HEN the A merican Colonies revolted in 1776 , anddeclared their Independence

,there was a very

large number of the Colon ists who vehemently Opposed

the movement,and aided the Imperial troops in the war

that ensued. Those who took up arms for the Crown ,

fought for a United Empire,that was their rallying cry ,

they w ished to see the English race united under a com

mon flag and under the sam e sovereign. They deploredthe dismemberm ent of the Empire

,and during the long

struggle maintained a sturdy adherence to their princi

ples . They w ere known as the United Empire Loyalists

or as has becom e a fam iliar phrase on this continent,the

U . E . Loyalists .

On the conclusion of the war,and the severance of the

old Colonies from the Mother Country,these U. E . Loyal

ists abandoning all they possessed,moved into what is

now N ew Brunsw ick and Nova Scotia,in 1783 , and in

1784s a large number of them moved up the St . Lawrence

and settled in the then unbroken w ilderness of Upper

Canada. Many also moved from the United States

through the w ilderness,to the N iagara River

,where

they crossed into British Territory and made the first

settlement in that district in the same year. A very large

proportion of the presen t popu lation of Upper Canada can

trace their descent from these early pioneers,who settled

this Prov ince by reason o f the ir unyielding loyalty to a

great principle . This volume records the Celebration of

the Centennial of the arrival of the U. E . Loyali‘

sts in

Ontario. The demonstrations originated in the follow ing

m anner

Som e time in the summer of 1876 , at a meeting of the

York Pioneers,held in Toronto

,the late Mr. Richard H.

Oates suggested that as the United States w ere celebra

ting the centennial oi their D eclaration of Independence,it wou ld be but right for the descendants of the UnitedEmpire Loyalists to hold a celebration in honour of the

gallant efforts of their fathers to maintain the unity of

the Empire,and in gratefu l

'

recognition of the sacrifice

m ade by them in founding this Province,as a British com

m unity.

Dr. Wm . Canniff pointed out to the society that the

s ettlement of Upper Canada began in 1784, by the arri

val Of the Loyalists , and that 1884 w ou ld be the proper

date for holding the centennial celebration in . Ontario.

Mr. Oates coincided w ith the View,and was looking for

ward to taking part in it w ith much anticipation,when

death overtook him . This seems to have been the inception of the idea of a U . E . Loyalist demonstration .

On the twenty-ninth of October,1880

,Mr. Canniff

Haight , in the Toronto D ai ly Mai l,suggested an Exhi

bition, or some other demonstration in honour of the men

who , through privation and toil,laid the foundation of

this free and prosperou s Province . This suggestion wasnoticed by the Picton Belleville and Kingston papers .Nothing further was done in the matter until 1882 ,

when the follow ing letter was addressed to the Mayor of

Toronto,by D r. W m . Canniff

“ S T. JAMES ’ S QU A RE ,TORONTO

,14th D ec.

,1882 .

To H is W orship the Mayor

D EAR S I R,— I am greatly interested in the proposed semi-cen

tennial ce lebration of the I n corporation o f Toronto , and beg to con

gratulate you on having conceived the idea of such a demonstration .

But my object in ad dressing you is to call your a tten tion to the fac tthat 1884 will be the centennia l Of the firs t sett lement o f U pperCanada , when the pioneers U . E. L oyalis ts , took possession o f

their lands along the S t. L awrence , from K ings ton wes tward along

the shores of the Bay o f Quinté , and on the N iagara fron tier. I t

has occurred to my m ind that perhaps it might be possible. anddeemed advisable to widen the basis of the commemoration and

celebrate at the same time the centennial o f the settlement of the

P rovince. Of course , to do this it wou ld be necessary to procure

the co-operation of the other cities and the towns o f the P rovince .

There has been s om ething said in the eastern papers about observing the cen tennial , and K ings ton was men tioned as the place most

suitable for the purpose. But as there is some doubt about thematter, perhaps the cen tennial of the P rovince , and the semi-cen

tennial o f the capital m ight be appropriate ly held in Toron to . This

proposition may not be deemed feasible,but it seems to be a ques

tion not unworthy o f consideration,and is

,therefore

,respectfully

submitted to you for consideration .

I am,respectfu lly yours ,

vi INTRODUCTION .

In accordance w ith the above suggestion,the Toronto

Sem i-Centennial Comm ittee set apart one day for the U .

E . Loyalist demonstration ,and Mr. W m . B . McMu rrich

chairman of the Committee,placed the whole matter of

the Toronto celebration in the hands of Dr. Cann iff. A

meeting was called by Dr. Canniff,and a U . E . Loyalist

Centennial Comm ittee was appointed,and circulars w ere

sent to all the W ardens of counties and Mayors of cities,

asking their co -Operation . These circulars,which w ere

also sent to the new spapers of the Province,attracted

public attention to the matter,and at A dolphustown and

Niagara,where the early settlements actually took place

,

the descendants of the U. E Loyalists decided to hold

local celebrations . The A dolphustown celebration was

fixed for the sixteenth of June,1884. The first landing

of the Loyalists at that point having taken place on the

sixteenth of June 1784. The Toronto '

celebration was

fixed for the third of Julv ,and the Niagara one for the

fourteenth of A ugust.

The A ppendix contains a copy of the Order-in -Councilof the 9th November

,1789 , ordering a record to be pre

served Of the U. E. Loyalist settlers,and also a copy of

the U. E . List preserved in the Crown Lands D epartment ,at Toronto

,w ith all the notes and remarks in it complete.

This list,which has never been published before

,contains

the nam es of the many thousands of U. E . Loyalist set

tlers who founded the Province of Upper Canada .

The follow ing pages contain accounts of the three cele

brations in the order in which they came off.

N connection w ith the celebration , and as prelim inarythereto

,the corner stone of the Methodist U. E. L .

Memorial churchw as laid on Saturday 14th Junew ith peculiarly interesting ceremonies . There w ere present

,Rev. D .

V. Lucas, B . A .,of Montreal ; Rev. J. J. Leach

,of Odessa ;

Rev. M. L. Pearson , of Napanee ; Rev. A dam s,of Bath ;

Rev. Briden ,of Newburgh ; Rev. M . I. Bates , of Tamworth ;

and Rev. Mr. Gibson. A ll these participated in the proceedings. The ceremony of laying the corner stone wasperformed by Mrs . Joseph A llison ,

one of the few remaining ones of the first generation succeeding the U. E .

Loyalists . This lady having been for nearly three-fourthsof a century a faithful and consistent m ember of theMethodist church

,and being the daughter of one of the

Loyalist Pioneers,it was peculiarly fitting that she should

perform this office. The stone having been laid,refresh

ments w ere served,when an adj ournm ent was had to the

gospel tent,which had been erected across the road ,

where

10 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALIS TS.

Rev . Mr. Lucas delivered an admirable address appropriate to the occasion . He predicted a brilliant future forCanada so long as she continues her loyalty to Methodismand Great Britain. A few brief w ords from Revs. Leachand Gibson and the proceedings w ere brought to a closeby singing God save the Queen.

” On Sabbath,Rev. Mr.

Lucas preached three sermons in the tent to large audiences , his addresses being marked by pow er , force and apractical application to present circumstances and requirem ents . Seldom has it been the privilege of the people ofthis section to l isten to three such effective discourses inone day. The financial outlook for this undertakingmost encouraging

,as indeed it shou ld be

,located as it is

in the heart of a large Methodist community and in therichest section of this fair country.

On Sunday,15th June

,a sermon was preached at St.

Pau l’s church,A dolphustown ,

and St. Paul ’s church,

Fredericksburg,by the Rev. C . E . Thompson, M . A . I n

cumbent of Carlton,D iocese of Toronto

,from Ezekiel

,

xxxvi,28

,A nd ye shall dw ell in the land that I gave to

your fathers ; and ye shall be my people, and I w ill beyour God.

The preacher is a grandson of the late Sheriff Rattan,

one of theUnited Empire Loyalists. The sermon was replete w ith historical facts in relation to the Loyalists . A

highly eloquent discourse term inated w ith a reference tothe w ild idea of independence. He gave six months asthe time the independence craze would continue.The u sual Sunday quietude of the front was much

changed by the presence of the 15th battalion,which

arrived from Belleville in the morning at daybreak .

The battalion,under the command of Col. Lazier

, was

camped near by the place of celebration on the shores of

the bay,and the red coats gave an additional amount of

beauty to the scene.The regiment had D ivine service on the United Em

pire Loyalists burying ground in the afternoon. Rev.Mr.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 11

Forneri preached an eloquent sermon . He held up theChristian loyalty of the sires of Canada as a pattern tomodern Canadians.On Monday

,the 16th of June

,the celebration com

menced. From early dawn carriages began to arrive ; allA dolphustown and adjacent places w ere w ell represented.

The day was most auspicious . By noon a number of

boats from Belleville on the w est and Kingston on theeast arrived w ith decks crowded from all the interveningoints . The Picton troop of cavalry under Maj or FredWhite was among the arrivals. Three bands discoursedsweet music at frequent intervals , the fine band of the15th battalion

,the band from Picton

,and the band of

Kingston . The m ilitary display was very fine.The proceedings w ere opened by the playing of the

National A nthem and a public invocation of D ivineblessing on the day ’s festivities and those taking part inthem . In the afternoon the people w ere summoned aboutthe speakers ’ stand

,and addresses w ere del ivered . A bove

the speakers’ heads floated the handsome flag of theNative Canadian Society

,of Belleville. The programme

was opened by the playing of the National A nthem ,and

the invocation of the D ivine blessing and returningthanks for the prosperity which has attended the U . E .

Loyalists and their descendants,and the nation which

they founded .

The President,LEW IS L. BOGART

,who is over eighty

years of age,and who was selected for the position

because he is the oldest living male representative of theU. E . Loyalist band , came forward and delivered thefollowing brief but pointed address

LADIES A ND GENTLEMEN—u I can assure you that itaffords me v ery great pleasure to see so many present todo honour to our fathers and forefathers who landed at

this place a century ago tod ay. I f we go back in our

imagination to that time when the little company who

had left their all for the love of king and country, and

12 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS .

came here to hew out for themselves new homes in thisv ast prim eval forest, and then as we look around us to-day ,contrasting the past w ith the present, and behold a beautiful land

,beautiful hom es

,a country free from famine and

pestilence,where the pure bright sunlight of God’s love

shines down upon a prosperous , contented and happy people

,who enj oy the blessings of peace on every hand and

good w ill toward man,we wou ld be very ungrateful indeed

did we not appreciate the sacrifices and labours of our

pioneer ancestors in procuring for us so goodly a heritage.I can only say thatmy father and grandfather w ere amongthat company; and I rej oice that I have been spared tosee this grand centennial celebration in their homes .A lthough I feel incompetent for the duty assigned me

,I de

sire to thank you for the honour you have conferred uponme in choosing me to preside on this occasion .

A . L . MORDEN,Esq.,

vice-president,was then introduced

,

and delivered an adm irable address,of which the follow

ing is a brief synopsisThe present is an occasion of no ordinary interest .

The people of A dolphustown and those associated w iththem in the enterprise have put on foot this celebra tionin order

,to use the w ords of that grand old man

,D r.

Ryerson , to do at least a modicum of justice to thememory of a Canadian ancestry

,whose heroic deeds and

unswerving Christian patriotism form a patent of nobility,

more to be valued by their descendants than the coronetsof many a modern nobleman.

” Tod ay the people of

A dolphustown w itness the beginning of that for whichmany of them for som e time past have ardently toiled andhoped . To—day, A dolphustown extends a cordial w elcom eto the descendants of every U. E . Loyalist, and everyloyal citizen of Canada

,on these beautiful grounds . I f

A dolphustown be a small township , it is small only in itsacreage

,but it has standing ground enough for every

Loyalist descendant in the Province of Ontario,and the

people hav e hearts large enough to give them a hospita


ble welcome to this historic ground . W hen the Romandom inion was at its best

,when the city sitting upon her

seven hills from her throne of beauty ruled the world ,when the Romans from their lofty civilization and cul

ure dictated laws for all succeeding ,ages , Oimls Romanu s

sum,was the proud boast in which the citizens claimed

participation in all the greatness,the glory and the pro

tection of Roman citizenship. It is ours to-day to be ablein saying,

‘ I am a British subj ect.” to utter a prouderboast than the Romans . It is largely due to the effort ofthose pioneers who

,one hundred years ago to-day landed

upon this spot , that this fair and fertile P rovince , and w e

who live in it,are British territory and British subj ects .

W e do w ell tod ay to take thought,for a little time , and

congratulate ourselves upon our heritage , one which thelam ented General Brock called upon our fathers In 1812

,

Not to give their children cause to reproach them for

having too easily parted w ith the richest inheritance onthis earth— a participation in the nam e

,character and

freedom of Britons .” It is said we are a young countryand have no history,

but I have not read of any countrywhich

,during the last one hundred years

,has a more

glorious history. I f our forefathers for their ferventloyalty to Britain

,lost every thing but their honour

,and

bravely bore the hardships and privations of first settlers,

what feelings shou ld animate our breasts to -day,when

w ith our attachment to British laws , institutions, traditions

,rights and liberties

,there is added the intensity

of our attachment to the sovereign. Never had Britishsubj ects such reason for inviolable attachment to the ruleras have we to -day for Her Most Gracious Majestv QueenVictoria. Thirty years ago the poet Laureate prophesiedthat our children’s children would say of Her

She wrought her people lasting good,

Her court0

was pure,her life serene ,

God gave her peace , her land reposed ,A thousand claims to reverence closedI n her as mother, wife and queen.

”

14 UNITED EMPI RE LOYALISTS .

Tod ay this forecast is abundantly verified. But,ladies

and gentlemen,it is not proper for me to further occupy

your time. I am only here to extend to you a cordialw elcom e to our celebration , to break the ice , as it w erethe orator of the day is our cherished friend , the historianof the Bay Quinté Loyalists , Dr. Canniff. Thanking youfor the kind hearing you have given me

,I w ill conclude

w ith some words of Dr. Ryerson ,uttered at a meeting of

Loyalists at Brock’s monument May Loyalty ever bethe characteristic trait of Canadians

,may freedom ever

be our possession,and may w e ever have cause and heart

to say God Save the Queen.

”

D R. CANNIFF then delivered the follow ing address .LADIES A ND GENTL EMEN,

—Two hundred years ago ormore

,at a seaport town in Holland

,was to be seen on a

certain day,a sea-going vessel , around which w as the

u sual activity and bu stle incident to the final preparationfor a voyage. A s the w ork of taking in supplies andputting the ship in sailing order was going on

,a som e

what motley crow d of on-lookers regarded the scene w itha lazy

,listless air of indifference . Suddenly the atten

tion of all was quickened by a remarkable occurrence.The doleful tolling of a church bell

,heard now and again

above the din Of num erous voices,had passed unheeded

by those collected on the shore . Now,however, as there

appears a procession slow ly w ending its way toward theplace

,the solemn peals suggest the thought of death .

Leading the procession w alks a venerable looking man ,

whose garb and mien betoken a dom inie or minister ofthe Gospel . A fter him came a young couple in the firstyears of vigorous manhood, and the fresh bloom of womanhood

,walking hand-in -hand . They are clothed in holi

day attire,and have the appearance of a n ew ly w edded

husband and w ife . Follow ing them are a man and w oman,

whose grey heads and bent forms speak of advanced years .

Next is another couple , also in the decline of life. Then


walk two and two men,and wom en , boys and girls of all

ages. They all wear the habiliments of w oe , and the procession moves w ith a slow and solemn tread , as if following a loved one to his grave. A ll that is wanting tocomplete a funeral train is the hearse w ith its noddingplum es

,or coffin containing the body of one dead. The

spectators,hushed to silence

,gaze on the line of mourn ~

ers,and wonder and watch to see its course and destina

tion . With measured steps the dom inie is follow ed tothe vessel

,and over its side. Then they gather in a group

upon the deck around the young man and w ife . A

silence falls upon the assembled m ourners as the man of

God opens the B ible and reads from the inspired Booksuch w ords as give comfort and support to those who arebereaved . Now his voice is raised in prayer to God, andhis prayer reveals to all who hear , the cau se and reasonof this strange scene. First

,he prays that the aged

parents may have D ivine help in this their hour of trialin losing their dear children

,and that they m ight still be

happy in their earthlypilgrimage ,be received hereafter intoGod ’s kingdom

,and finally re-united to their children.

