• Most persons' have heard of the Red
River ;Settlement.. The halfeen Wry or
so of its exietenee he,s illustrated in a
striking degree the blight of a colony
set down in eueh a land of monopoly.
In 1811, the E Lrl of Selkirk, a- veey
hig'!, ee eh areholder in the Ifoctson's Bay
Company, succeeded in illbtaaning from
the Company a grant of ,six teen thous-
aud square. miles of territory, iDearegi-
on westward of Lake Seperior ; this
was to enable him to colonise the land
with deslitute Scotch men and their
familiea as a means of bettering their
condition, , But al thotigh he succeeded
by his voting, power ie influencing the
one Company, 1.16 could not Control the

ether. The North. west Company
traders were bitterly hostile to vie
Scotch settlers, who were driven to
great shifts in order to preserve life,
and were often driven to seek Safety in
flight. When the two -companies coa
lesced, the settlers believed that hopoi-
er times were in store for them ; t iere
was less barbarity, it is true ; but the
united company soueht more .stren ou-
sly than (avec to 1 etam sovereign p wet -
over the wholeof the vast territory
north and west of the great lakes. The
Eat 1 Of Selkirk died in 1836 ; and the
Company gave' eighty-four thousand
pounds to his heirs, to buy back the
Red River Settlement. This was bad
for the si Ltlere ; seeing that -free enter-
prise is quite inconsistent with the plan
on which tile fur-nuntitig Company bite
laten acctietomed to Let Th ghout
the enbsequeut third of •a century, the
settlers have been constantly complain-
ing that the Company's servants exer-
cised a despotie authority ova. them ;•
that the judicial tribunals were partial
and incempetert ; that the conditions
under whieli tile settlement was "made
ha -ye been violated ; that freedom of
trade did not exit; that they were fore -
ed to pay taxes, in the impositien of
which they had no voice; that they
were not allowed to import goods, eK-
cept under the control and in the ships
of the lompeny ; and that letters were
often tampered with under an- odious
system of esinonage. -
A new interest has lately been
broughe into the question. The Brit --
ash North...A.merieart colonies became
:me. confederation in 1867, by aets of
the sevetal legislatures ; and it is DOW
a matter of „great comMercial end natio-
ual importarree that there should be a
