Canadian nIalIerss

The conflict between the ultra lOyallsts and the
French, or revolutionary party, IN the Canadian
Parliament, has ended, and the result is a COM
plete and perfect triumph of the latter over the
former The bill compensating losses incurred
during the attempted rebellion or revolution of
1887, has been passed by triumphant majority,
notwithstanding the resolutions, meetings, threats,
and dark intimarons OF Reputation, resist
ance, end every thing else which the loyal anti
French party threatened, Parliament, and out Of
1t, IN debate, and at meetings, IN Montreal and
elsewhere.
Matters have now reached a crisis in Canada.
The ultra-loyaists-the most loyal and affection
ate subjects of Queen Victoria--those who con-
slider rebellion against the Queen and crown of
Great Britain the most infamous, detestable and
abominable crime that could be committed,
have been defeated in their Parliament; and
II there Is any 'pluck" in them, they will proceed
to carry out their threats. They must call upon
their four thousand men, Gin buckram,) who at
tended the meeting at Montreal the 18th ult..
which day the Montreal Courier said evil be
day ever to be remembered the annals OF
Canada as the day from which the future historian
may date the emancipation OF the British colonies
from the imposition of foreign laws and foreign |
masters" They must cali On the people OF British
origin, who the same paper informs US, "roused
by the grievous sense OF meditated wrong, have
rsen in their strength, determined that their voice
shall be heard''-the men of whom the same
paper states "iour thousand finer, stronger, more
energetic, or determined men, never were col
lected before in one room in that country, and
who, with arms IN their hands, could sweep the
streets of that city from end Of to the other"

carry out their threats "wlth arms IN their hands,"
and prove to the world, if they are not dastards,
that the seventeenth Of February the day on which
their celebrated meeting was held, will be ga day
from which the future historian may date the
emancipation OF the British colonies from the I'M
position of foreign laws and foreign masters"
They must do this, or acknowledge before the
world that they are not only defeated by their
foreign masters, but that they have dlsgraced
themselves In the opinion Of the world. 1t Is
eeJecian.jj imperative on them TO do so, from the
fact that an amendment to the bill which we have
referred to, declaring that of the money pro-
vlded for by it should be paid to "any persons in
any manner duplicate in the rebellion of 1887, or
who refused when called upon to aid In suppressing
It," was rejected by strong vote. Now Is the
time for the loyaists indicate their "oyaIty to
their beloved sovereign" and to show their British
origin" But they dare not-they are defeated by
their opponents, and they are disgraced by them
Selves for they cannot dare not, attempt either to

The resolutions above referred 10 were passed
ON the night OF the twenty second OF February
asst. Now, In our humble opinion, the twenty
eecond, instead OF the seventeenth of February,
the day on which, In real earnest the historian
may date the emancipation Ut the British colonies
from the imposition Of toreign laws and foreign

bill contemplated other purposes besides paving a
few thousand pounds TO compensate for losses In.
