if this law of the british parliaraempad express ly for our protection did not exist i should as readily contend against the power of the legis lature of lower canada to impose the tax they have attempted to impose dp passengers or emigrants asit is the fashion if s then- who loud at what are called taeprfs or instead of a port ik lower canada if that legislative body has the power of

it their duty to pursue will be at oner and without any delay to address a memorial to our excellent governor sir john colbornc praying him to remonstrate with his majestys government sgainst the act passed in lower canada and respectfully claiming its dis- allowance of so much importance do i consi der the rejection of the bill by the home gov ernment that in my opinion the legislature of this province should be colled together if for no other purpose than merely to afford them an op portunity of making known their sentiments up on the subject but whether application to this effect should be msde to the lieutenant gover nor or not i leave to the consideration of older and calmer heads apart from the unconstitutionality of the men suro in question one cannot but be struck with its injustice and impolicy in the first place i would ask my lord godcrich how he could re concile it to his sense of justice or humanity to recommend the levying of a tax upon thedcsti- tute bat honest man who is reduced to a slate of pauperism in his native laud by the absolute impossibility of finding labour which he is anx ious and able to perform and is obliged to go in search of the means of supporting himself and bis starving wife and children in another part of the dominions of his sovereign such a re striction is cruel as it respects this poor man and his family and it is most unjust and oppressive as respects the parish 10 which he is an unwilling burthen the impolicy of the measure as re gards these provinces is equally glaring the hardy and bl botltetl lhmirer who in flreat britain and ireland is a pauper becomes com paratively speaking a man of wealth the mo ment he sets his footon canadian soil he may be employed in fortyeight hours after his arrival if with common diligence he seeks for employ ment at wages quite amnio not only to feed himself and family but to clothe and otherwise support them and at the end of two years by a grant from the king he may if he be prudent and diligent find himself in possession of a farm of from one to two hundred acres of the beat land in the world with a stock of cattle upon rt and altogether in aste of comfort and inde pendence soch as before he reached the shores xxix aad be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid that from and after the passing of this act do act of the legislature of the province of lower

to the home government that they are not th disaffected and discontented race that mac- kenxie and ryerson seem to have persuaded his majestys ministers to think them in this dis trict the address voted at the great and glorious geneal meeting is still in course of circulation a nd will be signed by thousands the example i am informod will be followed in gore niagara and all the great western districts even york where the vilest of public incendiaries and the open propagators of sedition and treason can alone exist is said to be awakened to the nece sity of vindicating its character i am told that a most loyal address denouncing tho infamous agitators mackenzie and ryerson is in course of signature and that nearly one thousand names have been appended to il a general meeting of the inhabitants of the county is spoken of and if it should occur the yeomen and men of substsuce will assemble and avow their loyitl principles they will not leave the meeting to the rabble as was the case when called toge ther by mackenzie and ryerson taikce edwaud has shown itself deserving rtf kmnihwr ara tnct tthe late meeting as you arc aware was convcneid by the agents of mackenzie and ryn- son mud in order to ensure success it is stud that a jw days meeting was appointed and held witfhin a short distance of the placo where i tho freeholders were to be assembled it was supposed that mackenzie and ryerson by means of their political preachers call them not cnfe tuns would he able to prepare a large portiun of their hearers for a declaration of their cat- vahces and to carry every thing before them how naiserably disappointed werclhey the substantial contented and loym yeomen did p pear and they scouted the hypocritical and f belhous crew waowotimprjiad jacm lo disomy the

single good object macken zie or ryerson has endesvoured lo attain in the whole course of thir public or private career mihve leisure 1 shall point out the principal actem in mackenzie and ryersons plans of re- bellmi it is proper that the people of the coun try and his majestys ministers should know who are the true and who are the false patriots of tht province the eyes of the country and thefoveroment should be upon them that their maciinations may be guarded against they are not to be trusted in pumieorm private tijc dchracy with those persons is now no longer to he jkeerved they must be exposed broadly uncfeguisedly exhibited to public scrutiny they boast of their loyalty and patriotism let us exa mine a tests they speak of their numbers and respvtability we will email them and tell of their feme public and private for the present farewell an anglo canadian f9r ths kingston cartmtde i am greatly surprised that the act passed by the legislature of lower cenadaimposinga ca pitation tax on emigrants from the united king dom has not attracted greater attention in lv province it is indeed remarkable that in these days when tho greatest industry is used in en deavouring to find out new cause of complaint that a measure directly violoting our constitution al rights and deeply affecting the general pros perity