If 1 believed in the liberal dispositions of the men who passed the Act of Union of the Canailns, 1 might be tempted to accede to your wish that I should re-enter public life, in spite of the fatigues, the disgusts, the persecutions that all the representatives who have defended with integrity your rif,'hts, and your inter- ests have cxpurieaced, because then 1 should admit that they would permit the Provincial Parliament to become a Legislature in conformity with your wishes, in conformity with the jjreat voice of the ma- jority, and that the prospect ol being able to aid in doing good to the dear country of our birth, would outweigh the reluctance which every man must have who has no other ambition than the public good, in assuming the moral responsibility which weighs upon those colonial representatives who, with in- fluence to make their opinions felt, love the country o{ their birth or aoiitiuii poitiblc, within the liiuita ortlie Itw.

Lawrence, 1 wish for them, and will sustain them, with all my power. A (liscii)lo of tho school of Adam Smith from my earliest youth — and at all times the enemy of every political or commercial monopoly or ]irivilegc, I do ikjI desire that any in- dustry, or any class of citizens should be surcharged, for tho profit of other classes and other industries. Tho imposts ought to bo the minimum of that which it is necessary to receive from each citizen in pro- portion to his fortune and his expenditure, in order to provide for the just expenses of an economical and well managed government. Constitutional Reforms. I have spoken of constitutional reforms with more of detail and ardour than of material improvements, because they are of a higher order — because it is necessary to have free institutions, whiI calculated to protect the property of each individual, in order to make all love that labour which renders nations more moral and more rich, and gives them tho means of multiplying their material improvement, as is proved by their prodigiously rapid develope- ment amongst our active and industrious neighbours — lastly, because others do not speak to you enough about them ; because, also, material improvements belong to the order of the day, for there is no diiier- onco as to their powerful etlicacy in promoting the well-being of those socities which facilitate them. J7ie Schoolmaster for All. Lastly, I will conclude by communicating with you, on a subject, which in importance yields to none of those already treated of — that of popular education, and of the most general character, which may be pos- sible. In the advanced state oi modern civilization, the priest, the judge, and the schoolmaster, are the functionaries who contribute the best, the roost, and at the least expense, to the maintenance of order in society, which, day by day, in proportion as instruc- tion is extended, is more easy to be governed by reason, more diillcult to be governed by brutal and armed force. Tho more you pay scl^oolmasters, the less you pay policemen and soldiers, and in the civil service of tne state you will have more enlightened functionaries, at least cost, in proportion to the in- creasd number whom education will qualify. Com- petition will reduce salaries. Cheap Government can only be had where there arc plenty of good Bchool- VOTE ON THE UNION. 38 masters.

Then we have clerks for all conceivable purposes, and for no purpose at all ; the annual record of merely their useless names and incomes, with the few that toil usefully among the idle, makes a volume annually like a house bible. The Inspector- General has an auditor (a mere clerk), at $3,000, and a com missioner (Bouchettc), at $2,500; and the $5,000 French head cf the Board of Works, has an English deputy-assistant (Killaly) who does the work, so far as any is done— at $n,000 a year, and $900 more, besides '• advontages," with Mr. Thomas Begley as clerk or secretary at $2,000, and $500 more, who had to,get an extra clerk to try to make his accounts balance, and hard work that was. JLower Canada Liight UouMea. Although we have a Board of Works, with a staff of officiai.s of no common magnitude, and spent in 1854, $700,000 in Lower Canada Light Houses, our bad, corrupt government has setup another sinff of officials to do the work of our Board of Works in Lower Canada, under the cant nnme of Trinity Houses, and an old knave named F. Baby, in whose nnme larce sums have been drawn from the public as Lower Canada jobs and sham contracts, I speak advisedly, had bis £1,000 claim for services rendered Trinity House in 18.54. That year, £21,500 were paid to the Montreal and Quebec Trinity Houses for light money to Lower Canada, three-fourths of which, or about $0'5,000 was drawn from Upper Cana- dian pockets.

