Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constitution of the St. Patrick's Society of Quebec, 1836 The advantages of a Society such as that of which the fol lowing pages detail the Constitution, are fitted to commend it to the approbation Of every 10ver of his country and Of his countrymen. Its principal object is to Suppl y the necessities Of Scottish emigrants or settlers, in and about Quebec, whose circumstances call for assistance. Cases are incessantly occur ring in which an appeal is made to the sympathy and liberality Of the community, by those whom Sickness or some other visita tion of Providence has reduced to destitution. It must be soothing to a Scotchman in such circumstances, if he has re tained any degree of the feeling Of independence for which Scotchmen have been represented as remarkable, to find, in a land far from the home Of his fathers, an Association Of his countrymen, whose benevolent design IS to afford relief without lessening that feeling, to furnish information and to administer council, which, on the one hand, may lead to the means Of gaining an honest livelihood, and, on the other, warn him Of the dangers to which, from his peculiar circumstances, he may be exposed.
