ment of our country a heavy responsibility to the people, should they in party sqitthbles consume their time during the se-sions of the Leg si:ture, to the neglect of the coloniga- tion and opening up for settlement this ¥ ist Country, where, with lavisa profuseness, Providence, with a bountiful hand. had scattered materials on all sides, sufficient to form under a bold and comprehensive policy, and intelligent manage- meut, the comlort, prosperity, wealth and worldly happiness of millions of our fellow creatures. There are some iin- portant canals on the Ottawa completed, and others in course of construction. “That between Lakes des Chats and Chandierre, whan finished, will render the River Ottawa navizable for a distance of 160 miles or thereabouts. The Grenville Canal and the Carillon Canal, are near the

Ottawa's junetion wit Le St. Lawrence, avoiding ra ids | ; juu h the ’ & ‘had to record; but the adventure has turned the heads of our

near its mouth.

The River St. Lawrence, below Montres!, on its right bank, at the town of Sorel, and just above where it widens wnd passes under the name of Lake St. Peter, receives the River Richelieu, which drains 4,800 square miles, and de- sconds from Lake Champlain, having for its source the little Lake George in the State of New York. The length of | the River Richelien is 160 miles. A little below this the River Yamaska empties into Lake St. Peter, 28 miles in length ; and also the River St. Francis, the western branch of which rises in Lake Memphremagog, 27 miles long, and | its eastern branch in Lake St. Francis. On the left bank or north shore further down, at the town of Three Rivers, 90 miles above Quebec, the River St. Lawrence receives the

River St. Maurice. which drains a country of 140 miles in length by from 20 to 100 miles in breadth, or of an area | of about 8,500 synare miles, The quantity of timber on this River is incredible; it is as yet almost untouched and said to be inexhaustible. It has itself’ numerous tributaries ; | its eastern branch, Bastonais River, rises away across the country northwardly, nearly meeting Lake St. John apon the Saguenay River, while up its western branch there are | twenty-two or three surprisingly extraordinary little Lakes, | all connected and said to be of immense depth.

On the south shore or right bank, 7 miles above Quebec, | the St. Lawyence receives the River Chaudiere, which has its rise in Lake Megantic, and drains a portion of country | 100 miles in length and 30 in breadth, an extent of 3,000 kyuare miles, The River Bastican and the River St. Anne, on the north shore, between the towns of Three Rivers and Quebee, are of considerable size and importance.

At the City of Quebec the River St. Lawrence is only! 1,515 yards wide. Just below the city, where it receives the St. Charles River, it widens into a breadth of two miles, and retains that breadth for a distance of four miles further | on, This basin has an average depth of 28 fathoms, and a! tide running 18 feet at neap und 24 feet at spring tides, '

I shall pass hy the beautiful little island below Quebec, ealled Isle de Orleans, 19 miles long and 5 broad, which | divides the river into two parts, and contains.a population of | 5,000 ; and only peep across-at the cataract of Montmoreney, | remarking on its beauty, and barely mention Grosse Isle, as being 24 wiles below the City of Quebec, and as the quarantine station.

Lastly, the Saguenay River demands a passing notice. It ritus into the St. Lawrence, 100 miles below Quebee, where | the St. Lawrence has increased aud spread into a formidable | river, with its rapidly ebbing and flowing tides. This noble , stream, the Saguenay, has about 50 rivers of Various | sizes as tributaries, among which the one rising in Lake | Momapene is chief. . Far up its ascent is the Lake St. John. | The Saguenay is navigable for large vessels, for a distance of | {0 miles froni its mouth upwards, and is said to be unfathom- | able in parts. Its banks present a mountainous appearance, | varying from 200 to 2,000 feet in height, rising in many in-| stances perpendicularly from the river's side. Large'saw-| mills are erected on this stream, which passes through an | extensive timber section. Valuable fisheries at its mouth, | where it joins the St. Lawrence, give emp!oyment to a con-| siderable number of persons. Below the Saguenay, rising in | the north, is the River Manicouagan, having for its source a lake of the same name.

In turning from a dry to an exciting topic ere I close, I rémark—the elections for the Upper House, the Legislative Couneil, the Canadian Senate, are upon us with all the conse- quent stir, bustle, excitement, clap-trap and bunkum, usually s» current and in such great demand at such an important

polling in our electoral divisions on the 15th and 14th next. | As the twelve members now to be elected hold their seats | independently for eight years—double the time of Assembly raen—and as they represent twice the number of constituents, (an Upper House electoral division covering twice the extent of a Lower House constituency), and as the Upper House can- not be dissolved like the Lower House, but each elected member holds his seat till his term of service of eight years hy law ex- pires,—it is a matter of fourfold importance how we ae our vested elective franchise, and that we send to the halls of our Senate good men and true. The present Upper House, as | formerly appointed by the Crown, numbers furty-two—twenty- one for Canada East and twenty-one for Canada West.

