SIMMONDS’S  

COLONIAL MAGAZINE.  

EMIGRATION AND COLONISATION CONSIDERED.  

BY THE HON.  

R. B. SULLIVAN  

MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF CANADA.  

The natural desire of every individual is to make his condition better  

than it is, be it what it may. Nations composed of individuals, have  

the same motive principle, and however the advancement of one class  

may involve misery and privation to others, still improvement of the  

public status is the avowed object of every ruler, and of every pretended  

or true patriot. The acquisition of wealth is the most obvious, though  

not always the truest mode by which this end can be accomplished; and  

though wealth, strictly speaking, is only means of acquiring health,  

comfort, luxury, refinement and power, we find these each in turn  

absolutely sacrificed for the purpose of what is called gain. In our  

time, and with our race especially, the logic of the ledger surpasses all  

philosophy, and he who would not be received as visionary or  

hypocrite, must speak of the wealth and welfare of nations, and of  

individuals, as synonymous terms.  

Unbeliever, as am, in the proposition that millions of pounds gained  

to the community by the degradation and misery of millions of human  

beings is public good, am not disposed to quarrel with humanity as  

find it. lam willing to admit that the amount of rent of land is of  

more national importance than the food of the people, and the finding  

market for the merchant more to be thought of than the physical or  

moral condition of the thousands who are his customers. If invite  

attention to any motives of philanthropy, humanity, or morality, it is  

because these may be indulged in as cheap luxuries, and because they  

may be made subservient to the great end of saving and acquiring  

money and if use any suggestions merely founded on the promotion  

of human happiness, in the abstract, and separating the idea from the  

possession of money, the separation shall only be momentary. look  

not for the assent of any who would be the losers in pocket by the  

adoption of my plans; and have but faint hopes of the aid of any  

VOL. XI. NO. 43. JULY, 1847.
