Opinions of the Press.

Netc Canadian Paper.-Althouph our
American brethren do not give that active
aid to the Canadian press, which our long
cherished opinions of their kindness 10 the
oppressed led us TO expect, they afford W
an asylum, protect us from the blood
hounds of England and now and then
condescend TO read our numbers. We are,
moreover, right glad that our Vermont
neIghbors have encouraged the establish
ment of Canadian Journal, the first num-
Der Of which has reached US from Swanton.
1t is ably edited, and we will make liberal
selections from it. 1t is called the North

We have considered ''this view" and
have come TO the conclusion that you are
wrong.
The more fearful the odds, and the
more atyrant turns the screws npon a de-
fenceless people, the more despotism gnash-
eth his teeth and lays waste with fire and
sword the villages 81 the poor Canadians !;

Lafayette was not discouraged in the
darkest days of the American Revolution.
"Ihe more desperate the cause" says La
iayette, ''the more need has it OF my servi-
ces and if Mr.. Deane, (the American
Minister) has no vessel for my passage,
shall purchase one myself. and traverse the

Again, in the dark hours of the war Of
'76, says J. q. Adams 'sthe want of mo-
ney was heavily pressing upon the service
in every direction. The troops were
without clothing and other necessa-
ries o: life. He pledged his personal credit
to the Merchants Of Baltimore and raised
money adequate TO the purchase Of the
materials and from the fair hands Of the
daughters OF the Monumental City, he

garments"
The worse the British treat the poor
Canadians, the more we should proclaim
it to the world. And here we will add in
the language of the Watchman, 22d Jan.
1888 -

1t is impossible for me to express the Joy
that swells my bosom at this moment on be-
ing welcomed to my own free and happy
land, and 10 the arms of my countrymen,
with that feeling of sympathy for the un-
fortunate part of mankind which is ever
the characteristic Of an American. |, with
SIX others OF my countrymen, have this
moment been released from an imprison-
ment in Canada Of 16 months, having been
taken prisoners on the 9th Of jan, 1888,
at Maiden, on board the Schooner Ann, of
Detroit, for having taken part in the re-
volt of the Canadas. Yes, 16 months have
we breathed the noxious air Of the tyranl's
dungeons, the greater part Of which time
the calling letters and chains encircled our
weak and feeble limbs, which soon be-
came such for the want Of bread. More |!

KIDNAPPING.-Twoc canoes
loaded with Indians, were sent
over to this city to day, to ar
rest and carry back to Wind
sor, two of the regulars sta
toned there, who were lucky
enough last night to step across
the river.-D.. Craftsman.
|. BOZ MORE K1DNAPPING.-A
British regular deserted from
the opposite side, a few days
since, and took up his residence
in this city. A reward of f2O
having been offered for his APP
prehension, we blush to say
while we write it, that three
certain individuals, as we are
credibly informed, residents of
this place, were found base
enough, either from mercenary
motives to obtain the reward,
or from a total want of human
ity and patriotism, to obtain
the transportation of bis person
back again, which must result,
either in his being shot or trans
ported. The manner in which
they effected the design, we are
informed, was by supplying
him with liquor, and then by
using threats and persuasions,
alternately, induced him to go
down to the river; where, get
ting him into a boat, they sue
ceeded in crossing to the oppo-
site shore, and placing him in
the hands of the authorities
The result was that some
of the members of the very
company from which this sol
der deserted, were so indig-
nant at the baseness and treach-
cry of the act, that they sue
ceeded in obtaining possession
of the person of one ofthe pan
ders to royalty, and took him
back to the woods, where after
inficting sundry punishments,
enacted under the government
of Judge Lynch, in the way of
shaving his head, cropping his
ears, and enrolling him in an
attire corresponding, they took
a rope and tied to his legs, and

MONTH EAL,

DEAR SiR,-Until this moment, have
not been able to write to you, for want Of
sale conveyance for my letter-nor could
now get one, if it were not that we have
several good American friends here, in
spite OF appearances and Of what is said TO
the contrary. You can form no idea Of
the direct, and particularly the indirect
vigilance ofthe government we are under,
to suppress news and its crcuation-to
smother the publicity of their black and
revengeful deeds and by these means to
crush US here into submission, and to de-
ceive people abroad into the belief, that
ALL IS WELL.
Not many days ago, in each Of about a
dozen Of the southern parishes, govern
ment pimp arrested one of the principal in
habitants, who, alarmed at recurrence
Of prosecutions anxious y enquired, why
he was taken. He was nswered-"lear
not, you have done nothing come quietly
with me to Town, and your detention will
be short You will be well treated if you
act prudently." In this way, Colborne
through his stupid advisers, collected about
dozen persons, who were separately and
secretly examined to the following effect,
and then dismissed with an injunction Of
secrecy" Do you know of any brooding
trouble in your part of the country'-Are
the common people disconnected, and do
you hear them complain?-In the event Of
war with our enemies, the Yankees, what
reliance can England place on your parish,
speak freely, you are safe here Twill they
not be faithful to England; who is power
full to put down enemies abroad, and dem
agogues at home, and TO extend her pro-
lection to her people! sc. &c." The
newspapers make no more mention of this,
than they do of hundred other occurren-
ces that they know it is prudent to be ST.
lent on. Discretion dictated the answers,
while the questioned know as well as we
do, tina, the government feels towards us,
that HATRED IS THEIR DUTY and
MURDER 1HEIR DELIGHT !
Yours truly,
