
 in the Ottawa 4, Kingston 9, Niagara town 8, Hrockville, and PrescottTi, Cobaurij, 
 and Port Hope 7. Vittoria, and St. Thomas 4, Sandwich, and Amherstburgh 9, llani> 
 iltnn (Oore) 5, Dundas «, and Aniaater 74 pounds. Is this scale fairly gruduiited I 
 
 William Forsyth's pavilion at the FmIIh, and A. iVfontgoihery's house on Konge St., 
 (the one doing perhaps one twentieth of the business of the other) pay alike ; and Joh» 
 Hay, and Joseph Bloor, in York, have paid higher for license than the owners of 
 the most spacious hotels in Kingston, or Port George ! ! Look at the charges, and 
 look at the system ; 'tis a base one. ' 
 
 By the present system of district taxes, under the control of a body of men appoint^ 
 fd during the pleasure of the crown, a revenue of perhaps, from S50,000 to |80,000 
 per annum is placed at the dmpnsal of the minions of a colonial government, instead 
 of being undter the salutary control of the representatives of the people. No wonder 
 it is that oi^ iegialuture is despised by the hecks of office, when it is known, thut out 
 4»f an annual revenue, in all equal to |4(i0,000, only a little over a cnupl^ of thousaqd 
 l^ounds was required to be vo,ted, last March, by the cumpnons in parliament ! ! 
 
 On examining the journals of 1821, I find that Mr. Soeaker Willson (magistrate & 
 excise oA!c<^r)brought in a bill to continue this injudicious apportioning power in the bands 
 of the magistrates, but that after it had passed the asnernbly, nem. con. some flaw was 
 found in it up stairs, and the Attorney General, seconded by Peter Shavtr, brought in,, 
 on the last day biit one of the session, the bill which appears on the statute book ; and, 
 according to the^inconstitutional system still cnntinu4'd, carried it thro* parliament ths^ 
 same day, none dissenting. I also perceive that in l(l£4 the act was continued for four 
 years, with alterations, and tliat it, taith seteral other important statutts, would have 
 expired had the last session been called three days later * ' Such are the expedients re- 
 torted to by a colonial government. 1 trust the mnkeepers who have paid high licences 
 Mil read this chapter with attention, as well as the public. The remedy is ia the oext 
 , assembly, for the act expires with the cIosk of their 1st session.

 Mr. Gordon appears lo havealipt outNif the Hou-te during the pissage of the 7th 
 and flth re<<olutioii<4, which went to state that tbeae pemons had continually held offi- 
 ces ofhontrur, iriist and profit, hadlield and conveyed landi*, bad sat in all the pro* 
 vinciai asnemblie^v |pV)d sft^vVd in war. ap.l that a very large proportion uf the lands of 
 the province waal^iifn held bjf^them; as aUo, that they fought g.dlantiy d<irini( tjie 
 Wi«r, and were not (inngHrotis persons in tlie province (aw same pa^esof the JikU iials). 
 Messrs. Attorney General. Burke, Vnnkoughnet,. Canieron, Crysler, Jones, 1, S, 9, 
 McDoTtell. and Morris, a' tually voted againitt the above 7tb and ftlb resolutions, hold* 
 inK. of course, a different opinion. 
 
 The Bime 10. with iMr. Gor.lim, who had slipt back into his place, voted AOAIMST 
 the 9th It 10th resobitioos, which set forth tbut as these Anglo-Americans had be- 
 come connected with the other inhnbitaiiU, by all the ties of social and domestic life, 
 and had contributed to the tranquility and welfare-, and the security and defence of 
 the province, it would excitA great alarm and diysiitisfnctiop in the country if the usu- 
 al construction uf the law were altered with respect t4» thehi, and teml lo destroy 
 confidenre in the ser.urity of civil rights ; and that, under all the rtrcumatances, it 
 would be an unpnralleled violation of honour and good faith in His Majesty's gnvero- 
 ment to construe the law, so as that these persons (invited to return among us by Bri- 
 tish acts, and encouragements, and protlamaliotos) should now he considered and deaK 
 with as aliens. Fortheother votes, see Journals, Session 1829-6. pages 50, 51, 52,Si.&9.

 It can be i-roved (leeCol. Advo. Jan'y l«th 18M) that one day in the honne Irt sea- 
 rion 18ta • ua ihe meinhMra were aeparatlng, Jonaa Jones. called lloclor Leff.rly (who 
 
 U a worthy and upright memlier, of reapectable Irl«h deaceni) <*a da-mn--d bl-rk-

 l^talMo. which hat iMjtrn puMirlv chnrged againit Jonai but netror contradicted. 
 
 Jooaanneday openly accused Ilugh C. Thornton and George Hamlllon. with go- 
 ioi home to Iheir respective niacea of residence, without reporting theinaelves to tb« 
 
 ! house, in «»rder that they mightget their wagMin their absence. u i . 
 
 On the 8th December, 1 Bi9, Jonas moved a remarkable amendment to the reply t* 
 
 1 the Lt. Governor's speech, iniiking the house say that it fell much satisfaction at lb* 
 "unequivocal proofli of a suhMUntial and leRularly progressive, advancement throughout 
 "lhi» colony, ti he attributed in a great deicree to thefoaUung care of the promncial gOr 
 "urrnBMnl, as happily administered under his excellency."' 
 
