Since the reb« lion of 1887, ne political movement has occuried, at all comparable to that which at this moment agitates the breast of every man, from Gaspe to Sandwich, who cen read, talk, or think. After the vindictive spirit and bloody desires of the tories bad been. in :+me measure, cheeked by the strong hand of the Gritish goverament, and the ‘ritation produced by the revolt had nearly died awey, jvdicious reforms, and the enxiety and wil- inguess expressed by the home government to grant all reasonable requests, restored confidence to the discontented, and revived the instinctive oyalty ef the colonies. But, es soon as responsi. ble government was fully conceded, the liberals come into power. The old faction, known here as the “ femily compact,’ that hud revelled in sll the abuses of a corrupt and tyrennical system for many years—in fect, from the settlement of the Upper provice, Were obliged to go to the wall. Great was their wrath and disappoiatment. They had been accustomed to rule—ivey were the nobility, the aristccracy of Canada ; and to be compelled to yield the vems of government to plebeian hands, | to obey where they were wont to command, was unbeareble. They oceupied nearly al! the offices of test and emolument in the country. Pecula- tion and robbery hed been goiog on im many of them for years, and ihe delinquents saw the day of reckoning at hand. Of coure, they were indig- nant at the liberals, or reformers, as they were called. The Aug stable had to be cleansed ; but, no sooner did the process begin, than a most furious how! was set up by the whole pack against the now dominant party. Diey abused the home government fix bavny routed the people the nght to call them to au aceount, aud the power to punish them. They accused ihe waole liberal party of being rebels, because u iew of nei supporters had been implicated im tic outoveak ot 87. They charged the liberals with bewy republicans im poli+ tics, and ifidels in retigion, becavse they (the tones) were not eliowed to govera the couatry and use the puoi. y jose as they liked, and | to appropriate ove-sevenii ot all the land in the province to the suppor of Stote chureh, to which, 48a Muller of course, these pious office-holders belonged. A desp-raic effort was made, uader the regime of Si Chales Metcalie, to oust the liberals, and to get themselves back into power; but though, by viviewce aad corruption, success Was oblained fora moment, the people, at the last election in 1845, huied chem out tuully aad tor ever.

The origin and past history of a large majority of the liberal party, as I have just shown, wiil readily account for this. A few recent converts from the tory ranks, who, with adimrable sagacity, discovered where the cod things had gone to, and, singularly enough, ave succeeded in elbowing themselves into the tugbeet offices, to the exclusion of the old leaders of the liberal party, mouth, and bluster, and threaten u good deal about “getung all we ever asked,” “ingratitude,” * loyalty,” “refuse to give up without spilling rivers of bleed,” &c., &c.; but it wou’i do. Such preaching is expected from them, end nobody pays attention to it. But, secondly, the withdrawal of protection from our produce by Great Britain, and the neglect to obtsin ge ocity fom your government as an equivalent, hes not only taken away all the ad- vaniage which people felt from the connection with the mother country, but has imposed positive dis- advanteges vpon us, which are regarded as a heavy burden. High salaries—the possession of ever by thore who call themselves their leaders, but are, in fact. tories in disguise—old detaulters retained in office, and very doubtful hberals ap- pointed when vacancies do occar—unnecessar} and badly frwmed laws passed, aad a weak, vacil- lating policy in every department of the govern- ment, ate pot likely to mdece the liberal party to oppose ennexation. They are well aware that if that event do tke plats, they, as a party, will be 1p an overwhelming majority, and al the advan- tages of place and power would atill belong to them. Lookimg ot the matter, therefore, in a party ight, the liberals, although nominatly, at least, in seession of the government, and uke ly to retain it for some time if they choose, are in favor of the movement, if itean be achieved without blood. | 1 have thus endeavored to give your readers a view of the real posiiion and true feeliags of the two gieut political parues in Upper Canada, Tespects this questi fhe ** Rebellion Losses bil,” avd the ery of “ French domination,” in the Upper Province, at all events, are mere pretexts In Lower Canada, ihe line that divides the two ! wurties is more plauwily marked. ‘The bulk of the iver) party are Canadians of French origia, speaking the French jauguege.

A small | of the liberal party think if we had recipro- city, we could wet on very well as we are ; that it weuld be treating the mother country shabbily, after she bes given us all we asked, to turn round and “show her the door.” Besides, if annexat were desirable, they dislike the idea of joining with the tories ond Montreal houseburners to ob- taih it, But their numbers are not great nor their yeasons Very cogent.

The custom house officials are, as a mate ter of course, ull tories, except in the cases in which vacancies have occurred since the present government came into power. These things, alse, have no trifling eflect in making all men (the offi- cials excepted) desire a thorough change. A protest, got up by a few lawyers, judges, and office expectants, agamnst the Montreal manifesto, is being circulated for signatures ; but hundreds, whose loyalty has never before been questioned, Tefused to sign it. The concocters held a private meeting, to consider what was best to be done, wad they all agreed that it would be unsafe to risk a public meeting!’ What would become of them, if they should be outvoted? It was also contended by several, and agreed to, that it would be dan- gerous to attempt to reason with the annexationists, “* if we reason,” said a tory lawyer, “we are lost” The first election since the open movement in Montreal, is soon to take place. The vacancy oc- curs, in coygequence of the creation of the new chancery cOurt, (of three judges,) and the elevae tion of Mr. Blake, late Solicitor General, to the Chancellorship. Mr Blake wasa fierce tory in 183%; turned reformer in 1843 ; was elected a representa- tive by a reform constituency, in 1848; was made for generel; sat one session in parliament; made one speech, defending the rebels of 1837, | whom he had helped to put down, and denouncing the tories as traitors, murderers, Se ; brought in + constitute a new Court of Chancery, with | two additional judges, and as soon as it became | a Inil to jaw. got himeell appointed chancellor, overthe head of the old chancellor, his senior in yearound at the bar. | His constituents, as may well be supposed, are in high dudgeon.
