that does not contain this. And the martyr
dom which il has suffered has been of the
worst kind, being not that which hurts the

But amidst this mental and moral chaos,
there came forth q spirit fair as the light and
beautiful as the morning. Clad in robes OF
mild and captivating radiance, she walked
forth amidst the PROSTATE human race, and
whispered in their ears the startling intelli-
gence, that they were men. She assured
them that they were born merely to do snoth-

But now come TO serious question.
Since both Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Morris
have argued, that the rich will tyrannize
over the poor, and have recommended
therefore, TO keep them quiet and good hu,
mored by fixing them for life in the Senate
and other high places in the state, the
army and the navy; it is time TO enquire
seriously, whether these gentemen-lhem-
selves rich men-were in earnest in thus
impeaching the rich; or was it mere poll
cy, adopted Tor the moment to carry lav-
orable point: First, to alarm the people,
by showing them Lion in their way;
and then persuading them to put the dan.
gerous beast into splendid cage, palace,
becoming the ferocious dignity of his royal
bruteship, and there to feed him with the
richest and the choicest viands, instead OF
shaving him as Sampson did. | must say,
indeed, that Of all the rare cataplasms, or
or quack remedies, for physical, moral and
political disorders, this new plan OF curing
tyrants of their inordnate and foul pro-
pensities, by placing them in the highest
Offices for life; this proposition to lengthen
and strengthen the claws OF the Lion, or
the langs of the Serpent, instead OF cutting
them OF or pulling them out, is of all others,
ever known or heard of, in my humble
Judgment, the rarest illusion or haucina-
lion OF a brilliant mind That such truly
illustrous men, and profound geniuses
should hit upon snch remedies to prevent
or to cure political disorders, is a; least one
more proof thar in the language of Job,
Z" great men are not always wise!"
Let US, then, repeat it. away with all
mean suspicious, all vulgar jeaousies, be-
tween the poor and rich And let US all
unite to secure TO ourselves, and our poster
ity, the continuance Of the blessings of
Union, Liberty and Justice.
To the poor and meritorious man of my
country; would say-Does any rich man
look upon yon with contempt, merely be-
cause he is rich and you are poor, remem-
Der that il is his individual folly, weakness
or wickedness, that excites the lrown upon
his brow: And upon such an arrogant
fool, the poorest mechanic, or the humblest
laborer, with sound head and heart, NAV
Justly tuIn the sneer Of scorn and contempt:
He may say to him, in the conscious pride
of honest American Democracy:-Who
art thou, weak and vain upstart, that dares
10 turn up your nose at ielow-creaure,
made like Yourself in the image Of his
Creator; and who, if his wealth be not
equal TO yours, has that within him which
you do 30; pnSsess-a mind enlightened

Major Head describes his journey through
a great part Of Nova Scotia as exhibiting
a melancholy spectacle of half the tene-

These provinces contain nearly $4,000, 900
OF acres, and though among the longest

have population only Of abou, SOS 900
souls, giving only one inhabiiant for every
eighty acres. As il il were the settled pur-
pose of the British Government TO keep its
dependencies in a state OF beggary and
wretchedness, they are deprived Of the
benefit of the very mines of their Province.

In Newfoundland there has long been the
ordinary collision between the representa-
tive body on one side, and the Executive
on the other. The representatives have
no influence on the composition, or the
proceedings Of the Executive government,

Canada, by mpeachments ofvarions public
officers on one hand, and prorogatons on
