Itis necessary now for us to take up the business, defend our property, and drive the enemy from it. If we sit still upon or seats, and take no means of redress, the British (ac cording to the customs of you white people) will hold it by conquest-and should you conquer the Canadas, you will claim it upon the same principles, as conquered from the British.