In their proposed answer to 8ir B. Head's spooob, they said nothing about representation by population, bat pri- vately pledged themselves to the French Cana- dians to oppose it. On the 12th of May, 18j5, Mr. Brown, seconded by Mr. Hartman, moved to introduce the prin- ciple of representation by population as the l>asis of an elective council. Sir Allan Macnab, how- ever, prevented a votu. On which, Mr. Mackeii zie proposed the same thing, with some change of form, and the yeas were 19, every Lower Ca- nada member voting nay. The nays were HG. This was near the end of last Session. Louis Joseph Fapineau made tlio same propo- sition in Assembly, in amendment to Lord Elgin's speech of 1849 and the French deserted him, tho' by far their ablest leader, because he desired to be just. Again, in 1850, it was moved, in oimend- ment, and lost. Mr. Hillyard Cameron voted for it in those days.

SIR ALLAN'8 STEADY LOYALTY. The following is a selection from Sir A. Macnab'a speech in Assembly, Montreal, Feb. 13, 1849, immediatetly before the burnings, riots, and annexation movement : He {Sir Allan,) did not make the statement rashly : he knew the people of Upper Canada as well as any man : and he would tell them that there was an opinion gaining ground rapidly in Up- per Canada, that by the truckling of their representatives, they were j/laced under the dominion of French Mas. TERS._ They were convinced of that fact from the submission of the Upper Cana- dian Reformers in the House to French Influence, when that influence was adverse to the interests of the people they were sent to represent. It so happened that the Union had completely failed in its object. It had been intended for the purpose of reducing the Lower Cana- dians to the domination of the British Canadians (hear, hear,) and the very contrary ^ect had been brought about. * * That party (Upper Canada) whom it was intended to benefit were re- duced to be SERFS OF THE OTHER. « He (Sir Allan AlaoNab) warned the min< iolry ^(Messrs.

IFrom the American Archives, Vol. 6, p. 927 to 929.] General Washington to General Sullivan : — Nkw YoiiK, June IC, 1776.— I t'ust you will take every step in your power to conciliate and secure their (ihe Canadians') friendship. If this can be efFt'cted — and of which you seem to have no doubt — I see no objection to our indulging a hope that this country (Canada), of such importance in the present controversy, may yet be addei], (o, and complete our Union. I confess this interesting work is now more diflicult than it would have been heretofore, had matters been properly conducted ; but yet I Hat- tei myself it may be accomplished by a wise, prudent, and animated behaviour in the officers and men engaged in it, especially if assisted by the friendly disposition of the inhabitants. I think every mark of favor and friendship should be shown thorn, to encourage their zeal and attachment to our cause, and from which, if tlicy once heartily embark, we shall derive iiuiumer- abie benefits. General Washington's P. S. to the above letter is as foUowcth : — " P. S. — Knowing your great zeal for the cause of your country and desire to render her every possible service, I must caution you not to put too much to the liazard in your exertions to establish her rights, and to receive, with a proper degree of caution, the professions the Canadians may make; they have the character of an ingenious, artful PEOPLE, AND VEHY CAPABLE OF FINESSE AND CUNNING. Therefore, my advice is, that you put not too much in their power, but seem to trust them, rather than do it too far. I would also have you to keep all your posts, as you go, well secur- ed, to guard, against any treacherous conduct" — page 929. CLERGY RESERVES & SEIGIIORIES. A debate of great length on the question of en- dorsing the corrupt bargain with French Catholic Bishops and Seigniors, that the French would per- mit government to pass a bill giving to the Churches of P-ngland, Rome and Scotland the bonds of this province, entailing an additional public debt, with interest, of one and a half millions of dollars, upon us colonists, wherewith to build up and forever endow certain favorite sects at the expense of a whole peo- ple, on condition that the colonial office and British governor here, would plunder the public chest of Canada of a million-eight hundred thousand dollars, and hand tho specie over to a band of covetous landlords in Lower Canada— came to an end last Monday, after midnight — and £381,000, given to the priesthood in the form of bonds, and X312,000 to be given to the counties, thus adding £693,000 to our actual debt, is declared to be prudent legislation! Mr. Brown moved to expunge from the reply to Sir E. Head's speech, in paragraph third, these words : " This House concurs in the satisfaction " expressed by bis Excellency at the settlement of " the disputed question of the Clergy Reserves " and to inbstitute for them — SEIGNIORS, PRIESTS, PLUNDER. [54 •' It would have afforded this House sincere grati- fication had we been enabled to congratulate his Excellency on the final and equitable settlement of the long disputed question of tlio Clergy Reserves ; but it is our duty to state that the Act oflast Session has not effected the avowed object for which it was framed — the discontinuance of church endowments — but, on the contrary, has permanently endowed cer- tain favored churches with large sums of the public money." For Mr. Brown's amendment, which he and others ably supported in argument, the yeas were 33, viz: — Aikins, Biggar, Bouraasa, Brown, Bureau, Christie, Daoust (Beauharnois,) Darche, Dorion and Dorion, Pergusson, Ferrie, Flint, Foley, Frazer, Freeman, Gait, Gould, Holton, Jobin, Laberge, Macdonald (Glengarry), McDonald ^Cornwall/ Mackenzie, Mattice, Munro, Papin, Prevost, Scatchard, Valois, Wilson, Wright, Young only eleven French- Canadian yeas, while thirty-two French and Irish papists went in the negative, and made seventy-two in all for endowingrichly Scots and English Churches, although their chief priest here, the Jesuit Charbon- nel proclaims that they'll be damned if they enter the doors of these very churches I The Upper Canadians elected as Reformers, who voted against Mr. Brown's amendment, and to endorse the corrupt compact were Bell, Church, Conger, Cook (Oxford), Daly, Jackson, Macbeth, McCann, Matheson, Joseph and Angus Morrison, Niies, Patrick, Ran- k'n, Roblin, Ross, Sydney and James Smith, South- wick.

