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 has
prohibited, and ruinous to Ireland, if not 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 itself into
an independent nation, propped up by England,
while every motive of economy, prosperity, secu-
rity, and grandeur should induce the Canadians to
enter the Union as States. Surely it would be wise
in both, the one heartily to amalgamate with Great
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 to
the American north of the 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 officials 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 t°
the north of the St. Lawrence for a feeling antag°-
nistic to this grand Anglo-Saxon idea. We believe
that it gains ground in England, and that it vial
receive an impetus from Mr. DILICE'S book, which
will be more widely read even than was HEPIVORTO
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.
