different manners and customs."

English, French, Irish and Scotch,

success will add to the prosperity, the might, and to the glory of the
new federation."

races; it must henceforth be the
first and steady purpose of
the British government to establish an English population, with
English laws and language,
in this province, and to trust its government to none but a
decidedly English legislature."
D) "The first and most obvious remedy that presents itself, is to
deprive them of the constitution,
that is of that representative
part of the government which was unquestionably prematurely
given them."