He then comm its to Him,who controls the w inds and the

waves,the young couple . He implores that they may be

in His graciou s care and keeping— these dear ones,who

to-day set out at once on the j ourney of married life, andto cross the w ide ocean

,parting forever in this life from

their parents and friends,and who are , as it w ere , to be

buried in the far away New World. W ords of counselfollow to the young pair, sympathy to the parents of

each is duly given . Finally,am id emotions which can

not be depicted,the mourners at last tear themselves from

the voyageurs,who cling to each other in this hour of

sore trial. The stricken parents have looked upon theirchildren for the last time ; they, in turn , shall see theirparents’ faces no more in this w orld .

This is a picture from real life presented at the periodof time I have mentioned. Having determ ined to seek

16 UNITED EMPIRE L OYALISTS.

new homes in America,this young man and woman knew

,

in making this choice,they wou ld leave parents and

hom es,w ith no possibility of seeing them again. Cross

ing the A tlantic then was a far different matter fromwhat it is to-day

,w ith rapid steam navigation . The

name these young emigrants bore is one w ell known In

A dolphustown . It was found among those who accompa

nied Maj or VanA lstine when he landed on this spot onehundred years ago to- .day A nd

, pardon me for adding,

I can claim to be,on my mother

’s side,one of the descen

dants of that pair, and there are not a few present whocan make the same claim

,and whom I am proud to

know as kinsm en. The story was often told .me by myvenerated mother many years ago . I have presentedit to you to-day

,not merely for

b

personal gratification,

but to show the stern courage which characterized thefirst settlers in A merica. Many nations of Europe contributed equally bold and intrepid men and women topeople the A tlantic coast of this continent. England

,

Ireland,Scotland

,W ales

,Germany

,and Holland gave

their most vigorous sons,and the Huguenots of France

formed a rich quota to lay the foundation of the UnitedStates and Canada.

It was mainly the descendants of these hardy pioneersof the seventeenth century

,who a century later became

exiles from their fathers’ hom es,and who penetrated to

the wilderness of Upper Canada to plant the noble Prov ince of Ontario . Why was it they left the comfortablehomes their fathers had made

,and the place which by

their labour,energy

,and enterprise had from a w ilderness

blossomed into a goodly fru itful land ? This is not thetim e to fully -discuss the events attending the great A merican rebellion of 1776 . This is not the place to W eigh thecontrolling motives which caused a portion of the BritishAmericans at that time to take up arms against theMother Country

,nor the abiding principles which im

pelled another portion of the same people to stand true

had come. England recognized the independence of theColonies

,and the loyal Am ericans found them selves w ith

out homes , and aliens to the land of their birth. Theyw ere not only homeless and aliens , but they were subj ectsof persecution. Many would have accepted the changedcondition and have become reconciled

,but they w ere de

priv ed of their property and their lands were confiscated.

How the Loyalists departed— som e driven away,and

som e becau se they would not live under any but theBritish Flag ,

and how they found their way into thewildernesses of Nova Scotia, New Brunsw ick and Canada ,is a sad and touching story

,a story which has never been

fully told. Says an American w riter,speaking of his

countrymen :“ Our writers of history have been almost

silent upon this topic,and it is not impossible that some

persons have read books devoted exclusively to an accountof the revolution w ithout so much as imagining that aconsiderable part of the force employed to suppress therebellion was composed of our countrymen .

”

But whyhas not the story been told by the U. E. Loyalists themselves ? The w ords of the same writer gives the answ er.He says Of the reasons which influenced

,of the hopes

and fears which agitated,and of the m iseries and rewards

which awaited the Loyalists of the A merican revolutionbut little is known . The most intelligent

,the best in

formed among us confess the deficiency of their knowledge. The reason is obvious. They, who like the Loyalists separate themselves from their friends and kindred,who are driven from their homes

,who surrender the hopes

and expectations of life , and who become ou tlaw s , wanderers and exiles— such men leave few memorials behindthem . Their papers are scattered and lost and their verynames pass from human recollection. TO this may beadded the statement that the pioneers of any country

,

struggling to create a hom e and procure the necessariesof life

,have no time to devote to w riting history or re

cording events. The consequences have been that while

CENTENNIAL CELEBRA TION. 19

the Americans for a century have been engaged in w riting up the Revolution from their point of view ,

the historyof the A merican Loyalists has received but little attention

,and many of the facts relating to their history have

been irretrievably lost.No wonder then that the U. E . Loyalists are not only

mostly forgotten,but have had their conduct

,their mo

tives,and their characterm isrepresented by partisan s . The

efforts made by that noble and patriotic Canadian,that

grand descendant of the U. E . Loyalists— I refer to thelate Rev. Dr. Ryerson— to place before the w orld a moreaccurate estimate of the Loyalists, and the attempts byothers

,in later years

,to rescue from oblivion facts honour

able and praiseworthy relating to them,have been received ,

even by the Canadian public,with almost incredulity

,when

not w ith cold indifference . During the hundred yearsthat the Loyalists have been engaged in converting thew ilderness into comfortable hom es , the press of the Un itedStates has occupied itself

,the thousands of A merican s

abroad have been assiduously at w ork educating the w orldto the effect that the Am erican Tories of 1776 w ere theoffscourings of the land

,the v ilest o f the vile

,w orthy only

of being execrated by mankind . Not only the daily and

w eekly press has been thu s engaged,but the school books

used by the young in the United States,and sometim es

in Canada , have contained the most ou trageou sly partialaccounts of the struggle and the participants on eitherside . Never was history so perverted

,n ever did misre

presentations so effectually deceive . Not only have thechildren of the United States been imbued w ith hatredtow ards the L oyalists ,but the modern Englishman ,

Sco tchman

,not to say Irishman

,has accepted the teachings of

partisan A m erican w riters. Even Canadians may befound who have nothing but praise for the rebels of 1776 ,

and nothing but obloquy for those who did not think rebellion was a ju stifiable act. British statesm en and th epress of Great Britain have seemingly vied to see which

could offer to the scream ing goddess the most profoundadulation . It w ou ld be amu sing w ere it not hum iliatingto see Canadians so - called

,shall I say bastard Canadians

,

especially those by adoption,endeavouring in a feeble

way to cast discredit upon the U . E . Loyalists . With themost superficial know ledge of the subj ect

,they under

take to instruct native Canadians respecting their fathers .They mostly set out on the supposition that the Loyalistshad no love o f liberty

,that they w ere w illing to be al

most,or quite

,serfs or slaves

,and to pay taxes to the

Imperial treasury without Parliam entary representation .

But nothing could be more at variance w ith the truth . Inthe first place

,a vast number of those who u ltimately

sided w ith the rebels w ere indifferent about the questionof liberty. A great many j oined the insurrectionists simply to advance their personal interests

,and could their

interests have been equally served they w ould have beenfound on the side of the Loyalists. With not a few it was

only a struggle for Oflice and power. On the other handthere w ere a very large number of Loy alists who recogn ized all the evils which really did exist in the relationship betw een England and Am erica. They w ere not blindto the injustice which ,

in many ways,was evinced by the

Crown toward the colonies . But they did not and couldnot see a su ffi cient grievance to justify rebellion at leastthey desired to seek redress by peaceful means . A nd thoseacquainted w ith the conflict of Opinion among Britishstatesm en at that tim e as to the rights of A merica knowthat , had peaceful m eans been pursued ,

all the complaintsw ould

,in time

,have been removed. Then it must not be

forgotten that Britain had given money and blood to conquer French Canada in the interests of the colonies .It is subm itted

,as adequate proof of the statement

,

that the U. E . Loyalists w ere not w ithout a love of liberty,

that the subsequent history of the British provinces,set

tled by them,presents a steady and healthy development

in liberal government ; and to-day Canada has more


liberty and the government of the people is really m oredemocratic than the U n ited States . The sapient w ritersI have referred to

,are w ont to assert that the contest for

responsibl e government in Canada w as betw een theLoyalists

,joined together in a fam ily compact

,and some

body else ; but whom has never been made qu ite clear.But as a matter of fact it was the general mass of theU. E . Loyalists who Obtained the benefits of responsiblegovernment. The “ Family Compact” represented onlya fragment of the U . E . Loyalist element

,and was by no

means composed exclusively of that class . The love of

liberty was manifested by the Loyalist settlers of UpperCanada in manyways . In the Declaration of Independenceof the colonies it is Stated that “ all men are born free andequal . How far this principle was carried out by theUnited States

,history tells us in w ords no one can mis

understand . A s a matter of fact it was not until 1865 ,and after a bloody w ar in which hundreds of thousandsof lives w ere sacrificed

,that slavery was abolished , and

the w ords I have quoted really stated the condition of thepeople of the Un ited States . The proclamation of President Lincoln

,made necessary by the exigencies of the

war,was made 70 years after the U. E . Parliam ent of Upper

Canada had passed an A ct to prevent the further introduction Of slaves

,and to limit the time of contract for

servitude w ithin this province. A nd during this periodCanada was the asylum of the down-trodden of theUnited States . A gain

,but time w ill not permit. How ever, I hesi~

A s Dr. Canniff concluded his address,the 15th Battalion

The stone,which was lying on the ground, j ust at the

edge of the plot u sed for the burial ground, was soon sur

rounded tw enty deep by people anxious to w itness theceremony. A ll being ready

,R. W. Bro . A rthur McGuin

,acting as G. M.

,made a brief address, in

the course of which he eulogized the Loyalists , and saidthat the only reason why such men had not already hadsome such tribute as was now proposed to be erected totheirmemory

,must be found in the fact that such acknow

ledgments of the people’s love and gratitude must comewhen there was time for the cultivation of the arts andw ealth to accumu late. He and his brethren deemed itan honour to lay this corner-stone

,as a monument to the

memory of men who had sacrificed so much for theirallegiance to the British flag. The mystic rites havingbeen duly solemnized

,a prayer was offered by Worship

selections near the speaker’s stand .

The addresses from the grand stand w ere then resumed .

Mr. D . W . A L L IS ON,M . P. for Lennox, was called to

the chair. He announced as first speaker,

S IR RICHARD CARTWRIGHT, who came forward am id

applause . A fter greeting the audience,among whom

he_recognized many old friends

,he proceeded : I do

not believe you could be assembled for a more laudable or patriotic purpose than that which has brought

you together tod ay . W e are here for the purposeof doing what honour w e can to the m emory of men

to whom w e owe it that not merely Ontario,but one

half'

the continent of North America,remains to-day

under British rule. It is desirable,too

,that w e should

endeavour to understand the magnitude of the sacrifice made by the noble band who a hundred years agodrew up their batteaux on the shores of A dolphustown. These men w ere not inconsiderate youths ; theywere men

,most of them of mature years

,and some ad

vanced in life,who won for themselves comfortable inde

pendence in a country south of us . A t what they conceived to be the call of duty, they w ere ready to sacrificeeverything that men commonly hold dear ; resign thewealth they had accumulated

,forfeit their prospects

their own and their children’s— for sake of their loyalty tothe flag under which they had served , and under whichmany of them had fought and bled. That was not anordinary act

,and men who performed it w ere cast in

no ordinary mould. Nowadays it is far too common tojudge a man’s acts by the standard of mere material success. These men had something nobler and loftier beforethem . Had it been worldly prosperity they looked forthey would have cast their lot in w ith the Republic tothe south of us had they blenched from the trials before



A merica. He predicted also that ten years after Canadawas conquered ,

the other colonies w ould assert their inde

pendence. A s you know , who have paid attention tohistory

,that was fu lfilled almost to the hour and day.

Canada was ceded to Great Britain in 1763 , and w ithintw elve years thereafter the first blood was drawn in thestruggle which resulted in the independence of theUnited States of A merica. The letter first predicts that ifGeneral W olfe understands his trade that Montcalmmust be defeated and declares that as this defeat meansthe total loss of North A m erica

,he w ill not survive .

I console myself,nevertheless

,for the prospect of my

own defeat, and of the loss of the colony, by my firmconviction that this defeat w ill prove in the long run

better than a victory for France , and that the conqueror,England

,w ill find a tomb in her own conquest. This

may appear a paradox ,but a little reflection and a glance

at the political situation in North America w ill prove thecorrectness of my opinion . A large portion of the English colonists are the children of men who left Englandduring the period of the civil war, and betook themselvesto A m erica to find a country where they m ight live and

die in freedom and independence. I know them thoroughly

,not by hear-say

,but by means of sure information

and correspondence which I have arranged myself,and

which if my life had been prolonged , I had meant toturn to the advantage of France. In fact all the Englishcolonists wou ld have shaken Off the yoke long ago

,and

every one of them would have becom e a little independent republic had it not been for the fear of France attheir doors . A s betw een two masters they preferredtheir own fellow countrymen to foreigners , taking care ,meanwhile , to render no more Obedience than they couldhelp ; but if Canada is conquered , and if the Canadiansand the English Colonies become one people the very firstoccasion on which England w ill appear and interfere w iththeir interests

,do you suppose the Colonists w ill obey

her ? What have they to fear if they do revolt I amso perfectly certain of the truth of what I have writtenthat I w ill only allow ten years after the conquest of

Canada to see my predictions accomplished . N ow you

see the reason which consoles m e as a Frenchman for theimm inent danger France is incurring of seeing Canada.

lost forever.”

Most of the L oyalists whom w e honour to-day hadfought for the supremacy of Great Britain and of theBritish race in North America

,and they thought after

such great sacrifices that had been made they were boundto see that the English race was not robbed of the priceof the sovereignty of this continent. Remember whenin 1775 , the Colonies decided to break off their allegiancethis struggle was of very recent date ; that many of themen served under British generals in the armies whichconquered Canada and took Quebec. There were men of

different classes among the Loyalists . Some w ere im

pelled simply by honest and laudable instinct of loyalty tothe flag to which they had ow ed allegiance , and they wereprepared to make sacrifices for that loyalty. I wouldhave you all to make sacrifices where necessary for yourconvictions ; but besides these there w ere others amongthat hand. These men

,as their nam e United Empire

Loyalists show ed,thoroughly appreciated the enormou s

future which aw aited the English race in North A merica.

It would be a mistake to suppose that they whollyapproved of the course of the British Governm ent. A s

their correspondence show s,they obj ected

,as Burke and

Chatham obj ected,bu t they felt it w ould be a thousand

pities and a disgrace to the race , that after all that hadpassed

,the English race should allow itself to be split

into fragments,and we have numerou s proofs Of how

powerfully these m en’s acts and feelings affected thewhole destiny of this country . Gentlemen

,the Loyalists

builded better than they knew . They cam e a handfulof men

vince of Ontario, and yet they have given to a very greatextent impulse and direction to the feelings and destinyof four or five m illions who now inhabit the Dom inion.

But for the effect of the example and traditions they leftbehind them

,I believe you w ould not see yonder flag float

from this ground to -day. I f there be here,as possibly

there may be , a few of those veterans who recol lect thewar of 1812 and 1815

,they w ill tell you how pow erfully

the example of the L oyalists strengthened their hands forthe desperate struggle to preserve Canada to the BritishCrown .

