THE CANADAs.
PROM rHr ALBANY DAILY ADvrRmsra.

FROM THE ALBANY DAILY ADVERTISER.
History-and especially colonial history-in all
its varied annals presents probably no stronger
trast shan that which is furnished by the Canadas
of 1887, '3S, and 80, and the same country as
il now stands in l843. So great is this contrast
that it may well be described, and scarcely wfth
even the allowable exaggeration of poetry, in tho
words of Shakspeares Henry Nv, when by his
policy and yigor he had put at least temporary
close to the factous and bloody wars of The Roses.
The description is SO graphic and appropriate that
we persuaded readers will be gratifed to see
it; and we transSSibe it with only the preface Of a
hope, that the armsses of provincial faction may
endure longer among our neighbors than it did
among our common ancestors; that it may be not
merely bref breathing time for frighted peace
to pant" and then, when little rested, fall to blows
again. but that it may prove as durable as It is
honorable to the peace-makers and benefcent to
the people.
Congratuating his friends on the cessation OF do
nestle hosties, Shakspeare's Henry, personfying
factious civil war as one Of the Fures of the old
Mythology, he spake, as nearly as we remember, in
the following terms
