call triumph have paid dearly--every step

You must not think have been cruel by

There were springs Of ambition in my ma

Daily national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1854, 1854-07-03

Of prosperity consider the enormous progress
which the United States had made In their in
Vulnerable railroads, their well-appointed and
well-diseiplined army--an advantage which
they did not formerly possess, for they conduct
cd the war in 1914 with mere rabble. Con-
sidering the increased strength and appliances
at the commend Of the United States, it would
hardly be possible to defend Canada with any
hope Of success The very idea Of . war with
the United States was horrible. The event
would be one Of the greatest evils; one Of the
direst Of human Affections. Connected as we
arc 10 oil the details of commerce, 1t would be
more like tearing asunder the limbs OF one hu-
man body than the collision Of two separate
bodies. Why, needlessly, increase the chances
of war Our brethren ON the other side OF the
Atlantic are very ambitious, and extremely
sensitive ON the point Of honor. So were we (;
and we were also extremely sensitive on the
point of justice. Not only would we not en-
dnrc Injustice to ourselves, but we could not
tolerate The preparation of injustice to another
These considerations should lead us to re-
gard a rupture with the United States as an
event which might happen at some period
Under these circumstances he hoped that, at
an early period, the Government would COM
municate with the leading persons in the Legis
lative Assemblies Of the North American colo
MES, with the view Of ascertaining their opinion
on the subject Of a separation. We should
consult with them in the most friendly spirit
as if they were members Of one and the same
family, in which we felt deep concern.
The Duke of Newcastle retorted, that he was
astonished that the Earl Of Peterborough
should PROFOUND opinions which would be as
unpalatable to the peopl( 4 the Colonies as
they were to their lordships Of that House. He
the Duke of Newcastle) would inform the no.
tile Earl that he did not belong to Govern
ment which would consent to making such
proposals to the people Of Canada. For his
part, he looked upon such proposal as On Of
fence against the dignity and sovereignty Of
Britain, and hostile to the best interests of the
colonists
Lord Brougham asked why the Duke Of
Newcastle should SO vehemently denounce the
proposal of the separation of these colonies from
the parent State? The proposal was not novel.
1t had boon entertained and expressed by many
eminent men. For himself he would respect
fully recommend to the people of Canada so to
select the members of their second Chamber,
that that Chamber should not be more du-
plicate of the Lower House.
The Duke of Newcastle replied, that the bill
was mere ennobling bill, and there was moth
ing in it to prevent the local Legislature from
electing the members of the Upper House for
life, or for certain number Of years.
The bill was then read q second time

la compliano with the general usage, the
office Of the National Era will be closed to-mor-
row, and no paper will be issued. We say, in
compliance with the general usage, regarding
this as the easiest way to avoid controversy
that might otherwise arise
We could indeed exult that Declaration of
Independence vas this day declared, avowing
that all men are created equal that they
are endowed W their creator with certain I'M
aIienable rights; that among these are life,
LIBERTY, and the pursuit Of happiness" and
that it is to secure these rights that govern
mentS are instituted among men, deriving their
just pos0ers from the consent Of The governed"
We could also exnlt that among the reasons
avowed in this Declaration for the step thus
taken was the fact that the King of Great
Britain had deprived our fathers, in many in
stances, Of IN benefits Of trial By jury"
We say we could exult at these things; but
surely we caniot exult that all these declara-
tons have been repudiated by the Southern
portion of the Republic, and that the whole
instrument has been by champions of the South
denominated a sclfevident lie!"
We notice that some persons contemplate
observing the anniversary as day Of mourn
ing, and that they are bitterly denounced
therefor If they choose to contemplate the
darker aspect Of the subject we cannot see
how they can do otherwise than mourn. But
we are optimists, and shall rejoice. Our sub
jects Of contemplation shall bc, not the misera-
Bile, evanescent triumphs of a bloated, over
reaching Slave Power, soon to be rebukcd and
overwhelmed by the united voice of millions
Of freemen, but the conceded truths that all
men are created equal;n that they are en-
lowed by their Creator "with certain I'M
alienable rights" and that among these
rights are "life, LIBERTY, and the pursuit
# happiness" and, relying upon these truths,
we will rejoice and hope, looking forward
with confidence to the day in which the con-
temner of our glorious Declaration of Inde-
pendence shall be exccrated, as a self-evident
migrate and monster, and degraded to so low
depth of infamy, that even the scorn- of his
countrymen can never descend to him.
