Canadians! - As Long As You Remain True To Yourselves And Her, What
Foreign Invader Could Ever Dare To Plant A Hostile Flag Upon That
Rock-Defended Height, Or Set His Foot Upon A Fortress Rendered
Impregnable By The Hand Of Nature?
United in friendship, loyalty,
and love, what wonders may you not achieve?
To what an enormous
altitude of wealth and importance may you not arrive? Look at the
St. Lawrence, that king of streams, that great artery flowing from
the heart of the world, through the length and breadth of the land,
carrying wealth and fertility in its course, and transporting from
town to town along its beautiful shores the riches and produce of
a thousand distant climes. What elements of future greatness and
prosperity encircle you on every side! Never yield up these solid
advantages to become an humble dependent on the great
republic - wait patiently, loyally, lovingly, upon the illustrious
parent from whom you sprang, and by whom you have been fostered
into life and political importance; in the fulness of time she will
proclaim your childhood past, and bid you stand up in your own
strength, a free Canadian people!
British mothers of Canadian sons! - learn to feel for their country
the same enthusiasm which fills your hearts when thinking of the
glory of your own. Teach them to love Canada - to look upon her as
the first, the happiest, the most independent country in the world!
Exhort them to be worthy of her - to have faith in her present
prosperity, in her future greatness, and to devote all their
talents, when they themselves are men, to accomplish this noble
object.
