aaThe following is a copy of the
Speech of Jakes Aiken :
liaise your pole fling out your banner,
Streaming in lhe noou-day sun !
Freemen ! gird ye on your armor
Fight till Freedom's battle's won.
Slavery's minions prate "Dis'inion."
Should bold Fremont take the chair!
Let the rascals "try it on" once.
And they'll find young Jackson there.
When with spirit dark, infernal,
Nullifiers made their threat
8tern Old Hickory's "By the Eternal"
Their loud boasting clamor met.
So, with Fremont in the White House,
Should the robbers venture there
To steal from "Uncle Sam" his dollars,
Kice new hemp cravats they'll wear!
Bully Brooks coold batter Sumner,
Al! unarm'd, and unaware;
Bnt when becomes to steal the "archives"
He'll find "Old Pisj-sn-wi.-i" there !
We're for Liberty and Union
Freedom for our wide domain !
Of our land not one more acre
Polluted by the scourge and chain!
Iowa. Vermont, and Maine, boys.
Have yoa heard their thunders roar 1
Wben our guns shall thunder back, boys
They will jar Pacific's thore!
Then the mighty West shall trumpet
Her deeree of Freedom forth ;
And e'en a dough-face shall acknowledge
That there is indeed a North !

Found a sextoc at the door of each of

At last, the morning service was ended;
be white-surpliced deacon retired from tbe
lesk in frout of tbe pulpit ; another official
in a long black gwn quickly ran np the
isrrow pulpit stairs, unbuttoned the door
md set it wide open, and as quickly ran
iown ; the Rector himself, a slender thin-
faced Scotch Irishman, with a small head,
then made bis appearance, and slowly as-
ended to tbe pulpit; black robes hurried
up to close tbe door after bim, then hurried
lown ; and after a bymn, tbe sermon com
menced, from some text about servants,
bat I bave forgotten. At the start I took
t for a full-blooded pro-lavery essay, al
though evideutly not so' intended ; but
when the spiritual application was reached
urucd out to be a rather dry, but strictly
orthodox discourse.
The benediction was pronounced by the
old Bishop, in a clear strong voice, quita
in contrast with bis senile appearance,SDd
that proved him to be man of power in
bis prime ; black gown again hurried np
to open the pulpit door.and tripped quick
ly down; the Rector slowly descended,
while the congregation as slowly moved
out.
Tbe front pew of the middle panel in
the gallery, on tbe west side was occupied
by tbe Governor General, Sir Edmond
Head, and bis family ; with two aids-do-camp,
in full uniform consisting of blue
frock coat with epauletts and gilt buttons,
red sajh, white panta!oons,largu gilt spurs,
a fi -Id officers' chapeau with little tuft
of white and red feathers in the top, and a
heavy cavalry sabre at tbeir side. His
Excellency himself was in plain citileu's
dress. Attached to the face of the gallery
iu frout of bis pew,iu bold relief,and three
feet in diaiueter.was the royal coat of arms,
executed in blue, and scarlet, and gold.
They sat till tbe church was nearly empty,
when they came down, and entered tbe
s u'e carriage, with driver and footman iu
whitish drab livery, and drove off; the
Aids goiug home ou foot.

