from East of sunrise to West OF sunset, and from
The North where the wild geese 90 in summer, to

is IA way IN the world 10 get this knowledge,
less by tum5Iing nbout with folks and talking
politics, and farming and lodging and steam

likely to work IN this country, unless he has wet
his feet and wa:ered his Ticker from the Penob-
scot; to the upland supposInc you would
like TO get the honest notions Of such man, and
seeing tina, there Is some matters OF mlsundGr
standing getting up bctwIxt the two countries,
thought It best to send you letter. and that You
night know II is genuine, let my printers prlnt
il, and pn, my figur head at the top ou'i--so If
one mail miscarrys the next may reach you.
In reading over tho newspapers and the pro-
ceeGngs of your Congress, see that there Is
notion IN England that folks IN tins country want
TO take Canada, and TO prevent this, reports say
you going to push more troops with red coats
into Canada, and arc going 10 buitd war steamers
on the Lakes, and also 10 organise troops with
black faces in the West Indies, and 50 forth. II
these reports true, You making about as
great mistake if YOU to put your shirt
tail end uppermost, unless you want to bring on
difficulty. and If that is the case, then you are
Going exactly right.
The truth of this matter is that except few
unruy scamps, chiefly from Canada, along the
lines, their amt n corporal's guard IN all this coun-
try naturally disposed to disturb the power Of Can
ada, much less taking possession Of IT; and :he
less able Canada was 10 oppose a conquest by the
States the more secure she would be from II, for
folks would 60 right in and help thrash out any
set of scamps who should 20 IN there to disturb
the peace. But If Won don't believe in this state
of public feeling, ald on the contrary 60 on and
crowd in fighting folks, and bald war steamers
on the Lakes our folks must do the same TO keep
eve vou and when VIC come to calkilate the
SRsnTfe o Me ay to me no." u Una. vow
would be 10 get rid of such neighbors, and then
will come bad blood and fighting, and If that be-
gins II won't cend TIL one t"ihcr knocks UNDER
and you guess which is tho mos, likely to do
we'll as | can. War is bad cnnf between
foreigners, but il is shocking unnatural and ugly
between folks speaking plain English.

Bat this aeimosi,y, f any there is, is not because
Canada is Eng'ish.-for, if the folks along the line
had any other mother tongue than English,
should have changed boundary line long and long
ago. Do you think that VIC would have been able
work along penccably with ncignbors whose :

TIA, and when ut last YOU conquered them tho \

be spoken in laws. This kept up a constant in {
