curv.--
COLONEL THOMAS, of Burlington, the only
American citized on board, begged permission to
address the company aud TO propose toast, which
he prelaced with a neat and appropriate speech,
acknowle lodging the great attention his coun,rymen
had received AT the hands of The Earl of Durham,
the deep impression it had made on those who had
experienced his hospitality, and which had been
participated in by all their connexions and acqualn.
lances TO whom they had recounled the friendly and
gracious manner in which they had been received
by The Earl aud Countess Of Durham. Col Thorn.
"a expressed his firm conviction that, had the Gov
ernor General in returning to England travelled
through the United States, his reception in the dil
irrent towns he passed through would have been
marked by rivalry in exhibiting the good feeling
the citizens Of the u. States felt 10 be due TO his
Lordship. Col. Thomas then proposed his Lord
ships hea'lh and safe passage TO his native land.
Which was received with great applause.
Col. Thomas has but truly expressed he
sentiments Of large portion of the Amer.
lean people. Lord Durham though I'M.
successful in the objects of his mission has
nevertheless left behind him enduring me.
m1rials Of his enlarged and liberal views.
His manifesto, on laying down the insignia
Of Office, is an able document, repetc with
practical good sense. He looked at things
in their true lght-hc saw the population
Of Canada aenated and estranCed by the
Encouragement of the government, IN
arms against a set Of bastard Bobadil's who
were seeking their extermnalion-.he heard
their appeals to the sympathy Of generous
people who had but just emerged from a
successful struggle for selfgovernmcn, ;
and he also heard The response come back
gushing and warm from the hearts of free.
men, "God speed all who fight for FREQ.
DOM" And yet, seeing and knowing all
this, he d d not, that we are aware, ever
threaten TO hing or shoot the symra,hizcrs,
nor did he talk of invading our territory
with the Colds'ream guards! He did
indeed threacu TO come and see us, to
survey our glorious country, and witness
the wonders that half century of freedom
has wrought in The new world. Wercgret
that he did not come. Most assurcdly
would he have been cordially received by a
plain people, who, dIsrcgarding the artIf.
cal distinctions of the old world, are
always prompt to pay homage to virtue
and intelligence. That Lord Durham would
have been successful in the object of his
mission-to reconcile the rcvolutlonsts and
save Canada peaceable province Of Great
Britain. we do not believe. The thing IS
impossible. But that he might have done
as much or more than any other man to-
ward that object, we fully believe. Dnr>
ham was an Englishman, acting for the
benefit of Eng land, and therefore could mol
have satisfied the people of Canada. We
envy not his successor.

BURLINGTON.

The Sentinel and Lamolle Express are
making themselves excessively merry at
the circumstance that John Smith had a
majority of the votes cast IN this town,
The Clerks record shows that NINETY

leaving Mr.. A. 90 majority of the votes in

much for this pretended Tory triumph
But let them enjoy it, for it is the only way
they can fix majority in this town.

BY the following, from the Montreal
Herald Of the 18th, it would seem that
Lord Durham was just in time in getting
out Of the country, or he would have been
arrested as "sympathzor. 1t was seri,
ously talked in Montreal that Butler ought
to be arrcsted; and it seems that even
General Clllhcrow is given to understand
that she dces not possess the confidence of
the Blush and Irish population Of that
city"
Mr.. Charles Butler. late Chief Secretary 10 the
Earl OF Durham, arrived in town Gom Quebec, on
Saturday af ernoon, in the steamer -. George, and
we believe left town yesterday morning for New
York. on his way TO England We under
stand, that on board the ST. George. he asser-
ted that the Canadians were an injured and
an oppressed people, and that the so called
loyallsts. had caused both this and the first
rebellion, by tyrrnnising over their opponents
and goading them on to rebellion. Mr.. Ellicc
who was but lately captive in the hands OF
his own tcnantry, has expressed himself in
somewhat similar language, and styled the
rebels very good sort of people, but that
some of them have been awiuly ungratcfni
as he was taken prisoner by individuals who
depended on him for their daily bread. Major
General Clliherow comedies in opinion witt
his two Wing Radical brethren. and we car
assure the trumvitate, that they do not possess
the confidence Of the British and Irish popu
lation Of this city.

But this appointment having been declined

suit, and it was declared that the Rev.
