would be better without them aogether.-Thcy as
that had hcen better TO trust all along 10 chance
for the trade of these countries than to encounter the
expense of their protection Such have been the ac-

wonder such opinion should have arisen Meantime
however, the great machine continues and even sx-
tends its operations and plans Of colonization are
earnestly conem plated. The British laws the British
tastes and habits ranspanted into all regions and
is con'ended that this circumstance must unevodsbly
extend the OF British manufactures, and bind these
widely scattered possessions into great commercial
community, whose parts will be Of reciprocal advantage
10 each other.
This ought 10 be the result that il is not must boz

seems, liberal views begin To be entertained E
