Every man who has at heart the welfare of this fine country and the unity of this migldy empire, must bewail the present con dition of our public concerns. From what ever cause that condition has arisen, to the people the danger and the disgrace are alike. Forming a part of a great and fine nation, the principles, for which its best men expended their lives, are in dispute. They are virtually denied us. Those who cherish the contest, and hope to enslave us, know little of the character of the inhabi tants of British North America. When the laws of the reatm and the first principles of government are violated, every .English man will make a generous contribution to restore them. As an inhabitant of America, inspired by the genius of its free institutions, he is animated to a struggle against every invasion of popular rights. But as a Cana dian destined to stand or fall with his coun try; as a man exalted by those charms which -thicken at the mention of home, he is bound, religiously, most sacredly, bound, to maintain, and transmit-to his posterity intire, his birthright, his freedom, and his laws. In a moment of danger to the best interests of mankind “ no honest man will remain indolent or inactive.” Perhaps madness may deride tho pro phets warning ; but if I were solemnly ask ed whether the affairs of this devoted coun try are not fast approaching a crisis, in which it will become a question whether we shall all submit to be slaves, or urge a noble effort in defence of our country, I should sav, such a crisis was approaching. As a loyal subject, l would regret it, as a freeman, I would embrace it. The grievances of the inhabitants are ag gravated by insults. What spirit could have dictated, what weakness could have con ceived, what unbecoming disregard of facts, could have given to the w orld, a late docu ment, I know not. It has been read with detestation from one end of th6 Province to the other. 'Confidence is lost. 5 It cannot be regained. Distrust and alarm have pos session of the public mind. The country waits with anxiety to see the gretit cause of these oppressive evHs removed. The coun try desires his removal, and will rejoice at it Those who trust, however, to ah early change without efforts, insult experience. The pretext for adjourning a Legislature was obvious. The aim of a pubfic spirited people ought not tp be defeated by So shal- low an artifice. The opinion of the inhabi tants of Lower Canada, must be read at St. James and St Stephens.

Twice in the hour of danger they flew to the defence of that union against foreign invasion; twice they fought and conquered; twice' they preserved the vast possessions of the Empire on this continent.

We would therefore propose, that beside the signa ture, a writer of this kind affix some number, in figures, to his piece, to serve as a signal.—To one with whom this difficulty exists, but who is desirous of information, we would say, t hat the hasty review we have given his piece, has not enabled us to de cide, but it seemed possible to amend or improve it. Mr. Editor,—Meeting with the following in a Hindoo paper, I thought a translation might be amusing to your readers, for which purpose it is at your service. R. R. THE DISAPPOINTED ROGUES. The story goes, that once to college Two students went, to gain some knowledge, Of Latin, French, and Greek : But nought of this engag’d their minds, For mischiefs of a thousand kinds Did they forever seek. These fellows once a plan proposed To rob a field, (as they supposed,) Of every sweet potatoe. Away they start, each with a sack, Firmly tied upon his back. And hanging wide and low. They travelled on for some few miles, O’er ditches, gates, and farmers’ stiles, When suddenly a patch they spied, Well guarded by a lofty fence, And a dog that warned them thence, As through the grass he saw them glide. But soon the barking cur was still— For through his head a leaden pill Had caused a mortal wound.—' The fence with eager haste they. kpp’d.; „ And ’mongst the vines they slyly crep • Scratching up the planted ground. “ By jing,” crips one, “ what monstrous*, And in his sack tfie root he crams, ' ■ t , Yet grappling for another— ^ ' At length each one obtained a load ,■> And lugged it out into tho road ' r ' Like any faithful brother. “We have enough,” one rogue now cries* , * The other with a “ yes,” replies, And OIF both quicklv start. But a9 they homeward briskly walked, Of their rich booty thus they talked, > (Delighted much at heart.) “ What times in college now we’jl have Our ’taters how the boys will crave— They s a’n’t have one I swear:— 1 Some we’ll roast, and some we’ll bake— With some we will a pudding make— ’Tis plaguy good, I hear.” At length in college bounds they leap, And to ■their rooms in silence creep Withoyvt a single word. The sacks were,then turned inside out, And loud as thunder was the shout ‘ They’re turnips by the L—d!” ROBIN ROUGHttEARl warning to the sinful. The minister, tn a fervent and earnest manner, now commend ed us to the protection of the all-powerful JehoVah. I slowly and thoughtfully return ed home. But these weighty and serious events still continued to haunt my solem nized mind, and I could not avoid thinking of the untrue and unfriendly charge of weak ness and of interest, of manly energy, and persuasive eloquence so often alledged against ministers of the Baptist persuasion. What I had witnessed completely solved and dispersed, my belief in such an erroneous and uncharitable charge. S. W... MABEIBD, L*it evening, by the Rev.

But anon, they melted asunder, and vanish ed, and the genial rays of the refreshing sqn twinkled brilliantl" through the misty atmos phere, and soon eu ivertedits sombre humi dity into a pleasant and cheerful temperature. It was the day fixed uj)on for the perform ance of divine service at a country church. There was no preaching in the village, and in order to vary the sceiie and relieve myself from its dull and irksome monotony, I had made preparation -to attend. On ac count of some prejudice which I early im bibed, I did not entertain too much respect for the simple candour, and solid qualifica tions of country clergymen, but how happily was l disappointed on this occasion! What a powerful effect had the exercises of this day upon my very soul! But I am digress ing.-^ met my .companions at the hour ap pointed; and we cheerfully directed our steps toward the holy sanctuary. Having arrived at its threshold, we slowly entered, and were soon silently and thoughtfully seated. Nothing now disturbed our sacred and peaceful meditations, save the clumsy tramp- ings of the robust and healthful country-folk as they occasionally entered. At length the minister rose; and in a deep and humble tone repeated a psalm, which was sung with a doleful melody well suited to the occasion. He then with a due de gree of solemnity and Christian dignity read his text, and proceeded to tits explanation with zeal, candour, and animation: He had the faculty of accommodating his discourse to the meanest as well as the most elevated capacity, at the same time. His similitudes were borrowed from familiar and common place objects, and he spoke with such irre sistible fervour and cogent earnestness, as TO PftS&TERS.
