The West Indies are ruined, and Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, now seek annexa- tion, that they may have protection from a system under which they are being ruined. The owner of land, everywhere, knows that it would be doubled by the change, and the labourer transfers himself to the south of the boundary-Hne, that he may find employment and good wages, which cannot be found at the north of it. Those who remain north of it now anxiously seek for admission for their grain, because protec...tion maintains a market that now they cannot have. In the existing state of things they have to compete with the low-priced labour of Russia and Poland, and are ruined. Thej^ desire, therefore, that their competition may be with the protected farmers and labourers of the Union. Lord Sydenham, in a letter to Lord John Russell, which accompanied his Report on Emigration to Upper Canada, observed : " Give me yeomen, with a few hundred pounds each, who will buy cleared farms, not throw themselves into the bush, and I will ensure them comforts and independence at the end of a couple of years — pigs, pork, flour, potatoes, horses to ride, cows to milk — but you must eat all your produce, for devil a purchaser is to be found: however, the man's wants are supplied, and those of his family ; he has no rent or taxes to pay, and he ought to be satisfied.
