The native-born Canadian regarded with a jealous feeling men of
talent and respectability who emigrated from the mother country, as
most offices of consequence and emolument were given to such
persons. The Canadian, naturally enough, considered such preference
unjust, and an infringement upon his rights as a native of the
colony, and that he had a greater claim, on that account, upon the
government, than men who were perfect strangers. This, owing to his
limited education, was not always the case; but the preference
shown to the British emigrant proved an active source of ill-will
and discontent.