Look to history and you w ill not find a case in thewhole range in which a handful of men maintainedthemselves successfully against desperate odds

,w hich

reflects more lustre on the people who did it,than the

struggle Of our fathers in that war. A merica placedalong the frontier men

,a greater number than the

whole male population of the Prov ince capable of bearing arm s at that tim e . A ll the aid the British Government could send during the first year was four companieso f regulars . S he sent us also Brock

,who alone was

w orth an army. Brock w ith eighteen hundred men

reduced three thousand A mericans to capitulation. Inthe face of the great European wars

,the deeds of heroism

on the frontier of Canada w ere lost sight of,but it is not

for any patriotic Canadian to forget them. I have saidelsewhere and I now repeat that the colony of Ontariohas a proud pre-eminence among the colonies of Britainfor this reason . A ll the other colonies have been foundedby men who sought to better their condition

,or w ere

founded by the Government of Britain,or obtained by

conquest,but Ontario stands alone as the colony founded

by men making great sacrifices to maintain their alle

giance to Great Britain . I know of but one cornmunity in A merica

,or elsewhere perhaps — that founded

by the Puritan fathers in New England . I am not going tomake a political harangue

,but I have ventured in an


other place to point out how I thought w e,descendants

of the U. E . Loyalists, m ight best act in the spirit of our

forefathers . Bear in m ind that what these men soughtto prevent was a division which France sought to fosterbetween the great portion s of the English race. I believethe Loyalists

,and the people of Canada who derive their

inspiration from them,can best do justice to the spirit of

their forefathers by doing what they can to bring togetherin a union all the English -speaking races in the world. Istate as a man loyal to Britain and to British institution s .I believe I know whereof I speak when I say no suchservice can be rendered to the people o fGreat Britain andof the whole world than to remove all chance of hostilitybetween the two great branches of the English race . A s

a descendant of a loyalist,I say it w ould be a w ork to

which any man m ight be proud to consecrate his life . Itis the part of w isdom for us to do what w e can to fulfilthe obj ect for which our forefathers sacrificed so muchto bring together as a united people

,if not under one

Sovereign,at any rate in one alliance offensive and de

fensive,two great nations , which ,

to the misfortune o f

the world,have been severed and alienated . You may

call this a dream — Cavour was called a dreamer when hehoped for a united Italy Bismarck was condemned as av isionary when he saw in the future a German Confedcration . The English speaking people are not inferior tothe Italians and Germans

,when the real w elfare of their

race is at stake. In closing,he urged upon the Canadians

to imitate the heroism of their ancestors,because the

nation could never become great,unless some citizens were

w illing to sacrifice themselves for the general good,and

Canada at the time needed such m en .

The REV. D . V. LUCA S,Mon treal

,then addressed the

meeting as follow sMR. CHA IRMAN,

LADIES A ND GENTL EMEN.— I esteem it

a very great privilege indeed to be permitted to jo1n W 1th

the distinguished statesman who has just addressed you ,


and w ith you all in doing honour to those worthy peoplewho

,one hundred years ago, landed upon the spot where

we are now assembled,to lay in this Province the founda

tions of civilization . W e are carried back in our thoughtsto those days . Few of us know anything of the hardships through which these pilgrim fathers ”

of Canadahad to pass . Pushing one’s way into a new country today

,by means of our railways and other modern facilities

is not what it was a century ago .

However much we may adm ire their courage and fortitude in braving the rigours of Canadian w inters , and thedifliculties of making homes for them selves and theirposterity in the Canadian forests

,we hav e met tod ay

m ore particularly to adm ire the Spirit which brought themhither

,and if possible to catch som ething of their devo

tion to principles which through the m edium of theBritish Constitution

,Heaven itself

,in their estimation

,

had bestow ed upon them .

W e go back in thought a little farther,to those days

when the older Colonies of Bri tain on this continent,de

cided to dishonour the flag,under whose aegis they had

received all that is excellent in their present political system . I do not stop now to question the m otives of thosewho excited the colonists to rebellion. It is enough forthe present to say that

,the men whom Canada delights

to honour,regarded the course of the insurgents as a most

unrighteous one,and rather than give it their cons ent and

aid,chose to begin anew in this northern part of our

great continent,where even amid cold and poverty and

hardships of various kinds they m ight still live under thefree flag of Britain

,and enj oy the blessings o f which that

flag is the emblem.

When w e consider the present progress of our nativeland to which our honoured fathers directed their steps

,

and the excellence of our political institutions,and the

grand future which is evidently before our beloved D Om inion

,we feel that these noble men of

’

a hundred years


ago,built better than they knew . They honoured the

flag of England and the principles which that flag repre

sented,and w e have met to honour them . I trust

,Sir

,

that while w e are less w orthy than they ,those who come

after us w ill at least respect us for assembling on this,the

first centennial anniversary,to do honour to those noble

and devoted fathers of our Canadian Dom inion .

It might not be unprofitable,Mr. Chairman

,to go still

farther back and rem ind ourselves of the grow th of liberty in England, and of the British Constitution. Som ehow ,

more than among other nations of Europe,there

seems to have been in the English Isle,from the earliest

ages,an intense desire for liberty. The great A lfred had

said that it was “his desire that the people of Englandshould be as free as the air they breathed . Through cen~

turies,most of those wars, aside from those associated w ith

the conques ts, w ere S imply a long struggle betw een the

despotism of kings on the one hand,and the inherent love

of liberty on the other.The constitution of England as w e now know it

,was of

S low growth , but each century found it more in accordw ith the w ill of the people. The last great elem ent of

liberty may be said to have been introduced into the constitution when William III . and his queen S igned thememorable Bill of Rights on their accession to the throne

,

after the abdication of James 11. A m erica had by thistime been brought more fully to the notice of the peopleof the old w orld

,and it was hoped that those grand prin

ciples , for which the English people had so long struggled ,would find scope and development on this continent, suchas might not be accorded them where there still lingeredconsiderable sympathy w ith royal ambition and ecclesiastical conservatism . Though it is hard to find excuse forthe arbitrary spirit of George III.‘ and his advisers

,and a

maj ority of his parliament , yet as has been clearly shownby D r. Ryerson

,the difficu lty betw een the Home Govern

ment and the Colon ies m ight have been adjusted w ithout

32 UNITED EMPIRE L OYA L ISTS .

secession on the part of the latter, and, as the sam e distin ~

guished writer has shown , would have been in harmonyw ith the general wish of the A mericans, if it had not beenfor a few ambitious leaders urging the people on to , asour fathers thought

,an unjustifiable rebellion ,

and somehow we cannot divest our m inds of the thought that ourfathers w ere right.The long history of the struggle on the part of their

ancestors for constitutional freedom was deeply engrav en

on their m inds . They loved that history and were proudof it. Their fathers had fought to make the grand o ld

flag of England the emblem of all that was good politically . I f it could hav e been shown that there was still

lacking some element of pure constitutional liberty,they

w ere w illing to labour to secure it, but to tread both flag

and constitution in the dust,looked to them not only as

an insult to Him who had so helped their fathers,but an

insult to the cherished memory o f their fathers as w ell.Be that as it may ,

w e rej oice when w e remember theirloyalty

,not merely because w e admire the principle itself

,

but because of the blessings which their loyalty hasbrought to us .

Look at our w idely-extended country, w ith its greatfertility

,its salubrious atmosphere

,its broad acreage of

arable land,its lofty mountains

,magnificent rivers

,rich

m inerals almost incalcu lable in extent,w ith its valuable

forests and fisheries— a country almost as large as thewhole of Europe— and remember that because of the devotion and loyalty and self-sacrifice of those men whomw e to -day commemmorate

,all the principles of British

constitutional liberty are ours by birthright.The British Constitution

,modified in some of its de

tails to m eet our colonial requirements,w ithout in any

sense changing any of its general principles,becomes to

u s the highest type of political freedom,and offers us the

easiest political yoke borne by any people under Heaven .

Talk of annexation to the United States . That is im

but who w ere equally ready to recognize the paramount duty to Fear God.

The U . E . Loyalists w ere,w e believe

,religious as w ell

as loyal men,and wherever they settled in Canada

they laid the foundation not alone Of patriotism but

also of piety. Therefore we,their descendants and de

voted admirers,have deemed the erection Of a HOU SE OF

PRAYER a significant and appropriate memorial em bodying these two great principles

,which the sons of the

ancient Church of England have been ever foremost andsteadfast in upholding— principles we would endeavourto inculcate in our children

,and transm it to future gene

rations in this country,V I Z that along w ith the duty

w e owe to ourselves in maintaining civil and religiou sfreedom

,we are no less bound to be faithful in discharg

ing what is due by loyal men to their Sovereign , and byChristian men to their God .

It is an auspicious coincidence that on this day,17th

June,the Church of England comm emorates in her calen

dar England’s Proto-Martyr,St. A lban

,the first man who

on Britsh soil sealed w ith his life-blood his testimony as aloyal subj ect of his Heavenly King

,our Lord Jesus Christ.

May his name,under which the m emorial church is to be

dedicated to God,ever unite our affections to the dear

old mother land,and inspire us all to follow the example

of one who held not his life dear for the cause of Christ.A nimated by such sentiments

,we have undertaken this

pious work , which ,we rejoice to know ,

has received thewarm approval of your Honour as Lieutenant-Governorof the Province

,and as yourself

,an illustrious member of

a famous U. E . L . family. W e have asked you ,Sir

,to

put to it the first hand in laying the corner stone , and w etender our very gratefu l acknow ledgements for your kindcompliance w ith our request. We beg to assure you thatit is to us a matter of the m ost lively satisfaction andcongratulation that the Chief Magistrate of our Province

of Ontario, representing Her Gracious Maj esty,should

honour us w ith his presence and co -Operation on this occasion . For in whatever other respects w e may have degenerated from the noble U. E . Loyalists of 1784,

we mayfain hope we may justly claim to be their rivals in firmattachment both to the THRONE under which it is ourhappiness to live, and to that great EMPIRE of which we

mess . Chief Sampson Green was the first introduced to deliver an address

,on “ The Un ion of the Six

Nations.” He appeared in full Indian costume and was

accompanied by other members of his band in full warpaint and feathers. He first expressed the great pleasureit afforded him to take part in this important gathering

,

in honour of that patiotic and heroic band of refugees,

who freely gave up their all as a sacrifice to their loyalty.

He review ed the traditional history of the Indians of

A merica and especially of the Six Nations,of which he is

a representative . He claimed that the Indians are theoriginal A mericans

,and he felt proud of being a descen

dant of the aboriginal inhabitant of this continent. Healso felt a pride in the fact that

,in the day of trial

,when

the m aj ority rebelled against British rule,his peopl e re

mained firm in their allegiance,and fought

,bled and died

beside the pale face in defence of the Union Jack,to up

hold its sway on this continent. He explained how theSix Nations came into existence by an alliance Of sixsmaller tribes against the Oppression of the doughty

,

powerful and bloodthirsty Iroquois. He explained theirsystem of government

,by which all legislation originated

w ith the Mohawks ; after being approved it was thensent to another tribe and considered

,adopted or amended

as the case m ight be,until at last it reached Onondagas

,

or firekeepers , but the Mohawks w ere possessed of thepow er of veto . The Onondagas were called the fire

keepers because they always started the fire at the GreatCouncil

,kept it burningh and finally extinguished it when

the Council was completed. A t the present day,instead

of lighting and extingu ishing the fire,they make the

Open ing and closing speeches . Finally the Iroquoisthemselves sued for adm ittance to the confederation

,but

their application was rej ected . The tribe to which hebelonged came from the Mohawk flats

,remained at

CENTENNIA L CELEBRA TION. 39

Lachine a short tim e and then cam e on to Tyendinaga ,which spot was selected by aptain John . The rese1v e

was named after the great Chief Tyendinaga , who ledthe Mohawks to Canada. When Christianity was proposedto the Six Nations it was considered

,and four accepted

,

but two rej ected the Christian faith ,and to this day tw o

of the tribes are Pagans . A lthough these tribes arePagans

,they may be fairly termed religious . They be

lieve In the existence of a Suprem e Being, but instead of

w orshipping God I n solemn exerci ses,they return thanks

to the Great Spii it for pure water,an abundance of

berries,the full corn in the ear

,and all the blessings of

peace and plenty,by dancing and other rej oicings. Their

religion does not permit of stealing or lying,but they

have no scruples in regard to Sunday w ork . He statedhis conviction that the only way in which these tribescou ld be Christianized w ou ld be first to educate them and

then place the Bible in their hands. W hat they can readthey w ill accept

,but what is told them by m issionaries is

received with diflidence or suspicion . He again referredto the loyalty of the Indians on many occasions whentheir adherence was severely tested. In 1812 many of

the Indians fought w ith the British troops,and in 1837

the speaker’s father w ent to the front w ith his band,and

returned w ith one S calp which was erected on a staffopposite the church

,and a tree planted in honour of the

event which is to be seen to this day. In 1866,w ith 17

others,the speaker w ent to the front to assist in driving

back the Fenian invaders,and in th e future

,as in the

past,he was assured that his band would be found ever

faithfu l to the old flag,and ever ready to shed their blood

in its defence. The Mohawks,when they landed

,con

sisted of fifteen fami lies ; they now number oversouls . They at first owned the whole township of Tyendinaga, but they had sold a portion

,and the money

,

$127,000, is invested w ith the government to provideschools and religious insti uctors . They have now four good


schools and two churches. He thanked the committeefor the invitation to participate in this gathering

,which

he considered a great honour to himself and his people.The next speaker was CAPT. GRA CE of Lindsay. He

said,

MR. PRESIDENT,LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

,— I t is rather

a matter of good fortune for me that the Lieut.-Governoris not here at present

,and thus an opportunity is afforded

me of expressing to you all my feelings, which I thinkare those of all gathered here

,and in this my endeavour I

crave your indulgence . The deeds which w ere the firstcauses o f this settlement about us w ere those of men towhom principles and loyalty w ere nature ’s inspiration ;w ere men

,who to us have Shown examples worthy of

imitation ; w ere men who by the sacrifice of home com

forts and luxuries have left their images of force of w illand self denial. This morning’s ceremony was a matterof gratification to all

,and to us it was a bounden duty to

commemorate the memory of those dear ones of old,w ith

fitting tribute as far as the outward w orld is concerned ;but one cannot help thinking of those brave men

,who

,

one hundred years ago,landed here to the right

,leaving

happy homes, w ealth and comforts, to seek out a new

home for themselves in nature’s forest,apart from monu

ments of stone and mortar,and appreciating them by

those feelings which emanate from the inspiration of our

mothers,and we cannot help thinking of those good

old men of § yore , as Shakespeare did when he suggested by w ords

,which in substance meant the folly of

endeavouring to commemorate intrinsic w orth in stoneand mortar. Our country

,a rich branch of the m other

tree which springs from the A tlantic and casts her shadows to all quarters of the globe, it should be our

bounden duty to sustain in proper relation to thatmothertree

,defending her interests by all in our pow er

,which

defence is but what we owe.

It was w ith pleasure I listened to the various speecheso f yesterday ,

and however dampened the love of our

famed lakes of Sw itzerland. Canadians had a right to beproud of their land ,

and by no other means than by loving it and honouring it could they make it a great country . W ithout patriotism people w ere a m ere co llection of

individuals,bu t if j oined by a comm on bond of love of

country,they became an irresis tible pow er. Here every

man w as free ; here ev ery man has the opportunity tocarry on the great responsibil itie s that rested upon himin building up this country . They did no t want to bej oined to the U nited States . Canadians w ere anxious tol ive at peace w i th them . Glad of their success es and

,

who lived in w alled cities . They lacked in education andalmost every form of en lightenment, and he himself hadseen w omen harnessed along w ith cow s draw ing a loadon the public highway near Rom e . He advised them toremain loyal to this grand coun try,

and to the Empireunder whose fostering care it had grown to its presents tate .

congratu lated the people upon the large assembly,and

MR. PARKER A L L EN dwelt upon the hardships sufferedby the U. E . Loyalists as contrasted w ith the comfort euj oyed by the people he represented. I t was n ecessarythat the Committe e should have money to proceed w i ththe monum ent

,and he asked that liberal subscriptions be

,Incumbent of St .

,added a few w ords . He

said in substance,that it gave him great pleasure

,as the

grandson of W illiam Ruttan, one of the U . E . Loyalist


settlers in A dolphustown ,to be here on this occasion

,and

to help in doing honour to the memory of these noblemen . He could not say much beyond what had been al

ready said,but w ou ld exhort them to be true to the tra

ditions of their forefathers,and to maintain

,un broken

,

their connection w ith the great and glorious empire forwhose integrity their ancestors had so greatly suffered .

He would rem ind them that on this day they were passing through the ann iversary of that great final struggle

,

whereby,on the field of W aterloo , the valour and endur

ance of the British army w ere so gloriously shown .

Surely to have a share in such a m agn ificent achievem entas this ought to make us most highly value the priv ilegeof being British subj ects . The time for speak ing was

short and he would now call on them to w elcome him who

was about to address them— himself a Canadian born— thegrandson of a United Empire Loyalist , the son of onewhom Canada was proud to number among her brilliantarray of lawyers and judges , and the husband of a ladywhose grandfather shared in the privations and toils of

the first settlers in this very neighbourhood— a gentleman,

who had come here as the Lieutenant-Governor of theProvince to do honou r to their celebration , to j oin w iththem in paying respect to the Loyalists of 1784 and toinaugurate the erection of w ell deserved monuments totheir memory.