Toronto, Feb 29, 1856. Monsieur Faribault. A dapper little gentleman, in a loose black robe, sat for many a month beside the clerk's table of the Legislative Assembly of Canada, at $2,200 a year, as an assistant. He was courteous, pleasant, and rich. He wanted to visit la belle France ; and in 1831 or '2, the Government gave him £2,000 to buy a few books in Paris i paid $400 extra to another clerk to do his business at the table ; he stopt away about four months ; charged $2,000 for cxj)enses — got the money; demanded his $2,200 salary as if he had been in Quebec — got the money ; asked a gratuity of an additional $1,000 — pocketced the cash ; said the times were hard — very hard — and got $550 more, as 25 per cent, on a salary he had not earned. Did he rest content with his plunder? VeiT- far from it. He had French friends m office, and being in capital health, said he would take a $1,600 yearly pension for the remainder of his life. The Governor recommended it, and therefore our exclerk assistant gets $1,600 a year for doing nothing — while another Frenchman, who for many years cleared $3,000 per annum, as potash inspcctor« gets a pension of $1,600 a year, out of tho ashes inspected, and others are also paid out of the ashes for doing his work. These are specimens of the effects of a pretended Union with Lower Canada. ER.

These regulations shall take effect on the first day of June next. ♦ Public Expenditure fiatimatoa. It would not do, under the American form of govern- ment, to make the legislature the mere register of; the edicts of the Executive branch of the Govern- ment. It is the business, the duty, of Congress, to study, to understand, to comprehend the necessities! of the country, as set forth in the estimates ; to vote, for them, if they are right, and to refuse tliem, if they are wrong. Hero, on the contrary, the money is oftenj expended, corruptly, too, before general elections, without any legislative vote at all. In the United: Btates, not a collar can be taken from the Treasury by the President, except by the appropriation of the two Hoiise.s of Congress ; and whatever appropriations are voted by Congress, Congress, is rrspon:?ible for them. Here.justwhatastranger.paidby usandcalled governor, tho' the agent of a creditor nation, dictates when and how we sha'l expend our own money. What are estimates ? They are nothing but guesses, at best. They are the judgment of men, founded npon DUiiHAM ON REPRESENTATION. [58 the past history of their Government and upon its past expenditure ; of what is tohappen hereafter, and what is to be the cost of it. Upon this past history, presuming the future will be as the past has been, thev make their estimates of tho future expenditure of the Government a year and seven or eight months before all those expenditures are to occur, while in Canada the Legislature was .pot summoned till June, 1854 ; immcdifitcly kicked out of doorH, and out ot existence ; and, in December, a fraction of the Assem- bly were ordered to endorse all the expenditarei ot the past year, having never voted them at all ! Representation According to Population. Lord Durham's report, as laid before Parlia- ment by Queen Victoria, llth of February, 1839, contains the true theory of the basis of Union, if it is to be continued be woen the Canadas, even in name. Lord D. said, — page 116, '• As the mere amalgamation of the Houses of Assembly of the two Provinces would not be ad- visable, or give at ail a due share of representation to each, a Parliamentary Commission should be appointed, for the purpose of forming the electoral divisions, and determining the number of mem- bers to be returned on the principle of giving representation, as near us may be, in proportion to population, I am averse to every plan that has been proposed for giving an equal number of members to tlie two Provinces, in