bors, resisted the proposed articles Of union
by all the means in their power.
The peaoe Of EdinbuRg wss freqaeutly dis
turbed, the lives Of the union advocates
threatened anc the honss of thar favorite
Provost, Sir Patrick Johnston, assailed.
| Petitions from neatly al parts Of the
country poured in to the parliament against
the measure, and we have abundant evidence
to prove that the union was affected BY any
thing but fair dispaaslonate legislation "A
quotation or two from the petition Of the
Church and the Royal Burrows OF Scot

the opposition.

The following passage occurs in the

"By the proposed union our monarchy

When FIRST mooted the opposition TO the
union was formidable, but in its competition
there was one element destined 10 render it
impotent and that was the subject Of suc-
cessioD 70 the throne"
The country party, as II was called, in
their desire TO restore J ne e, waved bold in
their apparent success ia their opposition
10 the treaty, and became imprudent in their
language and measures and alarmed the
more sensitive Presbyterians who lad not
altogether forgotten the fiery ordeal THROUGH
which their couutry siad passed. Their po-
,-slE:vn became one Of great embarrassment.
To think of James, the woman drSwner, We
suppose they would just as soon think OF
Belzsbub, and, from necessity, to shake
hands with their ancient enemy was CALLING.
The latter proved the milder horn OF this d.
lemms. Verify, "There is divinity which
shapes our ends, rough-hew them how We
will"
Thus we see the crowns Of two Kingdoms,
in the fuIlness Of hope, united in one family,
and the closer union Of the same kingdoms
/ brought shout BY the maladministration OF
| the same family. HWhomsoever God hath
| Joined together let no man separate"

There is no office connected with the gov
eminent closed against the Scotchman save
one, and that 10 the Bank Of England. John
Law, the progenitor Of one OF our worthy
merchants here 10 Chicago, was virtually the
founder of that institution, and whether, as
that gentleman says, his scheme was not un-
derstood or that something defective per-
tained 90 the project, is still matter Of dis-
pute. In, consequence Of duel be bad to

noa, from which cities be was banishsd as a
designing adventurer, but In l720 Law was
made comptroller Of finance in Fraoce, and