LIEUT.-GOVERNOR ROBINS ON having arrived

,w as now

introduced . He expressed regret at the delay that had occurred , but claimed that he was hardly responsible as thehospitality of the clergy and citizens , and afterward thatof the militia had prevented him from appearing sooner.He considered it a duty for the Lieut.-Governor to showon every occasion his appreciation o f the volunteer militia and acknow ledge the great things they had done forCanada. In 1776 when the militia was

‘tampered w iththey stood staunch to the old flag. In 1812 they hadbeen equally brave in manifesting their allegiance , and on

44 UNITED EMP IRE LOYALISTS .

other occasions they had given proof of their valour and

loyalty,and it was therefore a plain duty he Should ex

press his appreciation Of their organization and theirservices . W hile he was pleased to meet and receive thehospitality of the m ilitia

,he was equally w ell pleased to

meet such a large gathering on an occasion so important toall Canadians . A n A merican once discussing the variousforms of government claimed that the Canadian was thebes t in existence , forwhile the people paid all the expensesthe Governor had all the fun . Part of his fun was to receiv e the hospitalities of to-day,

to see so many good looking ladies and gentlemen

,and to know they w ere all intent

on one laudable purpose— do ing honour to the memory o f

those who had suffered everything for their loyalty. Upto a certain point the acts of the English Government inreference to the thirteen colonies were oppressive. U. E .

Loyalists did not uphold that Oppression,but when e it

came to revolt,and they saw something more than redress

of the grievances was to be demanded,they

,through years

of war,show ed heroism and devotion to their convictions

seldom equalled in the history of any country. He recognised old names , having heard them from his youth . Theyw ere the names first known here by the arrival of theheroic band who landed on this point one hundred yearsago . I f w e had a grand country we owed it to them .

He had heard the question discu ssed as to whether thetime has come when our political status should bechanged ; it was not for him ,

as Lieut .-Governor,to dis

cuss these matters , but he would say to Loyalists thatwhile others , be they gentlemen o f the press or politicians ,discuss that question— the descendants of Loyalists canafford

,know ing what they knew of old times

,to mark

time and listen to the discussions . They must recollectthat if the medicine is given hurriedly

,the physician

must take good care that the death o f the patient doesnot follow . He hoped that the young people would markthis day,

and that when fifty,or sixty

,or seventy years


hence they went overmemory’

s records,they would think

that this great celebration took place in the regime of

Governor Robinson . Know ing the blessings we have received under the British Constitution w e can afford toremain some time longer at any rate without changingour position . He regretted that he had not before visitedthe lovely scenes through which he passed to-day . Heregretted that he had not before had the opportunity of

making the acquaintance of the people of this district,

but he hoped this w ould not be his last visit. He hopedthey would make this day a grand and permanent suc

cess . He hoped they would testify in a substantial waytheir regard for the Loyalists by subscribing liberally tothe monument to be raised to their memory.

Mr. D . W. A LLISON,M.P .

,though suffering from tempo

rary illness,consented , at the earnest request o f many,

toaddress the meeting. He dw elt with feeling on the scenewhich this point had w itnessed a hundred years ago yesterday,

when the pilgrim band of Loyalists landed at theoutskirts of an unbroken w ilderness

, which Ontario was,

and contrasted that w i th the scene of life and luxurywhich the place presented to-day. He dw elt also uponthe strong contrast between the condition of the Loyalistsand Of their descendants of to -day. The first w ere victims of persecution ,

leaving all for the sake of their loyaltyto their country and to duty

,braving hardships and pri

vations that they might have the flag they lov ed floatov er them . Their descendants possess the land whichthey had redeemed from the encumbering forests

,and in

that land peace and plenty reigned,so that even the poor

est enj oy advantages which the best of their forefathers cou ld not hope to secure . The colonists of thesedays

,instead of com ing in the face of all hardships

,had

colonial roads and railways prov ided in advance of themin the w ilderness. The first apples grown here w ere fromseed brought over by the first party when they came . W henthe first crop was ripe the man who grew them called all

46 U NITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS .

the people of the settlement— men ,women and children

— together,and the apples w ere shared equally. Had that

been in this day,the man who had the apples would have

been governed by the law of supply and demand,and

would have sold the apples to his neighbours at the highest price . I t had been stated that there was settlementat Kingston before here

,but those people did not leave

the States till after Independence was declared , and thedate given for the Kingston settlement was too early forthat. He contended this was the first settlement , and

that the first line of this township of A dolphustown was

the first line ever run by a surveyor in Ontario. Heclosed by expressing pleasure at the large turn out to dohonour to the memory of Loyalists .Mr. J . J. W atson

,Secretary of the Celebration Com

mittee read a letter of regret from the Hon . G. A . Kirkpatrick

,Mr. A . F . W ood , M. P B ,

and others,who had ex

pected to be present , but w ere unable to do so. He explained also S irJohn Macdonald’s absence by stating thathe had a letter from the Premier stating that owing toill health and press of w ork at hom e he would be unableto attend . This concluded the afternoon proceedings .

THIRD A ND CLOSING D A Y .

The main feature of to-day’s proceedings w ere speechesunder the Shade of the trees , and over the graves wherethe U. E . Loyalists lie buried .

Mr. D . W . A llison,M.P .

,first occupied th e chair

,but

he afterwards gave place to Mr. Parker A llen. Both areVice-Presidents of the Celebration A ssociation

,but Mr.

A llison claimed priority for Mr. A llen. The principalspeaker of the day was Dr. J . H . Sangster

,of Port

Perry. Dr . Sangster follow ed in the footsteps of theformer speakers in contrasting the prosperity and com

fort of to day w ith what the Loyalists found when theylanded

,and what they obtained for years after. He ela .

borated the idea far more , however , and caused not a lit"

CENTENNIA L CEL EBRATION . 47

tle amusement by going into the details of daily life , contrasting,

for instance , the young lady of to -day at herorgan o r piano

,w ith her grandmother whose humble art

was con fined to the music of the w ash -board . He drewa brilliant picture o f the fu ture of Canada

,the result of

her m igh ty extent of fertile soils . The aristocracy of England proudly traced their lineage back to the uncultu redinvaders who cam e w ith W illiam of Normandy. Muchmore proudly could the descendants of the Loyalists boastof their ancestry. He recogn ized the fact that Canadaw ou ld some day be independen t ; but separation from themother country could not com e except in the natural wayw ithout straining or undu e haste . Canada had not onlya soil-bracing climate

,but God-fearing earnest men and

w omen,and he urged all Canadians to do what they

could to make the future of the country commensuratew ith its possibilities . A bove all

,he spoke to the de

scendants of the Loyalists to Show their zeal in Canada ’scause . He called upon them because there was an intelligent pride of birth

,of ancestry ,

which ennobled tho sewho w ere moved by it and had a m ission to promote thearts of peace

,and to give to the w orld the highest stand

ard of national honour. He recognized the difficulties inthe w ay,

and the m ost pressing and important of thesew as the bitterness of party spirit. He urged upon thepoliticians of both parties to devote m ore attention tonational

,and less to party advantages .

MR. W M. A NDERSON,W arden of Prince Edw ard county

,

was then called upon. He stated that some of those whow ere here yesterday found fault w ith the carrying out of

the arrangemen ts . He thought that the committee haddone all that m en cou ld do

,and they deserved the thanks

of the commun ity for having given somanythe Opportun ityto celebrate the noble deeds of the U.E . Loyalists . He commended the people here for having begun these ceremonies by the laying of the corner- stone of the church.

He did not agree w i th Dr. Sangster in the fear that party

48 UNITED EMP IRE LOYA L ISTS .

rancour would ultimately w reck the ship of State. Hebelieved very strongly that party feeling was less bitternow than it formerly was

,and w ith the ameliorating

Christian influences everywhere at w ork this improvement must continue . He dw elt upon the great work begunby the Loyalists

,and contended that the Dominion

,which

they had founded,was the first country in the world to

day . A n A merican speaking w ith him had boasted Of the

fact that the States had gained their independence, thatthey w ere free

,but their liberty was based upon the prin

ciples recognized in Britain , the benefit of which the people in Canada enj oyed

,and their system of government

,

like that of Canada,was almost a Copy of the British

form .

MR. ROBT. CL APP, of Prince Edward county, spoke onbehalf of that county

,assuring the people of A dolphus

town that they had .the sympathy of all in their com

memoration of the U. E . Loyalist centenary .

Mr. J. J . W ATSON,secretary of the committee

,presented

an excuse from Mr. W. A . Reeve , Toronto , who was tohave addressed the meeting.

The people soon after began to leave the grounds,and

the A dolphustown U . E . Loyalist Centennial CelebrationW ES over.

T O R O N T O,

Thursday, July grd , l884.

HE United Empire Loyalist Centennial Celebrationin Toronto was commenced on the morning Of Thurs

day,July 3rd,

1884,in the Horticultural pavilion

,the

gathering taking the form of a publicmeeting, interspersedw ith musical selections . For a morning m eeting the attendance was exceptionably good

,the hall being about

filled . There w ere a few Indians present, descendants ofthose who accompanied the Loyalists to Canada in 1784.

In the rear of the platform hung the old flag presented in1813 to the 3rd regiment of York Militia , by the ladies ofthe county. Dr. Canniff

,City Medical Health Officer

E.W. C lendenan ,Chiefs Hill and Cross (Tyendinaga) , Dr .

Hillier (Bowmanville) , and others .The Chairman saidz— Ladies and Gentlemen— One hun

dred years ago the foundation of this province,the Pro

v ince of Ontario , was laid by a band of pioneers knownas the U nited Empire Loyalists. W e meet to—day to commemorate the event. I n appearing before you as chairman oi this representative and brilliant gathering

,it is

only appropriate that I should briefly state why it is thatI,so poorly qualified for the duties

,should occupy so dis

tinguished a position. It S O happens that the Sem i-Centennial of the incorporation o f the city o f Toronto is thecentennial of the settlement of the province . W hen myfriend

,Mr. W . B . McMurrich

,while mayor of the city

,in

augurated the scheme for the celebration Of the Sem i-Centennial of Toronto

,it occurred to my m ind that it w ou ld

be a fitting thing to combine w ith the Sem i-Centennial ofthe capital of the province a celebration of the cen tennialof the province itself . The idea having been suggestedto the Sem i-Centennial Committee

,it was decided to set

apart Thursday of the Sem i-Centennial w eek as the U . E .

Loyalists ’ day. Mr. McMurrich having intimated to me

that I should take the initiative in making the necessaryarrangements for this day

,I took steps to convene a m eet

ing of those living in Toronto interested in the matter.Among those present at that meeting was His Honour theLieutenant-Governor, a distingu ished descendant of a distinguished Un ited Empire Loyalist. The LieutenantGovernor did me the honour to nom inate me as permanent chairman of the comm ittee

,and I was consequently

elected to the position. The next step in the matter was

a convention of delegates from different parts of the province . A t this convention my appointment as chairmanwas unanimously confirmed . I need not say that I esteemit a great honour to fill the position. The first duty rest

54 UNITED EMPIRE LOYA LISTS .

ing upon me is on behalf of the committee to w elcome the

representatives of the U. E. Loyalists who are assembledhere

,and the gentlemen who have honoured us

,and the

ladies who grace the occasion . Our celebration differsfrom the city’s in this respect— that it is held under theauspices of the Provincial Government . W hile the substan tial aid afforded by a Government grant is thankfullyrecognized

,the great gratification is that the w orthy U.

E . Loyalist pioneers of the province were officially recognized. In so doing the Government honours itself no lessthan the pioneers of the province. I am heartily glad toinform you that I do no t feel called upon to occupy yourtime in speaking upon the subj ect which is foremost ino ur thoughts. I hav e already

,on another occasion and at

another place,said all I m ight have w ished to say on the

subj ect relating to the U. E . Loyalists , but in any case Ishou ld prefer to leave the matter in the hands of the gentlemen who are to speak— gentlemen w ell known for theireloquence— who will do ample j ustice to the occasion .

The pleasing duty now devolves upon me of carrying out

the programm e placed in your hands .Mr. Sims Richards sang “ Rule Britannia in a man

A S the chairman has rem inded us,just one hundred years

ago did the Loyalists of A m erica,abandoning home

,pro

perty,every w orldly gain and advantage

,rather than

forego their allegian ce to the British Crown ,and in the

face of hardships and trials,such as m ight have daunted

less brave and resolute hearts,com e to what was then a

w ilderness,and becom e fathers and founders of what w e

now so proudly call the Domin ion of Canada. It con cern su s not

,upon this occasion

,to inqu ire into the m eri ts of

that unhappy quarrel which cost Great Britain the A merican colonies . A mple j us tice has been done by the w riters and historians of that day,

and down to the presenttime

,to the motives and actions of the successful revolu

tionists . More than justice,in fact

,for too many of the

chron iclers o f these events have not been satisfied w ithexalting the actors on the one side , and ascribing to themevery v irtue

,but have most unju stly and ingeniou sly de

preciated and m isrepresen ted those whose greatest crimewas that they w ere loyal and tru e to their sovereign

,and

w illingly sacrificed every w orldly possession rather thansev er their connection w ith the Empire .

” The UnitedEmpire Loyal ists of one hundred years ago valu ed libertyas much as the revolutionists

,but they w ou ld have secured

the redress of their grievances by other m eans than bysevering the tie which bound them to Great Britain, and

when the party of revolution becam e the stronger and thedie was cast

,and the ultimate appeal made to the sword

,

then they drew it for the king, and never sheathed ituntil the struggle was over, when ,

rather than preserve


land or possessions,or secure an immunity from pereceu

tion and ill -treatment by the abandonment of their principles

,they determined upon that grand exodus which we

commemora te this day,and manfully set their faces to ~

w ard the w ilds of N ew Brunsw ick ,Nova Scotia

,and

Canada,to become the first founders of what is yet, thank

God,an integral part of the Empire

,the fairest j ew el in

Britain ’s Crown . The history of the cruel persecutionand unjust legislation of which the loyalists w ere madethe subj ects in most of the States of the A merican Unionafter the close of the struggle and the establishment of theRepublic

,were it only more generally known , would as

tonish those even among our own countrymen who haveso much admiration to bestow upon the successful revolutionis ts

,and but little sympathy for the heroism and

endurance of those who remained faithful to the cause , asthey believed it to be

,of loyalty and honour. Undoubt

edly the revolution,ow ing to the bitter animosities

engendered by the struggle,frequently led to cruel repri

sals and deeds of bloodshed on both sides but that couldnot justify. the cruelty and persecution with which hundreds w ere visited who had taken no active part in thestrife

,or the expatriation of the many thousands whose

only crime had been their refusal to renounce their alle

giance to their king. In a w ork called Loyalists of

A merica and their Times,

”

written by that distinguishedman ,

the late Rev. Egerton Ryerson ,himself the son of a

U . E . Loyalist,there occurs the follow ing passage A t

the close of the war, instead of w itnessing,as in the case

of all other civilized nation s at the term ination of a civilwar

,however rancorous and cruel , a general amnesty, and

the restoration of all parties to the rights and propertywhich they enj oyed at the commencement of the strife ,the Loyalists found themselves exiled and impoverished ,and their enem ies in possession of their homes and domains .

their way to Canada by W hitehall , Lake Champlain ,Ti

conderoga, and Plattsburg, and then ,turning southward

,

proceeded to Cornwall , thence ascending the St. L awrence

,along the north shore of which many of them

settled . Some am ong the earliest of the refugees hadsailed round the coast of New Brunsw ick and Nova Scotia

,and up the St. Law rence to Sorel , w intering there ,

and the following spring prosecuting their voyage in boats ,until they reached their destination at Kingston

,then

called Cataraqui. But the most common route from New

York and that part of the States taken by the Loyalistswas on the Hudson River to A lbany

,then up a branch

o f the Hudson called the Mohawk,and by a branch

of that river,called Wood creek

,to Oneida lake

, and

from Oneida lake to Lake Ontario by the Osw ego River.Flat-bottomed boats

,built or purchased by the Loyalists

for the purpose , were used for their j ourney ,and some idea

may be formed of the arduous nature of that j ourney whenw e rem ember that the boats themselves had to be hauledand al l their contents carried over the various portages

