the state Of those unhappy provinces with
those OF the great and mighty American
In'on, whose primitive settlement is con-
temporary with that of Canada. and he
will ind, ms a great statesman of England
lately observed in his report Ia the Eng

Fupicy are the principal features Of The
country" Yes, it is a truth not 10 be
denied by rational men, that Canada wil

ropean Government cannot and will nor
do, and ere long j. must give way 10 the
establishment Of republic. Such is the
natural course Of events in this part Of the
world. 1t ought 20 have taken place in
1883, when peace took place between the
Two belligerent powers. John Adams
than whom no greater statesman ever ex-
lsted on the continent Of North America,
was Tor continuing the war rather than no,
have Canada, Nova.Scotia and the Flo
r'das, emancipated from British thraIdom.
We have cited several passages from his
letters, and we have also produced VIII
tngs from other eminent inen, who tore
saw the great advantage it would give
the infant Republic TO have the broad
channel of the Atlantic Ocean as n line Of
boundary between them and their natural
and cruel foe, the English Government.
But unfortunately their suggestions were
not listened 10 the Americans were get
ting tired OF contest, too long for the
resources OF new country the people
too were anxious for peace, and were rea-
dy to accede to it, even at great persopa,
and national sacrifice. A little more per
severance and they would have cleared the
whole continent but alas the fatal deed
was too hastily signed, BY which large
and valuable portion of North America
was lett prey to the British vuItures. IL

OF America which was then, and is now

mercy and wisdom ordain that the great
day OF Jubilee may be near at hand.
We hope we have proved, to the full sat
isfaction of our readers, our five propose.
tons and il we stand in error as To hstor-

the quotations which have been made
from the different authors produced, it is
to be hoped that some Of our friends will
be kind enough to correct US, and show
wherein we have erred.

We shall now entertain our readers with
that part Of the history which relates 10
the war oil rs and &c, and then continue
with the principnl facts connected with the
history Of Canada down To the present
time. OF the French Canadians who had
been made prisoners by the Americans
during the revolutionary war in Canada
we find that the great majority belonged
to the nobfesse Francaise; some Of them
had been made prisoners at the surrender
OF Fort ST. Johns, which they had braveIy
defended with the gallant officer who had
the command OF 1.-THE remainder were
taken on board Of the British ships which
had been captured near the mouth of the
Sorei river, Immediately after the fight Of
Governor Carleton from Montreal; there
were nevertheless some few excepted.
whom General Montgomery thought pru-
dent TO put under guard, when he took
possession Of the city Of Montreal. We
have procured list OF the names of those
persons, from living witnesses. and from
public records. They are as foilows:--

, The COMING LEcTIoS-NoMINArIoN FOR Al
DERMEN AND AssIsTASTs.-Somc OF the Ward
Committees have commenced the nominations for
Aldermen and Assistants at the ensuing election,
and in a few days. the whole them will be before
the public. This is subject which requires that
the utmost discrimination, calmness, and sound
judgment should regulate the ultimate decisions Of
the Committees; and shall thoroughly canvass
the personal merits and fitness of the res pective
candidates, without the least reference to political
or party measures.
The wings have commenced their career by nomi-
mating Mr.. Tsdd for Alderman in the 9Th Ward
And who is Mr.. Todd? A very respectable mer-
chant IN this city, very amiabe in all his pri-
vate relations, and in many of these respects equal
TO Mr.. Varian. But this is not sufficient These
are all very good so far they go but they do not
go far enough. The people who TO vote for
or against him, wish to know something of his capa-
bilitcs public What station has he here
tofore held in public life, and how has he discharged
the duties of that station? He has been for many
years a Director in the Manhattan Bank, and has
stood tamely by, and bcheld the shameful misman-
agement in that institution Of the property OF the
widow and orphan; he has the grossest ~ stem
Of abuse carried for years and years, and never
exerted himself to put stop to it. Is it likely, then,
that he will attend better to the public duties of
Alderman, than he has heretofore TO those public du-
ties with which he has hcen entrusted7
What folly, then, is il for the committees either
side, bring forward for the support of their fell
low citizens the of men, whose whole past
public has only proved their utter incompe-
tency and ineiciency for Offices ofpublic trust and
responsibility. IL man has any natural talent or
ability to discharge public Office, he will be sure
exhibit it at the first opportunity that j. presented
TO him, as Mayor Clark did early in life Some
men, like him, born with natural talent for
conducting important public affairs, with honor and
general ad Vantage There il sort of innate public
spirit, natural to fitted for public Office, which
is inseparabe from his conduct in whatever situa-
tion he may be placed in. This the with
Mr. Clark; TO him, the duties Of his office were a
pleasure; he fulflled II not task but source
Of gratif cation. Other men seem born with such
narrow and contracted views ofhuman life that they
can attend to nothing but their private inter
ests; this appears To have been the case with MIR.
Todd, in the concerns Of the Manhattan Bank. How
ridiculous, then, is il, 10 nominate such man for
public Office, This is OF the first bunders OF
the Wings at this election. Let them correct II in
time.
