1t has become evident to all that not only is
Canada under the circumstances OF her present Tei

opinion, to place what is practically an utlhatum
the Imperial Parliament. They demand compensation
by-gone INJURIES and guarantee against invasion Ior
the future These claims are il Is said TO be argued ny

to place matters upon just and reasonable footing the
time will have to pack our trunk ana start III we

interests, without the family circle. . -
This the course which Britain evidently mas TOT some

to be every probability that SHALL with one accord
