booty silently away to the woods.’
The following are Dr. Franklin’s
humorous remark?, as contain and in
on of h*s letters, concerning the

• Others object to the Bald Ea
gle,” says be, “'as looking too muci
like a Dindon, or Turkey. For my
own part,! wish the Bald Eagle had
not been chosen as the representa
tive of our country ; he is a bird of
a bad moral character; he docs not
get his living honestly, you may
have seen him perched on some dead
dree, where, too lazy to fish for him

Fwhing Hawk, and when that di
ligent bird has at length taker a fish
and is bearing it to its nest for the
support of his mate and young ones,
the Bald Eagle pursues him, and
takes it from him. With all this in
justice he is never in good case; bu'
Jike those among men. wiio live h_«

Kingbird, not hieger than a sparrow
at'acks him boldly, and drives him
out of the district, lie is, therefore,
by no means a proper emblem for
the brave and honest Cincinnati o!
America who have driven all tli
Kingbirds from our country; though
exactly fit for that order of Knights,
which the French call Chevalier
il'lndustrie. I am on this account
not displeased that the figure is not
known as a Bald Eagle, but looks
more iike a Tuikey. For in truth
the Turkey is, in comparison, a
much more r ?pectabie bird, and
withal a true oiigmal native of Amer

countries, but (he Turkey was pecu
liar to ours. He is besides, (though
a little vain and silly, tis true, hut
not the worse emblem for that,) a
bird of courage, and would not hesi
tate to attack a grenadier of the
British guards, who should presume
to invade his ‘arm yard with a red
coat on.”

TROUBLES IN CANADA.
Ther • appearstobe trouble among
our neighbours in Canada, as will be
seen by the Governor’s Speech pro
roguing the Legislature. VVe have
not followed with sufficient interest
the discussions o! that body to know
what are the pr cise points of dif
ference ; but the popular branch
have tuken very decided ground a
gaiust the King’s representative, by
the refusal of the ordinary supplies.
The Canadians a/- too near our l»or
ders to be very good subjects. Tne
contagion of popular institutions is
about as subtle and uucontrollihl ,
and by those whose craft it endan
gers. is deemed as perilous, as that
by which physical maladies propa
gate themselves. Eve y thing is
tending, as it seems to us, to the
breaking up, of the old European
system of colonizing ; and the Can
adas will nut, in our judgment, form
an exception tot the general resuh,
which at no very distant day will tie
witnessed oft he emancipation, (with
or w.thout the consent of the mother
countries) of all thfl European col
onics m the •western hemisphere.
Meantime, as to the Canadas, they
are gaining strength and wealth by
the expenditure which England is
making there; and if, as seems not
improbable, emigration thither on a
large scale, from Ireland shall be en
couraged, there will be superadded,
a numerous, active, and not ven
loyal population, (for those who have
only known the oppression of a gov
ernment, can hardly cling to it with
muen affection) ready on any change
or chance, to assert for themselves,
and in their own behalf, the doctrines
of perfect equality and self-govern
ment, of which they daily witness
the peaceful and successful opera
tion within our borders.
The Canadas, must, in the nature
of things, at some future day, fall
within the orbit of this Union
As this is a subject of much importance to
this country, we subjoin tiie entire speech:—
SPEECH:
Gentlemen of the Legislative Council;
Gentlemen of the Assembly—
“ 1 come to close this session ol
the Provincial Parliament, convinced
hy the sta'o of your proceedings,
that nothing liki ly to promote the
public interest can be now expected
from your deliberations
“ To you, Geitlenien of the Legis
lative Council, who have attended
your dut es in the Session, 1 offe
my thanks on the part of Ids Majes
ty, as an acknowledgment of the re
gard which, by your presence, you
lave shown to the welfare of your
country, and also of that proper r s
pect which you have manifested for
the Sovereign from whom your hon
ours are derived.
Gentlemen of the Assembly—
“ It is painful to me, that I cannot
speak my sentiments to you in terms
of approbation and thanks. The
proceedings of this Session impose
upon me a duty, of which, however
unpleasant, I will acquit myself as a
faithful Servant of my King, and a
sincere friend to the Province.
“ Many years of contained discus
sion on forms and accounts have
proved unavailing, to clear up and
set at rest a dispute, which modera
tion and reason might have speedily
terminated. It is lamentable to see
that no efforts or concessions of His
Majesty’s Government havesucce d
ed in reconciling those differences of
opinion in the Legislature ; but it is
infinitely more so, that differences on
one subject should cause a rejection
of every other measure which His
Majesty ( s Government recommends
to your consideration.
" The duties expected of you’in
this Session were not difficult: among
the first was an examination of the
public accounts of last year, and a
report upon them, whether of ap
proval or otherwise. Has that duty
been done, so that your country can
know the result 1
“ Have you considered the esti
mated expenditure for the current
year, and granted the supply requir
ed in His Majesty’s name ? or have
reasons been assigned for the refu
sal of them that cau he known and
understood by the country ?
“ Have the messages from His
Majesty’s representative been duly
acknowledged, and answered, accor
ding to the rules and forms of Parli
ament, or according with the respect
which is due by each Branch of the
Legislature to the others I
“ Have the rules or orders of the
vroceedings in the House of Assem
-Ily been duly attended to, in so fa*
as they recognize the prerogativt
rights of the crown 1
“ These are questions, gentlemen,
which you are now to ask yourselves.
Individually, and answer to your con
stituents on your return to them.
“ These are questions which you
are to answer to your own conscien
ces, as men who are bound by oaths
of fidelity to your country and to
your king.
“ In my administration of this gov
ernment, I have seen seven years
pass away without any conclusive ad
justment of the public accounts;
thus accumulating a mass for future
investigation, which must lead to
confusion and misunderstanding. In
the same years I have seen the meas
ures of government directly nppiica
hie to the wants of the Province,
thrown aside without attention, and
without any reason assigned. I have
< een the forms of Parliament utterly
disregarded ; and in this session a
positive assumption of Executive
authority, instead of that of Legisla
tive, which last is alone your share
in the constitution of the state.
“ 'Plte results of your proceedings
in this session have been, the refu
sal of the supplies necessary for the
ordinary expenses of government,
tho loss of the militia bill, the failure
of all provisions for the maintenance
of prisoners in your gaols and houses
of correction, for the support 0 f in
sane and foundlings, and for the es
tablishment of education and chari
ty. and a total obstruction of local
nnd public improvement
“ In this state of things, and with
this experience of past years.it is now
no longer consistent with a proper
d'seharge of the high trust commit
ted to me, to entertain hopes of a re
turn to better reason in the repre
sentative branch of this Parliament;
but it it still my duty to call on you
as.puhlic men, and to call upon the
country, as deeply interested in the
result, to consider seriously the con
sequences of perseverance in such a
course.
“ I shall conduct the government
with the means in my power, with
an undiminished desire to de good;
hut while I must submit myself to
the the interruption of all public im
provement, under the authority of
the civil govrenment, I will declare
my deep regret at such a state of
things: I think it right to convey to
the country, a free and unreserved
expression of my sentiments upon
these public misfortunes; and 1 will
leave no doubt on the public m nd
of my determination to perserve
firmly in the path of my duty, with a
faithful regard to the rights of mv
sovereign, with which are also com
bined the best interests of the Pro
vince.
“It only remains for me now
compelled by existing circumstances
to prorogue this Parliamen*, what
ever may he the inconvenience re
sulting to the Province from such a
measure.”