 Bad and corrupt as the aasembiy are said to have been, they would not awallow this, 
 ■nd Jonas was left in a minority consistini; only of York Thompson, Scollick, Walker* 
 Attornev General, the other 2 Joneses, Ingeraol, Burnham, Cameron, and Cuiemaa. 
 Ytirk 1*iiompson was Jones's tnder. , 
 
 In my paper of next week I plainly told the house and the country, that I perceive^ 
 a falling off ill the integrity of the independent party. Clark, Beaslfiy, MeBridji.. an* 
 Ineersol, proved the correctness of my statement, for as to Morns (except on Clergy 
 Reserves to please the Scotch of Perth) Coleman, and Walsh, they never had any In^ 
 dependence to lose, being merely creeping seekers of fav«»r from men in olHce; and I 
 think it f» a scandal tothe judgment of Perth that Morris has been so often sent here, 
 lathe same paper (Dec. 14.) I gave notice of the publication of the Black List, and 
 warned the poor spirited among the members that I would sum up their accounts alth% 
 close of the farce, cost what it woiild. I am now doing so, and 1 hope not in vam.

 Ifauncnt, altho* said nephew iras th*n •• a s.tudent at law, and acted aselerk to his mas.) 
 ter (Dr. Bnklwin himsetO. »tte»dk>g to his ownprlirate business." Old John WHIsob 
 wiHiqgiy gsve in to thK request of his old frirnd, and the doctor's student had the job... 
 SpeakinK of Baldwin, Carey, in his Obee^rver obsenras •* Where ulf was concerned, 
 <ba was always vigilant, always active. When he possessed,' but i 
 
 Ibw acres of land, be advocated the justice of the bill for the assessment and sale o(l 
 wild land, f for |be purpose of making and improving the roads) when begot possessioo, 
 by the death of Miss Riisselof &1000 acres, he termed the very net that he had advo. 
 cated, arbitrary, oppressive and U8uri«ius !"— Carey was aa eye-witness to "the good 
 old tiiaes," and having taken some dislike to Doctor Baldwin, out came the rollowioj 
 (acts— which my readers may know more of than myself. I 
 
 The doctor was one of the conimittee who reported and advocated the extraordinary 
 militia bill, authorising 12 days' training during profound peace, and empowering th« 
 doctor himself [as a militia colonel] to commit t^» prinon, without trial, for 48 hours, 
 all non-«omro»esiooed officers and privates, guilty, m his opinic^n, of disobedience of or- 
 ders! But, when he found public opinion excited against the measure, he withdrew 
 from tibe house on its final passage, altho' requested to remain and vote against it ! 
 
 Mr. Peterson moved to throw it out — Dr. Baldwin opposed the motion ! Gasey*! | 
 
 f" 
 
 «" 
 
 ite measure of Doctor Baldwin, those compelled to' serve in flank Companies, were sub 
 jected to great loss of t^me, and trouble and expense, 
 
 In March 1816, when ftfr. McDonell introduced into the asFembly the petition a- 
 
 fainsi what has been called the Orange association, he remarked that the proceedings 
 
 fit the Orangemen were calculated to distuiU the public pe^ce, and insult persons jrf 
 
 i ^,|he Roman Catholic religi»5";artd he moved that Lawyers Hagerman and Bddwia 
 
 ■^ jl^bt be appointed a committee to consider said petition. Doctor Baldwin said he 
 
 * <^ld mjt decline accepting the trust reposed in him by Mr. McDonell, altho' he himi 
 
 ieif Wli • member uf the united church of England and Ireland, and hoped his off* 
 
 spring, in Whom he hud inculcated the principles of the established church, would eon. 
 
 ^ luiue worthy members of it."— [As a matter of course when the late dii&culties aroSf 
 
 ^respecting the Allen Question and the Strachanic University the doctor holding very 
 
 different sentiments from the great mass of the people, left them t«^ shift for themselves 
 
 .. and perceiving that his opinions did not and could not coincide with theirsriw, with 
 
 ,S% 'tailinly candour, sometime ago, published in the Freeman an address to the' free- 
 ^lK>id«rs of the ceUnty of York, absolutely declinVig to cpme fi^fwurd as a candidate.— 
 t <iri»b the freeholders throughout Upper Canada would keep in mind that many other 
 persons who, like the doctor, l-emained ia the back grouud during the ahen and reli- 
 gious.difficulties, are nevertheless now shoving themselves forward in the several towns 
 and counties, as candidates for the suffrages of a people whose wishes and desires they 
 .*<iever will and never can represent.] 
 i'o. 104. NIAGARA DISTRICT CANDIDATES. 
 
 It Utoks squally in LincolriHMessrs. William Crooks, John Clark, and George A- 
 dams, are said to have united their stocks— hut we trust they will meet a signal defeat. 
 Samuel Street, Thomas Clai^k, George A. Ball, William Crooks, and (we think) 
 George Adams also— joined an^ led the terrible persecution which arose out of the 
 protest signed by ihem againstVhe validity of Mr. Randal's election. It vrould be 
 paving Mr. Randaj a poor compliment if the district were to associate with him either 
 Crooks, Ball, Adams, or Clark. \Those who have read Gourlay's work on Canada 
 will remember that in Mr. Wm. Crooks's report of Grimsby, he^ undervalues all other 
 denominations of Christians whileW puffs the church of England to the very clouds. 
 " The Methodists, Baptists, &c. would do well to look to Mr. Crooks's, recorded opip* 
 ions in Gourlay's work, about " the all devouring wolf," before they trnst him in par- 
 liament :--as to Messrs. Clark and Adams, they are fonvls of the same feather. In 
 favor of the annoying and roost injudicious petition of Crooks, Ball, Clark, Street, 
 
 « 
 
 .and their associates against Mr. Kandal/the victim of their m*****, voted lo the a>'
