Upper Cunada.-The new alien bill which Gre
ates so much alarm among the people OF inns pro-
vince, bears heavily in its operation upon the An
rlo Americans Ii reduces them all who have be
come residents since 1898, to the condition OF atl-
ems. A full compliance with the provisions OF the
bill, makes them British subjects only in the prov
ince of Upper Canadd! A removal into any 9th.
err colony reduces them again, to the condition oil

this they protest. in which they are seconded by
every class of citizens, not connected with The
government. )
BY an act passed in the 30th year OF the reign
Of George ILL., "tn encourage American citizens
TO settle in the Colonies.' Americans we're requi-
red. before thew could avail themselves OF certain
privileges under the act TO take the oath OF ale

ment of the requirements of this act it is contend

law. and that it was 50 understood at the time BY
the executive government of the province. BY the
present act they called upon to orswear them
selves: and to take the new oath of allegiance; or
to orego the privileges of citizenship, and again be
thrown upon the world without the right OF soil.
The government party give tn the law construc-
ton which secures to the American certain priv
egcs as an cmyrant. but which has no reference
to civil rights. Here the different interests are at
issue.
This excitement may prove the foundation OF iu
ure important results. A deep feeling .pcrvades
the minds of the people. which vents itself in Ian
cuase neither equiyocal nor tame. we can DIS
cover nothing in the proceedings Of their meetings,
however, which threatens immediate resistance
their measures are confined to an appeal to the
government cf the mother country. for redress
Of grievances. and FOR protecting them against the
rapacity of their rulers.
The opposition newspapers second the efforts OF
the people with holiness and zeal. The last 70

lowing sentence. among others equally strong;-
Such change (of ministers) in the colonial

citcment. which seems to be universal, more than
ordinary imroltanc, may be attached to it.

From the National Journal.

The Oppositon tone in this country, and the
Tory tone in Great Britain are III the strlctest
harmony on the subject of the stand which the
United States have made on the SUBJECT OF the
trade with the British Colonies. The same foreign
feelings which induces the antagonists OF the pre-.
sent Administration to oppose the protection OF
domestic industry and the progress OF internal
improvement, leads them also to oppose, not in
terms, indeed, but in effect, the interests OF our
own commerce and navigation. So far, then.
they are consistent throughout, and il is right that
this consistency should be known to the people.
We recommend it to our readers to peruse the
following extract from one of the last English pa
pers, and to compare its tone and temper with that
Of certain orators Of the 10th Congress
From the Liverpool Courier, JAM II.
UNITED STATES We insert in another place,
the substance of the correspondence between MIR.
Canning and Mr.. Gallatin, on the subject OF the
commercial disagreements advertcd to IN the Pre-
sident's Message. The publication will do good
on both sides the water for we cannot but think,
that moderate and fair men will perceive, that MIR.
President Adams has assumed too much in his COM
plants against this country. and that he has not
put the Government of the United States in the
best point of view, by urging claims contrary to
the practice of nations and the obvious abstract
rights Of the case, and then indulging in pettish
retaliations. The great mercantile body OF the
United States, we are pretty confident will feel
that their opinions and wishes have not been fairly
represented by their government: and that they
do not wish to see questions Of trade treated by
politicians in the little over-rcachng spirit of some
petty and corrupt retail vender. The clear rea
soning of Mr.. Canning will be convincing, we are
persuaded to them, as well to the people of this
country and now the subject is fairly before the
public there, the government will be made to feel
by the expression of its sentiment, that there is no
reason whatever to interrupt those reciprocal and
liberal arrangements on both sides. which recos-
Mise at once the principles of mutual fairness and
mutual advantage.

Woodstock. bringing the following result Of The

Robert Allen, sos ls5 IS soj
Powell's present majority eO
We confess that this vote does not meet our e.
pectations, and that we entertain strong fears Of
Mr.. Powell's reelection. Every effort which man
could make was making against him.--Men who
had not voted for twenty years were brought in,
and the country securing in every direction. Mr,
kercheyal was urged to withdraw, but he peremp.
torily declined, declaring that he had given his
honor to his friends to continue He was the only
candidate who addressed the people and in his
speech said he had been shamefully treated BY
Frederick that men Of the first responsibility had
deserted him. after promising him their support;
and that if Shenandoah united IN favor Of their
| candidate he could not complain. On Mr. Ks
concluding, the voting commenced about II
o'clock.
We would gladly pass over the scene which
followed. We do most sincerely lament that hu.
man nature is capable OF such deep depravity~

On MIR. fowcI's challenging voter, tn. fellow
bclched forth the most horrible blasphemies agans!
him, saying he ought to be horsewhlpped out Of the

concert of damned spirits. The most opprobrious
epithets we're flung around the courthouse, and
through the public streets. Damn Powell! the
tory! damned rascal." I" Hurra for Allen and
Jackson" Sour krout forever!'' " Damn the
gingerbread voters" and other like expressions
were uttered BY men, women and children.-Mr
Powell was repeatedly dcfed and blasphemed. and
personal violence was threatened him in the street
