not do any. good towards accomplishing the
desired end.
In speaking OF the other par:, compris
ing large majority, Judging them by those
within my own knowledge and acquaint
ance, have no hesitation in pronouncing
them to be the very dregs OF the human
race. There are many causes which in
duced them to enter into public service
but the most prominent one appears to have
been the love OF money. Such high boun-
ties and wages as those now offered are a
strong temptation even to men Of some in
tegrity, and were eagerly seized by these
modern patriots, either for the purpose oil
making their fortunes at once, or 10 crafty
their desires in the style OF the most proi.
ligate wletches. Accordingly we see the
avarieious accommodating large treasures Oh
the pretencc of serving the public: And
the prodigals are supplied with plenty oil
money, which :hey are unable or too lazy
TO procure any other way Thus these i
dlsrs receive large sums OF money withou.
earning one cent.
Some are influenced to enlist in order to
get out Of the way OF ,hei, creditors alter
having. in various ways. run themselves
deeply in debt. Others again, " despising
the dull pursuits OF civil liie," being too UNI
steady TO follow any laudable avoca,ion, re.
garding neither the present nor the future
prospects, enter the ranks TO kill time
More reasons might be enume ated, but we
think it needless. We can expect nothing
else but what almost every mail furnishes
from men OF such characters, and collected
by such means.
A series oil defeats have been the result
OF all attempts to take Canada. The gen.
officers, mortified by their own weakness
and ircapaci,y to fill the stations to which
they have been promoted, indulge them
selves in terminating each other in "a
manner that would disgrace school boys
