The only other claimant in what is now BEastern Ontario was the city of Kingston which had already had a taste of the prominence and prosperity which accompanied the seat of government and was anx- lous to gain the honor permanently. The City Council, as that of Ot- tawa did, prepared an address for transmission to the Colonial Office and it weut a step further by in- structing Thomas Kirkpatrick and John R. Forsyth to proceed to Lon- don, as a deputation from the city, 'there to press upon Her Majesty's Privy Council the claims of King- ston to be the permanent seat of the Legislature of this colony." "I need scarcely say," Mayor George Davidson advised the delegates, "that the council expects that you will on your arrival promptly and diligently apply yourselves 'to the interests confided to you; and as the council places full reliance in your judgment, that you will adopt whatever measures to you may Seem expedient, to ald you in the attainment of the great object which, secured, will elevate King- ston to the first rank amongst Cana- dian cities." The Kingston address quoted ex- haustively from the utterances and writings of former Governors ap- proving of the selection of Kingston as a capital at an earlier period and, in common with the Ottawa address mentioned the military advantages which accompanied the possession ofa fortified harbor, as { well as the city's freedom from serious-outbreaks of disease. Tt also recited the disadvantage of the other eities claiming recognition, among them Ottawa, of which it spoke as follows: "Whilst the remote City of Ot- tawr----the recent town of Bytown---- would possibly "admit of fortifica- tion; though at an enormous outlay, Kingston's ' defences are already built, and as the outlet of the Rideau Canal, the key to that military work and the only protected harbor where a fleet could le, it must ever be the stronghold on the possession ' of which the fate of Ottawa must de- pend. ------ Kingston Indignant. "Whilst for Ottawa it may per- haps be contended that its infe- riority iff size, In population and nh comparative importance constitute claims as the location of a capital on the principle acknowledged in America that the Legislature should be removed from the influence of a large and wealthy community, even these claims, shared as they may be considered to. be by every village in the country, fall val- ueless before the fact that the situation of Ottawa on the line between the two provinces exposes it in a marked degree to the same unfavorable influences that exist in Montreal, whilst its actual location partly in each division of the prov- WR Bh oo Cold weather is on its way.