order to attain the temporary end of out-numbering the French, because I think the came object will be obtained without any violation of the principles of repre- sentation, and without any such appearance of injustice in the scheme as would set public opin- ion, both in England and America, strongly against it; and because, when emigration shall have increased the English population in the Upper Province, tlie adoption of such a principle would operate to defeat the very purpose it is intended to serve. It appears to nie that any such electoral arrangement, founded on the pre- sent provincial divisions, would tend to defeat the purposes of union, and perpetuate the idea of disunion." The staple article of export from Canada is Wheat. Over a million of people in Upper Canada produced a crop of 12,692,852 bushels in lool, on 782,115 acres. Under a million people in Lower Canada sowed same year 427,1 1 1 acres, and the product was 3,075,868 bushels, chiefly of an inferior quality to that of Upper Canada. L. C. requires to import heavily of flour for domestic use — U. C. exports millions of bushels, im- porting large quantities of taxable goods. m i Land and Timber Revxnue. — Mr. Spragge of the Crown Lauds reported some time since to a committee of the Legislature, that the returns for sules in Lower Canada for 18.54 were £9,000, and the expense £4,700 ; while the sales in Up- per Canada were £174,000, and liie exjiense less than in Lower Canada, Is not the Union a very bad bargain for us !

Our taxes, about 15 cents on the dol- lar, are hard tobear, but it is the longer the worse.

DiSTRESJis or LowKR Canada. — In May, 185.5 Mr. Drummond gave in Assembly, a very melancholy account of Lower Canada ; its farmers had no w heat to sell, no flour except what they imported in many places, and no money to buy seed wheat— the seigniors, lawyers, notaries, and priests had left them pennyless.

"If you desiro to reduce the number of places, pensions, and unnecessary (dtlces held by the uristo oracy," suid Joseph Huiru; to John Daviilsoii, of Aberdeen, "canonysam man think that the elec- tion of so many scions ol tlie arialoeracy to the Hmise of Commons is the way to lessen these evils?" I can see no clb( k but in a free convention nnd con- stitution, through twdthird votes where proper, elective governors, real quorums, and a ridduiiee of olliiuals who never try to act uprightly. Every Upper Canada Judge who gets lazy is eiiti- tled to UJ paid for doing nothing, after a brief torn). Macaulay, in perfect lienltli, recently made way for Draper, and pockets $3,000 to ,« 1,000 a year for life, doing nothing, wliilo another is paid «5,000 for (!oiiig his easy work. Shouldn't the Legislature judge, and the law fix the allowanco, if any ? " No," said Cay- ley — "the Crown decides." Faribault's Sl,600 pen- sion, and the potash man's, Montreal, $1,600 pen- sion, I have noticed. Turcotte's " .Solicitor-Ueneral" all'air was merely a pension, and Henry Smith nnd Dunbar Ross are pentiioned or retained at $3,000 a year each, to vote us directed by Sir Kdmund or his Fnglish employers. The people have no pen- sions to give. She[)ard McOirmick went on board tho Caroline ot an American wharf— nobody troubled him — he got a pension for many years — now he's dead, and his wealthy widow in Kngland, gets a pension! Doctor Winder was one of tlu; librarians of the Assembly. Why didn't ho continue? Bo- causo Lnngton (always liberal with other people's cash) moved in Assembly, May 29, 1855, to vote him $800 a year for lifi; as a ])ensiou — so we pay another for working and him for going about idle. What is the million to Strachan & (!o.,but so many jiensions? Wcowed them nothing. A Colonel Antrobus — like Irving and Retallack — was a sort of ornament at court on levee days, and for many years got a pension of $1,600 a year, without any merit.

