		Lord Durham realised that "responsible government" was absolutely essential in retaining Canada's loyalty to the Crown.

	Early Canada Historical Narratives -- LORD DURHAM
		Durham was appointed Lord High Commissioner with a commission which placed "a special trust and confidence in his courage, prudence and loyalty." Durham possessed these attributes in full measure, but his health and his humour were bad and both were to play a part in his early return.
		Durham knew he was being sent abroad to get him out of the country, but he had been given a free hand and it was to be a short term assignment.
		Durham was relieved that the guilty parties had been given justice, the misguided had received mercy, and society had been accorded security, all without shedding a drop of blood.

		And even if Durham naturally had an unqualified attachment to his aristocratic heritage, it did not prevent him from celebrating in his own way the rise of the middle class or establishing relations with both his own and other local workers that were quite unusual among the well-to-do.
		His split with Lord Brougham was an important public event, but his permanent retirement from the cabinet in 1833 as a result of repeated disagreements with Lord Grey on matters relating to reform clearly marked the beginning of his isolation.
		To be lenient while cognizant of the seriousness of the acts committed, Durham felt obliged to resort to a strategy which would only succeed if his agents could bring the principal prisoners around to admitting their guilt.

		I used indeed then to think that Lord Durham had too strong a feeling against the French Canadians on account of their recent insurrection.
		I looked on that insurrection as having been provoked by the long injustice, and invited by the deplorable imbecility of our colonial policy; and I thought that our real sympathies ought to be with a people whose ultimate purposes were aright, though by the misconduct of others they had been drawn into rebellion.
		There was, however, one necessary consequence of great hurry in which Lord Durham was compelled to take his departure when once determined on, that I much regretted.
