OF reformation had arrived that its dawn
was beaming upon my country. That
here in this land of liberty, Of equal JUS

of power which compose the history OF
ancient pagan governments, and modern
papai despotisms, would be lost in the

freedom, rendered still more benign, by
the principles of that religion, which
speaks peace and good will to mankind.
But it is said if the Canadians viii be
passive, give up their country without
esistance, we will not hurt them. In

done you no wrong and you have no
right to do them wrong. The only