It is also proposed to pension 700 old pensioiitrs sent out by Board of Ordnance. Sir J. Colborne got an English pension for his own, his son's, and his son's son's lives of $10,000 a year, and a peerage, for his miscondu'Jt in (Canada, after being dismissed from Toronto tor incapacity as a civil magistrate ; but he hanged the French (Canadians without law or miM'cy. 113ot the British Ari.stocra cy consume iiidO.OOO a year of pension. » How Tu PAY L.C.

C. — not the pri- vate estates of individuals but the overplus wealth of an enormously rich church, which meddles with the clorgy reserves, meddles with edui'ation, is cpnstant- ly thwarting Uj)per Canadians, and intriguiiig against public libel ly.

Every day almost new olH- cers were thrust into the Customs, insomuch that the increase in cost of collecting duties only in 1854 was $31,y06. To speak of frugal expenditure in the leg islature only brings contempt and obloquy upo.. a man. A Custom House was built at Toronto— a plain common otlice — at a cost of two or three thousand pounds. We have built one at Uuebcc at four times that cost — and one of our last proceedings was to vote sixty thousanil dollars, in part, ibr a new Custom House there — yetthe money received during the two last fiscal years at Uuebcc for customs duties was only $1,230,372, while at Toronto it was $1,314,400— the expense of collecting the lesser sum at Uuebec, being $51,304, for salaries, altho' only $20,y04 were paid to the otlioers who brought the larger sum into the treasury from Toronto. The salaries at the Uue- bcc (Custom House were raised fr(mi £5,728, in 1853, to £7,113, in 1854— ditlerenco £1385. The salaries at Toronto were only raised from £2449, in 1853, to £2777 in 1804,— ditlerence £328. We have enough of French rule. I remember Hamilton when it contained Abraham K, Smith's store, and no other — a two horse waggon would have carried oil all his stock. In 1804, Ham- ilton paid £169,122 of revenue to government, the cost of collection being £2,597. Brantford paid £13,730, at a co.it of £225. Bytown £9,222 ; cost £215 — total £192,174, collected at an expense of £3,03T. Not so in Lower Canada. Stanstead paid in £1419, ilcducting £535 for collecting it. St. John's (■ollecte)l are clipped for trouble of collecting and disbursements, and on hundreds of thousands of dol- lars of " the fund " Canada is j aying interest to the Jesuits ! Not one Lower Canada member will allow the slightest change to bo made in this vile scheme. IMEontreal Fire Loan. A fire burnt down part of Montreal in lb52. The corporation had been very careless, or the tire might have been put down with ease at its commencement. The next move was to try to borrow on the endorse- ment of Canada ; that succeeded in 1853 — ®800,OUO were by statute allowed to be borrowed, and I think that $400,000 of that sum were got from the usurious London association who borrow there at 3 and lend here at 8 per cent. In this case they may have lent at six. The original proposition held each property for the special loan, but Monsieur Lafontaine, Mon- sieur .Morin, and Mr. Ilincks dissolved that part of the scheme. Ilincks's bill proviiled that if enough of suf- ferers by tlie fire did not come forward, non-sufferers might take the residue. Why should Canada as a province endorse for Montreal in case of tire any more than for Toronto ? Ten to one but our lazy neighbors below will throw interest and principal on the shoul- ders of Upper Canadians, bef(u-o long. How the loan stands now, or how far Canada remains bound, I say not, for our managers are a bar. d of cunning jugglers, and no trick they may jilay Canada ought to astonish any one. The province endorsed 8800,000. CANALS AND RAILWAYS.

