Canadian sympathy for the rebellion, showing that
Canada, instead of being wiser and understanding
the position better, as might have been expected
from her proximity, was more wrong even than Eng-
land during that period. " Had Great Britain,"
says Mr. DILKE, "left them to their own devices,
we should have had war with America in the spring of
1866." Now, at what does Canada aim in this senseless
course? We may point to two instances as show-
ing, in an extraordinary degree, the perversity of
human nature. Here are the majority of Irish in
an island alongside of England panting to be an-
nexed to the States, an arrangement nature bas

prohibited, and ruinous to Ireland, Hulot destruc-
tive to the British empire. There is Canada
bordering for 2,000 miles along the frontier of the
States, engaged in a vain effort to erect itsAf into
an independent nation, propped up by England,
while every motive of economy, prosperity, secu-
rity, and grandeur should induce the C Anadians to
enter the Union as States. Surely it would be wig)
in both, the one heartily to amalgamate with Grcat
Britain, the other to enter the Union. Is the unity
of the American Continent, the darling idea of all

true Americans south of the St.Lawrence,nothing in
the American north of tlw St. Lawrence? Are Ca-
nadians to reproduce along that frontier the mise-
ries only excusable in Europe by the issue there of
races from their chrysalis of barbarism, with their
frowning forts and threatening gunboats—with their
custom-house otficiali and barriers,with their changed
laws and differing currencies ? The mind of the
Southerner, debauched by slavery, fostered a perni-
cious notion which overwhelmed in him the American
sentiment of unity ; but there is no such reason to
the north of the St. Lawrence for a feeling antago-
nistic to this grand Anglo-Saxon idea. We believe
that it gains ground in England, and thit it will
receive an impetus from Mr. DILKE'S book, which
will be trkore,widely read even than was HEPWORTU
DIXON'S "New America." The great- object is to
teach the people on both sides that they are one
race ; when even a unity so mighty as that of Aine-
rica may be succeeded by a still greater union, that
of the English-speaking peoples, which, as Mr-
DILKE, asserts, will one day possess the world.
so, and the bond of brotherhood can be established,
what was commenced on the American Continent
will extend throughout the globe.
