THURSDAY MORNING May SO. I**7
The Dominion of Canada-
Queen Victoria ha* !■»««• » •’ roc **'
nation declaring the union of the British
Provinces, into a government to be
known as the Dominion of Canada. It
includes Upper "*d Lower Canada,
Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick-
According to the bill authorising this
confederation, the Senators who will
constitute the upper house in the new
Parliament, are to be appointed by the
Queen; and the cable dispatches an
nounce that a list of those appointed ac
companies the royal proclamation. The
new Confederation is popular, and it is
not improbable that the remaining
British provinces in North America will
sooner or later, seek to enter the same
alliance. The union has evidently beeu
entered into voluntarily, as no remon
strance, or even advice, has been offered
to those provinces who choose to remaiu
under their old forms of government.
Apart from any fancied military
security which this confederation affords,
there will be unquestionable commer
cial advantages to the whole country,
while, as a government, that of the
Dominion of Canada will necessarily be
of more importance than that of any
colony or province has hitherto been-
The revenue ot Canada some years
ago was $4,-129.152; expenditures,
£4,709,300; public debt, $51,517,180.
Since that period the liabilities have
somewhat increased. New Brunswick
has revenue of $375,000, and expends
$550,000, the treasury of Great Britain
making up the deficiency. Nova Sco
tia raises a revenue of about $700,000,
and dispenses a larger amount. The
British Exchequer pays the excess.
Newfoundland has a public debt ex
ceeding $600,000. Prince Edward's
Island expends about $70,000 a year,
which is amply supplied by revenues.
The territory included to the new
State has an area of about 400,000
square miles—Canada having about
320,000; New Brunswick 27,620; Nova
Scotia, 15,607; Cape Breton, 3,120;
Newfoundland about 36,000, and Prince
Edward’s Island, 2,134.
The New York Sun says the present
population of Upper Canada is 1,802,-
000; of Lower Canada, 1,288,000; of
New Brunswick, 295,084; and of Nova
Scotia. 368,781, making the total num
ber of inhabitants in the Dominion of
Canada, 3,753,865. The only provinces
on the eastern portion of the continent,
not included in the confederation, are
Prince Edwards Island, with a popula
tion of 91,000, and Newfoundland, with
a population of 130,000. The aggregate
population of the five British American
Provinces above mentioned is 3,976,244.
Only nine per cent, of this number is
Irish by birth, but it is estimated
officially, that about one million are of
Irish descent. The statements of
religious belief show that more than
forty four per cent of the entire popula
tion profess the Roman Catholic religion,
while only fifteen per cent belong to the
Church of England.
It may be set down in general terms
that the people of the western portion
of the new Dominion are, tor the most
part, occupied in agricultural pursuits,
those of the middle portion chiefly in
the lumbering trade, and those of the
eastern part in fisheries and shipping.
Manufacturing is a branch of industry
that has of late assumed a considerable
importance in the cities, while mining
operations have more recently engaged
a large share of attention and capital.
The Dominion of Canada begins its
career under highly auspicious circum.
stances. With extensive mineral regions
to explore, with agricultural resources
limited only by the energy of the people,
and with much political freedom, there

national greatness and prosperity, so
long as they keep at peace among
themselves and on good terms with
their neighbors.
Letter From Hon. Ellison S. Keitt.
The Columbia Phoenix contains a
letter from this well known gentleman,
in response to a request signed by
“ many of his constituents." for his
views on the political situation, from
which we extract the following, it
embraces some striking views in refer
ence to the doctrine of State sove
reignty, which appear to us logical and
conclusive :
The bills recently enacted by the
Congress of the United States for the
reconstruction and reorganization of
our State Government, by reducing
South Carolina to the position of a
conquered province fully justifies the
theory of the government which we
have ever upheld and maintained,
to wit: that sovereignty resides in the
people of all the States aggravated
individually in an entirety. A sovereign
State in the Union cannot be reduced
to the position of a conquered province
and be in the Union, tsouth Carolina,
a sovereign State, is reduced to the
position of a conquered province. She
cannot, therefore, be in ibe Union. A
sovereign State in the Union cannot
get out of it, except by her own volun
tary exercise of sovereignty. South
Carolina was a sovereign State in the
Union, and is now out of it. Site,
therefore, got out of it only by her own
voluntary exercise of sovereignty. For
a State to exercise sovereignty, sove
reignty must reside in her. South
Carolina, in getting out of the Union,
< x-rcised sovereignty; therefore sove
reignty must reside in her. Wherever
sovereignty resides there alone the
allegiance of the citizen is due. Sove
reignty resided in South Carolina;
therefore the allegi.nce of her citizens
was due alone to her. The conclusion
i.i iirosistable, that the bills recently
enacted by the Congmta of the United
States for the reconstruction and reor
ganisation of our State Government by
reducing South Carolina to the position
of a conquered province, expunges
from the statute books of our couutry
and the history ot our times every trace
of a charge of treason and perjury
against the heroic and gallant dead end
living who fought for the independence
of their State and self-government;
and it should be a source of siucere
congratulation among the friends ot
civil freedom and constitutional liberty
that the government, by the release
from prison of Mr. Davis, has shown a
will to carry them to their legitimate
conclusion, and has not let the escutch
eon of this great republic go down to
posteritv stained with the charge that
she denied a trial and kept in prison
until he languished and died a noble
citisen, because he obeyed the laws of
his Mate and imperilled his life and
fortune tor her independence and self
government.
