CONTENTS,

Part I st.—A general view of Peel's unprincipled and fata
to, urse, and of the only remedy left us. This contains also thel
t part of the appendix, viz , Patriotic views of the Americans
P$ the subject of national labour, being a large part of the
Eatophlet of the Hon. Abbot Lawrence, the present American
flinister to England—The only safe alteration in the Constitu-
"On of Parliament—Corroborative Evidence that Peel's mea-
sures that lose the Colonies and our supremacy at sea must
Also cause a Revolution at home. .

Part 2d.—Peel's measures lose the Colonies must also
cause a Revolution at home—Deperate condition of the Colonies
----How to save the Colonies—Causes of the Revolt of the old
Colonies—The FACTS of the Annexationists in Canada indis-
Datable—The only Remedy, Democratic Legislation, which will
set the money market and its organs at defiance, permitting
„ Court no longer to turn out or keep out a Ministry—The
Monetary course which will best promote this country's indus-
try in case of a large import of Gold from California or else-
Where. Any fixing of the price of Gold in this country at the
foreign, instead of the British value, cuts the throat of British
Industry ; and a REDUCTION of our fixed price ought never to
be submitted to, as this would just be to perpetuate Peel's alien
principle of money. But our r etaining gold at its present price,
after the value has fallen abroad, would be getting quit of the
foreign price; and would be the best for British industry if
'lolly the price abroad falls sufficiently far below our fixed price,
'Our pounds the ounce, to attract the gold to the British
market. The difference between the foreign and British price
of gold would then be indicated by a rise in wages, and prices
here caused by the enlarged demand for British goods. WE
ISUST NOT SUBMIT TO THE BANK OF ENGLAND'S BEING
I(SSLIEVED FROM ITS LEGAL OBLIGATION TO BUY GOLD AT
Mint's
FOUR POUNDS THE OUNCE (or, in other words, to the
mint's being enabled to refuse to coin a quarter of an ounce of
ttandard gold into a sovereign, for the foreigner, as at present).
This would be a mere prelude to reducing the fixed price of
gold, the worst calamity that could befal us; but in fact the
'IITESTION IS ONE OF 'A GREATER OR SMALLER AMOUNT OF
SOVEREIGNS IN CIRCULATION, AS THE SOVEREIGNS TO BE
ISSUED HEREAFTER WOULD BE NO WORSE THAN THOSE NOW
.I,ST THE HANDS or vas PUBLIC. The Industrious Classes of
,i,oe country may be too politically weak to get the arrangement
,nat would be best in the circumstances, but they ought to sub-
Tit to no change that will not, at least, do away a fixed price
gold. and leave the pound note to represent a tertain value
.instead of a certain quantity of gold—or to be more plain—
“venty shillings worth of gold instead of a quarter of an ounce
of that commodity : the note bringing more gold when the
Price is less than four pounes, and vice versa.
Part 3d.—Peel's Legislation unpatriotic. His Money Law as
devoid of Humanity and moral principle of any sort as of Pa-
, otism. John Bull awakening from his fearful DREAM of
Irreciprocal Free Trade," which in practice is found
be not a new system of commerce, but a commercial atheism
or world of chance without any fixed Laws or Principles. This

or the Canadas, being the Speech of the Honourable Win. H.
rerritt, now President of Lord Elgin's Council, in the Canadian
arliament of 4th May, 1846. The Colonies to have a voice even
If not a vote in the Imperial Parliament, and the Colonists to
be a share of the promotion of the Public Services hereafter—
