thirteenth of Hay 1783 twenty vowels at Anchor in harbor at the month of reiver St John They bad from York and vicinity abont three thonaand men women and children who had come to these shores because they were pronounced and steadfast loyal ists to the throne of England and because cherished the moat de voted attachment for British institu tion On Saturday the tenth day of May the leading vessels of the loyalist fleet arrived in the har bor The other vessels came to anchor here immediately thereafter The men of that enterprise were occupied daring the eight days follow ing io making preparations for a residence on the bore With great rapidity they constructed dwellings necessarily vers rough and very rude wherein to find temporary On Sunday the eighteenth day of May loyalist exiles having brought their luggage their furniture and their other to the took formal leave of that had brought them and the germs of empire to wilderness country On that memorable day took permanent possession of the soil whereon the city of St John Hands in the name of the Sovereign of land and for the preservation and perpetuation of long cherished political and religious If we would obtain an accurate estimate of those loyalists of and of the principles by which they were actuated and of the in which participated we must look back from the monnt of on which we stand today aa far at least to the earliest settlement by English speaking people of the eastern portion of the old thirteen The time of the occupancy of the soil of this continent by pur fore fathers may be divided into several clearly defined periods The primary period of that included threescore yeara and ten from the time of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers in the consum mation of the union of the govern ments of the Pilgrim Fathers in The first instalment of the Father settled in New England in The more prominent of both of two classes of settlers had received a liberal education under English tutors They cherished un hesitating reverence for the Supreme Ruler of the They were devout students of the oracles of God prayed daily for divine direction They in a super intending providence- And they were industrious enterprising and energetic Id poshing on the practical affairs of secular life BOTH THE AHD Had left England because of the pre vailing political religious tur moils of their timer They came to now world to promote their own private interests and at the time to found and establish a new order of things socially politically and religiously wherein the liberty of the Individual would be enjoyed and the glory of would be main tained The Pilgrim Fathers estab lished a colony at Plymouth Rock The Puritan Fathers founded another colony which designated the Massachusetts Bay Company The chief centre of trade and com merce and of the Puritan colony was at Boston Between two peoples who planted these colonies there were strong points of resemblance and both marked liar wherein they differed For seventy years from 1620 until ho Pilgrim Fathers maintained a government separate from the Puritan and inde pendent of them During years the Puritan population increased much more rapidly than the population of the rival colony In the latter year tho government of the Pilgrim Fathers became absorbed En that of the Paritan Fathers Those two people both of whom of at English blood and both of whom were rich in qualities of the head and of heart and both of wham wero strong in their in and In their faith in now became one people and not entirely one The Pilgrim Fathers had an Instinct for loyalty to throno of England The Puritan Fathers had a tendency towards din loyalty During subsequent and second period years from amalgamation of tno two governments of Pilgrims and of the Puritans until the manifest beginning of the struggle which led to declara tion of independence namely from 160 until those two peoples dwelt together In tho peaceful and prosperous pursuits of their various alms and purposes Vet during all that period the distinctive ideas which the Pilgrims and the Puritans had so long held touching of loyalty refused to blond Tho second period of the history of Englishspeaking people in America Includes a little than beginning In and continuing until the close of the second war between England and Franco in During that era beginning the government Ifi Now was carried on a new charter granted by the Parliament of- mother country and which was called Second Royal Charter This was a period of marked development throughout colonies of the crown Wide areas of tho wilderness were being re claimed from sorest and were converted into fortile and pro ductive and remunerative fields Villages were appearing here and there more accessible rivers During the part of this period there were occasionally collisions of a more or less sanguinary character between the English colonists and their French and Indian neighbors Twice during the of whioh we speak the oon8totiog interests of England and Franco had plunged those two countries into the deadly strife of war The second war between Ens land and France beginning in and terminating in 1763 was emin ently fruitful of results favorable to over the area of America and all round this great planet Britons never be slaves In the earliest part of the quarrel between Parliament and the colonists the old spirit of disloyalty which had to some extent prevailed among the Puritans was confined chiefly to the Bay The people generally the thirteen colonies were loyal to the throne- and to the King of Borland Meanwhile the arbitrary spirit of Parliament was still preserved Towns and cities wero grow- to reduce brave hearts to a log population and prosperity all kind of political aervltude whereas along the coast from Masiaahaujtf- they should have remembered that the colonies and to British interests wasdisoussedinspeeches sermons in conventions and by the press everywhere The colonists admitted that they held their allegiance to the King acknowledged allegiance to Parliament So far as external trade was concerned they acknow ledged up to the time of their last appeal to the King for redress the right the Parliament to legislate upon all matters with nav igation and foreign trade but denied the right of Parliament to interfere on questions of internal trade or local