"as through the Parliament House

in tbe midst of a five acre square, aud
fronting on Water street aud tbe harbor.
Tbe Hall of the Lower House is a square '
room, neither large nor high in ceiling;
with an oblong area in front of tbe Speak- j
cr's chair, and the members' desks ranged
along each side, fronting each other across
the area, and with the end towards the
Speaker. There is a long gallery over the
north side, and a small reporters gallery j
'uck up in the south east corner, nearly j
over tbe Speaker's chair. The furniture ;
" P'a'n and comlortablc, witn a good deal
of red in the trimmings and carpet.
" 6
thirds of the room is on a raised fioor,sep
arated from a square in the centre, by a
massive and highly polished brass rail, on
three sides, about four feet high ; inside of
which are scarlet cushioned area chairs for
the members, and at the north end, wbere
tbe railing, if any, would pass tbe Speak
er's chair, with a table in front for tbe
clerks,and the accommodation of the mem
bers wben they reduce any proposition to
writing. Against the wall, some ten feet
bchiud the Speaker' chair, on a raised
semicircular dais, reached by three steps,
aud under a high crimson canopy, sits a
veritable deputy Throne itself occupied
by tbe Governor General, wben opening
and proroguing Parliament with a low
seat, and very high, round back, heavy gilt
frame, claw feet, lion'i head carved and
gilded oo the end of the arms, and the
back, seat, and arms, ousbioned with scar
let cloth. The dais aud steps are also car
peted with scarlet cloth- It is luxuriously
j comfortable to sit in, and notwithstanding
tbe provert s about tbe thorns tbat are said
to beset royalty, I thought it would be a
capital place fur an after-dinner snoote.
After formally installing my wife as
Queen, and paying ber the homage of a
profound salaam, we followed the grinning
attendenc elsewhere.
There is a choice library attsched to
each House ; and a separate reading room
for each, containing complete files of all
the newspapers in Upper and Lower Can
ada, about one half English and tbe re
mainder French.
The two provinces are united under one
government, with a joint parliament, in
which the debates are conducted in both
French aud English. Iu Upper Canada,
English is universally spokeu, and seven
eighths of the population are Protestants,
while in Lower Canada niue-teoths are
French Cutbolics; and with such radical
and compact differences in race and reli
gion, it follows tbat there are as many dis
cordant j irrings in the workings of the
governmental machinery, as with our own
j l,undle of resti
ve incongruities.
They have a local Ministry, organised
as iu England, and which retires from
ofi.-e whenever out-voted in the popular
branch ; the rebellion of '33, being chiefly
occasioned by the refusal cf those ho beld
the offices aud power, to obey tbe popular
voice wben thus expressed, and revolution
was tbe ouly alternative. These changes,
however, only affect tbe members of the
Cabinet, and not the subordinate officers
and employers in the various departments
who bold their places during good beha
vior. Since '23, a more just and liberal
policy has been adopted by tbe mother
country ; as is evident by tbe fact that the
present Governor of Barbadoes is a native
Canadian, a thing never beard of, even
with the small officers, nnder tbe old re
gima The wise and sagacious administration
of tbe late Gov. Gen'l, Lord Elgin, who
seems to have been universally revered
j and beloved, greatly benefitted Canadian
i affairs, in Education and commerce, and
! many other important particulars.

Tbe Governor Geucrtl's residence ia be-

DUsmess, ur by special authority. "Aud

Gtueral 1" said I. He looked at me a mo- j
ment as if to see if I was merely verdant, j
or bad really iuteuded lo commit sacrilege
aud promptly answered: "Indade, sir,
and ye can't do that same, sure." Find- i
ing I couldn't get a look at tbe grounds,
And suppose I just go in any bow 1"
said I, putting my foot on tbe step as if j
to pass. "I should have to present arms ;
very disrespectfully, indade, sir," said he,
as he brought the muzzle of bis rifb down
to tbe level of my coat buttons. So after
a little more fuu with bim, we passed on;
wondering bow Gov. Pollock would look,
in a big board jail yard, with members of
tbe "Umsbury lulautry" detailed twice
a day, to keep off the outsiders.
Tbe Bishop's palace is on the lake front
also a large square, surrounded by a high
brick wall tbat this deponent could not be
gin to see over : but a glimpse in at oue
of tbe gates, revealed a plain, solid brick
house, with little sbow,but evideutly much
comfort; and where almost anybody might
manage to "worry along" if they bad tbe
Bishop's vested iucouiu of $10,000 a year
from landed endowments.
Peaches are not raised here, bnt are
imported from the States. Wben I men
tioned tbe scarcity of tbe article this sea

and said, "I'm tbiuking they'll be dear
enough, then, by the time they get here."
Tho wheat crop is abuodaut, aud large

I met a man on tha street whom I felt
sure must bo a Pennsylvania farmer.
Found be lived on his farm, some miles
back of Toronto ; but bad moved from two
miles up tb Cattawissa r.ek in Columbia
county, to wbere be bow lives, io 1809;
and bad not revisited tbe North Branch
for thirty years. He was related to som
of tbe leading eitiieos of that county, and
made many ioqairies after oh? aoquain
tances. He said many farmer went to
Canada before 1812, bat the war put a
stop to their coming.
There is a British line of steamers from
here to Montreal along the north shore of
the lakes.also a couple of good line across
the lake. There is railroad around to
Niagara, and one to Detroit ; also another
north to tbe Georgian Bay , which you
will see by the map ia the most direct
route from the eastern and middle states)
to Mackinac and Lake Superior. There
is also a railroad tbe Grand Trunk no
way to Montreal. So yon see there will
be a great making npof business here soma
day, and that not very remote.
But I must leave in tbe noon boat for
Niagara ; and guess I have gossiped long
enough to afford to quit till next time.
