We have consis tently maintained that an invasion of Canada was a greater danger to the United States than to the United Kingdom, for we hold that the conquest of the Dominion would be the heaviest blow that could be struck against the Union. The deadliest enemy of the Republic could desire nothing more disastrous, and the reasons are so obvious to American states menthat, conquest finds no place in their counsels, although a CHANDLER may at times talk buncombe. It is against the idiosyncrasy of the people, against the institutions of the land, against the sacred rights of liberty and mankind. All, then, "A Colonist" says on this subject we know to be unexaggerated, and we agree with him in thinking that Canada is not half the danger to the British Empire the connec tion is commonly supposed to be. Let the English exodus begin to, be felt both in the United States and in Canada, ana the most effectual check will be given to the ravip of Irish patriots, while the old feeling of FatlniNitiewill be revived, and freer expressievjerywhere 'event° it. But we want a good class of emigrants, not from the prisons I not such as the writer of a letter to the Newgate Ordinary published last Tuesday in the Times, who was assisted to emigrate by the Sheriff's Fund Society, but from the educated and industrial classes.

(From the Anglo American Times) There has been added this week, through the co lumns of the Limes, to the controversy ou England's policy towards' the colonies, a series of letters from " A Colonist," evidently of Canada, with means of information which enable him to give details not generally known in support of his view ; from which we would argue that lie is a member of the Dominion Parliament, and one who appears thou roughly to understand his subject. His letters almost wholly refer to the British North American Possessions, and are chiefly designed to refute the reasons advanced for severing the connection arising from the danger and complications caused by the continuity of the frontier with a great Power like the United States. Although we partake of Mr. FORSTER'S broader views, as given in the preceding article, and,fail to see that Canada is really more English than the United States, or that there should in either case, if well and wisely directed, be this hazardous hostility on which the arguments of " A Colonist" mainly rest, yet we are sensible of the existing state of things, to which, as a practical man, " A Colonist" is justified in confining himself. First, " A Colonist' considers that Canada, backed by the whole power of England, might successfully sustain the burden of an invasion from the United States. " Canada possesses some of the strongest positions known—Halifax, Quebec, St. John, and, if properly covered, Montreal and Kingston, and other places on the Peninsula between Lakes On tario, Erie, and Huron." Each is widely separated from the others, and would require for the reduc tion separate armies and fleets. Though in places the countries are contiguous, there the land is wild, the climate so severe that winter operations are im possible. Where an army might at such a time exist in huts, broad lakes would be behind the invader. If the fortresses could not be taken in one season the sieges would have to be raised and resumed dur ing the next, and the writer sees difficulties so g reat in sustaining the operations from climate, distance, and inaccessibility, that he is confident these never have had their due weight. He goes on to show that on the lakes, Canada would command Ontario, as the U. S. shipping of Erie, Huron, and Superior could be cut off by the destruction of the Welland Canal. The advantages of connection with the sea, of ' harbours, and the dockyard on Ontario, are all with Canada. Finally, he asks what must be the strength of the forces attacking each point? assert ing that the operations against Charleston, New Orleans, Fort Fisher, and Mobile, which occupied so many years, and where the naval supremacy was wholly with the invaders, were as nothing to what would have to be overcome in these northern posi tions. Then he turns to the other si le, and makes the bold statement that the population of Canada comprehends nearly as many fighting men as the Southern States ever brought into the field, while the South had no England at her back, no sea men or win ships worthy. the name, whereas the Dominion has fully 70,000 admirable sailors. While conceding the force of his remarks there are a few points of vital importance overlooked or evaded. The strength of the Northern States, which subju gated the Southern States, lay for the most part well to the North, that is, bordering on Canada. In attacking Charleston, New Orleans, and Mo bile, the main power of the Union had to be di rected a vast distance, through a hostile coun try or along a hostile coast, and the South ern climate in its deadly effects is certainly more prejudicial than the dry, winter cold of a coun try abounding in fuel like Canada. Though " A Colonist" counts every mile from St. John to Hali fax, and from Halifax to Quebec, thence to Kings ton, he takes no account of the far greater distances of New Orleans, Mobile, Vicksburg; but what is much more to the point, he omits to admit that the strength of the enemy, in a degree, faces these for tresses—that is, close to St. John is Maine, with a perfect railway system to the frontier; not far from Montreal are New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York ; Kingston is almost within gunshot of that most populous, and powerful, and most perfect in communication of all the States, New York. Op posite Canada, on the one side of Lake Erie, is the populous city of Buffalo, on the other that of Detroit. Considering the concentration of rail roads to these points, the easy means of supply ing them with all the material required for an army, we fail to see that Canada possesses the advantages claimed in her widely-scattered fortresses. Indeed we hold this to be a weakness instead of a strength, for it would be easier for the United States to use her material for forming and supplying an army around Detroit, around Buffalo, Ogdensburgh, St. Albans, and Portland. By thus acting, all com munication in Canada would be destroyed, and being attacked simultaneously, the defence would become isolated, and comparatively paralysed, while the expense of the drain on the United States would be lessened, for the levies would each be comprised within a separate circle, making them comparatively easy in organisation and less costly in transport. We are alive to the fact, that if Canada hurried together a large army, the Re public would be compelled to concentrate; but what then becomes of the advantages urged by " A Colo nist" in the scattered fortresses ?