I “I had long seen the country in the hands of a few
shrewd, crafty, covetous men. ..A sordid band

of land-jobbers grasped the soil as their
patrimony, and with a few leading officials, who
dinded the public revenue among themselves,
Sormed the Family Compact, and were the
avowed enemues of common schools, of civil and
religious liberty, of all legislative and other checks
to their own will. Other men had opposed, and
been converted by them. At nine and twenty I
might have united with them, but chose rather to
Join the oppressed, nor have I ever regretted that
choice, or wavered from the object of my early
pursuit.”

Anstocracy is a stranger to us. With it we hold not, have not,
any principles in common . . . Nearly our whole population is
dependent for a subsistence on manual and mental labour. . .
We despise the idler who vegetates on the earth a mere consumer
of what better men produce.
— Patriote Central Committee, Montreal, 1837
(To the Workingmen’s Association of London)

“Those men with whom my husband acted were moved by
the impulse of noble and generous sympathies. They panted
not for office, for those they enjoyed — they thirsted not for
blood, for Canadians were their brothers — they were
determined to drive a Nero from ius throne, to nd Canada
of a tyrant and to effect a cwil revolution that would give
hapfnness and prosperity to the country.”

—Elhzabeth Lount, 1838
