[The Attache by Thomas Chandler Haliburton]@TWC D-Link bookThe Attache CHAPTER VI 5/16
I do not want to see colonists and Englishmen arrayed against each other, as different races, but united as one people, having the same rights and privileges, each bearing a share of the public burdens, and all having a voice in the general government. "The love of distinction is natural to man.
Three millions of people cannot be shut up in a colony.
They will either turn on each other, or unite against their keepers.
The road that leads to retirement in the provinces, should be open to those whom the hope of distinction invites to return and contend for the honours of the empire.
At present, the egress is practically closed." "If you was to talk for ever, Minister," said Mr.Slick, "you couldn't say more than the Prince de Joinville's hoss on that subject." The interruption was very annoying; for no man I ever met, so thoroughly understands the subject of colonial government as Mr.Hopewell.