The good citizens of Dollardom experience just now the greatest furore imaginable in regard to the Presidential elec- tioneering campaign. Fremont’s prospects hrighbten. If journalism is to be taker as an index to public sentiment, his | election is beyond a doubt. The most influential papers in the | Union are enlisted in his canyass—instance New York Herald, | New York Tribane, &c. &e. The proportion of newspapers, | according to an unbiassed estimate before me, is greatly in) Fremont’s favour, and is as follows :—

{

Papers. Proportion of Readers.

Fremont, 188, 500000. Buchanan, 172, 800 000. Fillmore, 95, 95,000.

The anarchy and confusion of California—the State of Fre- mont’s adoption—demand that a man of the genius, ability, | untiring perseverence, and comprehensive intellect of its path- | finder. should assume the reins of Government as the chief | magistrate of the Union. The civil war, the blood recklessly | shed in Kansas by a nigger-driving, slave-holding, bratal | aristocracy, and their raflianly sympathizers, demand that | Fremont’s party—that Fremont’s principles—triumph. The | Pacific Railway—that vast undertaking, which would flourish | under his master-spirit, management and direction—requires | that Fremont fill the Presidential chair for the next four years. | ‘The national honour of the confederacy, the respect its porer, its position, should inspire under the statesman-like guidance | of a mind capable of grasping enlarged subjects, demand that the South suecumb to the now intelligent and progressive North | and West. The national safety of the Union from the power | of jealous and mighty rivals, requires that the poliey of Fre- | mont’s opponents be checked ; that fillibusterism and brigandage | be discountenanced. These matters, however, let those most interested determine. | Yours most truly, MONS PAYS. ~ ~~ —-- + Se @ - 2

Only a week ago we had the honor ol a yisif from a shabby genteel sort of person out of Chariottetown, whoeame with a great deal of ab and apocketfull of printed papers, to organize what he called a Branch Political Alliance. He had scarcely announced the objects and principles of this | \-lie-ance when all )is papers were seized and set fire to before his face, and the unfortunate man was carried away | on the shoulders of two athletic young fellows, amid the shouts and jeers of a multitude, whom he had collected ie. his organization, and dropped into a horse-pond close by. He was allowed to pick himself up as he best eould, and is in- debted to the charity of one of our neighbours, who made him a present of an old coat, and allowed him to dry his unmen-| tioables before a roaring wood fire. -

THE HOLY ALLIANCE.

© did you hear of the Alliance, Says the Shan yan Voch,

Where they teach the art or science, Says the Shan van Voch,

Of creating discontent

Against the Government,

Which they hope to.cireumyent, Says the Shan van Voch.

And the method they pursue, Says the Shan yan Voch,

To carry out this view, Says the Shan van Voch,

Is to tell the Tory crowd,

In accents fierce and loud,

That the land with woe is bowed, Says the Shan van Voch ;

When the devil a woe is known,

Says the Shan yan Voch, But what they dare not own, Says the Shan van Voeh, For the eratures suffer sore For the offices galore, Which they held so long before, Says the Shan yan Voch.

O give them back the chest, Says the Shan van Voch,

From which was built the nest, Says the Shan van Voch,

Wherein the progeny

Of the Compact Fainily

Had a mighty purty spree, Says the Shan van Voch.

Then all the noise will cease, Says the Shan van Voch, And the land will smile with peace, Says the Shan van Voch ; Every soul will feel quite fonny, And will tlow with milk and honey, When the Tories get the money, Says the Shan yan Voch.

Let Mr. H—I—d be Ser., Says the Shan van Voeh, And have toadies at his beck, Says the Shan van Voch ; Give the Treasury to Frank, Where a little private Bank Can be kept for men of rank, Says the Shan van Voch.

And as P—m—r knows some law, Says the Shan van Voch,

And can wag a learn’d jaw, Says the Shan yan Voch,

First Attorney let him be,

For he wants the public fee,

Though his law ’s not worth a d : Says the Shan van Voch.

And as Hi—th, you know, can shine, Says the Shan van Voch, In the constitutional line, Says the Shan van Voch, Ah who can better sport, Either in or out of Court, A fown of silken sort, Says the Shan van Voch. Then reward his zeal and toils, Says the Shan van Voeh, Who else should claim the spoils, Says the Shan van Voch? Give the Excise to Macl—n, Or to Mister B—gs Tr—n, Or M—tg—y the vain, Says the Shan van Voch.

Then there’s Printer to the Queen, Says the Shan van Voch, The cause of spite and spleen, Says the Shan van Voch, Some thousand pounds it brings, Then why keep it from J—n I—gs, That most stupid of all things, Says the Shan van Voch.

And the Registry of Deeds, Says the Shan van Voch,

Will provide some goodly feeds, Says the Shan van Voch,

For W—ght or other miu,

Who the House cannot get in,

In the place of Flinty Glin, Says the Shan van Voch.

Then hail to the Alliance, Says the Shan van Voch— Re its attitude defiance, Says the Shan van Voeh— Be its weapons shams and lies, And vile hy pocrisies, For on these its cause relies, Says the Shan van Voch.