taxation- They had uniformly deoiod that Parliament bad the right to laws for them And herein was precisely the point of the prevail ing controversy But allegiance to the Ring did exist and had been generally acknowledged and down to the most solemn assurances had been given that there was no In tention to break that allegiance or to throw it off As the quarrel was prolonged the resistance of the people more pronounced and in growing numbers they the attitude of antagonism to British role and after long waiting in vain for redress their antagonism involved disloyalty to the King himself A clicuix was reached by tin declaration of by the at Philadelphia on the fourth of July As the purpose of that declaration was to sever the tie of allegiance to the King it was necessarily founded on acts of Grown itself its justifying causes The Parliament therefore was ignored the declar ation being so much as mentioned in the whole instrument There was a clear and necessity for holding the King responsible for those measures which were the grounds of separation and hence the declaration of independence had a personal application to him With out seeming to utter a disloyal senti ment toward Great Britain it may without- be acknowledged that it Is now ad milted by all standard English speak ing historians- on both sides of the Atlantic that the success of the American revolutionists involved a great for constitutional liberty and that all English speaking people of the present time are as a result of that success enjoying larger liber ty and self govern ment than otherwise they would have possessed TUB OK TUB And stubborn developments of the period under review is to the lover of English institution full of strange and sorrowful interest defined those developments stand out Hera wo have a ministry of the Grown weaker in the knowledge of political science in Administra tive skill than any ministry hid been the infatuated reign of James again wo have the fas cinating dream of the thoughtful col onists of an empire which would tho fatherland and all her colonies everywhere under one king under banner dissipated tho blundering of the ministry and the Parliament And here more over wo have the mother country in a fierce and protracted conflict with her own children which Involved the log to Crown of her thirteen magnificent colonies which involved also the augmenting twofold of national debt by adding upwards of six hundred million dollars thereto and which was only war in which England ever engaged which proved to bo seriously disastrous to her in terests A portion of the population of colonies in whom principles of proclaimed their loyalty to the Idea of an United British Empire and their loyalty to the and to the King of England notwithstanding the deplorable faults of For their adhesion to the old that bad braved thousand years and the and to all of that flag was loyalists accepted the peril of life and peril of property that adhesion involved Thoy left smiling left the plow mid furrow Thoy left standing corn They grasped They carried tho musket They stood In deadly breech They scaled redoubts and ramparts amid atorms of- shot and shell And on many a well fought field they poured out their generous in devotion to their cause Then whon the seven years war wsb over and scattered and broken band was brought together naught remained for who could surrender their principles but to escape to another land very much as Pilgrim Fathers hid done a hundred and sixty before and for purposes substantially If not quite identical In the spring time of when the gonial son was filling heavens with his arrows and giving of the coming summer tho loyalist who destined to bo founders of the of New Brunswick were crowded Into the twenty vessel which placed their disposal Out from the harbor of New York sailed Out over the ocean tbey sot their course they leaving the struggles the sacrifices and the sorrows of the past behind them and not knowing the things that befall them A divinity was bearing them on sweep They were brought hero by that in whose hand are generally io America the French territories of Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island became possessions of the British Ore wo through capture of the midsummer of that year Nova Scotia which then included New Brunswick had been a colony of Great Britain since On the thirteenth day of September 179 the brilliant battle of the Plains of Abraham was fought Then followed as the inevitable result of that de- ciaivo the surrender of Then on the tenth day of February a treaty of peace was signed at By that treaty extinction of the French power in Canada was assured and the boun daries of the British possessions in America were so enlarged as to ex tend from Labrador to the of Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific The development of civilized life in the colonies reacted upon the mother country in the development of her resources In the time of Oliver Cromwell 1658 England was but a secondclass power compared with Franco or Spain How marvel lous the change between that time and the present London to day with its four million inhabitants is twice as large Parie but in the earlier part of the seventeenth cen- Paris then a city of four hun dred thousand was twice as largo as London When the treaty of between England France was signed growth of physicist England bad boon so pro digious as to make her the foremost civilized nation in the world This growth of the power and the prestigo of Eng land in the century ending 1763 was largely duo to her commercial intercourse with her American colo nies Without tho influence of colonies which now had a factor of immense import ance England never could success fully have dictated to Franco tho terms of that invaluable treaty While wo turn away from tbo con sideration of those our will not permit us to dwell at any considerable length upon the stirring events of the twenty years from until the severance of loyalists from their old homes and lifelong associations and their Bottlo meat in the various parts of these Provinces In earlier part of that period of twenty an spirit obtained in reference to the colonists in minds of many of the leading English people and unwise councils prevailed in their Parliament King George III to tho of England as a descendant of House of