LATION, OR A FEDERAL UNION. -â€"-â€"â€". The question of Representation by Population, having served the purpose of the hour for the Clear Grits of the West, during our elec- tion contests, has at last fallen into the hands of those, if not disposed to accept the principle, are at least prepared to enter upon its consider- ation, as statesmen should do. We claim that Mr. Sicotte, the Hon. Commissioner of Crown Lands has done so. He is at no pains to con- ceal what his opinion and indeed the opinion of Lower Canadians as awhole, is upon this question. The discussion of the question now he deprecates because it can have no practical result, the last census be- ing one which could not be accept- ed as a. basis even Were the prin- ciple to be applied. But so long, he contends, as Representation by Population is presented as a naked principle solely with a view to add a few more members to Upper Can. nda, so long will it be resisted by Lowor. Canadians. And why? Because the union between these Provinces, although a national one in which the majority rules, em- bodies at the same time the federal principle, as at the time of the Union a compact was made that each section should have equal re- presentation in the legislature. The Commissioner of Crown Lands having thus declared for Lower Canada what she assumes to be her inalienable rights, further says, that if after a census one section of the Province is found to have a larger population than the other, and it is found to be agrievance, that it will then become necessary to consider whether under the circum- stances equality between the two sections can be preserved in any modification of the existing corn- pact. If this cannot be done, Low- er Canada he protests will claim to be placed in the same position AUSTRALIA: The Australian mail steamer "reached Suez, with 48,000 ounces of gold, but'hrr 'ttews had not been telegraphed. ‘ LATEST. _ The Nuts" city article of the. erg}: ring of the 2nd inst, reports the stock w‘et heavy, and inanimate, with a slifitbi- crease of demand for money on the 4th, but applications at the Bank were very limited Commercial intelligence from India, con- ‘sidered satisfactory.

The universal cry of the people of Canada is just at this present time, oh, the hard times!

So much for the boasting REPRESENTATION BY POPU- final onsWer from Lower Canada. Urge Representation by Popula- tion,an(l we will dissolve the Union. From this position Lowe,- Canada cannot be expected to recede_ n is perhaps better that we have got this declaration thus early, that we may at once know what We imper- il by our agitation. We haw. been contending for a naked principle by the application of \\'lllt'll Lower Canada sees we. must acquire a ‘prepondorancc in the legislatorc, contrary to a legislative compact; she therefore refuses to acquiesce, and warns us that she will separ- ate from us. It now becomes our duty to consider what all this will result in. It really does not seem at present that there is any great disparity between the population of Upper and Lower Canada. Solici- tor General Rose stated the other day in the House thntat the late elections there had been polled in Upper Canada “0,200 votes, while in Lower Canada 145,268 votes had been polled, a differ- ence in the numbers pulled in the two sections of only 942 against. Lower Canada. In this calculation the votes polled at Quebec (15,000) are not included; so it \VOlild real- ly seem that there is but little reason for any great clamor at preSent that Upper Canada is not fairly represented. We, however, declare without hesitation that the time will arrive when the relative population of the two sections will be so dispropor- tionate as to become a grievance. With the views of Lower Canada so fully expressed there will be but one course then open to Upper Can- adaâ€"a separation from Lower Can- ada. and either a Federal Union of the two Provinces or orall the Brit- ish Provinces. The public mind is now being turned to a consider- ation of this question and we be- Iteve it is received with consider- able favor. Mr. Gall, member for Shcrbrooke, will move certain rc- solutions in the House during the present session on the subject, and we shall then have the feeling of the people’s representatives on the question. We believe the more it is discussed, the greater will become the desire for its consummation. Mr. John Cameron, incmbuyfor Victpria. has a resolution which is to be brought before the considera- tion of the House next week. advoâ€" tlte readjustment of the re- pwocntation after the.oensus of 1861 on the basis of po ulation without regaird to the divi 11g line between Upper and Lower ’Canada. Mr. Malcolm Camedon is} also introdu- cing a bill widt- amlmilar object. After the empfiitic declaration: of the Representatives‘of Lower Can- ada all of whom voted against Brown’s amendment in favor of Re- presentation by Populntion on Fri- day last, this will be to little pur- pose. Therc may.it is true. be a larger Upper Canadian vote in fu- vor of the principle then. but with the representatives of Lower Cuna- da en mosse against it, we may as well make up our minds that our exertions cannot be ofany avail. Let 'us then cast about and see by wnat other means we may dispose of the question. A Federal Union We believe to be our destiny. m LETTER FROM THE JAMES BOYD. RE V.

This man's name I will give to Mr. Davidson, whenever he tltinks proâ€" per to call upon me, and I have no doubt but that he will lrc prepared to prove the truth of his statement to his satisfaction. as he was to make it unsolicited to me. He will find, :tlso.thztt_this man, although a metho- dist, disuppt'oves ofhis mode of atlâ€" vocnting ternpmancc as much as I do; so that if there be any malice or malignity. orrlistm'lion, or malicious lrngtlz. in the statement above re- ferred to, he must settle the account with his \Vcsleyan brother, and not with me. Mr. Davidson thinks that I am actuated by malignant feelings to- wards him. But I assure him that I not influenced by nothing of the kind. Ifl took the liberty of call- ing him to order while deli-vain}; his first lecture here, ldid so from the purest mOtchs, and because I felt it to be a duty which I owed to him, to the :iudicnce assembled and to the (must: of temperance which we were met to promote. If he assumes to himself the high prerogative of re- buking all men and all churches. he ought not to be offended ifan indi- vidqu who has spent as many years in this cause as ltchus months should venture to express an opinion as to whether his peculiar mode of advo- cating it be likely to commend it to the ,favorable consideration bf the community or the reverse. As I said before, s01 say: still, if our friend will be more careful of his language he may,tltrongh the Divine blessing. be an instrument of much good. I attended his second lecture liclr‘e, arid although not a lecture on temperance, strictly speaking, it was certainly a great improvement upon the first. Mr. Harrison, the chair- man. called upon me to close the meeting with prayer, this I refused. Ihad received from Mr. Davidson or one of his friends, a few days be- fore an anonymous letter, abusing me for the part which I had taken at the meeting ucfcrred to and re- proaolting me with being Scotch; and it occurred to me that itdid not show much consistency on the part of those who could send such a let- ter to any individual as that which Ihud received and in a few days thereafter call upon him tojoin with them in asking the divine blessing on a benevolent Clllet'pt‘lSO. This lainrl of morality may be very con- venient for some persons but I must be j’ot‘mltted to say that it does not go “‘t'll down with me.
