when the main-mast is overheard ,-sofing

clear the wreck one would expect, Sir,
10 see you, aiming the blows Of sharp
axe, with a nervous arm, al this horrible
Influence
have spoken OF facts. These are, that,
at Napierville, at BeauhArnais, at 81. Eus.
tache, and at other places, we have seen
the rural population not only scout. laugh
at, and treat with defisicn, that supposed
influence, by opposition and insult, but
carry II even TO personal restrant,--of
their Curates
The facts referred 10, demonstrate that
the influence you are supposed to believe
in,--does not exist. Whenever the
feelings Of people, run counter to the
policy OF the Priesthood, OF any country,
(however sunk in bgotry and ignorance, J
the influence OF the Priesthood ceases TO
subdue.-This is truth, Sir /! ask his
tory -
We have the testimony, even OF the
Editor Of the Montreal Herald, TO prove
that the Canadians do not listen TO their
priests, when the political opinions Of these
differ from those OF the mass Of the peo-
pie. The following extract is from the
".4dstract ofLhe Montreal Herald" OF the
9th April, lS4o:-
:" On Sunday last, Mr.. Ginguet, the
priest stationed at ST. Charles, on the Ri
yer Richelieu, addressed his congregation
after the performance of Divine Service,
calling on them TO sign, or rather append
their crosses To, the petition, which he
had, against the reunion Of the provinces;
stating, among other gross misrepresen-
lations and lies, that the reunion tended to
take away their religion. From the dis
regard the habitdns of that section of the
country paid to the religious advice o.!
their priests, before and during the two
rebellions, we do not think they have
much religion 10 part with, although they
may maintain the FORM"
We hope we have successfully proved
that the Canadians were not attached to
the English Crown, and that they have
fought with the Americans. We have
also established beyond all doubt that the
Canadian people are not dictated by their
priests, but that, on the contrary, they
treat their religious teachers as they would
other men, when these are opposed to
them in political matters.
II Il 4.
have been the real causes of the failure of
the Canadian campaign of '76. This is
our fourth proposition.

fer, from these circumstances, would be
eGenaire.
This eGensireness would most power
fully relieve the defensirene.a Of our plan,
on the land lace OF the United. States. Is
would at least, restore the equilibrium
lost, by The relative weakness OF Briiish
North .amtriea, in comparison with the
Great Republic.
Turn we, now, TO the survey of the
powersof resistance, or OF attack, possess
ed bg The United States.
The Hscendancy Of Great Britain, on
the ocean, wnuld neutralixe the power OF
evil, which otherwise, the United States
would possess, 10 an eminent degree
The eommcrce of Great Britain would,
undoubtedly, suffer considerably from pri-
vateers sud national vessels which un-
der cover OF night or storm, or by the aid
OF chance, might escape to sea. The
hooters and marandeTs OF other na-
tons, would avail themselves OF the United
States Letters Of .Marquc, 10 cTuize

standing these cIrcumstances,-I think,

loss. The use Of steam will interfere
considerably with the business OF pfiya-
teers.nen perhaps, 10 such an extent,
as TO protect the commercial marine, etli-
