After the conclusion of the war, Mackenzie was stationed on the western frontier, where he performed efiicient service against the hostile Indian tribes.

Leader of the rebellion of 1837-38 in Upper Canada. He was born at Dundee, Scotland, but in 1820 emigrated to Canada and settled first at Y'ork (Toronto) and later at Queenstown, where he opened a bookstore, and in 1824 began the publication of a newspaper entitled the Colonial Advocate, in which he fiercely assailed the Gov- ernment. He soon afterwards removed to Y"ork, the capital of L'pper Canada, where he made him- self a political factor. In 1828 he was elected to the Legislature. In 1830 he was reelected, but the Assembly refused to receive him on account of an alleged libel on the Ministry. He was then thrice reelected and each time expelled. The Gov- ernment then, to prevent a recurrence of the trouble, refused to issue writs for another elec- tion. In 1829 he visited the United States, and in 1832 he was sent to England as the delegate of his party to secure the redress of certain abuses and the removal of certain officials — a mission which he successfully accomplished. After his re- turn he was, in 1834, chosen the first Mayor of the city of Toronto, formerly the town of York, and in the following October was again elected to the Assembly, where, his party being now in the majority, he was regularly seated. Two months later, December 9, 1834. he founded the Canadian Alliance Society, through the instrumentality of which he hoped to effect his reforms. Meantime he acted as chairman of a committee of griev- ances appointed by the Assembly, and this com- mittee submitted a report complaining among various things of the extent of the patronage of the Crown and of the small share which the Leg- islature had in disposing of the revenues. One of the results of this report was the recall of the Governor, Sir John Colborne. ileanwhile a large element of the French inhabitants of Lower Canada were organizing in opposition to the British regime, and in 183.5 Mackenzie was sent by his party to visit their leader. Louis J. Papi- neau (q.v.). In 1836 Mackenzie failed of re- election to the A.ssembly, and from this time events moved rapidly in the direction of rebellion. The Colonial Advocate had not appeared since 1834. but in 1837 Mackenzie started a new paper, the Constitution, in which he advocated violent measures, applauded the people of Lower Canada, who were on the brink of open insurrection, and on August 2d published the Declaration of the lieformers of Toronto to Their Fellow Reformers iH Lower Canada, which has been called the declaration of independence of Upper Canada. On Xovember 2.5, 18.37, Mackenzie proclaimed the establishment of a provisional government. Soon afterwards between seven and eight hundred men gathered under his leadership for the purpose of marching on the capital and setting up an inde- pendent government, but delays gave the Gov- ernor, Sir Francis Bond Head, time to prepare for defense, so that when they finally did advance, (hev were met on the evening of December .5th by
