RELATIVE GROWTH AND PROGRESS
OF THE CANADAs AND THE UNITED
STATES.

Below will be found some very interesting
statistics, which are extracted from the Mon
treal Transcript. They relate to the popula
ton, products, and industrial pursuits Of the
Canadas.
The Transcript undertakes to show by means
of them that the growth and prosperity of Up
per Canada, taking it from 1900, has been
nearly thrice that of the United States. So
unexpected statement is well calculated to
astonish.
We have not the time to examine infinitely
into these statistics. They are certainly inter
esting, and will well repay an attentive perusal.
Our readers can as well Judge of the correct
ness of the data, and the differences deduced
from them, as we ourselves can. To our readers
we therefore submit them; only remarking that
they contain some remarkable statistical devel-
opments, and some very astonishing deductions:
We have received the first report of the
secretary of the board OF registration and sta
tistics on the census of the Canadas. We be-
lieve that the labors of this board will turn out
OF the highest advantage to Canada, by show
ing her wherein her real wealth, power, and
strength lie. The secretary, Mr. William Hut
ton has begun his work well and, if he carries
1t on in the same spirit, we shall have nothing
to complain of, but much cause on the contrary
for congratulation. The annexed extract will
give good insight of the present report:
1t is believed that very general feeling
prevails, not only in the Mother Country, but
even in Canada, that her growth and prosperity
are not commensurate with that of the United
States, and without any inclination to deny or
conceal the rapid progress Of our neighbors, it
may be well, by few facts, compiled from the
statistical returns, to prove how erroneous such
impression is-the growth Of Upper Canada,
taking it from the year 1900, having been
nearly thrice that of the United States.
According to the "World's Progress" a work
published by "Putnam, of New Y ork, !" in 1851,
the free population of the United States was,
in 1900, 5,305,925 in 1850 it was 20.250, 900,
lin 1910, it was 7,239,sl4,) thus in fifty years
its increase was not quite 400 per cent, whilst
that of Upper Canada was upwards of l,l0O
per cent for the 40 years, from 1911 to 1851.
Comparing the last decade of Upper Canada
with that of other countries, exclusive of Aus
tralia and California, we arrive at the follow
ing result:
The total number ofinhabitants in the United
States, on the lst of June, 1850, according to
the census report, was 23,263,4S8 but it has
been shewn that the probable amount of popu-
lation acquired by territorial additions should
be deducted in making comparison between
the last and former census These diminish
the total population of the country as basis of

State all my sympathies we're with Them that
in distributing the public patronage, preference
should be given to the true and faithful of the

pure and enlightened statesman, General Cass.

have politically more confidence.
JOHN B. WELLER.
The necessity imposed on the honorable and
distinguished Senator from California for writ.
ing the above letter, is an emphatic practical
comment on the course that has been pursued
BY some OF the presses of the country, towards
the national democrats and all who sympathize
with them.
The moment a free citizen of this country,
whether dgnifed Senator from sovereign
State, or an humble person without the inhu.
ence of official station, dares to express his
sympathy with, and approval of the New York
national democrats, and to denounce the free.
soil faction in the same State, that moment il
is sought to hunt down and spear him. The
favorite way of destroying him is to give it out
that he is a sworn foe to President Pierce and
the policy to be indicated in his message.
We have oil along denounced those who have
thought fit to pursue that course. The moment
Senator Weller's letter to the national demo
Gratis was spread before the country it was at
| tempted to emasculate ito deprive it Of al
influence, to counterfeit its effect by representing
him as factious opposer of the President and
his policy. What was done to him had been
done to all the presses and individuals who had
the manly independence to express their sym
pathy with the national democrats of New
York-their disapproval of the expulsion Of
Judge Bronson from offce-the malignant per-
secution of Mr.. Dickinson and the infamous
spoils doctrines of the Van Buren, faction.
Senator Weller but repeats in his letter in the
Union what he had before written to the New
York meeting. He complains of the same in.
justice that we have complained of-that the
New York democracy have complained of.
We stand now precisely where we have all
along stood. Nothing has moved us-nothing
shall.

you have inferred from this that i had :" united

taken. have no doubt this administration
will be conducted upon democratic principles,
