me to call your attaatioa to your ankles on the navigation

I am able to prove some of your hypotheses offo4ootO, I 1004

arguments will have gathered strength. From the articles
alluded to, your readan can only infer:-1. That the post-

venal discontent is Canada. 2. That when we found Canada
enjoying a preference is our markets over the United States;
we proceeded to put the two on a footing of equality. ..l

judiced enough against chartists and democrats, Mr. Baron

foreign countries ? What Maness has he to warn the die-
effected ? It he talks is this way with reference to the eases
