WHO GOT THE FAT OF IT ?
To the Editor of the Clinton New Era.
DEAR SIR,-Whenthe Bank of Upper Ca-
nada failed, a score of years ago or, more, the
Globe said, of one of its directors, that he
could pay a hundred thousand dollars, at an
hour's notice, without 'inconvenience. True,
but how' came it about; that he -had such a
pile'? Why ! the Government had made hun-
dreds
umdreds of families to sweat their lives away,
after -the- toils and shifts of which instances
were given in my last.
In May of '30 an auction was made of some
3p,000;acres in block, in such a way that his
father was enabled to buy it at 37- cte.an acre.
Near the close of the year, Mr. Poulett Theinp-
son arrived as Governor General. ' In the sum-
mer of the nextyearhe made a tour through
the provinces,and having traversed plank roads
in Russia, during his mercantile residence
there,' he suggested their construction: here.
One' - of them traversed some portion of this
tract, :and newspapers reported (sales made
along it at $6 an ,acre:
, This director continuonsly represented' the
county in which "he -resided, till, death, with
one defeat.: The Conservative Governments
enabled hien to' acquire clergy and crown
lands, by private arrangements. Close in his
private dealings,., he was profuse in his elec.-
tion .expenditures ; in other constituencies it
was surmised, as well' as his own.
In July, 1817', Robert Gourley arrived in
this Province, to find out its capabilities 'for
emigrants.'. He addressed thirty-one queries
to' the principal settlers in the different fawn-
ships, the last one being, "N17_11.at, "in your
opinion, retards' the improvemeht '-of your'
township in particular, or of tke Province in
general ; and what would 'most' contribute to
the. same.?,
This alarmed the land ,owners, and they
endeavored to;deter answers to, the enquiries.
They were large1y, answered, however, and
wild lands, held by speculators, we're gene-
rally stigmatized as interfering with local
prosperity: The opposition provoked Gourlay
to activeuse of such papers as would inserthis
criticisms., In the Assembly of the following
year a resolution of enquiry was passed; on
whichit was • suddenly prorogued. Gourley
kept at work, `and 'proposed• a'convention of
delegates from the.townships, w -.hien was, held.
during thesumme'r. October 12, the Legisla-
ture met, and Governor Maitland denounced
• the convention. Bymeans of perjury, Genr-
e - lay was • convicted under a Sedition Act ofA.
1804,; and ordered to quit.tbeProvinee.: .He
— — . - _ _.,refused a:ut ;dyis comm ttecLtolall, batlbcin4,
e lce:e refused Indulgeneies, vrero ,;leered liinr;
m'rud•and body sank duel at the: trial ile gas
nearly unconscious:. He Was banished. - 1'asa
tion -of wild lands was proposed by. him, and
the .improvement of the St. Lawrence. '
In the summer of 1824 the Canada (Company
was "organized. The Government .sold' the
Huron and Galt blocks; and scattering, lots.
Quantity and price, I have no means -of. ascer-
taining. Thus vast areas were placed to-
spet:ulaters in the London: Stock. Exchange,.
and that without any legislative concurrence
being songht`for.
Many of your readers may know the prices,
paid:the Company, for the lots they occupy.:
Arbw if, instead of paying those prices, the
first settlers had paid the price. the C.ompati
did, _would. they not have hail easier times,..
or the traders here had spent among them the
difference between. those. two prices'? '
,r•• •' Now,- ca- anyone=explain-why the victims
of these losses., and their sons;''should.;, vote
for the extension of them over" much larger
.areas ? H

•POR'IER'S MILL
To the Editor of the.Qlinton New Era.
I)Enh Suis—I did not wish to. convey'
the idea that the chairman of the Porter's.
Intl);' debating club'acted inconsistently,
Sur•
ely it stands to reason if the war : party
had the advantage of ancientanti modern
history, and, the sidejpf intemperance,'. sty-
'tisties only- fora few hundred years back;
and'allowinir also that the debating ability-
of each side was pretty evenly balanced,
the chairrnao, although himself a staunch'
temperance man, could not have acted dif-
ferent front .what he, --did. Still -it would
stern that there are people far more con-
c.rnod about my poor brains than, about
the %Chairman's decision, and: what is the.
use of admonishing a man if his brain ain't'
altogether right.,Of course it don't take
very much brain to know right from wrong;
but: it takes`a good,'deal of morel courage
at times to do what is right;: I ata told
to use ply brains a little more -and my pen
a little less, 'then ;I might do'alittle to en-
lighten the age. 'The chairman ought to
know' by this time, that because e 0,-e=r-e-y•
.b -a -n -d -e -y is talking about a person is no.
sign =that that person is wrong: -Let a
man write the most glaring falsehoods, in-
tentionally, ,.to please every body,' and
there ain't a word about it, but let a 'man
raise his voice' or his pen against dancing,
cards, smoking, or loafing, or any. vice,
and he will soon •be' told. that •he could
make better, use of his time. No doubt it
is far snore pleasing to one's human nature:
to keep quiet„ and we are, told in Proverbs
28—`.'`Even a fool,. when he holdeth
his peace; is' counted' wise ''.and "'he that
shutteth his lips is esteemed a! mail of
Understanding."
