Mr.. EDITOR. great light OF democ-
racy, "lux non lucenlo" the Statesman, it
seems, is opposed to throwing open to all with
proper restrictions and conditions, the business
of banking. What, he's Mr.. Medary SO soon
turned aristocrat after finding himself with the
governing power! Is he for preserving to the
present bank interpretations, the exclusive pri-
vllege of furnishing the people with credit
currency? am sorry to come to any unfavor-
able conclusion as to the motives Of one here
tofore considered SO strongly opposed to mo-
nopolies---but cannot resist the conviction,
that, he is either an out and out dupe of the
golden humbug, and wishes the destruction OF
every kind of credit currency, or that he has
been bought up By The banks. take it that he
is far too intelligent, and knows too we'll the
wishes and habits of our people to expect to
reduce them to an exclusive specie currency.
A shilling, or one and slxpence per day, is
what the most devoted laborer Of his party
would hardly consent to be reduced to, even
for the pleasure and honor of being patted on
the shoulder every election day, and called a
good democrat. The editor has therefore
clearly been tampered with. To me it is a
matter of sincere regret, as you Mr.. Editor
know, that the Statesman, with all its infiu-
ence should have been bought over to support
monopolies, and to oppose general banking
law. did not wish him to support banking
law calculated for rogues and sharpers, such
as that of Michigan has proved to- be, but one
which, while it should by guards and restric-
tlons, protect and render secure the bill holder,
would at the same time put every man in the
state in condition Of equality in the business
OF furnishing necessary credit circulation

From Me Montreal Herald, Extra, Nor. 5.
- The events we have SO often predicted, are
now matter of history-the Canadians have
again risen in open rebellion, evidently under
most efficient organization, and Martial Law
was Yesterday proclaimed in this province for
the second time in the short space Of twelve
months. Most alarming intelligence reached
town yesterday forenoon, that the whole coun-
try was in state Of insurrection, and that ma
ny loyalists had been murdered in cold blood in
the county of Acadie. Further accounts but
too painfully corroborate the previous rumor,
and a considerable body of troops was des-
patched to that county. raleo1lii E
The steamer Princess Victoria, which took
over a detachment of the Royal Artillery
on Saturday afternoon to Laprairie, was twice
set on fire by the rebels while at the wharf,
but, fortunately escaped without much injury.
The oyalists in Laprairie had ten minutes no.
tice to leave the village, and getting on board
the steamer Britannias they have arrived in
town in safety. Yesterday morning about two
o'clock, party of about 400 rebels attacked
the house of Mr.. L. Brown, at Beauharnois,
and after about twenty minutes fighting, Mr..
Brown, Mr.. Ellice, junior, M. p, Mr.. Nor
val, Mr.. Ross, and the constitutionalists, sur
rendered themselves prisoners, and nothing
more is at present known of their fate. Mrs.
Ellice, MISS Balfour, and other females in the
house at the time, took refuge in the cellar du.
ring the engagement. Mr.. Brown and Mr..
Ross are both wounded. Ettr
A considerable number of arrests were made
yesterday, among whom are L. M. Viger, the
president of the Peoples Bank; d. B. Viger,
an ex Legislative Councillor; Charles Monde
let; John Donegadi: G. s. Cherrier, and
great many other leading rebels. aite
The Volunteers were ordered out, and We'd

and they brought in considerable supply. 1t
was remarked that in Canadian houses, there
were very few men to be seen, and it is suppo-
sed that they are not far off. The gates at the
different barricades were closed, and strong
pcquets placed to guard them. Reinforce
ments of troops were sent to various quarters
of the District. At Beauharnois the rebels took
possession of the steamer Brougham, in her
way to Lachine with the mail on board.
II is currently reported that during the en-
gagement, Mr.. John Mcdonald, while leading
on party of Dragons against the rebels, was
shot dead, five bullets having pierced his

Since we have heard from the New York

little whiggish like though we don't exactly
like to own it. In fact, it seems very doubtful
very indeed--which is to be the strongest
side, taking the whole country together. We
shall however, 60 for General Banking Law,
as usual, for the election of Post Masters by
the people, for single term for the presiden-
cy. We do not want any national Bank, nor
any other national nor state monopoly; we 60
against the Sub Treasury tooth and nail,
against Federalism, consolidation, union Of
church and state, Aristocracy and man-wor-
ship. We shall believe in no mans democracy
the more because he swears, drinks whiskey,
OF has hole in his trowsers, neither shall we
call any man on arstocrat because he sports a
cambric hand saw nhls bosom or silk hand
kerchief dangling from his coats tail, or gets
bottle green on champagne and mint juleps in.

the mean time we fight upon our own hook,
and pin our faith upon no5ody's sleeve. We
shall keep bright look out upon the domgs Of
both Wing and Locofoco parties, and ask NO

a T
Sound DOCTRINE FROM O'CoNNELL.-In q
recent speech on popular occasion at Dub
lin, Mr.. OConnell showed the mischief that
had heen done to the trade of Dublin by
combinations. He said: --
Free capital, free trade, free labor, free
dom in every moral sense is my motto; and the
honest tradesman wEo might have Temporal
ry personal interest in keeping up the monop-
oily of labor, must unite with him.--Freedom
and good understanding between the labor
er on the one hand, and the capitalist on the
other, should always exist, and there is little
doubt that trade would flourish. But the mo-
ment and an attempt is made to raise wages
by compusion, that moment the prospects of
trade are blighted. have been all my life
working against monopoly. Those who do so
are the arstocracy of trade, against them /
