The excesses of Mr. Mc- Duugsill produced excesses upon their part. By his proceedings he has created in the minds of Indinns and l]‘d,ll‘¢b1‘£’.€li3, a distrust in the hunor and integrity of the Dominion Guvernment, and perhaps has evoked a spiiiL of disloyalty which experience and time and justice alone can remove, for be as‘ sured of this, than when the minds of the Indian tribes from Lake Superior to the Saa- Yet, before that any negociations are had for such purpose, immediate occupation is taken, surveyors are sent in. and by their ‘ proceedings manifesting acts of ownership, tiins creating alarm in the minds of all that they were to be dispossessed of their pro- perty without any consideration and in v10- lation of all those principles of justice prac- tised upon all occasions under Br tish rule. and atilast professed to be 50 under that of the United States when entering upon Indian lands.

Had Mr. McDougall been governed by common judgment or actuated by a. sense of‘ justice instead of sending his subordinate to add to their exottement, he would have striven to remove from their minds apprehensions of unfair treatment, he would have couched his proclamation something in the language of the Royal Proclamation to which I will pre- sently refer.

The Opposition to Mr. McDongall’s gov- ernment did not arise from any desire of an- nexation with the neighboring Republic.hut from a spirit, which it' not founded upon high and endurng principles, is founded upon one of the strongest passions of the human heart, a. feeling that in all countries and at all times has influenced, for good or for evil alike. the civilized or the. savage. l‘he right. ofsoil, even among the most. des- [)isetl of" people, is only yielded to conquest or to purchase.

Of the various uarrations that from time to time have appeared relative to this sub- lject, none refers to the primary cause of that disturbance.

There are others who could do SO it' they weie inclined; there are the employ- ees of the Hudson Bay Company, but they are strangely reticent as to the predominant feeling; that governs the India.) race, wheth- er they claim a French, a Scotch or English lineage. Perhaps it would not be wise upon the part of the Hindu)” Bay employer-s to advert to this feeling, as it. might be taken to imply an admission that the Com pany had obtained money under false pre- te ces whea they sold to theDominion rirhts that they did not poswss. Besides a l'eeling ofjustifiable indignation may also operate \viththese gentlemen at seeing: all the offices of the contemplated Government besteeaui- upon hungry office hunters totheir exclusion, and hence they are. not. disinclined by a re- ticence of the primary cause to contribute to disseminate the belief that. the opposition to Mr. McDou-gall's government is to be solely attributed tn the circumstance of his Coming among them as a "Sam-zip,” stir- rounded by officials and accompanied by a host of expectants of office, foreign to the country, utter strangers to the people over whom they expect to govern, and independ- ent of all responsibility to them. 10.

The agreement is to extend over five years, one years notice being necessary to termi« new it at that time. The report was adapted.

The. proclamation euunciaies no new prinv ciple upon this continent nor one peculiar to British rule. It has been acted upon at all former periods by England, by France, and by the old Dutch Colonial Governments, no tribe 01‘ nation of Indians having ever been dispossessed of a rpud of soil by any one of these powers except by treaty had, and purchase made in free and open Council. British Cr'own 100 years s‘ubsequent ifie time when Charles proposed to make the gran}. Under the above proclamation, the lands in the Northâ€"West Territory are, as it were, specifically reserved to the Indians until ceded to the Crown. and any attempt of Mr. MoDouytll to grant Warrants of survey or take possession oflaud uncedcd to the Crown was a Violation of right. The reference made to land granted to the Hudson Bay Company does not specifl' wheze these lands are situated. but leaves the legality as indelimte and unintel‘igible as in the charter itself. It was known that a charter and grant of lands had been profess» ed to have been made by Charles Il In 1670 and the allusion to such'lands can only relate to territory which was property of the donor at the time of mrking the grant. Certainly it cannot apply to anv portion of the terri- tories lying westward of Hudson Bay, and which only came into the possession of the 'l'he proclamuliml further declares that all trade with the Indians shall be free and open, provided such persons as are inclined to [Sade with the Indians Luke out a license from Government to carry on such trade. 0r 'i’hmy‘of ltlleinf’" “ A‘nd W’é d‘o‘ l'urfi‘lé’r declare it; to be our Royal will and pleasure for the present, as aforesaid. to reserve, under ourSovereignty. protection and dominion for the use of the said Indians, all the said lands and territo- riesnotincluded within the limits of the territory granted to the Hudson Bay Com- puny. as also the lands and territories lying to the westward of the Sources of the rivers which fall into the sea from the west and northwest as aforesaid.” “ And we do herebystrictly forbid on pain of our displeasure, all our loving subjects From making any purchase or settlement whatever or taking possession of the lands above reserved, without. our Special leave or license for that purpose finst obtained.” “ We, therefore, with the advice of our Privy Council, declare it to be our (Loyal will and pleasure, that no Governor or Com- lnunderin-Chief of Quebec, East Florida. or West, Florida, do presume upon any pretence whatever. to grant warrants of survey, or Png patents for lands beyond the bounds of" their respective governments as described in their commissions; and that no Governor or Commander-1nchief in any of our colonies or plvtntations in America, do presume for the presznt, until our further pleasure be known, to grant war 'nnts of survey, or pass patents for any lands beyond the sources of any of the rivers that pass into the Atlantic Oceanfront the West 01' Norlh-West; or upon any lmms, \vlizfiedver, which not havng katchawan have been excited by apprehen- sions of wrong to them, it is far easier to arouse their suspicious than allay them when once aroused. ' Befme evils have happened it is the part of wisdom to exhibit their worst aspect when they are known to be inevitable, or have actually occurred; it is no less the office of wisdom to displa their palliation, and suggest. a. remedy. {distal-y is wisdom teaching by experience; its pages will show that, until the land had been ceded by the Indians, it is still their ow n, and that it is a. misname to call him a rebel, because simply he maintains his right, and it will suggest the policy calculated to restore contentment and peace. “And, whereas, it is just and reasonable and essential to our interests and the security of our Colonies that the several nations or tribes of hidians'with whom we are in con- nection, or live under our protection, shall not he molested or disturbed in the posses- sion of such parts of our Dominions and Ter- ritories, as not haying been ceded to or pur- chased by us, are reserved to them or any of them as their huntng grounds In order that all may understand the merits of the claim, and the position of the Indian in that regard, I will allude to a. few historical facts. The first settlement of Europeans in this country was that made at Quebec, 1608. During the succeeding 155 years of French occupancy, they penetrated the country in every direction, making establishments whenever the policy of France or the advan- tages of trade required. and as earlv as 1658 they had penetrated to the Red River Country, and a few years later to the Sas» lmtchewan, on the banks of which river they had an establishment, in 51 of north latitude, and of 103 of west longitude. In 1732. under the government of the Marquis De Beauharnois, they erected three several torts, 300 miles westward of Lake Winne peg. In fact, with two or three exceptions, where the Indian appellations are preserved, every lake, every river, every prominent hill throughout that extended region, from Lake Superior to the Rocky Mountains. is designated by a French name, having date from the time of French occupancy, and attesting French dominion there. Nor has it ever been pretended that England at any time claimed any portion of the country un- til the 10th day of Februory, I763,when, by treaty between France and England, it, as a portion of Canada, became a British possess- ion. Upon the 24th‘day of December fol- lowing was issued the Roval Proclamation, erectingthree Provinces within the limits of Canada so surrendered, to be respectively called Quebec, East Florida, and West Florida, after declaring What shall be the boundaries of each. That Proclamation guarantees to all the Indian tribes the in- tegrity of British rule, and reserves to them the right of soil until by them ceded to the Crown. The words following are a. recital from that Proclamation.