,

which are stated to have amounted altogether, on the wholej ourney

,to more than thirty miles in extent . From OS

w ego som e of the Loyalists coasted along the easternshore of Lake Ontario to Kingston

,and then up the Bay

of Quinté ; others w ent westward along the south shoreof the lake to Niagara and Queenston some pursuedtheir course to the head of the lake at Burlington ; othersmade their way up the Niagara river to Queenston, conv eyed their boats over the portage of 10 or 12 m iles toChippewa

,thence up the river and into lake Erie , and

settled in what was called the Long Point country,now

the County of Norfolk . A s you all know , in order to rew ard the loyalty and to relieve the present necessities of

the Loyalists and their families , as w ell as to provide fortheir future subsistence, the British Government madeliberal grants of land in Upper Canada . The Bay of

Quinté was , I believe, among the first to be surveyed and


settled,and the settlement of what was then called the

Midland D istrict commenced in the summ er of 178

The new settlers w ere provided w ith farm ing implemen ts ,building materials

,and provisions

,and some clothing for

From these emphatic words , the Unity of the Empire,it

was styled the United Empire List , and they whosenames w ere entered upon it w ere distinguished as UnitedEmpire Loyalists .” A nd now one hundred years havepassed away since that honour roll was drawn rip

an occasion like the present,how nobly the old Loyalist

spirit show ed itself when Canada subsequently becamethe battlefield during the war betw een Great Britain and

forth from their homesteads , and acquit them selves likemen in resisting the invaders who strove to wrest theiradopted country from the British Crown . S ir

,it is a just

subj ect of pride to us Canadians that,thanks to the

loyalty and the pluck of the m ilitia and volunteers of

those days , w ithout distinction of class or nationality,the

Canadas,w ith a frontier of more than m iles

,and

aided only by a few regiments of regular soldiers,resisted

the whole m ilitary pow er of the United States for tw o

years , at the end o f which not one inch of Canadian soilwas in possession of the invaders . Behind us hangs aflag"here the speaker turned and pointed to it] which I

thought w ou ld not be an uninteresting relic to be displayed onthe present occasion . That flag w as presentedby the ladies of York in 1813 to the third regiment of

York Militia . In some old manuscripts now depositedin the library of the Dominion Parliament

,called the

Coventry papers, and relating to the early history of

Canada,and especially to the war of 1812

,there is con

tained an account of the presentation of this flag,on be

half of the ladies of York , by Miss Pow ell, daughter of

Chief Justice Pow ell , its consecration by D r. Strachan,

afterwards so w ell known as the venerable Bishop of

Toronto,the reception of the colours by Maj or A llan

,

commanding the regim ent on that day, and who afterwards became its colonel , and the comm ittal of the coloursto the charge of Ensigns Charles Denison and EdwardThompson . The records of those days show what goodservice the flank compan ies of this regiment did at thecapture of Detroit and the glorious battle of QueenstonHeights . A nd the old chronicler in the papers I havereferred to goes on to speak of the devotion andgallantry of those who had been so lately called awayfrom the enj oyment of every peaceful blessing to defendtheir property and rights

,and the safety and glory of

this highly favoured portion of the British Empire.” Mr .

Chairman,I am persuaded that the same spiri t that


characterized the Canadian m ilitiamen and volunteers in1812 and the Loyalists of 1784s, breathes in their descendants now

,and that my countrymen w ould be ready and

prepared now,as then

,if occasion should unhappi ly requ ire ,

to defend not only “then rights and property ,

but thesafety and glory of this Domin ion

,as one of the most

highly favoured portions of the British Empire . True ,w e do find a certain class of w riters in our m idst attempting to decry loyalty to the Crown and attachm ent to Imperial connection as incon sistent w ith true patriotism and

pride In our country as Canadians . I yield to no one

in my love for my native country The very soil of

Canada i s dear to m e . I love her lakes and forests , hermighty rivers

,her broad and fertile fields . I am proud

o f the past history of my country ,o f the w onde i ful pro

gress it has made not on ly I n material prosperity ,but in

all that contributes to the higher life o f a na tion,its ad

vancem ent in education andb

cu lture,the fitness our peo

ple have displayed for free and con stitutional governm ent,and that observance of law and orde1 which is the noblestcharacteristic of the A nglo—Saxon race . But all this isentirely consistent w ith a deep and abiding love andattachm ent to the Motherland

,whose glOI ious tradi t ions

we inherit,and which are the common property

01: every subj ect of the empire . Is there anything serv ileor unpatriotic in the feeling which m akes the pu lse beatmore quickly and the heart sw e ll , as w e recall the gloriousdeeds of Britain’s heroes on land and sea— whether in theold days of W ellington and Nelson

,W aterloo and the

Nile,or

,com ing down to our time

man ; or but yesterday,as w e read of the 1ush of the

Highlanders upon the foe at Tel El Kebir . Is thereanything servile or unpatriotic in that feeling o f reverence and afiection for all that is great and noble

,

in thelives and characters and w orks of the long array of statesmen

,philosophers and poets , of men of mark in Church and

State,that have made Britain ’s history the proud and

glorious one that it is ? Is there anything servile or nu

patriotic in that sentiment of deep and chivalrous loyaltyto the sovereign which takes ou t of self and makes m en

dare to do and die from the highest motives of faith and

duty ? S ir,are not all those feelings which elevate and

ennoble a people A nd if it is good for us to recall to-daythe loyalty and patriotism ,

the brav ery and endurance of

our Loyalist forefathers , shall w e abandon the rich heritage of centuries

,and cut ourselves and our children

adrift from the glorious memories and associations whichnow belong to us Canadians as members of the one greatUnited Emp ire ? I am persuaded of better things of mycountrymen . The o ld Loy alist spirit is not extinct . I t

he w ent to England and made an appeal to the peoplethere on behalf of one of the schools . He succeeded inhis m is sion

,and found the English the kindest people

under the sun . He found them as his forefathers hadrepresented them to be— ladies and gentlem en of the firstrank . He obtained a gran t in England to carry on thew ork for tw enty years. He was proud to be there toassociate w i th the descendants of the U. E . Loyalists

as his forefathers had associated with their forefathers .He believed Canada ranked w ith any nation on the globeacccording to its age .

They took an active part in securing the country to theCanadians . The D eni son family were not only soldiers ,but descendants of the U . E. Loyalists

CENTENNIA L CELEBRATION. (37

LIEUTENANT-COLONEL GEORGE T . D EN I sON said— Mr.

Chairman,ladies

,and gentlemen

,we meet tod ay in honour

of the U.E ' Loyalists who a hundred years ago came hereand founded this province . Their coming was the resultof their loyal adherence to a great principle . It was notso much a question of what is called loyalty as devotionto a particular type of government.The great question fought out in the United States , in

1776 , was whether they should be ruled by a republic or amonarchy

,and when the U. E . Loyalists were defeated in

the States they came here,and established this province

upon monarchical institutions . In 1812,an attempt was

made to annex this country by the people of the UnitedStates

,and to make us a republican people . This was a re

petition of the struggle between the two forms of govement. A t that time Upper Canada was a sparsely settledcommunity

,and w e had about of a population

,ai

most altogether consisting of U. E . Loyalists and their descendants

,while the United Sates had a population of

something like ten millions . The odds were enormou s , infinitely greater than they w ould be to-day. Fortunatelywe had at that time the right kind of a man at the head ofaffairs

,General Brock. He was one of the great men of

all history. He called together the volunteers of this city ,

told them what they would have to encounter ; told themwhat odds were against them ,

and asked them to followhim to the front. Every one of them responded . Invasionfollow ed invasi on

,and although the odds w ere always

against us,the fortune of war w as w ith us . Of the vic

tories over the invaders we all know . A t the end of thefight we had not lost a single inch of Canadian territorywhile we had the State of Michigan ,

and had burned thecapital city of our enemies .This was the lesson w e should teach our children ,

and keep it ever freshly remembered as a ground of

hOpe for us,to give us confidence in the future . The

U. E. Loyalists deserved the greatest credit for the

68 U NITED‘

EMP IRE LOYA LISTS .

gallant stand they made in 1776 for m onarchical institu tions

,bu t they deserve ten thousand times more

credit becau se,when the odds w ere against them , they

maintained their rights,and handed them down unim

paired to u s . The people of Canada live in the freest country on the face of the globe

,and must appreciate what the

U. E . Loyalists have don e for them in preserving it fortheir descendants .

Let u s compare the position of Canada to-day w iththat of the U n ited States . W e have every liberty todo what is righ t

,but w e have no license to do what is

w rong. Our law s are honestly administered . Lifeand property are safe in this coun try. I n everythingwhich affects the individual

,this is the freest and the

best country. In the State of Kentu cky, in ten years,

there have been 700 murders,and yet there has been

in that time on ly one hanging by process o f law . Therew ere convictions for murder across the line in 1883

,

and only 93 hangings,while 118 people w ere lynched .

The chances of a murderer escaping after he is convictedin the Un ited States are sixteen to one . The number o fm urders in England am ount to 237 per annum in eachten m illion s ; in the United States they are 820

,or

three times as many . A re w e not better off than the people of a country where they carry deadly w eapons w ithimpun ity ; where lax divorce law s have shaken the sanctity of the marriage tie ; where the principal , if not thesole test of respectability is w ealth

,and where lynch law

spasm odically attempts to remedy the lax adm inistrationof justice by the regular cou rts , and for the fact that w e

are l iving under a better and freer system ,we have to

thank the U . E . Loyalists , who saved us from annexation .

A gain,our system of governm ent is simpler

,cheaper and

more dign ified . Our n eighbou rs have n ever consideredwhat it costs them to elect the head of the State everyfour years . I was told by a prom inent gentleman connected w ith one of the party organizations in one of

CENTENNIA L CEL EBRA TION. 69

the S tates , that the expenses of his party I n that Statealone amounted to $600 ,

000 for the Presidential election .

Counting the expenditure for all the States and for bothparties

,it w ould seem that the cost of an election w as

or at the rate of a year. Thatsum w ould pay the whole expense of maintaining the

Royal hou ses of England,A ustria and Germany. A nd

w ith all the expense , they had at the head of theStates simply the representative of a faction

,and very

often only of the w ire-pu llers and tricksters of that faction . W ithout expense , w i thou t labor , w orry or anxiety ,

w e Canadians have a sovereign respected by all polit icalparties

,and by all the w orld . For this we have to thank

the United Empire Loyalists .In talking of loyalty to the Queen, I speak of her as the

Queen of Canada. I am as loyal to Canada as any man

upon its soil,and it is because of that loyalty to Canada,

and Canada alone,that I am loyal to the Queen

,believing

that living under the institu tion s of which the Queen isthe representative

,Canadian s w ill becom e a better and a

greater race of people .

There is another point to be considered in reference to this great question of republicanism and men

archy. The great obj ection to a republican form of

government is that it is very uncertain and unreliable .

I f we look at the republics of the w orld w e sha ll find thatthese republics have rarely,

if ever,been a success

,except

among poor,sparsely settled countries . The republican

form of government is liable to lead to constant civil war.

That is the experience o f history. The republics of SouthAmerica and of Mexico have had civil w ars and bloodshed every few years . Ever since they des troyed the legitimate monarchy in France

,they have had revolution and

bloodshed about every fifteen years . But it m ight besaid that that is not the case in the U nited States . Ithink that the same thing is beginn ing there . In 1830— before which date they did not hav e the same time to

70 U NITED EMP IRE L OYA L ISTS .

‘

give to politics —when General Jackson was elected President

,there w as a narrow chance of parties breaking out

in civil w ar ; but a vigorous man being at the head of

i tfairs that was prevented . In 1860,when the Demo

cratic party was de feated, the country was visited byone of the m ost terrible civil wars known in history ,

onew hich loaded their country w ith debt, and drenched theirfields w ith blood. I n 1870 there w as another great risko f war

,which certainly w ou ld have taken place had the

late war not occurred so recently. Twenty years w ill notpass w ithout civil w ar again breaking out in that country

,

and if Canadians know what is good for them theyw ill havenothing to do with them

,or their form of government.

I w ish to say a few w ords about independence . This isthe sam e old question under another form . It is theRepublican idea

,as Opposed to the Monarchical

,and

it is no t the first time it has come up in this country .

I t came lip in 1776 , when A rnold and Montgomery camehere and tried to annex the country. But the lately-conquered French stood by the Crown

,and the schem e w as

defeated . In 1812 the same question was up,and by the

lavish shedding of Canadian b lood our rights and libertiesw ere preserved . In 1837 a rebellion was begun

,headed

by a s tranger,a new - comer , bu t the loyalists of that day

came out in defence of the constitution. It is true therew ere then many grievances to be remedied. The governm ent was by an irresponsible executive . There reallyw ere grievances

,but the descendants of the Loyal

is ts kn ew that no matter what the grievances w erethey w ere nothing compared w ith what they w ouldhave had to submit to in a republic. The Loyaliststurned out en nurses and the rebellion was put down .

In a few prominent politicians,a litt le annoyed

about some political matter,signed an annexation mani

fes to,bu t instantly the feeling of the Canadians was

shown to be so strongly against them that it dropped at

once . In 1871, the Canada First movement began . I


was a member of that par ty,and had a good deal to do

w ith it , because I consider Canada befOI e any o the I country in the world. But one gentleman made the m istakeof believ ing that som e of the members w ere in favom of

independence,and speaking in that spiI it killed the thing

w ith a b1eath . Manyag entlemen left it

,feeling that thei1 ac

tionwas likely to be m isunde1stood.

From whom comes this cry for independence ? No t

from the real Canadians,but from a few hangers on

of the new spaper press - a few wanderers and Bohemians— men who have lived indifferently in Canada and

the States,and have never been satisfied anywhe

men w ithout an atom of stake in the country . A nd

do you think that the people of Ca.nad.t a i e go iv

g to

submit them selves to the guidance of such men .

”

3 Never.

The independence party inCanada can almos t be countedon one ’s fingers and toes . The movement did not amount

to anything,and the moment t I s people of Canada then 0 ht

it did,the real feeling of the counti y w ou ld manifes t it

self. I w ou ld like to ask these gen tlemen whether theythought it fan and honest of strangei s to come how to air

their theOI ies,trying to inte I feI e w ith a prosperous , happy ,

and contented people— a people who have no griex

ances they cannot easily I emedy themselves . W hat thesemen want

,goodness only knows . I f Canadian s are not an

independent people,I do not know where such a people

can be found .

I have read their arguments,and they do not amount

to anything. They say,

“ I f we w ere independent w e

could have an officer of our force in command of our

militia .

” The law which requires an officer o f the

British A rmy was passed by the repI esentativ es of theCanadian people

,and can be repealed by the sam e pow er .

They find fau lt because we hav e the Privy Council as a

Court of final appeal . I look upon it as a great blessingthat Canadians have a tribunal so learned and impartial ,s o free from all bias through party squabbles

,to adjudi


cate on points of difference . Independent nations oftenrefer questions of di lierence to foreign tribunals

,yet

they do not forfeit their freedom by so doing.

There I s not a single point I n whichw e are no t as w ell offas our n eighbours

O

But w e hav e this also,w e belong to the

greatest empire the w orld has ever seen. W e have allthe credit and respectability attached to being connectedw ith so great an empi re

,and our ambition should be to

become the m ost pow erful part’

of that empire They saya Canadian cannot hold his head up because be ’docs notbelong to an independen t natio

‘n — that if he did "he w ouldbe a great fellow . They try to appeal to our vanity . I f

w e w ere independent , w ould we be any greater "a peoplethan w e are to -day . Take Brazil

,an independent empire

,

w ith about the sam e territory,tw ice the population

,and

three times the revenue o f Can ada,and who would not

rather be called a Canadian than a Brazilian? W ho w ouldnot rather be a Canadian than a Mexican The whole oftheir arguments w ere fallacies . The reason w e areproud of being Canadians is that Canada is not onlyone of the finest countries on the face of the globe

,and

going to have as fine a population as can be foundanywhere

,but also that it is a part of the great em

pire to which w e are proud to belong.

I have endeavoured to show that e very attempt to bringabout independence in the past had been put down by theCanadian people by bloodshed

,and there could not be any

attempt to bring Republican institution s into this countryw ithout bloodshed . I ask these w anderers

,these Bohe

m ians , therefore , whether it is right of them to come hereand interfere w ith us

,when they have the opportunity of

going to the United States, where they can get a Gov

ernm en t exactly as they want it— where they canfind a sim ilar climate

,and a people speaking the

sam e language . They have no excuse to remain here ,for when they can so easily get what they wantthey should go to the United States

,and leave us alone.

