tsmpt Of the American tories together with
the authorities to fFown down the SYM
pathv of the Americans in your aid. This
will also be a failure and why because
the existence OF the American people as
nation are pledged to your support, and the
majority OF them feel this. To be indltier-
emf TO n cause consecrated by the services
of Washington, Jefferson and Franklin
is utterly impossible. The same unchanee-
able truths for which they fought are now
the ground Of contention between the Can
adam people and their rulers, and Ameri-
cans must feel that they owed their origin
as nation to like struggle. Fain would
the abettors OF tyranny make the people
believe that they had no interest in Cana

them TO fight it out without sympathy or

fsuch cold policy were to prevail, they
would have lost the virifying spirit which

not remain careless about the extension Of

nationality, and stand aloofwhen the Can
adam are fighting for principles that made
glorious their own revolution.
In conclusion Canadians though lower

A desire to do justice TO the character OF
the late Governor General of Canada in
duces us to publish the following letters,
which prove him to have been possessed
of more charitable heart than might have
been expected from his education and mill
tary habits. Who would have thought
that civilians, some of whom were natives
ofthe country, all of whom expected to
reside therein, could be guilty of such bar
barity Theirs should have been the
part--as men-and as corps who should
have tempered "justice with mercy" to
have interposed their protection to the
furious ebuIitons OF an old soldier-and
secured those unfortunate men from his
fury--instead of that, the foreigner and the
man of blood exercised the royal preroga-
tive with clemency and liberated Ia, who
had been sentenced to transportation by
his Council. There is not in the compass
of language suficiency of words to ex-
press the baseness of such body. The

be forgotten, when grateful return for
