CANADIAN ExLEs. Public meetings have lately
been held IN several towns upon our frontier, with
view to express sympathy for the oppressed Can
adams, and TO devise ways and means to relieve the
wants OF such may have been compelled TO cross
the line into the States to escape incarceration and
perhaps ultimately, the galows- Their flight was
hurried in some instances, that if they had prop
erty it not unfrequenty left TO the rapacity of
their enemies. Unquestionably then there ma
nv within the limits of the States whose sufferings
should be relieved by the hand OF charity; especi-
ally such as are unable to procure profitable en-
ployme and the means of support by industry
Such persons deserve commiseratiou, and our aims.
Yet an indiscriminate bestowal of charity should
be voded, and assistance rendered only to the
truly necesstous The best charity that gen.
orally be bestowed upon certain class of appli-
canls consists providing them with EN- loyment
If their roul they will accept il; if they
are impostors, they will frown upon you and de-
part The bestowment of aims where they are
needed, encourages vagrancy; yet because there
are wanderers claiming to be exiles from Canada,
who are in fact mposers, the fact should not
close up the channels of bcnevoence in reference
to those who are its subjects
But there is evil, which we fear will grow
out of these meetings, viz: that they will tend to
excite hopes on the part Of the resident Canadian
population DESTROYS of throwing off the yoke of
foreign domination, which they will never realize.
In such an event. we should assist their enemies,
rather than aid them in their desires. Hence we
should be cautious in all movements relative to the
Patriots, and hold out that only, which in any con-
tingency can be performed. If we to believe
President Van Buren's late Proclamation, there is
no ground of hope for the Patriots; bp: although
this may not be true, one thing is certain he has
no sympathy for them, nor for the triumph of Re-
publcanism in Canada, and consequent liberty TO
the people, only such as may be granted in the
tender mercies of British tyranny. But notwth.
standing all that he may say or do, we hope to see
the day when republican freedom shall be bestow-
ed as their inalienable right upon every people;
when the system of colonial vassalage shall be
broken up, and the power of every nation limited
10 its own legitimate sphere. When that day ar
rives, Canada will be free and independent, as by
right it should be.

Inpudent We notice that several Admnlstra
ton papers are attempting TO induce the belief that
Swattwout, the deiaulter, is a Wing. This is toe
bad; and it is prosuming too much upon the igno
rance of their readers. Swartwout appoip led
Collector Of New York by Jackson; both of w HON
were warm personal and political friends, and :
main so to this day, 50 far the public know any
thing about them. They also friends of Aaron
Burr and it is generally believed were confeder-
aies with him in his conspiracy. 1t has become
quite fashionable with the Van Burenites, SO soon
as one of their oflicehoders is publicly known as
defauter to turn round and he is Wing
Were il so the would not be altered-the ad-
ministration, if not corrupt the defaulter,
would know if he was so or not. At This rate the
burdens of the Wing patty will be greater than it
can bear; for ii appears likely that good share of
the federal Office Holders will be turned off upon

UTThe amount of property destroyed by the
British in their late descent upon the Patriots in
the County of L'Acadie, is estimated, in schedule
we have noticed, at nearly ST. 100000 This de-

which were goods, grain, furniture, &c. This is a
poor way TO induce citizens to obey the laws, espe

will eventually consume the rod of oppression.
