We now proceed with our memoranda of the early press. When Fothergill was deprived of his office of King's Printer in 1825, he published for a time a quarto paper of his own, entitled the _Palladium_, composed of scientific, literary and general matter. Mr. Robert Stanton, King's Printer after Fothergill, issued on his own account for a few years, a newspaper called _The U. E. Loyalist_, the name, as we have seen, borne by the portion of the _Gazette_ devoted to general intelligence while Mr. Stanton was King's Printer. The _U. E. Loyalist_ was a quarto sheet, well printed, with an engraved ornamental heading resembling that which surmounted the New York _Albion_. The _Loyalist_ was conservative, as also was a local contemporary after 1831, the _Courier_, edited and printed by Mr. George Gurnett, subsequently Clerk of the Peace, and Police Magistrate for the City of Toronto. The _Christian Guardian_, a local religious paper which still survives, began in 1828. The _Patriot_ appeared at York in 1833: it had previously been issued at Kingston; its whole title was "_The Patriot and Farmer's Monitor_," with the motto, "Common Sense," below. It was of the folio form, and its Editor, Mr. Thos. Dalton, was a writer of much force, liveliness and originality. The _Loyalist_, _Courier_ and _Patriot_ were antagonists politically of the _Advocate_ while the latter flourished; but all three laboured under the disadvantage of fighting on the side whose star was everywhere on the decline. Notwithstanding its conservatism, however, it was in the _Courier_ that the memorable revolutionary sentiments appeared, so frequently quoted afterwards in the _Advocate_ publications: "the minds of the well-affected begin to be unhinged; they already begin to cast about in their mind's eye for some new state of political existence, which shall effectually put the colony without the pale of British connection;" words written under the irritation occasioned by the dismissal of the Attorney and Solicitor-General for Upper Canada in 1833. For a short time prior to 1837, McKenzie's paper assumed the name of _The Constitution_. A faithful portrait of McKenzie will be seen at the beginning of the first volume of his "Life and Times," by Mr. Charles Lindsey, a work which will be carefully and profitably studied by future investigators in the field of Upper Canadian history. Excellent portraits of Mr. Gurnett and of Mr. Dalton are likewise extant in Toronto.
