He was an old servant of my father's all through his campaigns." "He says that Arnold has crossed the line?" "Yes, Your Excellency." "And that he is actually marching on Quebec?"

At the spring elections of 1818, the Constitution and Reform Ticket carried the day, seating the reflected governor and lieutenant-governor, eight anti-Federal senators, and preserving the anti-Federal majority in the House. The governor's inaugural address specified the main task before the Assembly in the following words:
