The dnys Of royal stray in America are
numbered, ~onderfut resignation of
the LIp-LoYAL" Tories Of Canada TO
The fate that Gtcaits Hem-threGts Of

madness.
From the Montreal Courier, Nov. 10.
The BrockpiHe Statesman is out strong
against the Union Of the Provinces. So
will be the whole Of Upper Canada, unless
it be the YANKEES that infcst a. and
who seek Union ,cith The French Of this
Province 10 subrert British rule in .4me.
rtca. The conviction is strong on our
minds, that a Union, unless the lnvcterate
hostility TO British dominion, which ami
mates the French Of this Province, be neu-
trazed, will be as the sound OF the bell
that summoned MACBETH to the bedside
Of the sievPins DvroAN. BRUSH suprenl-

Royal sway in America, will then be num-
bered. When man resolved to commit
suicide, ii is useless to attempt 10 prevent
him it is as well 20 let him die drcently,
as Caesar did, folding his toga around him,
because interruption may cause him 10
make sad spectacle OF himself, and qashed
cotpses are offensive to the eye. So, as the
| Government has resolved TO dismember
the empire, the wise method Of proceeding,
/ for good and loyal subjects, is 10 permit the
Government to do il as decenlIy as it can /;
Ito offer no interruption to the proceeding,
lest the Imperial toga be displaced, and
make the fall Of the suicide ridiculous. ---
We all love the " old country" dearly and
respect it, and what we love and respect,

cnlous object. Therefore, we hope tho
Britons oi this province. will throw no OBJ
slacle in the way Of Union. The Bril-
tsh people paid twenty millions sier-
ling to the planters for the emancipation
Of the negroes. The British people OF
Canada, will shortly make proposal to
the ''Home people, 10 sell their property
: and interest in il, SO that they may remove
elsewhere" As the government has re-
solved 10 re-estabish the French and as
the BRUSH Provinciaisls cannot submit 10
be ruled by apoued enemies, by tested
J rebels, even though they should be the Ia
vorte children Of the /" home people," il
is but lair that John Bull should be asked
10 pay them, for their property, that they
D aud their wives, and children, may remove