Tliere have been very neavy lires at Toronto, King- ston, Hamilton, London, Gueljdi, and other towns of Uiiper Canada, but the sntlerers, never received aid from the treasury of United Canada. When, how- ever, a lire consumed part of a suburb in Cinebee money was borrowed, say jt84,000 at per cent, on the credit of (.'anada, and let tosuch proporty-owuers as the authorities chose to favor. They were to pay 4 per cent interest, and gradually redeem the i)rinci- pal ; but government, inlluenced by covetous French members, wink at the non-payment of jjrincipal and interest; they swear to observe the law und wilfully break it; and in 1854, FIVK THOUSAND AND FIFTY POUNDS were paid out of the Commonfund for interest, the Frenchmen only advancing X168. Why should Upper C'anada have paid twenty- thousand dollars a year as interest, during a number of years, and be liable for the (irincipal, of money long since lent to a few opulent landowners in C-iue- bec, who have neither the honesty to replace in the treasury, tlx; loans nor the usury ? It is one of the blessings of French eonnec'tiun. In the case of lire at (luebec, the begging box went through Britain and tho Northern States ; very largo sums were received. Ui)|)er ('anada helped, and is now paying three-fourths of $00,000 a year of interest which an honest governor would have kept his oa\h by securing, but while every Assembly-man must have $-2500 of landed estate, a governor is foisted on us not interested, not a resident, ignorant of our country, not a landowner to the value of live farth- ings.

At midnigbt, ^ec. 11, 185-1, Iiippector Cayley moved, in Assembly, to vote $40,000 for the Laimtic Asylum near Qunbec, and 840,000 lor the Asyhmi at Toronto ; to which I offered in amendment, that as the money for Lower Ca- nada was to be taken out of the Common fund, into which the French had put notliing by any special Asylum tax, and the Asylum tax levied from Upper Canada was, therefore, partial and unfair, it be abolished, and the two sections of Canada placed on equal footing, [See Journals of Assem- bly, 1854, pai;e 515.) Government had kept back the money votes till most of the members were gone, and we were witkin a week of breaking up. Not a solitary Lower Ca- nada member voted to take off our backs a tax they equally benefit by, but do not pay, not one penny. Smith of Fron- tenae, Cayley, Crysler, Bell, Robinson, Murney, J. C. Morrilbn, IStevenson, Macdonald of Kingston, and Spence, of course, voted to keep on this odious, useless tax, as did twenty-four Frenchmen : six Upper Canadians voted to abolish it. Why should majorities of any 20 or 40 mem- bers present at the heel of a session, in the absence of other 90 or 100, be thus able to bind the whole ? Is it not a fraud ? In 1854, York and Peel paid on this tax £1540, and Toronto £938, owing £500 more. Lower Canada pays nothing I On .'31, Jan. IS.W, there was £19,124, in cash in the U. C.

