DEsPOTISM IN CANADA.

The British have laid waste the Country
with fire and sword, plundered the unarm-
ed and defencceless inhabitants Of furniture,
cattle, provisions, and even of the clothes
that covered them from the pitiless storms.
The men are shot down in the streets,
dragged to prison, or driven into the
woods to perish from starvation and frost.
Women and children are obliged to suffer
treatment worse than death from the bru-
tai volunteers, and wander from place to
place begging for food and clothing. How
long shall these scenes continue without
the voice Of New England being raised in
their behalf3 Where are those men OF
God, who cry aloud against the soppressor
of the black man Where are the descend
ants of the Patriots OF '76? Cannot
something be done TO put an end TO these
things

Cardinal, with mingled grief and indigna-
ton, tits the life of my unhappy and IN
fortunate husband, he that is so dear TO
my heart, and TO my innocent children,
that | solicit. She was told coldy that
her Ladyship would speak TO his LordShip
about il, and Mrs. retired TO be widow
the next day.
The day before his death, about 4 P. NJ.
Mr.. Cardinal sent for friend, and begged
of him to see that his bier should be COW
cred with the pal-cloth made purposey
for the funeral Of the victims % the 2lst
May, 1882, who were murdered by SOL
diery, actuated by hatred Of the Canadi-
an people, and thirst FOR blood.
On the morning OF bis death. after per-
forming his religious duties, according to
the rites of the Roman church, to which
he belonged, as Mr.. Cardinal was prepar-
ing 10 turn his steps from his gloomy cell
To the awful scatfold, he all at once be-
thought himself of some papers that lay
on the table, which he took up and gave
To tho Provost Marshal, saying-"I feel
glad that | have thought about these pa
pers. Had forgotten them, it would
have injured a poor widow. Be so kind
as to send those papers 10 their proper ad-
dress" The eXeCutIOher was then called
to make the necessary preparations. Up
To the last moment Of his life be remained
unchanged and Interchangeable in his polit-
zeal views, and apparently resigned to his
nnmeriied fate; aud passed now and then
a few words Of consolation TO his friend
who was 10 share it with him. A single
murmur only was heard from this victim
of British despotism-" How cruel it is
to die thus, and die so young )" but i'm
medately he added" but my death shall
be benefit to my country, and it shall be
avenged on the tyranls Of Canada" Mr..
C. taking the lead, moved forward with his
fellow sufferer, quietly, but dignifiedly to
the place Of sacrifice, there to lay down
I..s lie .%og his countfy ~. The cause ot
freedom. He encountered death with that
true philosophy which putteth away fear.
Scarcely had they stepped upon the scaffold
ere it could be said Of the subject of this
sketch-"he is no more" Not SO his
companion; he suffered long and severely.
The bodies were delivered over to their
friends and accompanied tother last abode
by numerous concourse Of citizens, the
remains OF Mr.. Cardinal being covered
with the pal-cloth Of 2lst. May, in accor-
dance with his request.
Such was the end Of a man beloved BY
his friends, and respected by his enemies;
such too was the end Of an affectionate
husband and kind father and such the
end Of PATRIOT. And now it remains
to be seen if those fiends incarnate, whose
garments reek with their gore, shall es-
cape that vengeance which is treasured up
against them.
Mr.. C. was a man Of middle stature,
rather slender, Of a dark complexion eyes
black. His whole countenance bespoke
mildness, but at the same time, frmness
and perseverance.

entered into the spirit OF the Contes. Of
Liberty against despotism, with the zeal
that the importance Of the cause requires.
In common with others, we think that the
rights of the people Of both this country
and Canada have been encroached upon
by the government officers both civil and
military, and by the Representatives ofthe
people in Congress assembled. The voice
Of Liberty has been stiiled and the freedom
Of the press has bean checked from official
arislocratic and anti-repubiican sources.
We believe that the people Of this State
have desired a correct history of the facts
that have transpired and that continue
daily to transpire in the struggle Of the op-
pressed against the oppressors upon our
borders TO be published in the journals they
patronise and that in this, their wishes
have been disreg arded either through party
trammels or other influence and that they
have been denied the publication Of their
sentiments concerning the wrongs visited
upon the Canadian people. To remedy
some Of these evils that gnaw upon the
public mind, that threaten the vtals Of our
institutions and make every true Patriot
mourn-we have started this paper and
have dedicated it to LIBERTY, TRUTH
and JUSTICE.
We are for Canada through good report
and through evil report, through success
and defeat we go for the Libefty-loving
Patriot. Wa believe the Cause of Canada
is and should be made the Cause of all
America. So long as Canada is in the
possession of the British, so long the
Americans will have neither peace nor Sc
curity. Britain has always waged war
with our Country's prosperity, and will
continue TO menace our safety, so long as
she has her bayonets south of the North
Pole. In advocating the Canadian Cause
and in battling for Canadian freedom, we
shall not forget that we claim to be an
American Patriot. With an unlnching
determination TO expose foreign and domes-
TIC tyranny and TO denounce the tyranls--
with stern devotion to the rights Of the
people, and an unwavering opposition to
tyranny in every shape, we ask the friends
Of Liberty TO extend to US the right hand
of support. V
~ Our friends in Canada and along the
frontier are particularly requested to for
ward US all facts connected with the cause
in which we are engaged, which may con-
tribute to make the NORTH AMERICAN
interesting and useful. We wish TO make
this paper a faithful record of past and
passing events, and as these events may
become matter Of history we shall expect
our correspondents to pay due Difference
to that truth which cannot be controvcrted,
and which will render our journal worthy
the patronage Of the American public.

His Excellency's ideas Of the night Of the

merit the animadversons of his political op-
ponents, and TOO ruinous and disorganizinp in
their tendency to meet with the least counto-
nance from the sober and intelligent portions
Of his own party. To adopt the policy advised
by his Excellency, of infinite wisdom--in re-
laton to the repeal Of all the Bank Charters
the whole State would be convulsed and its

the Gorstlayes ofthe mostiron despotism of Eu-

views of his Excellency we believe to be too
outrageous and intoleroble to be sanctioned
