Excerpt from The Seat of Government of Canada, Its Legislative Council and "Double Majority" Question The Provmce of Canada is not in a condition to contemn the advantages to be derived from a fortified city. Placed in the vicinity of a formidable enemy to British supremacy, who claim the whole of the North American continent as their legitimate prey, more especially whatever portion of it is to be found in the posses sion of Great Britain, - Canada cannot look forward with much confidence to a prolonged peace.

All the ranting and blustering'about the North Eastern Boundary is 'again to be enacted in respect of the Oregon Territory; and as the urgency Of their demands is ever in the inverse ratio Of their rights, the British Government will again be bearded, and bullied into fresh concessions, or else into a sanguinary war in which the disgrace of their recent national bankruptcy and their brazen fraud of their English creditors, will render the Repudiators doubly vindictive.