of upper canada should have been pass ed by unheeded i can only account for this by supposing that the mock patriots who infest and disturb the coontry are morft intent in presetting up the existence of imaginary grievances than in detecting and endeavouring to remove real one however this may be i trust that those who look for the protection of our most impor tant righta will not overlook the invasion upon them attempted at cluebec during the lest win ter and i alto trust that the wtu ptopu of up per canada will let his majestys ministers know that when they have real cause of com plaint that they understand and will exercise the constitutional means which they in common with all hia majestys subjects have a right to employ for obtaining redress wo have boen too much in tho habit of remaio- of lua favoured country he never could have an ticipated thousands of examples in both pro- vincea may at this moment be referred to in proof of this assertion the effect of this prosperity is to cause him to cherish and gratefully to ac- knowledge his loyalty to his sovereign and to i inculcate upon his children tho duty of obedi ence and attachment to the laws and constitution of the country which in upper canada are an exact transcript and model of those of england and thus perpetuity the connection of the two countries policy therefore should dictate and a sense of duty to iheir country should urge the ministry to promote f migration to the canada by every moans in their power it should be fa cilitated to the utmost and no impediments no not the slightest should ever be proposed a premium lor emigration rather than a restriction tax upon every principle ofhumanity and patri otism should be preferred and as another proof of this position let the manufacturers of england understand that the parish poor who in england t are almost without the means of obtaining the covering required either as a protection from the cold or as a guard againstindecent exposure are not six months in canada beforethey are clad in british broadcloth manchester cottons and irish linen these are the materials which universal ly constitute the garments of the inhabitants of the upper and with some few exceptions among the descendants of the french of lower cana da thcao are among the most prominent ad vantages which emigration to trs country con fers on the united kingdom and upon those of her surplus population who settle among us but the toyalpeopu of upper canada ils original settlers feel also that they derive great immense rtlhtotutth ffmvhfiic np- hv thrir fellow sub jects from great britain ond ireland here there are fto paupers every able fnsn and wo man can suppnit themselves without becominga burthen to any one this is soon found out aod therefore with an eagerdesire to emulate the prosperity of those who have preceded him the lately arrived settler dashes into the woodactears up the hitherto unoccupied grounds and speedi ly converts the dreary wilderness into fertile field teeming with the means of securing plen ty prosperity and contentment to himself and to his children nor is the labour or difficulty of arriving at this state by any means so great as is at first supposed tho toil soon becomes a pleasure for it is ctrlam of its reward but to prove this is not the object for wkkh i now write the exertions of these deserving men while it enriches themselves odds to the value of the property of their neighbours the trade of the country is increased the price of labour is re duced the value of real property is greatly en hanced and loyal principles are cherished pro tected and preserved and therefore we desire an unrestricted permission for them to come a- mong us with all these manifest and indisputable ad- vantages resulting to the mother country as well as to the settler from emigration to these pro vinces one cannot but feel astonishment that any interruption tn its progress should ever have been thought of by any real friend to the pros perity of either country no mr editor wa the loyal people of upper canada know that the odious measure was never suggested by any such person tae jrfinerre the avowed organ of the revolutionary party in lower canada o- penly recommends to and calls upon the people ofthat country to throw off their allegianceto the british crown before emigration from ihe british isles shall hove arrived at such an extent thnt the canadian natives meaning canadians ofprench descent sliallbeoutnumbcren by toe english irish and scotch who arefiockingto their shores and settling omongthem j and fair treasonable party as toe fcnow ae their aurcdil ed agent in england i in like manner mackenzie and ryerson for they should ever be named to gether are certain that they can hope for no power no influence not the slightest unless a stop be put to the immense inflox of loyal sona pf he united kingdom who look with disguat and abhorreuce upon theli seditious attempts to alienate the minds oflhe people from their alhs gianceand duty to their sovereign their hope is to gain strength from emigrants of 4 good re putatum from another and a neighboring coun try who will feel less repugnance to assist them in their plans of rebellion and treason and mackenzie and ryerson have also as we fcnoto thair accredited agent in england not support ed in england indeed by his constituents for they are too few and too worthless to afford it but by begging contribations among the easily duped to support as he soys 4 indian missions the question again recurs however and it is a painful one how comes it that the cabinet jtfi- nuter should have lent himself to a scheme so aacoosututronat and pernicious he may not have adverted to the act of the british parlia ment which prohibits tho passing 0 the law in question in the manner it har been passed if such were tho case he may be justly charged with a want of knowledge