The band of the l 0th Royal Grenadiers was presentand played for som e time in the beau tiful grounds ,outside the conservatory. Several interesting addressesw ere delivered

,his Honour being the first to speak . He

began by saying that he had just returned from hearingspeeches that did justice to heroic m en . He w as glad to

w elcome the descendants of those heroes at Gov ernmentHouse

,and would like the people of Ontario to know that

there is at least one place in this Province where politicsdo not intrude

,and where all w ere w elcome . He referred

to his being a descendant of a U. E. Loyalist,and w as

only sorry that he could not do full j ustice to theirmemory. No w ords could adequately describe the loyalty

,

and dev otion of the heroes who shed their blood to defendthe grand old flag that now floated above Governm entHouse . Sons of such sires could not forget their deeds ,and look ing back through the long vista of a hundredyears we see them forsaking the land that had beentheirs

,to carve their way through the forests of Ontario .

They left their broad acres and the graves o f theirfathers through their love for Britain and British institutions . It gave him pleasure

,he said

,to w elcome the

A merican gentlemen present. He had smoked the pipeof peace w ith them

,and hoped that none but the most

friendly relations w ould ever exis t betw een Canada and

the American Republic. He had been in N ew Yorkwhen they w ere

"

celebrating Evacuation Day. A t the reception which he attended the health o f the Queen w as

drunk w ith the greatest enthusiasm,and he w ould n ev er

forget the remarks made by the chairman on that occasion .

Said he : W hen I look around and see w ith what enthusiasm the health of the Queen o f England has been received ,

I cannot bu t think that after all the evacuation so far as w e

are concerned was not a thorough success . I t was really adismal failure . for although w e succeeded in getting rid of

78 UNITED EMP IRE L OYA L ISTS.

a few Englishmen then , they have com e back in overwhelming numbers , and thou sands of English vesselscarry our comm erce round the w orld , and w e could but illafford to lose them .

”

A lthough a reverse was sustainedby England in that desperate struggle of a century agoit has not been w ithout lasting benefit . It has foundedthe supremacy of the English race , and it was his prayerthat it m ight ever continue . The labour demonstrationof the previou s day had shown what Canadians w eredoing. They have a great heritage

,thanks to their noble

ancestors,and he was glad that all classes w ere trying to

appreciate it. Numbers do not make a country,but the

enterprise,intelligence , and loyalty o f its inhabitants.

His Honour then called upon Mr. Leroy Ho oker, who

commenced by saying that though not a descendant of aU . E . Loyalist he was as every Canadian shou ld be

,a

United Empire Loyalist,one who believed in Canada

,and

in the great bright fu ture that is open ing for it. Mr.Hooker was follow ed by Mr. Kirby

,of Niagara

,a gentle

man w idely known in W estern Ontario . He spoke of thesettlem ent in Upper Canada by the U. E . Loyalists

,and

gave a short account of some o f the stirring incidents thatoccurred during the war.

Lieutenant-Governor A ikins,of Man itoba

,w as the next

speaker. He paid a glow ing tribute to the U. E . Loyalists ,who gave up everything for king and country ,

and saidthat bout for them the map w ould not show such a largeextent of country on this continent under the flag of

Britain as it does.The Rev. Mr. A nderson

,who has been among the Cana

dian Indians almost from Childhood,follow ed . Of the In

dian Loyalists who fought side by side w ith their whitebrothers

,he spoke In the most favourable terms . But for

them the tide of battle w ou ld often have turned againstus

,and a debt that can never be fully paid is due to the

aborigines who fought for us .

His Honour Lieutenant-Governor Robinson then madea few additional remarks , and the visitors w ithdrew .

,

— The time has arrived when we shouldbegin the proceedings of the day. I am much pleased to

CENTENNIAL CELEBRA TION. 83

see so large a gathering of the descendants of the U. E .

Loyalists on this classic ground, to do honour to the mem

ory of those noble men and w omen who,rather than live

under an alien rule,left all the comforts and luxuries of

their w ell fi lled homes that they might found in the thenw ilderness o f Canada a new home

,where the British flag

might still wave over,and British law s still govern them .

This decision,on their part

,brought w ith it many hard

ships and disadvantages. But the result has fully justifiedthe w isdom of their choice

,and w e

,their descendants

,now

reap the benefits of their sacrifices in the possession of

this noble Canada of ours, whose fertile acres reach

from the A tlantic to the Pacific,and contain ing w ithin

its bounds all the elem ents of a great and prosperousnation . A country of lakes and rivers

,of noble forests

and almost boundless prairies. A country that every descendant of the U. E . Loyalists w ill be proud to acknowledge as the land of his birth

,and be w illing to defend

to the best of his pow er. Many a time,in my early

youth,I have listened w ith w rapt attention as my grand

mother told me the story of the capture of Fort W yomingby Butler and Brant (I n which she w as detained as belonging to a loyal fam ily) , of the long j ourney from theMohawk river to Osw ego

,through the then almost un

broken forest,traversed only by an Indian trail ; how ,

on arriving at Osw ego,she and others embarked in an

open boat for Fort Niagara ; how they were n ine dayson the lake and five days w ithou t food except the hips ofthe w ild rose which they gathered on shore

,and how an

Indian W oman was sent ahead for supplies , which camein the form of hard cakes

,strung on a pole

,and carried

by two swift Indians,but which cam e non e too soon .

These and many incidents o f savage cruelty,and una

voidable hardships,made me look with w onder at the

kindly old face,as she told m e the tales of olden times .

A s Chairman , it is out of place for m e to make a longspeech , especially as our time is lim ited

,and there are


many present,who are better qualified than I am to do

justice to the occasion . I w ill,therefore

,now call upon

the Lord Bishop of Niagara to open the proceedings w ithprayer.

THE RIGHT REVEREND THOMA S BROOK FUL L ER,Lord

Bishop of N iagara,then made the following prayer :

O A lm ighty everliving God"who in the inscrutableways of Thy providence didst perm it the early settlers ofthis fair land to be driven from their comfortable properties in the revolted colon ies ; from their farms , their m illsand their stores

,out of pure attachm en t to the British

thron e,and after enduring many and grievous hardships

and sufferings Thou didst bring them to this glori ous landto hew out for them selves new homes I n the w ilderness

,

gr,

ant w e beseech thee,O Lor

,d that the descendants of

those noble parents may ever carry out the principles bywhich those who settled here an hundred years ago weregu ided ° may be loyal and devoted servants of the Crown ;faithful servants of God ; honest and industrious membersof society and good n eighbours ; continually striving toadorn the doctrin e of God

,their Saviour

,in all things

,

through Jesus Christ our Lord — A men .

”

LI EUTENA NT—GOVERNOR ROBINS ON w as called upon asthe first speaker. He thanked the chairman and the

audience for their kind reception of him . This was thethird time he had been called upon to greet the descendants Of the U. E . Loyalists gathered together to celebratethe deeds of their an cestors . A t A dolphustown

,on the

shores of the beautiful Bay of Quinté,thousands had

gathered to do honour to the noble dead , and but a feww eeks ago he had had the p leasure of meeting representatives of the U . E . Loyalists from all parts of the Province

,at Government House. The spot where they now

stood was historic ground. Here in this old town Of

Niagara the first Parliament of Canada assembled,and

they then passed the jury law,and an act declaring that

from that time there should be no slavery in Upper Can


ada. Those w ere great and good law s,and the fact that

they w ere so early passed was a just cause of pride toCanadians. Col . L ittlehales

,one of the staff of Governor

Simcoe,made the first trip through the in terior of this

Province,of which therew as any record . Part of that rec

ord was to the effect that before going to rest at a stationnear the site of the present city of London they sang “ God

Save the King,and now a hundred years after

,at every

public meeting held in any of the finéJ

hallS in which thepeople assemble they hear the strain s of “ God Save theQueen .

” He dw elt upon the heroism of the men Of theRevolutionary W ar

,and of the w ar of 1812

,as an incen

tive to the people to cu ltivate the sam e spirit . He eulo~

gized the Indians , representatives of whom he saw present.I f above our heads floated the British flag to—day ,

theyhad to thank the Six Nation Indians in large m easurefor it . Some undertook to sneer at the feeling of loyalty,

of which they w ere proud . But those m en could notunderstand this feeling,

but they,who w ere m oved by it ,

felt that the spread of it among all people would be tothe benefit of the country. The current literature of England show ed that the fact was being recogn ized that thecolonies w ere almost of as much value to the empire as

was the empire to the colonies . I f this feeling w as car

ried to its final outcom e the result w ould be largely dueto the bravery and loyalty of the United Empire Loyalists

,

who have saved to the British Crown this finest unoccupied part of the world .

The Venerable BISHOP OF NIA GARA n ext spoke . Hesaid I am not the son of an U . E . Loyalist

,in the strictest

sense of the term,though my m other

’s father,Capt . Eng

land,Of the 47th Regiment British army,

lost blood atBunker ’s -hill

,on the right S ide

, (laughter) and after thewar settled at Kingston ,

Upper Canada . I have ever adm ired the noble body of m en who sacrificed their alltheir comfortable farms and every thing they had accumulated for a principle

,that of loyalty to the British

86 U NITED EMPIRE L OYA L S I TS .

Crown . There are other colonies in the British Empirewhose first settlers w ere convicts

,viz .

,Botany Bay and

Van D ieman’

s Land ; but such was not the case w ith our

country. I t was settled by m en of high principle— bym en of education . There are m en

,little removed from

the b east that perishes— who have no principle , who aresatisfied to live under any government so long as theirbodily w ants are satisfied . Such w ere not the earlysettlers of Upper Canada— such w ere not the m en who

settled in the Niagara district— the Butlers,the Balls

,

the Swayzes,the S crOOpes , the W hitmores , the W oodruffs ,

the Stal ls,the L ampman s

,the Rykerts , the Merritts , the

D ureetes,the Gregories

,the N elleses , the Pettits , the

Lundys , the Kerbys , the W arrens , the Macklem s,the Ryk

mans,the Ryersons , and the thousands of U. E . Loyalists .

He felt that many now enjoying the glorious privilegeso f British subj ects in Ontario

,did not realize what they

ow e to these m en and w omen,who landed on these

shores a hundred years ago . Many Of them here hadheard but little of what the first settlers had sacrificedout of principle

,what they had endured in coming here ,

to prepare the Province for their occupation ,and there

fore they do not appreciate this noble band of men asthey des erve . Many of the settlers

,who had fought

valiantly in the revolutionary war as young men ,fought

again as men w ell advanced in years under GeneralsBrook and Rial] and under Colonels Harvey and Bishopp

,

and other noble soldiers,who led them to victory

,when

this peaceful Province was invaded in 1812 by a body of

men who thought that they had only to Show themselveson ou r Shores to pluck this glorious Colony from theBritish Crown . But they w ere m istaken— they foundthat those who had endured hardships in the revolutionary war

,w ere ready to endure the sam e in defence of

their w ives and children and their new homes in the w ilderness . A fter doing their best to conquer Canada

,the

invaders w ere glad,in 1815

,to sue for an inglorious

peace,w ithout having secured an acre of our soil The

Bishop said,that he was thankful to have been spared

by a gracious God to have seen that day. He was anOld man— had thankfully w atched the grow th of thiscountry for nearly seventy years . He said that he w as

an old man,

"but Canadians Often lived to be very old

his 97th year on the 13th January las t . He was,at last

accounts,in the enj oymen t of good bodily health,

a fullGeneral of the Royal A rtillery ,

and the Oldest officer inthe British army

,and

,like the speaker

,he w as a native

Canadian . In conclu sion,the Bishop remarked

,that

he hoped that his fellow - countrym en , w ith such glorious examples before them

,w ou ld emulate the v irtues

Of their fathers , improve the law s of the land , love Godand honour the Queen .

SENA TOR PLUMB’

S SPEECH.

The chairman then called upon the Hon . J . B . Plumb,

Senator of the Dom inion,who was received w ith applause.

MR. P LUMB said that as a resident of the Town of N iagara and a member of the Reception Comm ittee

,he des ired

to un ite w ith the chairman I n extending a cordial and

hearty w elcome to all who w ere here on this m emorableoccasion . He was deeply gratified to find so large an

assemblage,and to know that a great preportion of those

who composed it w ere descendants of the early settlers ofthe country

,and that they w ere here to do honour to the

memory of their loyal and brave forefathers. The chairman h imself was a representative descendant of a w or thyU . E . Loyalist fam ily

,an inheritor o f the lands gran ted

by the Crown to his ancestors , who cleared them from theprim eva l forest

,lands which are now teem ing w ith the

products of the field,of the orchard

,and of the vin eyard

under the practical and successful cultivation which hasmade the name of their present owner w idely and favorably known as an agriculturist and fru it-grow er.


He (Mr. Plumb) cou ld not claim to be here by v irtue ofsuch a descent . It w as w ell known that his earlier lifehad been passed in the n eighbouring Republic of whichhe was a native

,but his forefathers had held positions of

trust and honour under the Crown prior to the Revolutionboth in civil and m ilitary life

,and when

,upon mature

re flection,he decided to take the oath of allegiance

,he

It may be asked why w e are met here W hy ,after

the lapse Of a century every loyal man’

Thebrave loyalist brought w ith him his honest convictionsand his love of constitu tional liberty ,

,and to their desire to bequeath them un

A n essential difference exists between the political ihstincts of the people of Canada and those who resideacross the borders . Our neighbours have largely extendedthe bounds of constitutioual liberty

,but he (Mr. Plumb)believed that in the end adhesion to the Crown had

secured for this Dom inion a still larger constitutionalfreedom than that of the United States in our parliamen

tary government and direct m inisteria l responsibility,

which involved the immediate appeal to the people,at

any moment when the Ministers of the Crown failed tobe supported by a maj ority of the representatives o f thepeople in the House of Comm ons . Many thoughtfulcitizens of the Republic clearly saw the advantages of oursystem

,but it cou ld not be adopted there w ithout radical

changes,which seem impossible . He hoped that

,by God’s

grace,Canadians might preserve it unchanged

,and that

it would be sacred ly cherished by future generations . Hebelieved that it w as in the best interes ts Of themselves

,

and of the w orld at large that each of the tw o grea t

peoples who inhabited North A merica should be permitted to evolve their own separa te and several methods

w ithout let or hindrance . W hile Canadians did no t

intend to be grasping or m eddlesome or aggress ive , theyw ould never be cringing

,o r serv ile or subm issive . The y

intended to maintain their position here,and to de fend

British institutions on this con tinent in a manly,stra ight

forward manner. They had the courage o f their conv ietions

,and w ould w ork out their salvation in their own

way , ,

and they des ired that their great bro therhood o f

friends on the other S ide of the frontier should take thesam e course

,and enj oy the same privilege .

He did not believe in Canadian independence . It w as

certain to resu lt in annexation,and in neither independ

ence or annexation could he see anyth ing but disaster.

W e desired to cultivate the m ost cordial relations withour neighbours

,to buy of them

,to sell to them

,to inter

marry w ith them— he was an example of that,bu t they

wanted to Show that they proceeded on parallel lines,

which could not m eet and coalesce,how ever closely they

m ight approximate. He scorn ed those who u rged thatthere w ould be certain advantages in dollars and cents tobe gained by a change in our political allegiance . Hebelieved the sentiment of loyalty in Canadian bosom s

could no t be brought down to a money standard . Therewas no sord id taint in the blood of those who s erved theCrown in two great struggles . They have transm ittedthat blood to a large portion of the best men and w omenof this fair Prov in ce . Fealty to the m onarch is deeplyimplanted in Canadian hearts

It was not a principle wh ich was incommensurate w ith

progress and development as its opponents have asserted ,and it seemed to harmonize especia lly w ith colonization ,

as might be seen in the v ast extent through both hemispheres Of a Greater Britain of powerful and prosperouscolonies

,acknowledging a w ill ing and not a compulsory

allegiance to the Throne,adhering to British traditions ,

and governed by British laws . It is less than threehundred years since the first permanent settlement of

white men was made upon this continent. Sir W alterRaleigh

,and his half-brother

,Sir Humphrey Gilbert,

under favour of Queen Elizabeth,fitted out an expedi

tion fo r A merica in 1583 ,which failed disastrously

,and

Gilbert lost his life by shipwreck on the return voyage .

