There is no right or function which we exercise as free citizens in which we do not desire you to participate, and with this civil freedom we equally gladly offer you absolute religious liberty. The forms of worship which you have brought with you, you will be able to practice in the most unrestricted manner, and we confidently trust that those blessings which have waited upon your virtuous exertions in your Russian homes will continue to attend you here; for we hear that you are a sober-minded and God-fearing community, and as such you are doubly welcome amongst us. In the name then of Canada and her people, in the name of Queen Victoria and her Empire, I again stretch out to you the hand of brotherhood and good fellowship, for you are as welcome to our affection as you are to our lands, our liberties and our freedom. Beneath the flag whose folds now wave above us, you will find protection, peace, civil and religious liberty, constitutional freedom and equal laws."-Speech of His Excellency Earl Dufferin to Immigrants of Foreign Nationality settled in Manitoba, August, 1877.

"There is no reason ultimately to doubt that the population attracted to you (the people of British Columbia) as soon as you have a line through the mountains, will be the population which we most desire to have—a people like that of the old Imperial Islands-drawn from the strongest races of Northern Europe, one that with English, American, Irish, German, French and Scandinavian blood shall be a worthy son of the old mother of nations." -Speech of His Excellency the Marquis of Lorne, at Victoria, B. C., 1882.
