Why don't the banks resume! alas!
Hopes brightest visions fade!
Another Treasury Order s passed,
For which Tom Benton prayed.
No hope have we for better times,
Nor dare we yet presume,
That Van and Kendall ever win
Allow them to resume.
One only hope-a star most bright,
Has risen amidst our gloom
The Wings have armed them for the fight,
And sworn the factions doom;
And if they conquer-who can doubt,
That light viii then illume,
Our country's deepest darkness? then,
Then will the banks resume.

with any regard to national character, delay to
bring the criminals to punishment, or to rem
der 70 the injured subjects of her maiesty's,
redress-though it be too late, in this instance,
to offer them protection.
The demeanor and conduct of the pupnla-
ton Of this province, has been that Of people
resting securely upon the sancity Of law, and
the regular exercises Of the power Of the great
empire Of which they form part and accor-
dinghy, even during rebellion, and foreign inva-
sion, this country has not been disgraced by
any scenes Of individual violence, on the part
Of its loyal inhabitants. The character which
has thus been gained to this province, has COM
manded the admiration Of the British people
demonstrated the proud superiority Of British
institutions-and is too valuable to be sacri-
feed in It's smallest part, for the sudden gratif-
cation of indignant feelings, however Justly
they may have been aroused.
Therefore express to her maiesty's faithful
and loyal subjects, my entire confidence in their
digni6ed forbearance, and that the British fac,
which has been so nobly defended by them,
viii not now be stained by having outrage OF
insult offered to the persons or property of for
eigners within its territory, and under its pro-
lection
It need not be said to men who understand
the character and institutions of England, that
injury offered to one British subject is felt BY
all; and that the mutual ties of duty and af
lection, which bind free and loyal people anC
their sovereign together, give the strength O
the whole empire to an injured individual
This consideration Is all that is necessary t.
restrain a loyal community within becoming
bounds, and to insure their leaving to theI
government that claim for redress which this
unprovoked outrage imperatively demands.
Until the American government shall have
taken such measures as viii ensure the live
and property of British subjects within the ter
rltory of the United States from spoilation anC
violence, the utmost guard and caution is re
quired on the part of masters of steamboat
and other vessels, in entering American har
bOrs, as it is but too plain that at present tn,
subjects Of her majesty may be sometime
placed in the power of lawless banditti, wher
they imagine themselves within the protection
and authority Of friendly government.
