The people who settle in it must be independent; they must become nation that they may do good to the world.
 An independent people only can bring forth to the world lis resources and inslrumenaiiles for good'- We should if we had il c;eok its grow tn aud onward course: all our colonies are kept in thai staIe-ihey are made subordinate that patronage may supply to oul mobility the vitality lhat could otherwise strength en and dlluse it's life and fralulness in lis own and fitting atmosphere. c0lenv o us, as Il people, IS a snccker, noi a healthy supply--t is dependant. 10 be sustained lrom our strength, and quarrsed about with and it's neighbors-a drain upon national purse when young, demanding outlay for prpicc- lion propnrtoued o it's distance, and its ne ghbor- hood to rival nations. lt Is warren for pa.- ronage when il grows in strength; and, in the nature ot th,ngs, II arrives at muiurity, bursts the swaddling incumhramces of the mother counii f. and requests she will be good enough to mind her aflars and leave II tO itself. We were unable, when, had lhe command oi the ocean, and our population could he made mad fer Church and King, to continue ourselves masters of the American colo nies and now, nation, they will have all the ad- vanages in the next war il our rulers are mad ugh to excite it. We shall have ali the disadvantages of the revolutionary war and many 10 bear up against. The Americans have many advantages which they did moi then possess-we many disad- vaniages under which we did not then labor We sha Il have he same distance to convey troops and stores, and better navy their part Ia intercept and annoy them. We had thena united, unlniormcd people who were ignorant of political ecanomy-who needed only hireling, like poor Dibdin and others, 10 write warke songs about "Ben Blocks" and ''Ben Buntng," 'Jolly Sailors" and "God Ga- lore :" "Brtons shall be slaves, &c; but now our rulers have to dn with thoughlful population. who below the middle classes, are not contcnted, | and who knew that they ihe victims of glory that their lives are sacrificed for that which they take to be only misery in feathers and wnrsed shoulder knots, recommended 10 them by the cat.n-nine tails. We had, in l775, the power of subsldsing German | I, ,d, fhaph alnnI, ln,H sbedders. Those petty princes would sell their serfs to lhe work of blood against colony the Gernans, Prussans, and Belgians will not do now against a nation and people with whom they have conl- mel cd relations, and Ia whom our folly will open the opportunity of extending them, and who will as rivals, secretly encourage and assist them by their commerce., If they do not openly aid them, The world has been reSolulionzed since l783. and representatives talked the other night, as though they had forgotten, wish To forget il; but of wIAt is rheir keeping il out OH of sight, un- less the Americans were ignorant of II!
 We have Ireland not well affected, and she is one third ol physical force but doubtless Sir Robert by mounting their prieslhood on our shoulders, giving Us both Sinhad and his mother to carry, think he has quoted them and choked of O'Connell, and sal
 s6ed the English by requiring them To carry double, because he has taken the duty off diri diti and al- lowed butter to come when il has been iarred and turned into greese, that the people may eat it We will not enter inlo this halucinaipn, it would eau 10 loo ~iue d utpHIiuTe TOiH present point -Ihe impullcy, say wlckednes, of with America, for ritoiy which we could not manage
 if we had it.
 We have il national debt six times the amount of that which our glorious rulers had incurred for Us before the commencement ofihe American revolu ion ary war. II was one hnndred and twenty ight mill lions in l775-it is eight hundred millions now; and that people have organized government, are free liom national debt, and only need such war 10 n- duce them 10 submit to the taxation necessary to raise largely the munitions of war; and, whatever danger they nay be threatened with from raising their black population against them, they will see they will be than oubalanced by their invasion and indictment ol the Canadians They will discern the absolute necessity oi a seaboard: they lhe value of it Our seamen managed by severity and loggng, will not fight with the spirit of old Tor | the spirit has been changed and cannot be aroused | in the same degree by such means, aud the means have not been changed. Temptations will be held to soldiers desert, and the balance of evil will be largely against If successful, what should gain2 country could not people with the rapidity necessary 10 maintain it; whilst the Amerl- cans have an advancing population suited 10 the eli mae and ready ofchoce, struggle wiih the difhcul ties of settlers. If we would give freedom com merce, that country would be good customer as a nation, but cooniss they would he almost in | eXbaustlble drain upon resources A war on l the subject would involve d waste oi blood and ol
 life, win millsone: besides that, such Il collision would lead 10 blockakes, and blockades produce a l European war.