There has been a strong flavor of gun- powder in the columns of the Globe, and kindred journals, ever since the first news arrived from Red River in regard towthe stand taken by the settlers of that distant region, on the arrival of the Hon. William McDougall. After reading the various opinions expressed by the clear grit press,and the interesting corâ€" respondence of the Toronto Daily Tele- graph, we must confess we are surprised to find that men, professing so much ~‘ liberâ€" ality” in politics, should be so loud moth- ed in their demands for blood; nothing short of sending an army of Canadian volunteers to shoot the “uneivilized” Red River people, will satisfy these bla- tant “ liberals.” Having been treated to an over-dose of this bloodâ€"letting of ‘ ‘late, in the columns of the “liberal press,” it has occurred to us that the loudest adâ€" ‘ ’ vocates for it are the men least likely to ‘ take part in the operation. When , Nova Scotlans, under the lead of the Hon. Joseph Howe, objected to entering the Tlnion, we. heard nothing of blood- letting; no one dreamt of raising a Cana- dian force to gn and shoot down the blue- neses ; fortunately, wise councils prevail- ed, their leader was conciliated, and ar- rangements were'made satisfactory to all parties interested. Then why, we ask, are the Red River people to be shot down, like dogs, because Mr. Stoughten Dennis and his snobbish chain-bearers took upon themselves more than they should have done, and gave unnecessary alarm to a people who were entitled to some courtesy at least? We this day transfer to our columns,'from the Toronto Telegraph, one of the best essays on the Red River difficulty that wohave yet seen and read ; it is headed the “ Red River Emeute,” and is well deserving of a care ful perusal ; the writer of it is evidently well read up on the subject, and takes a broad and sensible view of the whole question; we commend it to the atten- tive consideration of our readers. Since the foregoing was written, we find that things are quietin’g down at Red River, and that thergis a likelihood of matters minion Government and the “ Half- breeds.” There is one remarkable fea- ture in the whole afi‘airâ€"â€"that occurs to us as singularâ€"~it is, that the more in- tense clear-grits are the most eloquent on using force, to compel these people to join their fate with oursâ€"nolcns talentsâ€"â€" whereas we believe that a little patience and " moral suasion" would have a far better effect, and save blood and treasure. We rejoice to find that there is a prospect of a peaceful settlement OE the difieulty â€"-no thanks to the Globe and those who being amicably settled between the Do- ‘ echo its sentiments. There is much ado in the Toronto press, just now, about the banking and currency policy of the ministry, and the bankers of the Province of Ontario. There will be, no doubt, a great effort made by the managers of our western monied institutions to compel the governâ€" ment to come to their terms. Of ecurse,no one outside the Ministry can say what the policy of the Finance Minister will be, until it is brought before parliament; but we feel confident that Sir Francis Hincks is quite equal to the emergency, and will bring down such a banking measure as will be for the best interests of the Dominion. There was much in Mr. Rose’s measure, of last session, that commended it to the favorable considera- tion of the public; it was calculated to inspire confidence in the paper currency of the country, and protect industrious citizens from being periodically fleeced by bank failures and suspensions. We know that Sir Francis is not the man to be wheedled or bullied into any particu- lar course that he. would consider inju- rious to the public interests. His Vast experience as a merchant, a banker, and, more recently, as Inspector General of Canada, will enable him to mature a banking policy that will meet the pressing wants of the country. When Parliament assembles, we feel confident the Finance Minister will come down prepared with a banking measure that will secure the country in a healthy cir- culating medium; by which confidence will be firmly established in our paper money, and the public protected against the possibility of future bank failures.