A nother expedition of Raleigh ’s landed at Roanoke,in

Virginia,at the end of A ugust

,1584

,and had friendly

intercourse w ith the natives . The next year a fleet ofseven vessels under command of Raleigh’s kinsman

,the

celebrated S ir Richard Grenville,immortalized in Ten

nyson’

s ballad of “ The Revenge,settled a small body

of colonists at Roanoke . A fter extrem e hardship andsu ffering ,

they w ere taken back to England by Sir FrancisD rake in 1586 . The same year

,fifty settlers w ere landed

by S ir Richard Grenville , and a hundred and fifteen weresent out under Governor W hite in 1587, all of whom hadperished or disappeared when W hite returned w ith supplies and recruits in 1590. A t the death of Queen Elizabeth

,there probably w as not an Englishman on this con

tinen t . The colony of Jamestown w as established threeyears afterwards in 1606 , and the follow ing year Champlain landed on the site of Quebec.

From small beginn ings we date our w innings.

We are celebrating to-day the Centennial A nniversaryof the first settlement Of the U. E . Loyalists in this Pro

,and in 1790 not more than and yet

1791, the British Parliam ent passed the A ct separatingthe Provinces of Upper and Low er Canada

,by v irtu e of

which A ct Governor S imcoe,in the summer of 179 2 , or

dered an election for the firs t Parliament o f this Province ,which met in September of that year. at a point nearthat on which w e are standing

,and almos t w ithin the

sound of the voices of the speakers on this platform . Inthe eloquent address w ith which he Opened the Session ,

he said that in consideration of the sacrifices the Loyalistsof the Province had made for the Crown

,and the evi

dence they had g iven of their capacity for self-government

,the largest measure of liberty ever gran ted by the

British Parliament to a colony had been given to UpperCanada. He said that the confidence reposed in the

colonists had been w el l earned,and that he was sure that

they w ould n ever betray the sacred trust .A mong the first acts of the Upper Canadian Parliament

was the adoption o f the law s of England and the abo litionof Slavery. W e have been told (said Mr. Plumb) that weare lagging behind our Republican neighbours in the raceof development and improvem ent ; but he thought w e

had reason to be proud of our advancement. He had saidthat in 1790 the population of Upper Canada did n o t

exceed by the highes t estim ate It w as probablyfar Short of that number. That of the S tate o f New Yorkwas then I f the grow th o f this Province hadbeen on the sam e ra tio of that of the Empire State , whichhas the greatest sea—port on the continent , w e shouldhave had in 1881 a population of bu t The Stateof N ew York in 1880 had a population of oran increase of fifteen fold . This Province had a population in 1881 of an increase of sixty- four fold .

It was a mis take to suppose that the politica l organiza tion

,under which w e have attained this w onderfu l re ~


sult , could be compared unfavourably w ith any whichexists . W e had a system under which thepeople ,

throughtheir representatives

,could at any mom ent compel the

Ministry to change their course , to dissolve Parliament ,or to resign their Cflices . The purse - strings being heldby a responsible Government , if there was any m ismah

agement,the elected representative of the people cou ld

immediately interfere. A ll the Cabinet Ministers sat inParliament

,and those in the Common s

,after their ap

pointment to Office , must go back to the people for re

elect ion an d confirmation . The Executive w as not a four

years tyranny ,w ith a Cabinet that cou ld not be reached

except by impeachm ent . It was a rule that could bechanged when it could n o longer hold the public confi

dence,as was exemplified by the dissolution in the autumn

o f 1873 o f the Parliament elected in 1872 , it having beenclaimed by the maj ority that the Min istry no longer represented public sentim ent. The public expenditure iscontro lled by the Commons . Every item can be fullyexamined and discussed in Comm ittee of Supply. Theestimates for the expenditure are before the Commons indetail from the beginning of the Session ,

and separatev otes are taken on each item . W e know nothing of alog -rolling

I t was a matter o f pride to him to say that he was an

exemplification of the liberality w ithwhich the Canadianpeople treated those of foreign birth who became subservient to the laws He had been honoured by the peoplefar beyond his deserts in this Old borough o f N iagara,and now he held from the Queen

,and he believed that he w ould

never be found recreant to the trust placed upon him . Itm ight be that there w ere people in Canada who w ere eudeavouring to sow seeds o f dissension betw een the loyalpeople and the throne. He said of such

,that they could

not do it,that while he w as w illing to discu ss most mat

could be entertained,because the hearts of the people

w ere so securely fixed in their allegiance that they didnot want any argument on the subj ect He trusted thatevery man andwoman before him w ould never forget thatit was their bounden duty to transmit w ith religiouscare the noble principles which they inherited from theirparents

LIEUTENANT-COLONEL GEORGE T . DENISON saidThe ai rival of the U . E . Loyalists in this Province one

hundred years ago,was an event which has had a lasting

effect upon the history of this country,and was

,to a

great extent,the cause of our being to-day a portion of

the greatest Empire in the w orld . I need no t say here onthis historic ground

,teem ing w ith recollections of hard

fought fights,or to the descendants of those who pre

served our liberties in 1812,that to the U. E . Loyalists

w e ow e the fact that w e enj oy to-day the true libertythat is to be found under a lim ited monarchy. These

early settlers who cam e here one hundred years agow ere the very best of the old colonists . They w ere thelaw —abiding

,God-fearing classes

,and this was remarkably

shown by the fact that in the early years of this country crime w as almost unkown

,the settlers being an

orderly,peaceable

,w ell-behaved people . They gave a

start to this country,the benefits of which w e are con

tinually feeling year after year. Ever since the prov ince was established

,the fringe of settlement

,as i t

moved S low ly into the forest has been almost free fromcrim e

,this

,strange to say

,has continued to this day

,and

is a remarkable feature of the settlement of the NorthW est .

How different it has been in the Republic to the sou tho f u s— law lessness and crimes of violence have been ram

pant for one hundred years back ,and life is now more

un safe in the United States than in.any civilized or

sem i- civilized country in the w orld. It is not the climate that has don e this

,for in many section s it is very

S imilar to our own . It is not the physical character ofthe country

,for that also is alike . I attribute it entirely

to the form o f government.The Republican form o f government attracts all those

who love license rather than liberty ; while those whodesire to see liberty given only to do what is right

,are

m uch more like ly to seek a monarchical form of government . From this reason

,while the A m erican Republic

has,as one of their own prom inent m en has w el l said

,

been for one hundred years the cess-pool ” of Europe,

and has attracted the w orst classes from the old w orld,



The S trongest national sentiment that has yet been ex

hibited in the States w as shown by the Southern peoplein their gallant S truggle to destroy the Union . Thenational spirit show n by the Northerners where the bounties rose to about $1800 a man

,where patriotism con

sisted in hiring a man to go and fight while the citizentook a contract to supply the soldiers

,as has been w ell

said by their celebrated divine Dr. Talmage , W ith ricethat was w orm eaten

,w ith biscuits that w ere mouldy,

w ith garments that w ere shoddy,w ith m eat that was rank ,

w ith horses that stuinbled in the charge, and w ith tentsthat sifted the rain into the faces of the exhausted.

”

The patriotism Shown by Yankee Militia almost ins ight of this spot

,in 1812

,when they refused to cross at

Queen ston,to aid their comrades

,whom our volunteers

shortly afterwards cut to pieces under their eyes, was

very different from the patriotism Of the Canadians whocrossed the river and captured Detroit, or those whofought at Chrys ler

’

s farm,or those who drove back Hamp

ton at Chateauguay.

I n 1812 every ablebodied man w ent to the frontier tofight leaving the Old men

,the boys and the women to till

the fields . One might travel a day’s journev in this Prov ince during that war w ithout meeting an ablebodiedman

,as they w ere all on the frontier. That kind of

national sentiment was very different from that of thebountied mercenaries of the Northern armies , or of thethree m onths’ men

,who left the army of the Potomac in

1861 on the eve of a great battle. Vlfhat a striking contrast also was this latter incident to the calling out of

Canadian Militia at the time of the Fenian troubles of 1866 . Only suffi cient regiments w ere orderedout to make w ith their fu ll strength In lessthan eighteen hours after the order was issued the regim ents w ere all at their posts

,and the returns showed

over on parade . The extra consisted o f volunteers who had served their term and been discharged ,

but who,on the call of danger put on their Old uniforms

,

rallied around the standards,and fell into the ranks

w ithout bounty of any kind,or other obligation save the

national sentiment which is the characteristic of our

people .

In the Oregon difficulty,in the Trent affair the fee l

ing w as admirable . Can we call to mind the conductof the Nova Scotia Legislature at the tim e of the Maineboundary difficulty

,when the m embers standing in their

places,unanimously passed w ith three cheers for the

Queen , a vote placing at the disposal of the Governm en tevery dollai of their revenue

,and every ablebodied man

in their province to be used in defence of their s isterprovince of N ew Brunsw ick that w as threatened w ithattack— can we call to m ind the Canadians who cam e

back to Canada from every state in the Un ion to aid indefending her from the Fenians

,w ithout feeling that w e

have in our people a strong national sentim entCanada has never had to call upon her sons to defend

her,that they have not cheerfully responded to the call

,

and there is no doubt that w e Canadians have a nat ionalsentiment. W e have a pride in our country and a confi

dence in it and in its future . W anderers and Bohem ians,

strangers and tramps may ,becau se w e are not traitors to

our government and our country,say that w e have no

national sentiment ; they may not see , or feel or app i ec1 I tethe patriotic feeling of the Canadians

,but w e Canadians

know that it is there . The m ilitia force I s one proof Of it,

a finger post to point out to all that w e intend to be a freepeople on this continent

,and that our liber ties can only

be taken from us after a deSpeI ate stru og .gle Th is loyalty

o f Canadians to Canada makes them loyal to the Queen ,

becau se she is the embodiment o f the principles of thegovernment of our country ,

not becau se She is the Queenof England

,but becau se she is the Queen of Canada

,and

they are loyal to our monarchical institutions , becau sethey feel that true patriotism to Canada lies in that direction .


W e absolu tely govern ourselves , the tie which binds usto England is one in which all the advantages are onour S ide . There is nothing in it that p resses on any of

our people,and there I S no m atter of detail In em system

that w e have not the pow er of regulating for ourselves .Unfortunately

,how ever

,there are a few who are not sat

isfied,and who agitate for change for the sake o f agitat

ing. This I s,and always has been ,

a difficulty w ith everyform of governmen t i n a ll ages . No fO I In o f governmentcou ld possibly be devised in which there w ould be nomalcontents

,no conspirators

,no agitators . The grandest

poem in our language describes a rebellion against Heavenitself

,and in all countries

,and in all governments

,there

have been agitators of the sam e type . Rome,a republic

with the highest national sentiment , had in it the elementsof discord in the broken down classes

,who rallied around

Cataline and fo rmed the famous con spiracy which bears hisname ; and to -day in most countries the sam e type of agitaters and malcontents abandon useful labour to conspireagainst lawful authority . I n Russia they have the N ihilists

,in Germany the Socialists

,in France the Communis ts,

in Ireland the Fenians,in England the Dynam iters

,in

the United States they have all these classes mixed uptogether , and in addi tion they have their politicians , whilein Canada w e have only a few Independence w riters , thew eakes t and most harm less of a ll these troublesom e classes .These w anderers and Bohem ians

,w ith the charming

impudence of the three tailors of Tooley Street,Speak of

them s elves as the people Of Canada . It is the fashion'

of

men of their type alw ays to talk loudly of the people,as

if they w ere the people. But who are the people Thepeople of this country are the farmers who own the S 0 11

,

who have cleared the fields,who till them

,and who pro

duce the food that feeds us . The people of Canada arethe w orkers who w ork in her factories

,who carry on her

trade,who sail her Ships

,and spread her commerce

,

-theartizans who build her cities and w ork in them . These

,and then wander Off to some other coun

try ,and be as w ell Off as they ever w ere or ever w ill be .

W hy should w e dismember the Empire ? W hen theGerman people have united to make a great State whenthe Italians have been consolidated into a powerful. king

'

dom,are the British to divide and w eaken ? A re the

A nglo -Saxons to be the only race to do this i and are w e

Canadians,w ithout reason or motive

,to be the cause I

don ’t call the United States an A nglo -Saxon communitynow . Once it was

,but since the re vo lution it has been the

dumpingground of Europeand they are forming a commu

nity there entirely differen t in its characteristics from ours .I have watched I e writings of these independence

men,and have at last discovered what their real griev

ance is,and it is that there are certain people who hold

public Offices . They do not Obj ect to there being publicoffices

,bu t the real trouble is that they do not hold

these Offices themselves . Envy and j ealousy is at thebo ttom of all their patriotism . They advocate electiveOffices . They forget that the people indirectly make theIppointments

,for they elect representativ es who hold

office at their w ill,and who are responsible to them for

all they do . They agitate for the election to nearly all

public Offices by the popular vote as in the States,where

the s y s tem has produced an Office-holding class,where

strict integrity is the exception,and where peculation is

the rule . These agitators and Bohem ians w ish to becomethemselves an Office -holding class of this Yankee type .

They think that by agitating for a change,by creating

anarchy and confusion,they m ight temporarily com e to

the top. They know that when the pot is boiling thedregs are forced upwards , bu t they forget that when thepot stops boiling the dregsgo to the bottom . But there isno reason why w e Shou ld be governed by strangers ortramps

,and the people of this country

,who have made

it what it is,intend to govern it their own way.

CENTENN IA L CEL EBRATION. 103

The w orst feature of this agitation is,that a revolution

such as these malcontents ask for , can only be broughtabout by bloodshed . I cannot call to m ind an instance ofa revolution being carried out w ithout bloodshed . I n factno system of government recognizes any constitutionalmethod of destroying its fundam ental principles . The

United States cou ld not establish a despotism under theirconstitu tion except by a revolution . The Sou thernStates seceded

,not constitu tionally but by conventions o f

the people in the same w ay in which their constitutionwas originally formed

,and it was an attempted revolu

tion,and was put down by force of arms . Every attempt

from w ithou t,or w ithin

,in the past to change our system

of governm ent has been put down by bloodshed. I n fact,

the fundam ental principle of our government,the Mon

archy,cannot be changed con stitutionally . The members

of Parliament before they can vote , must swear to befaithful to the constitution ,

and would be foresworn per

jurerS if they afterw ard betrayed their country . Forthis reason I appealed on a former occasion to the goodfeeling and honesty of the independence agitators

,as to

whether it w as fair or right in them to agitate for achange of government , that can only be brought aboutby war. A nd I ask you here again to-day ,

if it is fairor right for these Bohem ians to try to create troubleamong a peaceful

,happy and contented people, who have

no grievances that they cannot easily rem edy themselves

,when they can so readily find in the neigh

houring country the republican institutions they admireW hen I say this I say it in a k indly spirit for I wouldbe the last to prevent them w riting and talking and

advocating their view s so long as they do not break out

into open treason . Thank God this is a free country,

where people can hold what Opinions they like and expressthem freely

,so they may go on if they w ish and w rite

their little editorials,and air their little theories

is what makes our institu tions so stable and these men

cally opposed to those advocated now by these few,and

under which w e have flourished,and increased

,and en

Ladies and Gentlemen . Upon an occasion like this theheart as w ell as the intellect is stirred up w i th deep emo

tions . A ll that is nob le,all that is patriotic in us

,the pride

w e have in the loyal and indom i table men who foundedUpper Can tda

,aff ord a theme that ought to warm the

coldest and make the dullest man eloquent in their praise.

The Uni ted Empire Loyalists of A merica only need thetruth to be told of them

,to make them s tand out promi

nently upon the page Of history as ranking w ith thenoblest of our race in any land .

I am glad and proud of the fact that celebrations sim ilarto this have already been held In Toronto and the Bay of

Quinte,yet w e of the Niagara district did not think

that thos e w ere enough . This spot consecrated by somany honourable memories of the fathers and defendersof our country , is after all the true historical and properplace for the centennial celebration of the settlem ent ofUpper Canada. Here was the principal landing place ofthe expatriated loyalists , here came the loyal fightingmen of the Revolutionary W ar

,and here they planted



mainly through the m achinations and aid of France,

those colonies w ere led into the great rebellion againstthe Empire.They w ere

,if I may u se the A MERICA N language ,

which we all understand very w ell , the party o f Un ion

in 1776 as opposed to the party of S ecession of thattim e . They w ere the men who w ere loyal to the crown ,

and to the poli tical unity of the English Speaking race .

