persevere as it has done against every difficulty in the attempt to secure their property and 10 obtain for them a full and certain admission to civil rights the lieutenant governor is not unaware what efforts have been used and what misrep resentations have been resorted to for the pur pose of exciting opposition to a measure which must have been generally viewed by men of sound understanding and of good principles in the same light as it appeared to the signers of this addiess and his excellency regrets that a due regard to official forms prevents his communicating to the people of the province until it has been received by the secretary of state the despatch with which he accompani ed ihe bill because he thinks it would have shewn those who anxiously desire and fairly deserve this relief that their interests have not been abandoned on account of any groundless clamour and have affoided at the same time the plainest assurance to others that their con duct has not been misunderstood his excellency is convinced however that justice will at last be very generally done to the motives and intentions of the government and thai the only difficulty which will remain will be for those who now actively oppose the enact uiettt of which this address approves to recon cile their conduct hereafter with the dictates ol good sense and soiimj and loyal feeling it ought to be sufficient for those who are unfavorable to so reasonable aud so liberal a measure to know that as it decides upon no persons case and makes no change in the law it can have no other eheci than to confer privileges upon those who apply for them as the act provides and those on the other hand who are anxious that the measure should be confirmed may it is imagined rest assured that the government will not allow ihem to suffer for the want of a remedy which they anxiously desire but that they will perceive it to be more jusi to suffer e 49 fq ffijff pffegf for their protection while they may

dislike the law be cause they retain their partiality to a foreign government ihe sooner we know them the better our government cannot desire sub jects of that description and one of the most