altogether inexcusa ble in ono holding the situation he holds but in such oase we have afforded to us a reasonable hope that he will not hesitate to correct as for as hecanan inadvertencyfraught with such injurious consequences and this by recommending to his majesty the disallowance of the odious law in question and let him not be deterred from do ing this though the hon mr viger and the rev mr ryerson should urge and entreat him not to do so he may rely upon it that every measure recommended by either of these persons or by iheir party has for its object tbe destruction of british influence within the provinces of upper and iowcr canada if he wiahes proof of this assertion let him obtain m file of themintna newspaper published in montreal theocknow ledped mouthpiece of mr papineau and the party whose agent mr viger is and a file of the colonial advocate and christian guanhan newspapers published in vork upper canada the latter edited by the rev egerton ryeron brother to the gentleman in london who write to lord goderich and describes the establish cd church of england as the km tree of upper canada doubtless those persons have recommended the imposition of the t as being calculated to benefit the poor emigraor who are left destitut on their arrival at quebec this is a perfect fallacy thccteionof afund for such a purpoaa is highly inexpedient in my opinion but if it were necossary let the provinces raise k tber arc enriched and benefited by every able bodim emigrant that settles among us even if he do not possess a coat to his back upper canada knows and feels this and werthe question pro posed to its legislature it would infinitely pre fer giving to each of the emigrants as they reach the province a sum equal to the tax now da manded from them thon to receivingit buti must not enter upon a too particular discusaio of the merits of the question i have i tmsl said enough to lead the attention of my fellow countrymen to thisimportaot matter and i trqt they will oct as become mett who understand their rights and are resolved to maintain them i solicit he insertion of this communication in the upper canada herald and kingston patriot the latter has on more thao one occasion ho nourably and ably supported the caese of the emigrant th other editors of newspapers in dinerent ports ot the provinceravourable to sound and constitutional principles are olso respectful ly requested to give publicity to th opinions i have expressed an upper canadian k 7 the editor of the cluebec mercury b al so requested to insert this comsbonication for the chronicle i did not observe the spirited aod jodicioiia cb- serrations of the editor of the patriot in 4 ta- luable paper of the 13th instant until after bod prepared the above communication otherwise i should have felt it my duty to have referred o them in all mr dalton says i entirely concr with one exception vrz that m if the legislator of lower canada will confine their tax on emi grants to such am intend t sattla in lower ca nada there ia no objection to their imposing h to this i utterly disomt if for no other ttmt than because in my opinion it is of tbe utmost importance to the welfare and importance of this province that the settlement of the waste lands rf lower canada with emigrant from ihe united kingdom and ireland should be encouraged as much as possible and this opinion is founded on the very reasons given by the jsuibritisk of that province against their admission vis that by thus increasing the population of that colony you will perpetuate tbe union of the canada wiithe mother country which it ia now tbe a vowed object of that ungrateful and disloyal party to dissolve or rend asunder aye even by treason andvjqlence again i am a little surprised that it did not occur to a person of the scutencssof mr dalton that so long s canada continues to be divided into two provinces as it now is it matters hula what may be our wishes or feelings on any mat constitutional point wt must inevitably fouoso the destinie ofth lower proptnt thus if it bo confjjw jft lie heewftss carpour

wo be at once involved in the same measure whenever they desire that the constitution should be changed by curtailing the undeniable and necessary prerogatives of the crown concession is made to them snd the measure is foreedupon us- and as a matter of course whenever tho treasonable spirit which is now brewing amovg the traitors of lower canada shall have aequb- ed sufficient strength to justify an attempt at rebellion against their lawful sovereign we if chcy be suceacful must be rent from our parent stock and thrown into a state of dependence and degradation which no loynl british subject can contemplate but with an indescribable intensity of horror and disgust to ovoid this dreadful calamity and to correct the evils arising tooa from arbitrary ond unconstitutional legislation in tbe sister colony it is moot important that a preponderaaoa of british principles should bo established there and thia can only be done by one of two means either by encouraging the set tlement of british emigrants there until they outnumber the antibritiah or by a union of tho province the utter would unquestionably be the most effectual measure and ought to be a- dopted at once i predict that it will take ptacr in the course of a vtty few years if not immedi ately the necessity will in a very little time become se apparent if it be not olready so to the people of uppercanada that they will claim iv and on grounds so manifesllyjuat and politic that the request will not be denied for besides that british principles would then at once become ascendant it is the only means by which we can hope to regain what nature intended br and gave us but of which we were ihonghtleas- lydcptlvod a seafoftf let the people of upper canada contemplate for a moment what might be done for the im provement of
