ORIGINAL BIOGRAPHY.

CHARLES SANGUINET was a younger
brother of Ambrose Sanguinet, whose
Biography we gave in the preceding num-
Der. lie was born at Lasalle in 1903
He settled as farmer in the parish of St.
Philippe, in the county o. Laprairie, where
BY his industry and honesty, he soon &C
quired wealth. His education was ade-
qua:e TO his station in life, and his good be-
havior secured him the friendship Of all
who ever became acquainted with him.
His political sentiments were always based
on truly Republican principles. In 1928,
when the whole Country rose en- masse to
petition against the tyrannical conduct Of
Lord DaIhouse, the subject ofthis Biogra-
ply was not behind his countrymen in de-
manding the immediate recall of Cover
nor so odious. He was named one Of the
Committee appointed to carry out this
measure at the great meeting of the Coun-
~ OF Huntingdon, which took place at St.
Philippe on the 18th January, 1923.
In 1884, at a general election Of Repre-
sentatives, he supported those candidates
who had declared themselves in favor of
the 90 resolutions. In 1887, he was pre-
sent at the meeting of the County Of La
prairie, and took an active part in the pro-
ceed;ngs OF the meeting which had for its
object the adoption OF measures TO counter
act the resolutions passed by the I'M
pera Parliament Of Great Britain against
the liberties of the Province of Lower Ca
NADIA.
On the rising of the Sc day of last No
vember, he heartily joined his countrymen
in their attempt to overthrow Govern
ment which had been notorious only for its
injustice and acts of cruelty towards
his native country. He was so much es-
teemed by the people ia his neighborhood,
that he was entrusted with place of no.
nor at their disposal. His brother as we
stated in the preceding number, was made
a Captain, and he was named Lieutenant.
1t would be useless for US to repeat what
we said in his brothers. biography about
Walkers atfair.-Suffice it TO say that be-
ing his brothers. Lieutenant, he was in the
unfortunate expedition, which terminated
in Walkers death. We shall not here
repeat the arguments we already gave, to
prove the correctness and propriety Of the
conduct OF those concerned in the fatal
engagement, and TO show the injustice and
impropriety Of the condemnation of these
men as murderers. We all know the san-
culinary disposition of the British. Peo-
pie of the United States, your fore
fathers, when they nobly ioughtthe battles
of their country, were also declared out
iates and murderers and those among them
who had the misfortune to fall into the
hands of their merciless enemies, were hung
as SUCH Were those victims ever con-
sidered as murderers, by your forefathers
although the British had tried to stigma
tie them as such No. They were
Justly and deservedIy considered as inno-
cent men, who were the victims of their
pure and devoted love Tor their country.
It'll so, doubt not the fact, with those
brave and generous Canadians, who, for
their Country's Cause, lost their lives on
the scatfoId. They always passed Cor up
right, honest and respectable men and shall
an iniquiious sentence, passed BY servie
aud bloody Court Martial, blast their men,
DRY No, it shall not be so. The Cana
dams and Americans have been too much
