THE CONDEMNED PATRIOT.
Written By young Canadian Patriot The
Erening before his Execution.


Erening before his Execution.
Oh! must | die' and die SO young; and
now too, when the world has just begun "a
open TO me in all its perspective beauty
Oh, it is hard, hard thus to die-to die
an ignominous death upon the scafold, my
last moments TO be embittered by the
,aunting jests and ribaldry Of my enemies.
Must die thus 81 could have met death
with fortitude upon the battle field, but 10
die the death o. felon; how dreadful the
thought! !, who have INDUCED in the fond
hope of writing my name high upon the
scroll Of fame, must |, ere the consumma-
ton of the great design, die-die a fclon's
death! Oh! must bid an eternal adieu
to my aged and beloved mother? Yes il
must be so. In vain did you, my mother
bow in humble supplication before the
tyrant Colborne, to implore pardon for
your only son. Yes, she bowed before
him, and with her hands extended in sup
plication, cried in the wild accents of
mothers waiing-" Oh. spare, spare nv
only, my idolized son!" out lin vain-she
might as well impore pity of the famish-
ing tiger. The monster spurned her from
his feet. And must | leave her too, 10
whom | have breathed my vows of early
love? her, whom love with an attachment
bordering on idoatry-with affection too
pure, TOO intense too holy for this life?-
Yes! For tomorrow | die.-Oh my God !!
How sicken at the thought; my brain
reels with a giddy dimness, the cold sweat
stands upon my brow; it seems like hor-
rible dream which haunts ME like the in,
cubus. Oh, that | could be spared but
Tor another day, TO see her but once more;
but vain, vain is each wish; the awful
preparations are even now making for my
execution, which speak Of death as truly
as yonder orb painting the western horizon
with its golden hue, tells Of departing day.
But away with these thoughts, they serve
but to unman me; will be myself again;
| will die as becomes Canadian patriot
Yes,-I, who have fought the oppressors
OF my country, and who have never yet
bowed the knee in humble submission to
man, will show the murderer Colborne tina,
though his chains and Dungeons have i'm
paired my frame, they have not broken
my spirit. When yonder orb shall have
made another revolution, this form will be
cold & inanmate clay: but my name shall
live in the breasts Of my countrymen, and
will incite them to revenge my death and
that Of my fellow-suferers;. and my
memory will be revered by posterity,
whilst the name OF the barbarous Colborne
will be remembered only TO be execrated

For the ErDrpss.

SR:-The unparalleled rapidity of improve
ment which has taken place in this portion ofour
fourshing State for the last few years, s,together
with the great natural resources for commercial
and manufacturing purposes, warrants the be-
lief that in a few years that region of country
known as the Maumee Valley, will become
one of the most important sections not only of
our own state but Of the whole western coun-
try, and as the tide of enterprise and improve
ment rolls on carrying in their train the ele-
ments of higher civilization, a period will ar
rive when all that relates to the early history of
the settlements in this beautiful valley, WILDE
come matter of deep interest to its inhabt-
ants. The manners and customs, the downfall
and decay of the powerful nations of Indians
settled on this river, the p1vations and adven-
lures of the earlier settlers &c., afford an
abundance of materials for historical sketches,
now easily secured, but which will be in few
years obtained with much difficulty and uncer-
tainty. With these considerations would pro-
pose to such persons as might feel an interest
in the subject (iu this and the neighboring
villages,) to form Historical association inde-
pendent Of, or auxiliary to the State Hlstori-
cal Society, as may be deemed most proper.
