1t is certainly very difficult for US in the

We publish on our first page the pro-
ceedings at the Court House on Saturday
evening. The call for meeting was only
published in handbIs on Saturday morning
but most nobly was it responded to. We
have never known such rally in this town
on any occasion whatever. Good Judges
say there were not less than seven hundred
in the house, while not a few failed in
gaining admi'ta0ce. Notwithstanding the
exciting circumstances under which the
meeting had assembled, its proceedings
were conducted with the utmost ptopre;y,
and the resolutions adopted bot fairly eX-
press the calm, dgnifed. bu, determined
spirit which pervaded every heart. On
the question ofadoption. the response was
such an enc as never before shook the raf
tiers Of public edifice. 1t was indeed a
noble rebuke to the ''bed room petition"
which called it forth.

Mr.. STACY,-lt appears 10 me that

support it, 10 the province Of Lower Cana.

those, who have taken N arms against
that government. are extremely mpojitic
and ll-iudged, They are lmpoli'ic, in as
much a. they have n direct tendency to
destroy the friendship NJ present happily
existing between the United States and
Great Britain. and 10 interrupt that mutual
intercourse and good understanding, which
has hrrctufurc existed, and which It is our
interest should exist, between our own cit.
Zens aud the citizens of Lower Canada.--
And they are III judged in as much as they
tend 10 lnJnrc, rather than benefit. those
whom they encourage IN their rebellion.
That we should sympaIhze with those,
who suffer wrong'ully, and should make
our land an asylum for The oppressed is
right and proper. But before we cndanger
The peace and best interests Of our country.
by the NANTES alton of our svmpathies for
a people, who have revoled against their
long established government, we ought to
be well assured that that people have lust
cause for their revolt. and that our sympa.
thics are not only enlisted on The side of
right, bu' that the manifestation of them
will benefit the people in whose favour
they are enlisted.
i is far from being my object to discuss
the matter of difference between the gov.
crnmcnl of Lower Canada and The dlsaffec.
ted subjects ct that government, but | aus,
fully persuaded that careful and dspas-
slonaie examination of It, would convince
every unprejudlcad person. that the people
of Lower Canada enjoy as much personal
freedom as we do in this boosted land of
liberty, (wllh an exemption from taxation
which is wholly without parallel,) and
that they suffer no grievances which would
IN any wise justify revolution.

For the Watchman & Journnl.

Messrs Editors-l noticed that "a freeman
in the Last Patriot, has seen fit TO get up ire
mendous troJ story, and by inuendoes and in.
situations, is doing his utmost 10 irjure Lieut..
Gov. Camp. Permit Inc 10 say, briefly, that
last spring a wolf, (Which was not tame,) was
brought into Derby, by man from Canada,
who intended 10 carry it to Massachusetts, aud
exhibit it on the way for show. Thai when
arriving at Derby, his horse was attached, and
he, of course stopped. Tint he then endeav-
ored, unsuccessfnlIy, 10 sell the wolf, and f.
nay determined TO let il loose. In this emer-
gency son Of Governor Camp determined TO
purchase The wolf and did do il; and the real
wolf man was thus enabled to pay his debt and
resume his journey. The Governors son had
thus saved the wolf from beng set at large-i,
was on his hands, aud how should he be in
Identified There was only one way, and that
was to kill The wolf and claim the bounty
This was done: and the Governor maintained
before the c0unty judge that the case was
equitable; thai the wolf was killed in the state
and for the purpose OF preventing tho animal
from being set at large in The state. My own
view is the came: the wolf had no legal resi-.
dence, as | know Of any where; and the
chances certainly were that he would take up
his then present residence in Vermont-Sup-
pose the wolf had been set at large, and TWEEN
ty or thirty men had surrounded and killed
him, in Derby, and on the spot2 Wonld there
have been any question but that line bounty
was duel Or suppose that the animal was
pursued and finally taken and killed al Iras-
burgh: il seems 10 me that then there could be
no question. But what is The great difference,
whether the wolf was actually lei loose and
killed-or prevented from being let loose and
afterwards killed 1t seems TO me 'distinc.
tion without difference? p But 10 finish the
story the county Judge gave certificate, but
at sthe same time wrote 10 the state treasurer
that he had doubts about the case and the
treasurer refused TO pay the certificate The
result is that the Governors son saved ,he
wolf from being let loose, and lost his none,
by so DOING Now, Messrs. Editors, permit
me to ask if it is not a little ngenerous, to ga,
The least, to endeavor to throw blame on lht
Governor for this Transaction ] think he ha,
done no more than every father would have
done; and also think that all the injustice il
put entirely upon the wrong party: the boy
ought, in strict equity, TO have received lh'
bounty. have given these facts that no in
jury may be done 10 the Governor where he i
moi well known. In Orleans county he stand
loo high, as an honorable, just, and rigidl
honest man, TO be at all injured by the lnsin
ualons, inuendoes, or even bold and direct as
serlions Of the Vermont Patriot.