In 1849, the Canals which render the St. Lawrence navigable were opened and the Americans began to allow Canadians to import foreign goods from abroad, and to export their produce to Europe and the West Indies, in bond: llii.s thej did to take the Ciirrying trade away from the St. Lawrence to Bos- ton, New York, and Portland, and to encourage their own merchants, canals, railways, cities, and shipping. Now York and Boston have tho New York Central, Brie, Oswego, Western, Cape Vincent, Ogdensburg, Montreal and other R:iilvvays — ibo Erie, O.swego, Chambly, and Northern Canals — and the Hudson River, as feeders from Canada. Quebec and Montreal have the St. Lawrence, the Ottawa, and the Rideau, and their Canals. The Welland Canal and Great Western Railway are more used, perhaps, as American lines of traffic than as Canadian. The Grand Trunk has scarcely be n felt as yet in business, as far as Upper Ca- nada is concerned. It is, like the American Railways, to bo a feeder to a great U. S. seaport, Portland. A r.ong the results of competition, ac TRADE OF CANADA. [80 cor ling to Honorable .John Young (reducing wheat into flour) were the following: Exported from Upper Canada to the U. S. 1819—24,930 barrels Flour; 1852— 4''.(J,912; 1854— 7(;2,575 ; nnd in 1855 a still larger quunlity. Exported to Montreal, 1849— 907,286 barrels ; 1852—710,749 ; 1854—594.394. Value of Imports from U. S. into Canada, 1849, $5,724,806 ; and in 1854, $17,300,730. The movement of property was— on the Erie Canal, in 1853, four million tons; on the St. Lawrence Canals 561,000 tons. Average of vegetable food received at tide-water, Hudson river, in barrels, in 1851 '2,-'3, eight million bar- rels ; by canal and St. Lawrence, ut Montreal, 750,000. In 18.55, to Nov. 30, all the grain of every sort received at Montreal was but thirteen hundred thousand bushels. The St. Cawrerco Canal Tolls are, as Mr. Young states, merely no- minal ; and Canada j)ays £24,000 a year to lines of tug boats, and £30,000 a year to a line of ocean steamers, receiving no return for canal outlay whatever; while the Erie Canal yields over 6 per cent on the whole outlay, besides do fraying all expenses. Altho' not one cent ia charged to Upper Canada for outlay or support of the other U. S. routes to the ocean, we pay heavily for a route to the American seaiiort of J'ortland, and for the St. Lawrence. While the toll on a barrel of flour between Buffalo and Al- bany is 22i cents,, and cannot be reduced, and the freight is high in proportion, such is tho waste. cHrelessness and gross mismanagement on the St. Lawrence River and Canals, that even thus the river route cannot draw the trade from the At- lantic seaports. United States exports to Canada 1855, $18,- 720,344 : do. to other B. N. A. colonies $8,085,676. Imports, Canada into U. S. $12,182,314; do. from other Br. colonies $2,954,420. This seems to leave $12,609,286 in favour of U. S., (payable by the colonists in cash,) but much of our imports are European, sent thro' the U- S., altho' a large balance has to be met in cash besides. Mr. Young Mr. Holton, the French, and tho government, as moved at their nod, have re- cently advised that another burthen be laid on Upper Canada, (for as to Lower Canada she has but little to tax except idleness, prejudice, and unsaleable wild lands,) — to wit, an immense sbip- caual. 10 to 12 feet deep, 80 wide at bottom, 200 at top, and 36 to 40 miles long, carrying steam ships of 750 tons, and drawing ten or eleven feet of water — which they propose to cut from the St. Lawrence near Montreal, (with locks, harbours, &c..) to the little narrow lake called Champlain, at the upper end of which there is a long canal of only four feet depth, requiring transhipment in Lake Champlain — transhipment in most cases at Albany — and transhipment a third time at New York for the ocean. Mr. Young states, in page 6 of a recent pamph- let, that only 45 cenls ^ barrel is charged be- tween Montreal and Portland — 292 miles — for freight of a barrel of Flour, &c. ^ railway-^ and then he proposes to destroy tho trade by this railway, in order that largo steamers may carry their cargoes to the entrance of the Northern Ca- nal, or to some of the U. 8. railways commencing in Vermont.

Tlie papists have got in Canada (besides millions of dollars' worth of wealth confirmed to them, and vast corporate powers), £1500 sterling a year from the Reserves, and they get now £20,933, in full— while the Episcopalians and Scots Kirk have got since 1836, in principal and interest, from the Reserves, nearly three and a half millions of hard Spanish dollars, besides a inillioti's worth more of Rectories, and the means of two permanent sectarian endowments. The Wesleyan Methodists and every body else have got heavy annual school taxes to meet, which the Reserves, given for education in 1836, would have bountifully defrayed for ever, and Doctor Ryerson has got the handling of the school money.
