these nsnsces failed to produce the desired effect.

Their cnllinps md professions are as follow:

The reason Of the Lower Canadians being at
the head Of the ist is 10 be found in two cireum-
stanees-the long time the country has been set
tied and the fact that but few new corners remain
among them, and therefore they form the great
kuIk OF the population. The reason why the law
vers figure SO largely in the House is, that they
are better educated and more pushing than any
other class. Under the general terms advO-
"cates and attornes" are sometimes included
two distinct c sses; but very frequently the func
tons Of advocate and attorney are united IN the
same person. As matter Of fact, there are more
editors than have named; but the oyerplus fol-
low some other occupation-are mostly lawyers
II some hind or degree. OF the farmers, the ma
jority are from Lower Canada.
There ia no speaker Of note or reputation In the
House. The man who above all Others produces
the greatest effect by his speeches, is the fallen
premier, Mr.. Hincks The common-sense views
be- takes Of every subject; the energy with which
he cniorces his opinions; his familiar acquaintance
with all questions that come before the House,
and particularly those of financial and CONNER
cial nature; these qualities, spite his fall from
power, give him an Influence IN the Assembly
which no other single man possesses. There are
over twenty Ronges, as they are called; but not
one of them ever discloses a republican idea; and
the only man Of that way Of thinking, though not
of that party, who avows his opinions on all occa
sion. In season and out Of season, is the Hon.
Hamilton Merritt, an American by birth, in feeling
and everything else. OF the other four Ameri-
cans In the House, two--Mr. Dewitt, banker Of
Montreal, and Mr. Ssnbcrn, lawyer, who repre-
seuts mainly an English population in the eastern
townships--have retained their repubhcanism,
and are both avowed annexationists, which Mr.
Merritt is not. OF the other two Americans, Mr..
Niles and Mr.. Stevenson, the former belongs to
the liberal party, is no republican or annexation
ist and the latter is about good Tory as II Is
possible to fnd-being one Of the little band OF
sixteen anti-seeularizers.