—for in that case she mustriskall in field fights. Nor does "A Colonist" only omit the telling truth, that the strength of the United States adjoins Canada, instead of as in the South ern war, being widely separated from the enemy it de sired to reach ; but he also omits to notice the fact that the United States was then a divided house, one section of the country warring against another. To compare the efforts of a nation thus acting against the efforts of a nation warring against a foreign enemy involves a broad and palpable miscalcula tion, It is not what the Confederate States sent into the field against the Union, but what the Confederate States and the Union could send into the field against a common enemy, that Canada has to consider ; and these are the two omissions which in a measure vitiate this portion of the argument. " A Colonist" then proceeds to discuss the alterna tive of giving Canada up, and how England would then stand in the event of a war. We think an error is also implied in that argument, which briefly is, that England, having been dispossessed of all harbours on the American continent, would first lose Bermuda, then the West Indies, and through them every chance of acting effectively against the coasting trade of America from Portland round the Horn to Sitka. " A Colonist" deduces too much from his premises, and he shows this even in his own letters. Surely if England cannot act with anyeffect along the interminable coastline of the Ame rican Continent, North and South, it is unfair to as sume that America can act with dangerous effect from Newfoundland against Ireland, whence, he says, a safe base of operations would be formed for the despatch of men and munitions of war. The danger of an invasion of Ireland from America is a bug bear. Europe combined, might succeed, though it is extremely doubtful. England is the strongest for tress on earth ; it is a concentration of entrgy, wealth, and appliances ; it is an arsenal, a mili tary storehouse, a man-of-war, iu its condensed means of repulsion ; and for an enemy to set foot on an island to which England could moor ship to shi j a and form a bridge if she desired it, would require a nation many times stronger than herself, to have any prospect of doing with a chance of success. There must be a vast chan s ge in the relative naval strength and the power of constricting iron ships ere America could send an armament from Newfoundland to Ire land. The fact is that " A Colonist" has attempted to prove too much, and his letters would have greater weight if he had frankly touched on these objec tions. There is much in which we thoroughly agree, for this paper is no advocate for a needless dismemberment of the British. Empire. On the con trary, ours is the broader policy, the federation of the English-speaking people. When " A Colonist" branches off from war to discuss the internal affairs in the practical report of Mr. WELLS, and in the more diffuse Message of Governor HOFFMAN, is the wedge-driving of both towards the splitting up of parties. Mr. WELLS, the Republican, is the lead ing Free-trader, while the Protecti, nists insist on making Protection a Republican doctrine ; Mr. HOFFMAN, the denunciator of repudiation and the eloquent advocate for payments iu gold, is the Democratic leader of the party, whose platform a year ago in the Presidential election was greenback payment. Governor HoFTNIAN's views cannot fail to throw out many Democrats who are Protec , tionists, and who may secretly hold the now con demned policy of repudiation. Mr. WELLS' Re port is, as we before said, a bomb shell in its ex plosive effect on his party. The Tribune pub , . lished but two or three of hii paragraphs, and Con gress talks of suppressing all, while the party pro pose kicking him out, and at any rate of making this paper his last, as the office ceases to exist next June, unless renewed. Yet, this very Mr. WELLS has one of the greatest followings in the United States, the open and hearty support of many lead ing Republican papers, as well as several promi nent politicians of the party, and most of its young men, while the mass of the Democrats agree with him. It is in vain to assert that he has been bought with British gold to suppress facts, and so to construct his figures as to make them tell in favour of a course ruinous to his country, but beneficial to Europe. That little game has been thoroughly played out, and the obvious an swer is—then refute his facts and figures. It is not, however, their value we here discuss, but the similarity of the views on such an important matter as the tariff expressed in his reports and in the De mocratic Governor's message. The truth is, that events have removed many of the broad differences which separated the parties, and with reconstruction completed, and the Fifteenth Amendment ratified, there will be a general straying and divergence, like sheep entering a field from a lane. Other objects must divert and attract, when two well-defined flocks will again be formed. Such messages as those of Governor HOFFMAN are pretty on paper, but as regards reforms in the State of New York, what they mean may be gathered from the fact that Tammany rules. The purification of the New York Judiciary, the Legislature, and the Municipalities ; the punishment of crime and the treatment of criminals ; the extraordinary business transac tions which alone could result in the great gold gamble, and the use of one of the lead ing railroads in the world by a clique to fur nish means for bribery and dissipation—these are points which require the Governor's attention, much more indeed than Federal affairs. Still, as Mr. HOFFMAN is generally regarded as the Demo cratic candidate for the next Presidential election, his views on these national matters may be taken as the doctrines on which the platform will be framed, and therefore their interest extends far beyond the State of New York. Of this we feel assured that his opinions are in accordance with those of a very large section of the public without reference to party ; and if Governor HOFFMAN would honestly and with all his might endeavour to eradicate New York abuses, he would become a formidable oppo nent to the best man the opposition party could secure for the next President of the United States ; but we anticipate that his supporters will then comprise men who were earnest Republicans but the other day, and that this gain will be in some degree lessened by Democratic sheep straying into the enemy's fold.—Anglo-American 7'inzes. In the track of vessels from Australia to China lies an island called Pleasant Island. Previous to 1865 the natives had a bad reputation. A Captain Brown re ported favourably of them in that year, and mentioned that he was told that an Englishman was residing there. In August, 186 S, Captain Hall, of the barque Glenisle, was boarded by the island canoes, and two whale bont3, with two Englishmen, one of whom had been 28 years on the island, and had a son 18 years of age. They bdd him they tried to visit all ships parsing within easy distance, and seemed anxious for it to b i known that they could supply chips with pigs and cocoa-nut oil. By his advice they purposed to cultivate potatoes, and gave him an ad vertisement to put in the colonia l papers. Utifortunately, this document has baffled all attempts to decipher it, front the faulty writing. The island was stated by them to be nine miles across, and twenty-two miles in circumference. —Natut e.
