We observe that both our friends and our foes have given themselves some trouble about alleged dissentions in this province. Those who know nothing of Canada but by the productions of the press may well imagine that there is some foundation for the assertion.
-Many of our publick writers seem to have had their minds vitiated by reading American newspapers. We do not mean to allude to their politicks, but to their manners. Others may be said to have been "ill favoured" by nature, Bod ore unfortunate in their education.
We can, however assure our friends that they have no occasion to be uneasy with regard to the people of this province. If the enemy think he can reap any advantage from our "dissentions" he had better come and try.
