action. Al effects are dependant upon
some cause—this is an infallible principle
iu philosophy. Therefore, inlutan;pgfi'
to treat an evil of any kind, it is first im
portant to ascertain the cause—it matters
not as to what category the evils ‘may
belong—moral, political or physical—
the same principle must be adopted, in
an attempt at remedy. No skilful or pru
of the cause or symptoms of a dis
case, would attempt to administer medi
chye to a patient. Then, in attempting
to apply remedies for our political
grievances, it is necessary to consider the
cause, Now what has placed the M*ck
man in this country—eonsigning him (o
the luost wretched condition that hu “
ity can be subjected—for two omn; ies.
or more past? It is avarice. This has
been, snd is the great ‘genérutor of all
@ [ the mioral wrongs we have suffered by
[ the policy pursued towards us.
It was the spirit of avarice that insti

Avarice has wiclded the policy that
has inflicted such flagrant wromgs upon
us by legislative action, in which, the
highost moral priuciple, justice, has also
been violated—in which we suffer what
we term political wrong; though :t:-l
wrong properly speaking—moral wrong
inflicted by the adoption of humau policy.
If our miserics then have been founded in
avariciows indulgence, whichis a violatio
of @ high christinn m-mmm if
those miseries have been ated by
oppressive. laws w us, high
unjust, then our case involyes the grea
questions of religion and qtnlit ;a8

no one who attempts, to engage in the
work of alleviating our grievances think
are.not involved, iand the minister or
churech that throws off the responsibility
of grappling with huian oppry in
