an lntolerable nuisance, certain to prove a
stumbling block in the way of every at
tempt to improve the political Institutions
OF the country. For this reason they ap-
piled to the British Parliament, to abolish
the Legislative council in its present form,
and to substitute in its place, some body
responsible to the people, whose destnies
1t directed. This request the British Par
lament refused. Whereupon the Canadi-
an House ofAssefn bly, had recourse to the
constitutional remedy ofstopplng the sup
piles until their request should be attended
TO; the British Parliament upon this, in de-
fiance ofthe opposition off best and ,ablest
members, passed series of tyrannical res
olutions, in which they threatened that un-
less the House of Assembly saw fit to vote
the usual supplies, those supplies should
be levied and paid out, by the colonial gov
ernof, on his own mere authority in utter
defiance of the right Of self-taxation guaran-
teed to the Canadians by the act of parlia-
ment upon which their present system of
government is founded.
This tyrannical threat instead of subdu-
ing only reused the spirit of the Canadi-
ans. They held public meetings in every
county, in which they passed the most Vi
gorous resolutions. Lord Gosford, the
Governor General, in vain attempted to put
a stop to these meetings by promulgating
against them an Unconstitutional proclama-
ton, and by depriving oftheir commissions,
as justices of the peace, and officers of
the militia, all those who took part in
them.
nfact. more than nne-tenths of the pop
ulation of Lower Canada, has lost all at
tachment to the British Government. 1t
was only supported by little gang of office
holding Tories to whom British gold was
enough to make palatable any thing con-
hected with it.

ORIGIN OF THE CANADA REVOLT

The Boston Atlas accounts for the Cana
'da revolt as follows:
In the first stplace it is grievance and a
grievance which will be felt to be intolera-
Bile 5y those who have the slightest pros
pect Of shaking it off, that the affairs of a
people should be under the control Of a
Colonial Minister, resident In another coun-
try, totally ignorant of the condition OF
things in the colonies which he rules, and
in whose appointment or dismissal, those
colonies have nc part nor lot whatever.
This in itself is an intoerable grievance;
i. is foreign yoke which no people will
bear longer than they are absolutely obli-
ged to.
The way the thing operated in Canada
was this. The colonial ministers, mem
bets as of course they were, of the English
aistocracy, had very different ideas of
government, and very different notions
about the welfare Of the colonies, from the
House Of Assembly chosen by the Canadi-
an people, As the Canadians gradually
imbibed the republican and the democratic
spirit, which the neighborhood of the Uni
ted States was so adapted to inspire, they
passed multitude Of bills, the object of
witch was TO assimiate the administration
of affairs in Canada, to the system which
they saw SO successfully in operation along
theiI southern frontier.-These bills of
course did not suit the notions of the Bri-
sish ministry; and they were all defeated
by the Legislative council, the Canadian
house OF Lords, composed of members ap-
pointed for life, by the British ministry,
and selected from among the most supple
tools and the most feroeious tories. that
could any where be found in the whole pro
vinoe.
So matters went on. the Canadian Le-
gislalve council regularly defeating every
proposition for reform, ill at length tho
