"The Canadian Situation"

The smallpox in Montreal and the Rel
nsurrection in the Saskatchewan country
have furnished a pretext Of which the
Orange and ultra-Bntish elements in Cana
da have but too cheerfully availed them
selves to reyile, calumniate, and prosecute
the French element, which, although in
minority, is in the right. A portion OF the
press of the United States has, strangely
enough, given its sympathy to the perse-
cutors and Joined the Orange press in the
work Of persecution.
On Sunday last the Washington Post con-
tanned an elaborate editorial under the
above caption which demands notice in the
interest Of truth and justice. The writer be-
gins with the statement that

posed the Quebec act, By this the Dominion
was divided into Upper and Lower Canada,
the government of Upper Canada being thor
oughly and entirely English, that of Lower
Canada fundamentally French, with an invest
ment of legal power in tSe church, which is
hardly less strictly enforced to-day than II was
then,
"Ihe late unhappy rebellion" was the
American revolution. "The Quebec act'' was
enacted in 17Ti, and 1t carried out the proyi-
slons Of the treaty of cession, giving the
French the right guaranteed them-the right
to their religion, property, &c. Pitt opposed
this act. The attitude Of the Americans made
It necessary to put an end TO the military
despotism then IN operation TO prevent the
Canadians from joining the Americans in
their agitation which brought on the revo'
luton. This was the object Of the "con
stitutonal act'' of l79l,
There were In 1871 $1,000 people OF non
