Some one has sent us the PHILADELPHIA
Public Ledger containing letter address
sed 10 the President Of the Union Demo
cratic Association, by one Of the members,
wherein he discloses the disgracefut fact
that Mr.. John Griffin, a member of that
body had been lately expelled, because he
had transmitted a copy Of General kem's
litter, trhich had been furnished him By
the Secretary Of The association, 10 Mr..
Mackenzie for publication.
How pleasant It's to talk Of Freedom
1t will be recollected by our readers that
Gen. Keim's letter intimaied that Mac
kenzie could only be released through the
permission Of the Representative of Roy
atty IN Canada. Our feelings are strange
~ wrought upon when we look on this
picture, this prostration Of that greatness
which has attached 10 the American name
"nee The days Of Washington. Who shall
how sing
Columbia Columbia, to glory arise,
The Queen Of the world, and child Of the skies -
Her glory is waning, and unless the
present favorable moment is seized upon,
70 retrieve the lost honours, we fear il

Extract Of letter from Canadian Re-
ugee, who occupied a high station 10
Canada, and who was a Member of Parli-
ament -
- 2Sth January, 1910.
Ny Dear Sir,--The position OF The Ca
nadas, particularly that Of Lower Canada,
is very critical. Orr enemies are prepar-
ing TO divide among themselves the spois
which have fallen into their hands, by the
infamous conduct of the great man 10 whom
we have placed such unlimited confidence.
But, my dear friend, in s pite Of the peril
dious and co,card!y chief against whom
we have 10 utter such string OF complaints,
and in spite of our numerous enemies, we
will yet tread our native soil under the
protecting shade Of lovely liberty, Oh
what delightful task to guide such kind
and well disposed people in the path Of
true civilization -
That man (Papineau) has injured The
Patriot canse more than all the other oh
stacles which have been thrown 10 the way
Off. His name was ne walchword, the soul
of the Canadian party; in fiinching from
his duty he has disofyanIzed their whole
plans he has brough, upon Us confusion
in all directions. We shah long while
leel the effects Of his hautem and lucapa-
city. What false Step--to sent hun 70
France, where he is doing nothing bnf 10
sho,c his great name! He does not even
try To make up for the ENORMOUS faults
which he has committed. No doubt but
there ought to be some one there TO un-
mask his sehshnesS and hypocrisy. s@s

.fnother letter from a great .guthoy.

.9n0Her teHef from a gffm .5utn0f,
Our submission would justify all that was
told beforehand oil the corardice and per-
fdy of some of the frs patriot leaders and
of whom we are the unfortunate dupes
Papneau could have liberated Canada in
January, 1888 he could have had 10000
Americans he could have had American
Generals In command them he could
have had 100000 dollars to pay the ex-
pcnses Of the expedition, s. these too at a
time when there were bnt few hundred
troops in Canada. He has refused these
proposals; on his head then most fall all The
blood, aIlthe suferings and all The pilage
which has taken place since that time
And why has he refused 10 assent 10 these
proposals. Because the oihr leaders who
were also refugees with him, desired the
abolition of seigneurial rights. Ard why
has he refused 10 accrde loihe abolition OF
seigneufia! rights; Because himself !. a
seignior, and his sister seignioIess." -

The only item Of interest in the Montreal
papers is the speculatisns Of the corps editorial
on the grand scheme OF the Wing ministry, for the
re union Of the Canadas. The course pursued by
the Duke Of Wellington appears TO be much regret
ted by all parties, but the bill is passed, they
express their conviction that the friends and adj
vocates Of the measure should show their strength,
not only in giving immediate effect to the pro-
visions Of the new Act, but in permanently es-
tablishing their principles and influence. Let
Union be the watehword, they say, and let no
time be lost in convincing the mother country and
the enemies Of the measure that we duly appreciate
the great boon which has at last been conferred
upon the two provinces. We hear nothing Of any
confirmation Of The report respecting the immediate
departure Of Governor Thomson.
