This is the secret of the | excitement in Canada. Itis an offshoot of the eld grudge which has always existed between France and England, and which was attempted to be patched up by the entente cordial, and for which | there was no cure in Canada, but either a dissolu- tion of the union between Upper and Lower Can- ada, or a federal union of all the British American provinces. This feeling of mortification was in- | creased, because the party in the majority possess, | not only the power of the government, but the dis- tribution of office and emolument also, which, pre vious to the union, was vested in the British. No measure which the French mejority might adopt, no matter how beneficial it mght be to the iate- rests and wellare of the Canadas, will meet with favor from the British. This party is ruled, and governed, and led, by such menas MacNab and Prince, and a number of poverty-stricken, arro- gant, and insolent half-pay army and navy officers, and their relatives, scattered throughout the pro_ vince, who impudently think that they par excellence were born to be the rulers of the world, and that the opinions, judgments, wishes and convictions of all others, must give way to their haughty pre- | tensions. The great mass of the party are igno- rant and benighted in an extreme degree. They denounced the French, and swore and asseverated im vnintelligible English, that they would not be go} verned by the French, because their leaders say the ‘same; they, with a blasphemous oath, that would shock the sensibilities of an infidel, swore that they would not pay a copper of the rebellion bill, because they were told by their leaders that it would go into the pockets of French rebels, and that they, individually, would have to pay a bushel of wheat or a dollar, in their wretched currency, | if it be not resisted; they insisted upon the neces- sity of fighting to the death, ifnecessary, to regain * thew rights Britons, of the provincial government, because their leac. ers told them they must doso. But there is no use in pureumg the matter further—in a few | words, the mass of this famous British party | are ignorant and besotted ; know as much about | Jegitimate end constitutional freedom as a cow does of the Fourth ot July; and are led and | directed by a few designing, aristocratic, po- | verty-stricken, and insolent army and navy | officers, who ridiculously imagine that they were bora, and have inherited an indisputable right, to govern the whole universe. The creatures who eompose the leaders know full well what their fate | would be, were Canada annexed to the United | States. They know well that enlightenment and | education would soon succeed ; that independent | journalism would soon be established among them ; | that an inundation of intelligent, free and equal Amecricans—real men, who estimate their fellows aecording to their real worth—would pour in upon them ; and that they and their contemptible and | haughty pretensions would be swept out of ex- imtence by the besom of American republicanism. ‘This they know, and hence they never spoke of the | * St * except with a sneer about Yankees and | slavery, and a monkeyish grin about woodea nut- merge. But if those leaders of the famous British party look down with an aflected and supercilious | e@ontempt onus poor Yankees, we have at least some coneolation in our miseries.

If we are correct in our deductions, drawa from obser vations made on the spot, itis clear and evident that there wasno desire ia Upper Canada for se- vering the connection between those provinces and England, and being annexed to the repubhe of the United States. The propriety oa our part of taking them into the Union, were they inclined to be annexed, is another point which we shall say a few words about at the close of the article.

We won't be ruled by the French; we will put them down.” This gentle- man is a member of the celebrated League, and no doubt epoke the sentiments of all his confreres tush party in the lower province 1s composed of— that they are precisely the same in sentiment, pre- judiee, ignorance, and arrogance, as the same party in Upper Canada. . | Of the Tribune; and very frequently f thousand: gambling houses !"—* Brothel’s depravity !—these 1 “Unmeasured servility wo slivery !"— are the philosophical terms which he applies to us, for simply stating that the daily eirculation of the Herald 1s far, far beyond thet of the Tribune, a fact which he even admits, in his own columns of ubuse, il-temper, and ill-manners. We shall not reply in the same strain. We shall treat him as a sober, sensible being, who occa- sionally wears a new hat, sometimes puts on a pair of new pantaloons, and, at remote intervals, has his boots blacked, like a man and a Christian. ‘The following is a statement published, of the circulation of the two papers, after an investiga- tion, about two years ago. It is taken from the ‘Tribune itself:i— NEW YORK HERALD, THE TRIBUNE, Average Daily issue, 10.711 Average Daily issue, 11,155 Weekly. .. 11465.

Of course he could not go, but was doubtless expected to write a letter, giving the reasons of his absence, and a brief exhortation of “heads up!’ to the party. All thishe has done, in that ambiguously comprehensive style which, wiule it satisties a specific object, provides against an obnoxious interpretation. Lere it is:-- Grxrtemen :—Your letter, inviting me to participate in the celebration of the recent Anaiversary of Inde- pendence, by the whig citizens of Pkiladelphia, was re- ceived when i was eo intensely engaged in professional duties at Canandaigua as to preveut ine from readering a reasonable acknowledgment. | cannot now perforin that deferred duty without expressing my conviction of the truthfulness and justice of the views of the r= lbllttios ot the whig party, which you have ex- hibiter Experience has shown that the counsels of that party lead to domestic prosperity, while they are im- ued with national moderation and mugaauimity, But there is now openieg # feld of politcal action hitherto unexplored by parties, and unmeasurably an- trodden by statesmen.
