My thanks-and not only mine, but the thanks of the
country-are due you for the manner in which you
have conducted your paper and your untirng vigilance
in guarding the interests of democratic principles.
The democratic party is paying their penalty
the loss of power for four years Yet when review
the great things which the administration, going out
of power. has for the country, we find that they

CANT, of party power. The power lost must
long be rc,aned from the workings of the natural causes
influencing human action. If the last democratic admin
istraton had effected less for the country than the
coming wing administration will do, il might be difficult
to predict the time when democracy will be in the
well, they cannot hope 10 do as much in the coming
four years the present administration has done for the
United States the preceding four years.

The Brush Canadian population are heartily
tired OF French domination, and would gladly EN-
brace any scheme that would untetter Them from
the yoke Of barbarous ignorance which at present
enthrals them.
One plan ID, to unite the entire British provinces
usder one general government; another is. to an
mex US TO- your great republic; and the last, nut
loudest idea, IS TO reconquer and beat them a
civilized and advanced state OF this go ahead era.
The feudal tenure and French laws are a great
curse u Lower Canada, but OF these the SENT civil
med french complain not, but the Saxon does,
and OF the impediments which the Frenchmen OBJ
stinately opposes to improvements. The taxes of
Lower Canada are light, and generally indirect,
and imposed upon articles rarely used by the
French native. The peasantry manufacture al
most all the material of their clothing, raise their
own tobacco and sugar. One fifteenth OF certain
agricultural produce belongs, by law, to the Ro.
man Catholic prlest; this religious impost does
not apply 10 other denominations, 30 that when
protestant becomes the tenant or purchaser OF a
farm, the church loses this hen. Each time pro-
perry, under seignorial tenure, changes owners the
Seigneur legally claims per centage, which II
not paid, the ploperty-is saddled with this teudal
lee. In Canada West, or Upper Canada, the en-.
tire taxes to the agilculturist is only about two
pence in the pound. and in some of the cities the
corporation taxes are about one and three pence IN
the pound. 1t behoOves all who are complaining
oil our colonial taxes, to reflect Of the impOsts they
only the State taxes have to be raised. but also
those tor the support of the general government
1t Is impossible to deny, or conceal, that the
Anglo Saxon will not much longer submit to the
CALLING chain and degrading domination of Gallo
supremacy. The pre- sent antagoDistlc feeling
which exists between the two races must be over
come, sooner or later, by either entire revolu-
ton Of the present governmental policy, or by a
ply cal force encounters look out for stirring
time ahead. Yours, Z.
