A Symptom.—Some of the liberals in Canada are waxing bold, and openly breaking out in favor of a separation from the mother country. The following paragraph is quoted from Mackenzie's paper, the Constitution, published at Toronto:
Whether we are the party of the few or the many, this great truth should be our rallying point, Upper and Lower Canada to be great and happy must be independent, and we should use every lawful means, by petition and address, to attain that noble end. We are an infant nation—allow us to be free—permit us to part in peace—and send the mean men who are placed over us, back to the humble station from whence they were unhappily brought to our shores to disgrace our country and theirs.