The first one of the bills begins by
affirming that “no legal State Gov
ernment exists in South Carolina; that
is to say. South Carolina politically is
dead, but geographically she still lives
—the word State being two lold in its
signification. The bills then give in
detail the modus < perandi by which
political life may be infused into her
inanimate form, and she may be raised
to her fbrmer position of an independ
ent sovereign State in the galaxy of
Slates that compose the Union. Wheth
er or not all the provisions of the bills
are as wise and just as a brave and
gallant people might have expected
from a magnanimous foe and an enlight
eued statesmanship, is not for us to
pause and discuss, but for history to
tell, and upon which coming genera
tions will pass sentence, for it is not
alone upon ns that they are to make
their impress, but upon generations yet
unborn. To accept the bills is an im
possibility, for to accept implies the
right to reject, and as a vanquished
people, held down at the point
of the bavonet and edge of the
sword, we have no right or power to
reject: therefore we cannot accept. The
only thing left us is to bow courteously
to our fate—to submit to and carry out
the terms strictly and to the letter.
.Just as certain as sovereignty resides
in the people of the several States, and
South Carolina, by the interposition of
her sovereignty, withdrew from the
Federal Uuion, just so certain do the
Slates that remained in the Union con
stituie the Union, and the Government
is theirs, and they have a right to im
pose upon those that withdrew terms of
re-admission. Had the States that se
ce-eded and withdrew from the Federal
Union succeeded in establishing the
new Union and Government for which
they fought, they would have been
known among the powers of the earth as
the Confederate States, and the States
that remained in the Union would have
constituted the Union, and they would
have beeu known as the United States.
“ The ratification of the conventions of
nine States shall be sufficient for the
establishment of this Constitution be
tween the States so ratifying the same.’’
(Art. 11, Sec. 2, Con. U. S.) The act
of ratifying, then, created the word
Union, and the people severally of nine
States was sufficient to do it. There
was originally thirteen independent
sovereign States, and as the Constitu
tion declares that the ratification of the
conventions of nine only cf them was
sufficient to establish it between tbe
States ratifying, if the conventions of
only nine of the States had ratified it,
it would have been the Constitution be
tween the States ratifying, and the
Union would have been created. The
other four States, if they desired, could
have formed a different government or
governments, as each one acted volun
tarily and for itself, in its independent
sovereign character. Whatever is suf
ficient to create is sufficient to preserve.
Niue States alone was sufficient to
create the Union. Nine States alone,
therefore, is sufficient to preserve it,and
it can never be dissolved except by the
voluntary suggestion and withdrawal, in
their independent, sovereign character,
of a sufficient number of States, and the
establishment of the position they
assume, so as to reduce the number of
States that remain in the Union below
nine—the minimum number sufficient
to create and preserve the Union. The
penalty of the interposition ot State
sovereignly and withdrawal from the
Federal Union, and the failure to estab
lish the position assumed, is to be
crushed politically, afid remoulded arid
readmitted into the Union upon the
terms of those States that remain in and
constitute the Uuiou. This is the ordeal
through which we are now passing.
Just as certain as our is a Federal and
not a National Government—that sov
ereignty resides in the people of the
several States, and not in the people ol
all the States aggregated individually
in an entirety, and that South Carolina,
by her ordeal of secession, withdrew
from the Federal Union, just so certain
was ours a war for independence and
self government, and not an insurrec
tion or rebellion against lawful authority.
Ours being a Government in which
the will of the people can be known
through their representatives alone, just
after the surrender, when the President
imposed certain terms, we, supposing
them to be the final will and determi
nation of those against whom we fought
as he was their representative and not
ours, having been elected to his high
position by their suffrages and not by
ours, carried them out in good faith and
to the letter. In this we have been mis
led and disappointed. The terms that
come to us now, however, come from
the people of the several State? that con
stitute the Union through their imme
diate representatives, and there can be
no mistake- Let us take them in good
faith as their final will and determina
lion, and let U3 carry them out strictly
and to the letter. Let us not stand and
gaze listlessly at the wrecks and ruins
by which we are surrounded, hut let
each and all go to work manfully and
courageously, and uuild up the broken
and shattered fortunes of our country,
and, if possible, make Carolina more
resplendent in the future than she ever
was in the past. Away with all feuds
and bickerings among our people. Let
everv one who is allowed to vote register
and when the time cotnes, let him vote.
Let each and all who are dented a vote
unite their influence with those who are
allowed to vote, and put in office the
best men we can get, and let us estab
lish the best government possible, for it
will be the government under which we
will have to live. Let us act so as lo
ameliorate, as much as pessible, the
condition of both races and all classes
in the community, and, if possible,
advance the civilization of our age.
fihould the clock of time be rolled back,
let not the future historian lay it at our
door, anti record that we did it. Should
the opposite counsel prevail, and wild
commotion be added to our already
disordered Slate, anarchy may ensue.
Should this awful and dire calamity be
in store for us and befall our country,
nothing, no, nothing, could be more
fatal to civil freedom aud constitutional
liberty. The Government of tbe United
Bfates is now our Government. We
have no other. Tbe United States
flag is now our flag. We have no
other. Let us maintain and support
the one and assist in bearing aloft the
other, until tbe reveille drums of tue
Erinciples of this great republic are
card by a prosperous and happy
people in every part of this beautiful
earth which we inhabit, and her high
mission upon this earth is accomplished,
for she is the highest type and most
perfect system of government ever
devised by human genius and intellect.
While I would pause for a moment and
drop tenrs upon the graves of the heroic
and gallant dead who fought, and fell,
and bled, and died upon the ensan
guined plain ol tbeir country, whose
noble sa< rifices will descend to the last
syllable ol recorded time, and be sung
around the graves ot the last genera
tion of man, whose hallowed spirits
have ascended to high Heaven, where,
with wide open gates, their many souls
have been received, and they now hold
“ sweet converse” with angels around
the throne of the Eternal, yet I would
shake off the habiliments of the past,
and move out into the future with a
firm and steady tread, for it is for the
living that we are to legislate, and not
for the dead.