Hanover and under terms of the of That statute is per reminder to the Sovereigns of Groat Britain that they do not wear their by divine right but by the will of tho people in whom the fountain of political power no sooner bad III ascended the throne than he sought to raise royal prerog ative to a point at whioh oven a Stuart king would scarcely have pre- to aim His attention was early directed toward his Lord Halifax was among first to suggest tho taxation of the colonies for the relief of the ratepayers of fatherland But to George ville brotherinlaw of Lord Chat ham Is to bo attributed carrying of the Stamp Act through the Par liament The of that Act set In a blaze and developed In overt acts colonial resistance to imperial legislation burning question of taxation without repre sentation was hushed Into compar ative quiet by repeal of Act but it was kept hv a supple mentary clause which was made part of the Act of repeal and which pro vided Parliament had the to bind colonieain all cases what soever Subsequently seals of department damn into hands of that brilliant young orator Charles England adopted that political policy which ended In the toss of thirteen col onies The Klog was prime mover in the attempt to tax colonial people Ho enlisted in that men as Halifax Lord North and Mansfield views of the colonists were ably and eloquently represented and fended by such men as Lord Chat ham Lord Camden Edmund and Pox whoso names a which there is none brighter In the PARLIAMENTARY ENGLAND The spirit which was cherished by ministry of day found expression Iu other Acta of Parliament Stamp Act which were greatly Irritating to colonial mind That failed to comprehend while they warn attempting to force their measures upon freedomloving spirit of population that trying to the sons of English sires Io whose veins ran as good blood as heart of over knew and that such an attempt must involve fatal disastrous and Irreparable consequences To us in these times It seems marvellous In deed that political leaders should have so sadly blundered as not to perceive that they wore trying try and another among people of the earth And now we their descendants and our fellow- who have come to from various nationalities form part of a Dominion which though latest born into the family of the nations will yet compete In honorable rivalry with the strongest and the grandest of them all Daring the century that bad elapsed since the anion of the Pit and the Puritans one government there bad been more or less of a breaking down of the politi cal partition separated those two Through inter marriages and other there had been a commingling to a great extent of the diverse elements The passing away of another generation or two woqld probably have almost oblitera ted the dividing between them The outbreak of the conflict however led to the rival moreprononnoed manifestation of the sentiment of loyalty in the minds of many and led to in this day the fruits of those labors cherish and preserve and embalm the memories of their loyalty to the rights of mankind their the King of Kings and their loyalty to the Throne and to the the Sovereign of England to Georgia and on the banks of the not only in Old bus all AN TO COSNKOTION in the minds of other Those as the struggle went on bo- loyalist and the revolu tionist became on both sides more and intensified The more prominent who came to these Provinces were intensely loyal to the while for the most part they had a commendable fear of God with a- becoming reverence for his house and services and with perhaps an developed regard for rights and privileges of the individ ual These were the men upon whom developed chiefly of tho foundations of the social political commercial and religious these They gave them selves to this work with bravo hearts and diligent- hands They- began the subjugation of the soil They selected sites whereupon towns and cities might spring grow They built houses and ships and and bridges They erected churches for the service and worship of God They embarked in They established gov ernments They inaugurated courts of The day at first was fcuall and feeble Their dwellings were for a time necessarily in size and appearance and were provided with only conveniences for comfort The session of ad a dan of gold and not avail in those days to command except to a moderate extent either the luxuries or com fortaof life But the went on- And when at the end of a half cen tury a the landing of tho Loyal ists it was manifest that great had been the growth I Within the half century of which there had existed in the more prominent governmental and rellfci jus of led to the confining of the best patronage of the govern for the moat part within cer tain social limits and within narrow You illustration of bigotry And sectarian fact that for the first half century after the es tablishment of the Government of tbia Province ministers of Church and minister of the churches de prived by act of the Legislature of the privileges of performing the right of marriage under any circumstances If however the more prominent men of first halt century of pur cole history manifested their loyalty rather in the direction of attachment for the sovereign than in respect lor the rights of people wo roust re member that such a preference was a natural result of the adoption on their part of the loyalist cause end of their limited views of principles of true and broad lapse of time and growlug intelligence only were needed to bring desired changes The time is past The changes are here That generation has passed away and another generation hat come And happily we live In a better day It apparent at the of the second halt of the century that has now reached Its completion that new Ideas had found their way into the popular thought of the time TUX were becoming established Newspaper were abounding The of government was becoming better understood It was becoming increasingly manifest that the day of and of irresponsibility must give way to larger liberty and that the government for the time most bo carried on for the benefit of people and according to well- understood wishes of the people and with a clear recognition of responsibility to the people Those generations re gono and with them have sway the faithful men to Provi dence wo own pur national existence and