They ow ed a national allegiance as born British subj ectsto the C rown and Empire

,and felt bound by every tie

of duty,honour and religion

,to resist rebellion

,and

pr eserve intact the unity of the Empire to which theybelonged . The crime of dividing the English race wasnone Of theirs lThe great civil w ar which broke out in the United

States tw enty- three years ago,has to the Am erican m ind

greatly modified the m eaning of the w ord— loyalty.

Instead of being used in a bad and vituperative sense asit had been prior to their ow n late rebellion

,loyalty has

since then been discovered to be one of the cardinal virtues

,while rebell ion that w as previously looked upon as

an honourable thing in itself,has come to be denounced

as the blackest of crimes I especially against them selves.I w ill read an extract from the letter of a distinguished

Am erican General w ith reference to this loyal celebration of ours . He says

“ I w ish I could be there to unite w ith you in sym

pathy and feeling,as I do here . Success to the loyal

blood I May its m emories be ever green ,and

'

the recollection of its unparalleled and unrewarded devotion

,bravery

and sacrifice endure and w ax stronger w ith time I W e

loyalists lost the gam e,but w e did not in the slightest de

gree tarnish our record of honour.”

I may m en tion that the general who w rites this,is

himself a descendant of a distingu ished Loyalist familyof the old Province of N ew York

,

The declaration of Independence , which passed by amaj ority of one only

,came like a thunder clap upon the

CENTENNI A L CEL EBRATION, 107

people of the colon ies . Up to that day,the most une

quiv ocal public expression s of loyalty to the King and

Empire had been made,and reiterated by the general

Congi ess as by all the provincial congresses in the colonies

b

l\'

ay ,long after fighting began nothing but a re

d1ess of grievances was professed to be demanded . Thea1my which besieged Boston ,

unde i W ashington,and that

which inv aded Canada, under A rnold andtD

Montgom ery ,

fought under British colours. It w as known that outsideof B ew England a maj ority of the people w ere opposed tosecession

,and that it w as necessary to lead them by de

grees,and blindfold , as it w ere , into the pit of revolution

- and so it w as done .

It is unn ecessary for me to discuss,in your presence

,

the political issu es of the revolution . W e are all of one

m ind on that subj ect. W e know that the loyalists w ereright in the course they pursued, and that for us isenough .

The 1evolution was not necessary for the redress of

such the0 1etical grievances as form ed the sub ject of diffe1ences w ith the mother country. The Stamp A ct

,the

gi eatest offence of all,w as never pu t in fo1ce , and was

promptly 1epealed i n compliance w ith the general 1em onstrance against it. The other m inor A cts— of no account l nthemselves

,m ight likew ise have been left to be repealed

,

and the old harmony restored , had not pride and temperon both sides

,taken the place o f reason and m oderation

and rendered a good understanding impossible .

The loyalists of A m erica felt all this,and refused to be

hurried into the crim e of rebellion ; and when the Decla1ation of Independence was laun ched upon the coun t1y—they denied the truth of the indictm ents it con tainedagainst the King and the people of Great Britain— whilethe very offensiv e language in which it was couched

,

added fuel to their resentm ent, and perpetuates the bitterness of it to this day.

108 U NITED EMP IRE L OYA L ISTS .

Their opposition to the revolu tion was met by the en

actm ent of the most vindictive penal laws against m en ,

whose only offence w as a determ ination to keep their allegiance , and abide by the flag under which they wereborn . The persons of the loyalists w ere seized and im

prisoned— their property— and in property they were thew ealthiest men in the community— w as everywhere confiscated— persecu tions begat fierce retaliations . Swordsw ere drawn

,and the civil w ar beganwhich devastated

A m erica for eight years— and on ly ended when thepow ers of France , Spain and Holland intervened , and bytheir help the thirteen colonies w ere sev ered from theEmpire .

A n able and candid Am erican author has w ritten :

The loyalists had position and property,the Indian s had

fertile lands both w ere coveted,and both w ere wrenched

from their rightful possessors .”

The atrocious penal law s,the proscriptions

,the confis

cations,and the personal outrages to which aged and re

spectable loyalists w ere subj ected ,even in the presence

and w ith the sanction o f some of the highest heads of therebellion

,has left a deep stain upon the course that was

pursued” in establish ing the revolution . They added bitterness and animosity to the struggle

,for they called forth

keen reprisals,and sent into the royal ranks upw ards of

native A mericans and it is a fact that,the contin

ental army,which w as largely made up of the foreign

element and n eedy emigrants,had few er Am ericans in it

than the Royal army . But I need not recount the eventsof the w ar .

It is estimated that at the close of the war,a hundred

thousand loyalist A m ericans left the Port of New Yorkalone . The w orld had not seen such a flight of the bestelements of the population of any country

,since the exile

of the Huguenots from France over a century before .

The fugitive loyalists who left their native country w eredispersed all over the Empire— many w ent to Great Bri



and w ealthiest class in the old colonies . But all classesw ere present among them

,judges

,lawyers

,legislators ,

clergymen,soldiers

,merchants , yeomen and handicraft

men ~ — all filled the ranks o f that great em igration . Christian m en of all the churches w ere there , but not oneinfidel of the type of that arch traitor Tom Paine"Hebelonged emphatically to the Rebellion"The Loyalistscam e wi th their Penates and household gods

,their bibles ,

the sacred communion vessels of their altars,the tables

of the ten commandments from the chancels of theirchurches

,these sacred obj ects they brought w ith them

out of their abandoned temples .

It seemed as if the voice of Christ was heard by them ,

as he spake to his disciples upon that last day at Jerusalem

,A rise let us go hence A nd these ten command

m ents they set up anew in the rude churches which theybuilt to the w orship of God in Canada .

The whole congregation of Trinity Church,N ew York

,

w ith their venerable Rector at their head,tran sported

them selves to S t. John,N ew Brunsw ick

,

-and there set upthe old Tables of the Commandments

,and the royal arms

that had previou sly adorn ed their native church in theCity of N ew York . Upon the table beside me

,stands one

of the grand silver communion flagons and plates givenby Queen A nn e to the Mohawk Christians in 1711. Theyw ere brought here during the revolution

,and are still

used by the loyal Mohawks of the Bay of Qu inté,of

whom Chief Hill,a great grandson of the renowned

Captain Joseph Brant,sits here in your presence to—day ,

the last hereditary chief of that great tribe .

There is an imm ense sign ificance in the fact,Mr. Chair

man,and it is w orthy of our deep study

,that the

U . E . Loyalists , leaving all other possessions behindthem

,brought w ith them the ten commandm ents

,the

Bible,and the sacred vessels of the communion

,as the

most preciou s relics of their old homes in the thirteencolonies . W hat was left to fill the blank of that great


ligious and loyal exodus Am erican history is now dailyrecording

,and it is a point I need not dwell upon ; but

discerning men can see the blank places left by the removalOf those sacred emblems from that country .

Here cam e the great body of the adherents of the

Church of England,mainly under the lead of that good

man,the Rev . Dr. John Stewart

,who founded the first

Episcopal churches in Upper Canada .

Here cam e also the pious and zealous John A shbury,

and that godly w oman,Barbara Heck

,who

,after found

ing Methodism in the City of N ew York,led a band of

loyal Methodists to the Bay of Qu inté,and there laid the

foundation of the Methodist church in Canada. The Old ”

W esleyans,like then founder

,John W esley

,were ev er

loyal to king and country,and

,perhaps

,becau se they

w ere Methodists , w ere also U . E . Loyalists,when the day ”

,

of trial came that proved the spirit of men to the u ttermost

,whether they w ere faithful , or whether they were

untrue, to the sacred precept of Scripture Fear Godand honour the king.

Here cam e also a numerous and a gallant band of loyalRoman Catholics

,led by their priests

,the MacD onalds

,

from North Carolina and other Southern States,Scot

tish Highlanders,for the most part , who settled our dis

trict of Glengarry,and formed the nucleu s Of that E igh

land community,so distinguished for its loyalty and

valour in the subsequent history of Upper Canada .

Here,too

,som ewhat later

,cam e a great number of the

peaceful Quakers and Menonists,of Pennsylvania . The

fidelity of the Quakers to their law ful government,drew

upon them a cruel persecu tion from the rebels,who

stained their record by trying for high treason,and hang

ing two of the most respectable Quaker gentlemen of

Philadelphia,guilty of no offence in the world but loyal

adherence to their king and country. This persecutiondrove som e of the Quakers into the army

,and the Quaker

ancestors of a gentleman present on this platform,w ere


among the hardest fighters in our army during the revolutionary war.

The Quakers bore w ith characteristic patience the persecution of their enem ies , but they flocked into Canadaafter the peace

,to enj oy the protection of English law

,and

live in allegiance to their native sovereign .

A nd here,too

,cam e

,as I am forcibly rem inded by the

presence before me of the thirty chiefs of the renownedSix Nations

,the successors of a people once the mightiest

on this continent . Very different from the Quakersin all respects except in their invincible loyalty

,w ere

the native w arlike tribes of Central N ew York,which

had been their home and heritage from the earliest tim es .The Six Nations w ere largely Christianized and civilized at the outbreak of the revolution . Their villages

,

castles,cornfields , orchards and pastures abounding in

cattle, form ed a long lin e of settlement from the Hudsonto the Genessee .

Congress,which so loudly in public denounced the in

terference of the Indians in the war,had at the Very in

ception of hostilities,sent special commissioners to engage

them on their side against the king. A great w ar belt,

w ith a red axe w orked in the m iddle of it, w as presentedby the commissioners to the Six Nations who rej ectedit w ith contempt , and instead took up arm s to supportthe king

,and under their great chiefs Brant

,and John

D eseronto,whose descendants are here present to -day

,and

the distingished Seneca Chief S akoyenwaraton,

“ Vanishing Smoke ,

”

my friend, Chief Hill , tells me it means,

fought bravely throughout the war in maintenance Of theOld treaties , solemnly made w ith the king.

Their grand and beautiful country was destroyed andconfiscated . The Six Nations w ere the first who took upthe path of exile and settled in Upper Canada— wherethey form to -day a thriving

,loyal

,and happy people

,

proud of the gallant deeds Of their fore-fathers,and proud

of their loyalty and attachment to the Empire . The


114 U NITED EMPIRE L OYA L ISTS .

w isdom and generosity . In less than seven years aftertheir arrival in this country they established , w ith theaid and under the direction of that great statesman and

soldier,Governor Sim coe

,a Constitution and Goverment

for Upper Canada which,they w ere proud to say

,was the

very image and transcript Of that of Great Britain ,and

w as the model of our Dominion Constitution of to -day.

The first Parliament Of this Provin ce met in September ,1792 , on the spot n ow covered by the ru ined mounds ofFort George

,w hich w e see before us and there the first

representatives of the people of Upper Canada,few in

number,but w orthy and capable of sharing in the delib

erations of any assembly in the world ; m et, and estab

lished the Old English principles of law,order , and govern

m ent in this country.

Contrast their acts w ith that Of the Constitu tionalCongress of the Un ited States , which had establishedtheir n ew republican system of government in that country

,only four years before

The States which had rebelled in the nam e of Libertyand had declared all men to be free and equal

,did

,in

their new constitu tion ,solemn ly sanction the institution

Of human slavery ,and perpetuate it

,seem ingly

,for ever

W hile the U. E . Loyalists of U pper Canada,in their first

parliam ent,and on this spot, made sacred by that A ct of

eternal j ustice,did w ithou t a dissenting voice

,and w ithout

a claim for compensation,declare slavery to be for ever

abolished in this Provin ce A ll honour to the true freem en and their noble governor Simcoe

,who w on for Can

ada the glory of being the first coun try in the worldwhich abo lished slavery by an A ct Of the Legislatureand they not on ly set free their s laves

,but placed them

on a civil and political equality w ith themselves . W e

are not a boastful people,or we m ight justly boast of

having taken the lead o f all the w orld in that great actof justice to humanity . S O far w as Upper Canada inadvance of all other people at that time

,on this mom en~

tous qu estion.


This fact strikes us more forcibly,when w e recollect

,

that England herself did not abolish slavery in her Colonies until 1838

, while the United States only did sotw enty years ago

,and that at the cost of the most fright

ful and destructive civil war on record ; and Spain ,ano

ther Of the liberators of America,has not freed her slaves

to this dayThese acts prove better than any words

,the noble and

generous character of the men who founded this P I 1Ovince . The maintenance of the Imperial connection ,

of

the “ Unity of the Empire,

” as w e cal l it in our Canadianspeech

,was the moving principle of duty in the hearts of

our forefathers . L et it be so in ours also,now and for

ever.I f ev il days should ever befall us

,and we have no

right to suppose that,as a people

, we shall always be safefrom the storms of fate

,or the malice Of enem ies

,inter

nal or external,and you Indians w ill understand me if I

say,that, bad birds are now singing here and there in

the trees .” I say,if tim es of trouble and adversity shou ld

ever com e upon this fair land,we have the noblest ex

ample in the deeds and principles of our forefathers,how

to meet them . A nd I have perfect faith in you ,brother

Canadians,that you ,

l ike them,w ill be found equal to

every demand upon your honour and loyalty,in a w ord

your duty .

I am proud,Mr. Chairman

,to see so many of the U . E .

Loyalist ladies of our district present, and w earing upontheir breasts the honoured loyal badges of this Centennialcelebration . But

,the time never was— and I believe

n ever will be— when,be our m en loyal and patriotic as

they w ill,the w omen of Ontario w ill not outshine them

in ardent love to their Queen and Country A mongthem are preserved the honourable traditions of our people

,and so long as they teach them to their sons and

daughters,Canada w ill stand in honour for ever, as the

right arm of the British Empire.


I w ill conclude,Mr. Chairman by repeating a few

w ords spoken by me on another occasion :

Al l honour to the Loyalists The brave self sacrificingexertions of these m en in defence of the unity Of theEmpire

,brought ruin upon themselves in their Old hom es ,

but was the making of Canada by settling it w ith m en

of such chosen v irtu e . I f,as a Puritan divine once

boasted,

“ England was w innow ed Of her choice grain forthe sow ing of Am erica .

”

W e can truly say that“A m erica

was reaped and w innow ed afresh at the Revolution ,and

its very choicest m en selected by Providence for the peopling of this Dominion"By the loss of these Loyaliststhe Un ited States w ere drained of their noblest elements ,and suff ered a m oral loss

,which they have never made

up for to this day.

S ome of the best and wisest men in the United Stateshave brushed aside the covering of prejudice and obloquycast over the m emories o f the U . E . Loyalists in popu larA m erican history

,and boldly express their adm iration for

the courage and devotion to high principles which actuatedthem . Truth w ill have its revenge in justice at last"A nd I ven ture to say that in another century A merica w illbe more proud of her exiled Loyalists than of the vauntedpatriots who banished and despoiled them"TH IEF HIL L of the Mohawks , Bay of Quinté

A nd,although the time may forever have gone by ,

whenthe tomahawks of the Six Nation s w ere needed to assistin maintaining the honour and dignity of the BritishCrown in this Dom inion

,yet y ou can not but adm it that

their assistance and co -Operation is still desirable,though

in ano ther direction,namely

,in doing what they can to

aid the loyal and peaceable citizens Of this fair Dominionin developing it into a great and prosperous country

,and

of which I am proud as chief,and one of the many repre

sentativ es of my people among you to -day,to be able to

say they are w illing and are endeavouring so to do . A nd

that our relations w ith the governm ent of the countryhave alw ays been attended w ith the happiest resu lts and

that the government Of Canada has in general kept faithw ith us

,and

,therefore

,w e have very few reasons to com

plain in that respect.But there is one thing that I must not Om it to mention

,

it is a sad circumstance which has not only grieved m e,

but one and all Of the many of my people , who are among

sons of the U . E . Loyalists,w e w ere not on ly grieved

,

but w e blushed for the descendants of the U. E,Loyal

,I desire to say that I am glad that the
