Extract of a letter to the editor, dated:

Niagara, (N. Y.) July 28, 1807.

"I am in common with yourself a friend to the United States and its government, and as great an enemy of British turpitude, injustice and insolence. Our neighbours of Upper Canada, are not thought as well of with you as they ought to be—and as for the newspapers of Upper Canada, infer nothing from what you see in them. There is one printed at York Upper Canada, which is remarkable for nothing else than a servile adulation of the present executive of that province---in one of its late numbers it had the following false and execrable paragraph.

"The diabolical machinations of a desperate Cabal have split the United States, that late flourishing and happy country, "into such factions, that an invading enemy would be but faintly and partially re- "sisted."

"Such sentiments are no doubt collected from the language of some emissaries in our towns---but they may be well assured, that however divided the citizens (I speak of the frontier) of the U. States may be on local politics, to a man they will be united in repelling and chastising foreign invasion or foreign insolence; let them look to it, for they know not how soon the hour may come. This frontier has long been sensible, that in the British government it has no friend ---and the sparks of indignation and resentment are prevented, from bursting into a blaze, that would destroy the British power and influence in the Canadian provinces, solely by a firm reliance upon the magnanimity and justice of the administration of the U. States; on whom, and on the spirit of their Atlantic brethren, they rely for redress for the recent outrage, assassination, and murder committed on board the Chesapeake."---Aurora.
